agree you have some points however Vik still outscored him and i did'nt say 30 - there i could be wrong but i do believe proven strikers have more goals
Viktor Gyokeres: Coventry City striker 'wants to move away', says Swedish journalist
Coventry City's sought-after striker Viktor Gyökeres tells Swedish TV that he "wants to move away" after missing out on promotion.
www.bbc.co.uk
Sorrywhat. Victor currently earns €270m a year?! No wonder sisu were desperate to sell!
Yes, maybe no English clubs publicly in for him as agent has told any interested that he wants to go to Lisbon.
Just to drop this in there. “Mil” is Portugese is thousand.
As you were.
As you were.
The continued Newcastle rumour intrigues me wonder with Swedens Isak there if there could be milage in it. Eddie Howe could like the type of centre-forward Vik is.

No chance. His agents job is to maximise club interest in his player, that then strengthens his hand with the players preferred club.
I don’t think it’s good for Vik to be at the same club as Isak. He will be behind him in the pecking order and Vik needs to lead the line and be the star striker. Especially for international caps as well.
And the old Toon army love a good number 9 very traditional up there, think it’s Callum Wilson at the moment good goal scorer and difficult to push him aside but no spring chicken.
There’s no Newcastle rumour other than a scout who was enjoying the comfy seats at Wembley
I think that's a fair price for Gyok.
Minus %age that Brighton and any other former club receive from the sale, the remainder needs to be divided 60/40 between playing salary and infrastructure / club finances.
Ollie Watkins 28- 33 million to villa after having a worse 2 years in the championship overall including assists ..
We should expect 20 mill plus or a massive sell on fee
We should expect 20 mill plus or a massive sell on fee
Player throwing a wobbler with 1 year left is knocking the fee he is worth to us on a daily basis
City are in charge , demand the 20 million pound , not euros
He will bag loads in the Portuguese league for sporting
In your opinion.
Chris Wood is captain for his country, with 60 Premier League goals.
Gyok has never played in the Premier League, has a year left on his contract at a Championship club, who is tailoring their play to the player himself, there is no guarantee that teams will build their style of play around Vik in the Premier League.
In addition, I see that you mentioned Ollie Watkins, I did respond to this earlier in the thread. Ollie Watkins still had a four year contract at Brentford when he was sold to Villa, therefore they could command whatever they wanted as there was no threat of Watkins leaving for nothing shortly afterwards, not the same in CCFC's position.

I don't disagree with you, although it's not just figures, but how scouts and managers feel a player will adapt.
It's tempered by the likes of Brereton-Diaz of course.
Despite all the mood music I'm not convinced he's been set on Sporting Lisbon as his only choice, so I'd like to think if he went there it'd be for a fee we found acceptable, anyway.
Regardless of all that, replacing him is going to be a proper challenge!
Fair enough on the Watkins contract length , I doubt you'd find many people willing to take wood over vik .. would you for example rather wood here or vik ?
He's shit
I also reckon Viks a better player but Wood had scored goals in Prem and was a more proven quantity at the time of deal. forest were fighting relegation and obviously agreed to loan plus perm to get deal done
Very hard to do like for like comparisons with players. Again, just to be clear I’d have Vik every day of the week but I bet even in desperate Jan transfer window clubs didn’t offer 20m (Everton and Leeds should’ve, no brainer at time)
Whatever happens , we will receive a record transfer fee I'd imagine .
Not really, we could demand the 20m - sporting say right, we’re out, then tell his agent there’s an extra £5m waiting if you don’t sign for anyone until January then sign a pre-contract agreement with them.
we’re not in a position to throw offers like that away. You’re then left with a sulking player which I get the feeling Gyokeres is, causing issues within the team
we knew they were key players 18 month ago - the new deals should
Have been offered the start of last season
Yeah, bizarrely. Some people didn’t want to give hamer a new contract last time. That’s probably secured us a few million on it’s own

Hamer signed a new contract in March 2022!
Agree. If he’s got heart set on sporting only so far we can push it
