If that's the top bid from the first club then that tells me we can probably get more from him.

People getting excited about it being a great deal, but I feel it's a bit short sighted. I'm sure a PL club would offer more if this is the starting point.

I wouldn't mind him going to somewhere like Lisbon. Would prefer that to Premier League.

(Although, obviously, whatever gets us most money)

Alan Nixon is saying Palace aren’t interested in Vik and Burnley weren’t impressed by his form especially in the play off run in. 🤷

can see him going to west ham, can tempt him with european football ( not quite champions league ) and he’d fit well into that team,

Don’t know where to start with this.

Let's take these points individually. And like with most talking points in football, these are only opinions and could be right or wrong.

Antonio will be phased out, he’s not played that much this season to be honest and very regularly injured.

Agree that at 33, he's getting past his prime for his style of play and his goalscoring has reduced dramatically. But he played in 33 of their 38 league games and was not in their game squad 4 times. And because of his presence, how often has he allowed another to score because defenders were tracking him ?

Forest have Awoniyi who hit form towards the end of the season and looks good. They signed Surridge from Stoke and I think he’s a good player.

Agree that Awoniyi hit form at the end of the season, 4 league goals up till Christmas, out with injury for 2 1/2 months then 6 goals in the last 4 league games. It's his first season with them and he does look the part. Surridge did sign from Stoke (misread he signed in 2022, thought it said 2023) but before that he was at Bournemouth. My bad. But as to his quality, your "good" review is my "Kevin Kyle meets Kevin Drinkell". I'd join Grendel in a "Taxi for Robins" call if we ever tried to sign him.

And finally, Luton.

Yes, I do believe if Luton were to make an offer (they won't), Vik would not be an auto start, he'd play in a rotation with Adebayo supporting Morris or another striker if he moved on. The Playoff final showed they are very similar players. Luton also have Cauley Woodrow in reserve but he's another I wouldn't want in our team.

Personal opinions. Other opinions may vary.

Too obvious for Brentford. Not their sort of signing.
I mean, Toney would’ve been an obvious signing at the time. Banging goals in, a division lower. It’s very similar in that way, although not quite as much of a threat in front of goal as Toney is.
