I bet Brighton are fuming
I bet Brighton are fumingThe fact we got him for a million quid is hilarious. We paid the same for Freddie Eastwood
I have a funny story similar to that.Gyokeres hasn't had any processed food, less than 8 hours sleep or skipped a day at the gym in 3 years.
Hamer has 4 pints and a kebab in Leam most Saturday night
Wouldn't say most.And at some stage most of our supporters called him a waste of money.
Wherever you looked after we signed him permanently they weren't happy. Bet it was a riot on hereWouldn't say most.
When he got match fit during his loan it was pretty obvious he had something.
I remember a lot of people thinking him a decent signing.Wherever you looked after we signed him permanently they weren't happy. Bet it was a riot on here
Agreed...personally i think it was the large outlay (£1m was alot for us at the time), that people were more worried about.I remember a lot of people thinking him a decent signing.
I don't remember anyone saying that, his first full season was when we moved back home, won the first 6 games at home and he was on fire. This thing about him being a waste of money is just not trueAnd at some stage most of our supporters called him a waste of money.
I actually think it was probably the majority view at the time. Personally I always thought from the start he was just what we'd needed for quite a few years. I'm not going to claim I saw a world beater in him though.A bit of history being re-written here...... there were plenty questioning the decision to sign him.

It seemed mental at the time to spend a whole millionAnd at some stage most of our supporters called him a waste of money.
That's what sets Vik apart. Definitely has that steely Ronaldo vibe about him. Works so hard and lives so clean.Gyokeres hasn't had any processed food, less than 8 hours sleep or skipped a day at the gym in 3 years.

I can imagine this place falling apart for paying 1m for a striker that failed on loan at Swansea and didn't set the world on fire on loan to us. Look at how some are trying to make out our recent success was more to do with Adi than Robins. Or underplaying how good some of our players are.I remember a lot of people thinking him a decent signing.
We were lucky to have both players at the same time. But choosing between a midfield general and goal machine is easy. Goals win games.That's what sets Vik apart. Definitely has that steely Ronaldo vibe about him. Works so hard and lives so clean.
Incredible to see but I've got to say I relate more to the Gus types
I’m sure at the time I was saying he had a bit about him and felt like I was in the minority, so yeah.I actually think it was probably the majority view at the time. Personally I always thought from the start he was just what we'd needed for quite a few years. I'm not going to claim I saw a world beater in him though.
That Messi stat is MentalAstonishing
Speak for yourself.You could see he had something. The problem was working out what it was.

I don't think anyone predicted that, or the impact he'd have here.I'm not going to claim I saw a world beater in him though.
One of them was offside though, which sours his achievementMessi in 2012 though
Messi in 2012 though
The buy back clause could be executed. You may be over cooking this? He’d need 5m /year wages. We are a ‘Not too big club’.If Doug was serious about this club and wanted to win the fans back, he'd sign him.
£70mill is the reported figure, with our sell on fee it'll only be £65mill. Great bargain
Reckon we'd win the champ with him, some kids and season ticket holders playing, so we'll just sell the first team to raise the funds.
Listening to podcast other day and they said gyokores prob go for less than release clause and sporting know this
I rmemrbe one poster arguing with me till blue in the face that a player will never go for less than their release clause lol
Hopefully we do get the release clause triggered of course but we may have to make do with him being sold for 60m or something
