PSG?!
A relegated Everton have some massive issues financiallyI'd imagine somebody like Everton could offer him 40k and he'd be on the lower end if the 1st team pay scale
Then you do what every football club does “alright Victor’s agent, don’t sign a new contract, we’ll take him on a free, give him 5m and 40k a week”For christ sake.
So if I say no thanks to the £15m what happens then?
It’s not fucking eBay

There will be a few clubs interestedYeah, this is what I’m concerned about with him entering final year of his contract and why we need a few clubs interested.
In which case, £15m was your maxThen you do what every football club does “alright Victor’s agent, don’t sign a new contract, we’ll take him on a free, give him 5m and 40k a week”
You really are either fucking clueless or doubling down and missing the point entirelyFor christ sake.

That’s similar to the Bereton-Diaz situation, no?Then you do what every football club does “alright Victor’s agent, don’t sign a new contract, we’ll take him on a free, give him 5m and 40k a week”
Talk about saying the bleeding obviousThat’s similar to the Bereton-Diaz situation, no?
Hate to say it but this is where having a Mike Ashley type owner who could afford to say “Alright Viktor, we will match the £5m as a signing on fee and the wages. Here’s clause about injuries and insurance.”
That way, it’ll cost us £5m plus £6m in wages to keep him but we’ll have a player that (if fit and in form) is worth a lot more.
This all echoes the original SISU panic when Westwood didn’t sign a new contract. They realised that an asset they valued at (say) £3m was actually worth FA. They then panicked and sold anyone under contract worth a bean (Best) and put numpties like Bell on long contracts. The rest is tragic history.
As I said months ago (and gotat), we need to get Vik tied down with a hefty contract.
He will be gone in the summer, there’s now way they’ll risk him leaving on a free.King wants prem football and will of worked out with MR the plan to reach that goal. Keeping or selling the likes of Vik, Hamer or Sheaf will be talked about and valuations put on each with replacing them part of the conversation.
Selling Vik sounds obvious come summer if he hasn't extended. But im not sure its a cert the fee excepted will have to be enough to enable MR to replace and add. If the potential fee doesn't do that could it be a calculated gamble to keep Vik and add.
Sounds unlikely but im sure that option is still on the table along with all others. Summer is going to be a busy one no matter what with players, ground, training facility, new kits and more coming from King himself on plans for the club. All this with Ashley hovering overhead, never a dull moment being a fan of this club.
I would be amazed if he signed a new one; it gives him less leverage in the summer and he’ll be wanting to move on if offered the chance.That’s similar to the Bereton-Diaz situation, no?

Exactly like that situation - and now Blackburn are scrambling around to get him to sign a new deal which he isn’t.That’s similar to the Bereton-Diaz situation, no?

You're off the negotiating panelwith a year left on his contract £10m is probably realistic imo.
Think it all depends how many are after him. Remember, if a club wants him, but won't pay the asking price, they run the risk of getting gazumped, Confident we'll get at least £10m (which we'll need, as we need 3 new strikers in all probability)with that in mind his value is dropping drastically.
West Ham are talking over a 100m for Rice and his contract finishes the same time as Viks, so we should be asking 35m at least., prem teams dont wait if they want someone enough.with a year left on his contract £10m is probably realistic imo.
Lol if it gets to Jan 1st his value becomes 0 on the basis he can sign pre contract agreements abroad.Dont under value our players, he is the best forward to leave the championship ever, that means he should go for over 30m even if he only has 12 months left on contract, talk of 10m is laughable. may be that figure with only 6 months left in Jan 2024.
If it was last summer his stock was nowhere near what it is now.Lol if it gets to Jan 1st his value becomes 0 on the basis he can sign pre contract agreements abroad.
if it was last summer - we could ask 30m, now it depends how much we need the money it’ll be much closer to 10m than 30 in his final year. Just look at Brereton Diaz
No he won’tHe will be gone in the summer, there’s now way they’ll risk him leaving on a free.
The fans could have had a game of ‘Where’s Whalley?’. Would have been more fun than the match!Scout list from last night. Doubt anyone wouldve been that impressed. But some interesting clubs represented:

KnowledgeBased on what?
Warnock will be gone in the summer, only got a six month deal at Huddersfield hoping to save their necks and he won’t.Well, Warnock reckons he'll be gone in the summer, so it must be right!! old Colin wouldn't lie or play mind games, would he???
Is that from your same source as the takeover?Knowledge
