They must have a great scouting system at Arsenal, they could've had Viktor Gyokeres from us for around £25m Sporting Lisbon could see his potential. They obviously have money to burn.

I think they're going to run foul of FFP or whatever it's called now.

Since Wenger left they've been spunking money like it's going out of style... in fact even under Wenger they went a bit loopy (best part of £150M on Aubamayang, Lacazette and Ozil).

I haven't got the FA Cup Semi-Final programme to hand but it was startling how obvious he wants a move in the interview with Sheaf. I'm not surprised he turned down Luton, I guess he wants to be in the PL this coming season. For what it's worth I think Luton will be promoted again this year. They're a strong side.

Not sure it read as 'I want a move' more that he wants to play in the Premier league - hopefully with us; semantics maybe ?

Exam conditions everyone, silence at all times in the hall. You may open your papers, time starts… Now.

Q1) How much does Coventry City profit from a Gyokeres deal if he is sold for £75 million to Arsenal with the sell-on clause stated to be 15% but reduced by 10%. Give your working as both reduced by and reduced to.
(12 marks)

Q2) Can Coventry City do better than Alan Browne in midfield? Show all your working.
(5 marks)

I never understood this process, So Sporting bought Vik for say 20mil with add ons and agreement of 10% on sell on profit. So are we owed any money from the initial fee and who pays it...

Do the Arsenal pay any remaining balance and Sporting pay the 10%. Or does the original deal with Sporting stay in place regarding installments due but pay the 10% once Vik is sold.

I would assume unless a specific new agreement is reached as part of the onward transfer, Coventry’s contract is with Sporting so it is them who owe Coventry the money.

There might be accounting/tax reasons to change that but it would need to be a new agreement reached by Sporting, Coventry and the new buying club.

somewhere between £350,000 and £28,000,000 but so long as it’s enough to secure Destiny Udogie, Tamy Abraham and David De Gea who cares.

If it really was 75M in GBP that's around 88.5M EUR... if you assume all bonuses up to 24M have already been paid and the sell-on drops to 10% then that would be a 64.5M profit for Sporting.

So 10% of that is 6.45M EUR and that is just shy of 5.5M GBP for Cov. Would be a very nice wedge indeed... but again... no one credible is actually talking about this Arsenal deal at all in the last month or so and Fabrizio Romano who seems to be a puppet or friend of the agent involved has said nothing since April.

For some context around Sporting's predicament, they just sold their #2 striker Paulinho so Gyokeres is literally all they have left:

Alerta no Sporting: Gyokeres é o único ponta de lança | Abola.pt | Abola.pt

Saída de Paulinho para o México e desistência na contratação de Ioannidis deixam ataque leonino manco; Rúben Amorim analisa nomes do plano B
abola.pt

In addition to this, a deal for Ioannidis from Panathinaikos seems to have fallen through, with Ipswich also in the mix there. It's likely Sporting will want to sign a striker immediately if Gyokeres is really going, but they also need at least 2 in anyway or they will be severely limited in attack.

Also tweeted out by Fabrizio, seems his agent is letting buyers know his injury is nothing to be worried about.

I'm amazed every top club in Europe isn't after him, he's totally unique and virtually unplayable.

Sporting could sell him for less than the release figure.

Not sure actually. I thought, if more than one club offered the release clause amount they would then bid against each other. Or does it stop at that amount and then it's up to the player who he goes to?

I think the player would be free to choose to sign for a club that’d met the release clause amount.

I genuinely sometimes wonder if we had one of the world’s best strikers playing for us. I’m not sure if we’ve ever been able to say that before.
I mean, Steve Livingstone was good but…

There aren't many forwards like gyokeres these days .. if he gets the move to arsenal it could well see him propelled into the category of the world's best forwards .. such is his unique 90s/00s style in the modern game he really stands out

The only likely way it would work is if the bidding clubs can't afford the full amount up front (as often required to trigger the release clause) and chose to structure it over eg 5 years then the release clause may become irrelevant.
