Sounds like Amorim will end up at Man U so could see Viktor being pursued, maybe even in January

Yeah, this could actually have legs.Sounds like Amorim will end up at Man U so could see Viktor being pursued, maybe even in January
Brighton must be thinking if only they had kept him.2 more goals for Vik last night including an exceptional free-kick. Incredible to believe he was ours just a couple of years ago and if we knew what he'd become, I think we'd have enjoyed him even more.
For those who think we've underperformed since his departure, then it continues to demonstrate that he's incredibly difficult to replace. The flip side to that argument is were we ever really that good but were luck to have a couple of excellent players at the same time as a generational talent papering over the cracks.
Either way we were incredibly fortunate to have had him in our side and get as much satisfaction and sense of pride that he's doing it on the big stage as I do with own academy players in Wilson and Maddison.
Tbf was very raw and despite his potential it was difficult to spot what he'd become a couple of years later with us. It was clearly always in there, but before we signed him permanently, it was still a risk . Look how many of our own fans had seen him at that level below and still weren't convinced.Brighton must be thinking if only they had kept him.
I was just a bit surprised they were not a bit more patient with him. Have to admit though when he joined us on loan he didn't look that good till near the end of the season .Tbf was very raw and despite his potential it was difficult to spot what he'd become a couple of years later with us.

Perhaps it will help a few on here make sure they listen to Mark Robins when he talks about the quality our players have ! He sees them pretty much most days, he was great talking about Vic when he had him here on loan and was clearly instrumental in signing him....I was just a bit surprised they were not a bit more patient with him.

He was 23 before he shown any worthwhile ability, Premier League clubs don’t need to keep players forever in the off chance they become goodBrighton must be thinking if only they had kept him.
Vik scored a typical trademark goal in the CL last week turned his marker on the half way like and his strength and pace were too much for trailing defenders & keeper .Perhaps it will help a few on here make sure they listen to Mark Robins when he talks about the quality our players have ! He sees them pretty much most days, he was great talking about Vic when he had him here on loan and was clearly instrumental in signing him....
Hopefully he shows Simms and Wright some videos of when Vic first came here and they realise they are actually pretty good themselves .... and can get better
Well…you say that but I saw something, possibly from here, that talked about how, apart from at Swansea, Vik has been the best player in every team he’s played at, even a junior levels/reserves.Tbf was very raw and despite his potential it was difficult to spot what he'd become a couple of years later with us.

MR and his staff created The Beast, Sporting just let him loose.We will never see a player like Gyokeres in sky blue again genuinely will turn out to be the best player we’ve seen feature in a city shirt, its funny to see these articles praising Amorim for turning him into this which granted he’s made progress but look at all the work Robins did with him a lot of his game is similar to when he was here still,
The fact he’s that good even though he’s not here anymore he makes Simms and Haji Wright 2 20 goal a season strikers to some of the forum look shite sometimes

Had him anytime scorer.Vik scored again. 17th of the season in all comps for sporting and 3 for Sweden so 20 already for the season. Love it!
He didn't. Fekkin useless.I reckon he will get another - 10mins to go!
