Gyökeres Bids (17 Viewers)

[SBT]

Gyokeres’ value is at an all-time high and even if for some insane reason we didn’t buy a replacement, we still have multiple backup strikers already at the club. The same can’t be said for Hamer or O’Hare, neither of whom have proper suitors right now anyway.

The impact of selling Gyokeres will come down to how we reinvest the money, but if something has to give financially then selling him makes total sense right now.

Let's see if he's in the squad for tonight's game, if not then there's something in it.

why it's a league game, team tonight will tell us nothing

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

why it's a league game, team tonight will tell us nothing

Player's need to stay match fit for Saturday.

 

[Martin180]

McNeill was a premier league regular

Godfrey?

 

[David O'Day]

Player's need to stay match fit for Saturday.

it's league cup game in an already overcrowded season

everton haven't bid for him and he is one of many on a list of possible back up options

people need to calm down, this is no way to live

 

[fatso]

My dad used to play for Bermuda. Those were the days

Did they play the triangle by any chance?

 

[Hobo]

Did they play the triangle by any chance?

They did but one or two players had form for disappearing.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

For those ridiculing Viks estimated transfer fee it is worth noting that Everton paid 25 million for Ben Godfrey and 20 million for Dwight McNeill

That’s a good point but did both of them have prem experience?

 

[Martin180]

That’s a good point but did both of them have prem experience?

Godfrey didn't , MacNeil has just been relegated with Burnley
Everton have a history of overpaying for players ...

It makes no sense at all for a club who would like to compete at this level.
It might make sense for all those that believe the cash flow propaganda put out there to smooth through his transfer .

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Godfrey didn't

Oh yes he did

Plenty of teams who compete at this level sell their best players to PL clubs.

Anyway, unless you seriously think that our current squad are real promotion contenders, there’s a good argument that £15m is more valuable to us at the moment than one more season of Gyokeres.

 

[Kieranp96]

Well let's flog him to Everton then

20 vs 30.

Everton being linked with a loan to buy deal for Che Adams also. Everton are going back to the Kenwright days and love a loan so am not hopeful of them coughing up a big price for Vik.

 

[David O'Day]

so everton do want an ex city forward, just not vik

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Yeah he’s probably about 20th on their list. Good on his agent to get some publicity though

 

[Skybluebeliever]

why it's a league game, team tonight will tell us nothing

He won’t be in the team , that’s nothing to do with the rumours . Need to make sure he’s fresh for Saturday

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

I imagine Grendel's got it in his head that it was Boddy.

 

[CV22SBA]

'Reliable sources' make claim about £12m Everton deal from last 24hrs

Everton are not in talks to sign Coventry City striker Viktor Gyokeres despite claims that emerged in the last 24 hours, according to Fotboll Direkt.

Perhaps Southampton will buy him then

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

They want to sell Adams, he’s not being poached.

 

[David O'Day]

He won’t be in the team , that’s nothing to do with the rumours . Need to make sure he’s fresh for Saturday

pretty much my point

 

[David O'Day]

Perhaps Southampton will buy him then

heard he's werners replacement at chelsea

 

[win9nut]

What does he actually do apart from 2 long passes a game, booking and a fancy inswinging corner?

Don't forget the aqueduct!

 

[alexccfc99]

On bench

 

[SBT]

I also think he doesn’t want to go , he probably thinks he needs another season here being the main striker etc Not sure he would want to go somewhere and risk sitting on the bench again, he has did this at Brighton who were premier league and then got loaned out, don’t think he wants to do that again .

I don’t find this plausible at all tbh. If Everton make him an offer it’s going to be far beyond what he ever had at Brighton. He’d be a fool to turn that down because he wants to be the main striker at a team without a functioning pitch to its name.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Swedish international, age on his side and one of the best strikers in the league.

Assombalonga, Watkins, Bowen, Mcburnie, Grant, Maupay, Che Adams, Adam Armstrong all went for £14-30 million from championship clubs before they had played in the top flight.

Gyokeres is better than Assombalonga, Mcburnie and Grant and proven just as much as the rest were when they got there premier league move.

Anything less than £15 million is undervalued. £15-20 million is the market rate and we should hold out for the top of that range.

 

[Kilclines curly mullet]

Gykores is worth nowhere near £15 million.

If anyone offers that bite their hands off

 

[David O'Day]

Player's need to stay match fit for Saturday.

Fuck me, it's worse than we thought. We are selling half the 1st team to Everton

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

Gykores is worth nowhere near £15 million.

If anyone offers that bite their hands off

What would you take to sell him?

 

[AOM]

Robins just said he's not heard anything and said the Everton link is rubbish/people trying to make up rumours this time of the season.

Bloody hope so, but can't see us turning down a big bid if it comes in

 

[robbiekeane]

It would cost at least 50m to replace a player of that calibre.

This is a joke right

 

[procdoc]

Gykores is worth nowhere near £15 million.

Why do our fans hate our players so much?

 

[Kilclines curly mullet]

Why do our fans hate our players so much?

I don’t hate any of our players.

I simply don’t watch football through sky blues glasses.

We bought Gykores for £1 million 12 months ago. Name me a business that would not accept a £14 million (minus sell on fee) a year later.

If he finished half of the missed chances last season he would be worth the monies quoted - based on the fact that he didn’t and he has had 1 decent championship season, he is worth maybe £8 million tops in my opinion.

So anyone signed on a free a team would obviously let go for a small fee because it's all profit.

A business wouldn't sell if that asset was worth more than £14m (I'm not saying Gyokeres is)
