Do you actually think our entire summer recruitment strategy hinges on the sale of Vik?
Juve apparently offered Vik a deal worth £11m a year.
Apparently, they're putting a 60m bid inIt's not what Juve offer him, it is about what Juve offer Sporting.
Can only read that post with a JFK voice.It's not what Juve offer him, it is about what Juve offer Sporting.
Yep, just read that…potentially looking to force a move away. Seems like sporting may have gone back and their word somewhat.Apparently refusing to talk to Sporting now.
Forcing his way out, club owner won't sell low... i would say it could get ugly but so many clubs need a top striker and there are so few available these days, i think this might go well for us.Apparently refusing to talk to Sporting now.

Sporting were of course happy to go along with it but thankfully King is quite a strong owner who held out for what he wanted. I don't have sympathy for them but for our sake I hope they get the maximum they can.He did the same with us as well. It's not exactly a good look for him.

I suspect it's more his agency rather than him to be honest.
They're clearly incredibly aggressive in their approach.
Yes, but they still represent him, so it’s a hand and glove situation.
Well, yeah I see your point but not sure football works that way…rightly or wrongly,So has he, he was happy enough when he signed the original contract.

Yep but I guess if someone has told him, “we’ll sell you for x amount next year if you stay for one more season” then he might be miffed. I’m sure he’d have done the same to us if we’d gone back on the reassurances we gave him.But it’s a two way street. Buying clubs want the cheapest deal, selling clubs want to get as much as possible. Players want security until it suits them.
Yeah and he’s hired and instructed them.I suspect it's more his agency rather than him to be honest.

well Sporting published a different version of that one. Anyway it seems verbal rather than a change in the contract, so the contract he signed is still there. I am sure both sides will compromise in the end.
He'll say he wants a move.
How they go about facilitating said move will be entirely their doing. That's their job and ultimately what they're paid to do. I doubt he has very little involvement beyond saying he wants to leave.
Blimey, I wonder what methods they’re using to force him to say he could go on strike.He'll say he wants a move.

I doubt they can say he will go on strike unless he has said, he will go on strike.

Who do you think would've advised him to go on strike in the first place?
You're giving a lot of credit to Gyokeres by thinking he'll be masterminding his own exit.
Yeah and that he approves of their approach. The idea of it all being down to the big bad agents is just naive.As mentioned though it's not Gyokeres masterminding their own exit which you seemed to infer. He'll be heeding the advice of his agency.
It's really not hard to actually figure that out.

I’ve never claimed they’re the ‘big bad’ agents. On the contrary, if they manage to secure a move for him, they’ve successfully done what they’re paid to do.
Gyokeres will inevitably be approving whatever his agent suggests as he wants a move. It's a bit ridiculous to think he solely has the knowhow to orchestrate it on his own which should be fairly obvious.
Nobody has suggested he was working independently though.
