Big battle for Vik hotting up
West Ham, Fulham, Wolves and Brentford all battling to get Gyokeres
Viktor Gyokeres was a stand-out player in the Championship last season, bagging 21 goals and 12 assists as Coventry made it to the play-off final, where they lost on penalties to Luton Town.www.dailymail.co.uk
We just need the big transfers to happen in the PL first and then the money will start flowing. Likes of Declan Rice

maybe we could look at him?

I’m pretty confident we would get a decent replacement for Vik. Lots of decent gems out there in Europe.
Not sure if it's just the picture but looks like he could be knocked over by a strong wind... would have to change our style of play a lot.

His highlight reel is pretty decent to be fair.
I see Brum have signed a Japanese international yesterday

What about Shuto Machino from the Japanese league, Celtic have had success there and Birmingham signed a Japanese international. I had a look at Shuto Machino he’s 23 and quite a well rounded striker according to his stats here’s a link:

Didn't think I'd see you come out on the side of xenophobia this early in the morning, but I'm sold.

Japanese and South Korean players are very technical and hardworking. Their style would fit quite nicely into our style of play.

I saw something on Twitter a couple of week ago that said that K-League and the J-League are two of the most similar leagues stylistically to the Championship.
Would love to see us dip into that market, but I doubt it’s on our radar tbh.

I agree, I think he wants to play and be the main man. It's only English delusions about the PL that make everybody assume it's the place players want to be

Wouldn’t say it’s English delusions. It’s financially driven. You can earn the most money there, for now.

Can't believe people are clamoring for him to stay and then go on a free next season, this is such a cross roads for the club, it's clear despite doug and co bringing some stability off the field we aren't awash with cash, we have to sell him and reinvest for the long term future of the club

Absolutely. Gyokeres, his agent and every buying club know that Cov will have to sell. Which is why Doug King should have kept quiet.

Why? The value is the value. If sporting want him that much they would find the extra couple of million

Yeah Blackburn and Diaz should be a warning to everyone. People acting like if we don’t sell him we’re definitely going up.

Personal take on this saga:
Vik fancies the Sporting move. He's said previously he'd be open to other foreign leagues. Agent pushing that for him through social media. Sporting tried to get in early with a relative low ball offer which has rightly been batted away.
CCFC are waiting until the Premier League teams bid before deciding which to entertain. There's at least 5 reported to be interested and from what I've read all their fans are behind the prospect of him signing. They'll all be able to beat Sporting's initial offer. Quite comical and obvious how Romano suggested it was Sporting or nothing (playing out his contract).
We'll get what we want for him over the next week or two.

Why should Sporting shift? They might know that Gyokeres wants the move and they might suspect that Coventry will want the money to reinvest. They just need to hold their nerve, especially if Gyokeres has agreed terms with them - through his agent.
Maybe Lisbon might move on the price, say pay £20 million over 5 years, instead of £17 million over 3 years. That sort of thing is an option.
The risk to that strategy, I would suggest, is a club like West Ham, who can offer European football and who should be rolling around in Declan Rice money.

I certainly agree that everyone is waiting for a PL club to make their move. Again, I think WHUFC might be waiting to sell Rice before they consider a bid.
But it might just be true that its Sporting or nothing because the determining factor in that is what Gyokeres wants.
When Cov sold Dion Dublin, the club eventually took a lower price because Dublin didn’t want the move to Middlesbrough, as I recall. They had offered more than Villa.

Blackburn but this is essentially correct.

I'm sure once Vik gets offered the Prem gold he wouldnt refuse terms with a PL club. He'd be crazy to turn down a chance of PL football.

Unless, of course, Lisbon want to keep the price down so they can offer higher wages.
