Gyokeres have said yes to Sporting, but a deal with Coventry remains to be found.

[ @abolapt ]

We’re waiting on West Ham and the Rice move aren’t we?

Never thought I'd be at the point of hoping we get shot of Gyokeres now but here I am. Mutually beneficial for all if it gets done soon for the right price - he gets his good move hopefully still with mostly goodwill, we hopefully get cracking on the squad build for next year

Vik and Gus situation is holding up our transfer movement.

It’s saying he’s gonna be on €1m salary - that’s just under 17k… why are we not matching this

Doesn’t sound right his salary. Thing that’s a mistake or they don’t know. Anyway, he doesn’t want to play in the Championship and what’s to move on. So it’s not about us increasing his salary,

Because we can’t offer him European football, a likely route to the big boys, and sunny Portuguese living.

And most importantly because we need a fat wedge of cash to rebuild our squad.

Surely they’ll be fined for this. It’s completely outrageous
Seems to be the norm now for some reason, apparently Caicedo's agreed terms with Chelsea before the clubs have agreed a fee. I wonder if it's only an offence if a complaint is made by a club who don't want to sell

Sporting has to speed up Gyokeres: Everton proposes exchange and there are more interested parties

It’s against the rules to talk to a club before permission has been given
Often a selling club will tell the buyer to get the personal side of things agreed in principle with the player first. Saves wasted time negotiating terms between the clubs. No point doing that if the player won't want to make the move.

We would be totally naive to accept the first offer from anyone, his price will go up when the others join in. Grow some balls, City/Doug, and hold your nerve.

It’s been public knowledge that Sporting have been in for him and how much they’re offering for 3 weeks now. If these other sides were that desperate to get him they’d have made a move by now.

Agree with this. If someone wants him they’ll bid now.

Agreed. It'd be remiss of the club to wait for interest that quite evidently isn't really there. Especially when there's already a fair offer on the table.

Not sure why fans can't grasp this.

There are 2 scenarios here. Only offer is the SL one and that’s it. Or a club like West Ham have said we will make a formal offer for Vik once Rice moves on for example.
