Reveal video on Sporting’s Twitter page is fucking dreadful.

Executive Chairman Doug King said.

"After a long discussion, we have finally concluded a deal that is right for all parties concerned and confirm the transfer of Viktor Gyökeres to Sporting Lisbon.

"Viktor has made a huge impression in his time with us and leaves many great memories and we wish him every success with his new club.

"Once again, the quality of the coaching staff at our club has been showcased.

"This is a record transfer fee for Coventry City but as is normal will be paid over an extended period, with Brighton & Hove Albion taking a meaningful percentage share.

"We have already been active in the market as we rebuild for the new season and will continue to recruit selectively but these funds will also support the extensive infrastructure projects the club is undertaking."

"

So in essence, not a huge amount is going into the transfer budget it would appear, more in the infrastructure.

‘Unforeseen costs’ HERE WE GO

Done.

I'm just glad he hasn't joined a crappy bottom half PL team or one of the relegated teams. Good luck to him, he has been phenomenal since signing for us permanently. He's single handedly dragged us through games. He will be missed and we were lucky to have had the pleasure to watch him play at that level week in week out.

WHAT DOES THE CELEBRATION MEAN

I thought it was the Bane mask?

 

[Fysnkysc]

I hope Doug is just trying to bluff out over clubs who think we’ll have loads of money in the official site press release…

Carefully down playing what we’ll have to spend?

Of course he is. Oldest trick in the book to plead poverty so we don’t get ripped off in future moves.

Those windows don’t pay for themselves

 

[Jamesimus]

Good luck Vik, but also, this reveal is an absolute shambles. Hopefully Sporting aren't looking at our social media team...

Let's just say the culture is a bit different over there...

Good luck Vik

So do we get a farewell video out of that private jet trip to Faro or did he just forget his shinpads

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

Proving beyond all doubt that he's lucky hes good with a football cos he'd never make an actor

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Going to miss him big time.

 

[Sick Boy]

Can't help but feel majorly gutted he's gone.

Support, not fund. As it should, this is the most money the club has had to play with and it should be used to develop the long term future of the club.

When I read it, that’s what I thought too.

No doubt the Doug bashers will have the pitchforks out though.

BS always comes out. it's not a good look when you forget what you've said in the past...

What do you want him to say then? "Oh hello everyone we now have millions to spend please put your prices up"

 

[Saddlebrains]

No

But don't publicly claim all the work being done at Ryton and new pitch etc is all coming out of his pocket and then say the vik money is going towards it in the statement

Contradicting himself

 

[Samo]

I'm not.
Has been on the cards for months, the fee is fantastic for a player with one year remaining on their contract and is unproven above championship level... and Simms could potentially be even better. Good business.

Haha! Right. Some proper lunatics on here. 'Hey everyone we're loaded, please inflate your asking price when we call'. Good business in this window so far.....trust the process!

 

[Balli001]

No

Not really. If he has already paid for pitch works at ryton then its out of his pocket.

 

[AOM]

I like to think he had to record this video in the toilets with the lights off on the flight over there
