Vik would do extremely well in the SPL I'd imagine .

So would Wagehorn.....

£15m would be more than fair, to expect £25m is madness IMO, nobody would pay that

I'd be amazed if we got more than £15m but as a guide apparently Forest have been quoted £15m for Keinan Davis.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Anything less than £10m would be a huge disappointment. He’s just scored 16 Championship goals, that’s the kind of fee these players go for.

If we want big money we probably need to hold him until at least Jan 23. At the moment he’s had one excellent season, he needs to add at least half a season more before clubs will pay £20m in my view.

We don’t have that privilege unfortunately like a Brentford who are under no pressure to sell. If he’s on 6 by January (and he has shown he’s a streaky player) then he’s not worth much

We need to get a reality check. The guys has has one decent season.

we would be lucky to get £5 million upfront

How many decent seasons did Watkins and McBurnie have?

Watkins did reach double figures in 3 championship seasons

What a player is worth is dictated by the level of club interested in him. At the moment it’s reported to be Fulham and Middlesbrough, not big spenders

Then we shouldn’t do the deal

What a player is worth should be dictated by the selling club. We should want to keep Gyokeres, not sell him on the cheap to do a favour to Fulham or Middlesbrough.

The club needs to sell an asset every season and that’s been made clear

 

[clint van damme]

Yes, he was a one in 4 striker for2 seasons, he had his breakout season at around the same age as Vik.

And I'm not saying Viks as good as Watkins was which is why I'm not saying we should be asking for the same fee. But there's no way Watkins was twice the player Vik is now when he went for that money and neither was McBurnie.

Just. In the first two of those seasons he scored 10 in over 40 matches.

Brewster went to Sheff Utd for £24M after scoring 11 goals in the Championship. £15M is the least we should accept imo.

He was what, 19 at the time? So that’s understandable

Is it? Makes it seem even more irrational to me.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Is it? Makes it seem even more irrational to me.

Of course, greater potential

 

[Si80]

Of course, greater potential

Yep he was seen as the next big thing at Liverpool, just a shame it never worked for him at SU in the Premiership.

Still think Vik is worth £15M+ to us. 23, International, does well standing in for Ibra at the Nations League thing and I think he'll have a few more suitors.

He's the hardest one for us to replace out of the 3 too imo.

 

[Warwickhunt]

Mcburnie 17 million oh my days!

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

So would Wagehorn.....

Rangers legend!

 

[stupot07]

You know what will happen, the bid will accepted and the transfer deal will be done on transfer deadline day meaning we won't be able to get a suitable replacement in.

[stevefloyd]

Because no one will pay that much who’d want him

Good lets outpice our assets

 

[Kilclines curly mullet]

How many decent seasons did Watkins and McBurnie have?

McBurnie was done pre COVID - money more accessible
Watkins scored 26 in his final season with Brentford

 

[Grendel]

Good lets outpice our assets

fine if you don’t need to sell one which we do

 

[procdoc]

The thing is if Vik, Hamer and O’Hare want to stay it doesn’t really make a difference. If an acceptable offer comes in they will be urged to move on, we should all know the score by now

 

[alexccfc99]

I'm split. I don't think Gyokeres is a goalscorer as such, so think the past season is as good as we'd get from him. That doesn't diminish his value to the team even if he didn't get as many goals, but might well dininish his monetary value if his profile went down.

But... he'd be bloody hard to replace, and although I'm all for a strategy of sell one to improve many positions, it'd be a proper challenge to give us that bite he gives us, and the outlet.

A nea

I don’t think getting promoted is on the clubs agenda

I don’t get why it wouldn’t be, SISU would probably have a return on their investment even if we had one solitary season in the Premier League

 

[alexccfc99]

It would be a step backwards for his career.

I don’t buy this, Celtic or Rangers would be a great move for any Championship player now that Scotland’s coefficient ranking is good enough now that the League Winners are given automatic qualification into the Champions League

 

[oscillatewildly]

Very disappointing if true, looks as though MR is going to be very busy, especially if he manages to shift Walker and Waghorn

And so he should be - all part and parcel of being the team manager. Especially at this club and with full knowledge of the tendencies of the owners.

 

[Ann Proctor-Brown]

Alan Nixon reporting interest in Vik and it may get to a level that makes it happen.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

A nea

Because they don’t have the finance to do so. Mid table in the Championship, exciting brand of football, develop and sell on a few players, will be good enough for them I think.

 

[clint van damme]

McBurnie was done pre COVID - money more accessible

So the answer is Watkins had one good season.

And again, he went for 28. I'm saying 15 for Vik which is almost half. No way that's unreasonable.

What asset did we sell last season then ?

You have your opinion, I have mine
