Why do people always feel the need to compare with other players? He is no Wilson or Dele, he is his own man and possibly as he will be on the international scene for many years will go on to better things than the two mentioned. As someone said, his development has massively increased in such a short period of time and from the look of the goal yesterday he is not a one season wonder. However, for that to happen he needs to play under a boss like Wilder as he would build the team around him. If he is still at Boro in January and they are chasing the play offs he will surely put in a bid for him. The only thing is, if he truly believes he is the best player in the Championship he has to pay the value to match those comments.
@SBT thoughts?
Nice of Wilder to put more value on our Vik.
He’s certainly in the conversation! Off the top of my head, I imagine that Sarr, Chair and Brereton Diaz would have something to say about it!
Didn’t you say he was the one player we should have sold?

If we got an 8-figure fee and could reinvest some of that on several squad improvements, then yes. We would hardly be the first team to do it.
Your presuming MR would see the money. On current experience with the Hyam deal if we got 10 mil for Vic I dont thing MR would see more than a millionIf we got an 8-figure fee and could reinvest some of that on several squad improvements, then yes. We would hardly be the first team to do it.
It hasn’t exactly worked well before has it?
so much of his work is done turning defenders and running the channels, would he get so much space in the PL?
Depends who you ask - seems to have worked out ok for Hull and Brentford.
You say the alternative is apparently two years of watching Vik try and stop us getting relegated single-handedly while the rest of the squad goes nowhere - in which case, I suppose, yippee?
Brentford? Brentford had an interest free loan from the owner of £100m and a wage bill of £44 m on promotion so I’m not sure where that’s going
Hull? They have spent and now have sacked the manager and have lost 5 in a row
Every time we sold a top scorer in January it’s not exactly gone well has it?
Nowhere have I suggested selling him in January - you’d get less money for him and he’d be much harder to replace.
Are Hull in a better place than they were before they sold Bowen? Recent form notwithstanding I’d say they made the correct call. I’m sure they didn’t want to move on their best player - no-one does. But what makes us so special?
He won’t be going anywhere in JanuaryIf he hits form before January what value could we expect to get in January for him?

Is it worth trying to give him another improved contract...(he deserves it) would he sign one though?
If we carefuly discuss a new contract with him (with transfer fee triggers) so it works for all parties.
We should be all over this...even though we cant really afford x more wages for him.
Think Giving him a new contract in January or the Summer isnt going to tempt him. Gotta give him get out clauses and pay him now even if its an improvement in big goal bonuses.
At least we got to play them before the change, unlike Huddersfield and probably West Brom by the time we play themSacked!
Toodle PipSacked!
Unless a premier league club offer big money - which would then help the situation enormously- we have to hang onto him even up to the final January before his contract expires
If he didn’t go for the Stoke job I don’t really see why he’d go for that one.

Don't think they made an approach did they? They seemed pretty set on Neil from the outset (though were apparently admirers of Robins as a potential 2nd or 3rd choice)
I think he'd take the Boro job if offered
He didn’t take the Sunderland job even when we gave him the green light. As G says I doubt Gibson would be bothered by compensation but I don’t see MR going for this post
I can understand him not taking the Sunderland job at that time, We were on the way up.
With the shit that's gone on this year I could definitely see him being more tempted and Boro would be a good job for him.
I hope I am wrong
