Keeping their powder dry whilst we sign other players else they try to shove the price up when we negotiate
Keeping their powder dry whilst we sign other players else they try to shove the price up when we negotiateReally surprised Gyok hasn't been announced yet. I love the fact we have landed our target first rather than selling then panic buying!
Has'nt had a medical yetReally surprised Gyok hasn't been announced yet. I love the fact we have landed our target first rather than selling then panic buying!
Even so it's a turn around from the position we normally end up in.Has'nt had a medical yet
What if he fails his medical?Really surprised Gyok hasn't been announced yet. I love the fact we have landed our target first rather than selling then panic buying!
Always a risk isn't it...What if he fails his medical?

Another u turn on boxes prices, now a million a year.
Then we have Gyokeres & Simms easily the best strike force in the championship.What if he fails his medical?
The sporting Lisbon box holders WhatsApp group kicked off and forced them to up their bidBut he is in the know so he is right, must be another sporting Lisbon that have purchased him.

I remember Willie Carr was about to sign for Wolves £250,000 (a decent fee back then). But failed a medical over concerns about knee surgery he had had .
Six months later he went to Wolves but for £80,000. He played for them for about 5 or 6 years and making 237 appearances for them and scoring 21 goals.
Yeah when they came back with that offer, we should have told them where to stick it.I remember Willie Carr was about to sign for Wolves £250,000 (a decent fee back then). But failed a medical over concerns about knee surgery he had had .

People seem to forget that McAllister before the 99/00 season wasn’t great. Clearly, he was a fine player, a technician . However, we weren’t good enough to play a passing game so he was ineffective for the most part. Once Hadji, Chippo, and Keane joined he was a different player .Mcallister was a brilliant example of a captain. I remember when he was injured during a game and had to go off, but before he did he went around to each player geeing them up to get the best out of them.
Good enough for Liverpool though, maybe they had lower expectationsPeople seem to forget that McAllister before the 99/00 season wasn’t great. Clearly, he was a fine player, a technician .

The loss of Keane and McAllister during the close season in 2000 was fatal. That opening home game against Middlesbrough was horrifying
I think 99/00 was the only season he was not carrying an injury. 97/98 he should have had an operation on his knee but put it off so he could play in WC and then broke down in his 1st game back & missed WC anyway.People seem to forget that McAllister before the 99/00 season wasn’t great.

Yes he had to go so deep to get the ball, the opposition knew he was our only playmaker. Even on the ball you could see him looking and looking, but there was no movement and no options most of the time.People seem to forget that McAllister before the 99/00 season wasn’t great.

Can anyone explain what being a cuckold actually means? Is it when your wife leaves you? Mine is still here.
Don't Google it from a work laptop..He used a term cuckold beta male which is weak cowardly and often showing feminine traits
It seems that it’s a departure from the Shakespeare meaning used to describe Othello

Any excuse to give Gareth’s song another airing!Keane was a wonderful short term luxury. Vik was a pleasant surprise who we have made an absolute killing from. Hamer for me has the makings of a legend. Fadz an absolute warhorse I would start to put into legend status. Across the years, Hutchinson, Regis, oggy, Peake, Dublin, Shaw, Huckerby, Speedie, McSheff
Let's have a think about it.
@KenilworthSkyBlue is completely missing.
@SBT is praising the deal and hoping no one calls him out on the cuckold behaviour so long as he plays along and acts like it was always what he was going for.
Two weeks ago both were arrogantly telling others we would be business stupid to not take the first offer. We've since added about 7 million to that by simply knowing our and Gyökeres' value.
We could also go at @fernandopartridge and @shmmeee but I have a bit more respect for them so happy to leave them out of it for now.
Page 65-80 of this thread are absolute gold. It's bedwetting heaven. I would advise anyone to go and review before some of those posts get inevitably deleted.
At the end of the day we should have had a bit more respect for Gyökeres and how much he would be appreciated for other clubs. His development alone could now fund a proper squad that could get us to the PL. Shame on anyone who was willing to sell him at the first offer. I'll never take them seriously again.
Still not been officially confirmed yet or have I missed it?
ThanksProbably medical tomorrow.
This may come as a surprise but I genuinely couldn't care less whether you take me seriously you complete and utter freak.
Agreed. It'd be remiss of the club to wait for interest that quite evidently isn't really there. Especially when there's already a fair offer on the table.
Not sure why fans can't grasp this.
No, I'm suggesting the club needs to read the room. It's an idiotic strategy waiting until later in the window in the event a PL club might table what in reality is an unrealistic bid.
It's a risk they're more than entitled to take but Blackburn attempted the same tactic last summer with Brereton Diaz and it failed miserably.
It's not an under the odds offer really is it...
You do realise this is the exact strategy that Blackburn had with Brereton Diaz last summer and it failed miserably don't you?
Or were they just lacking in your awe inspiring business acumen?
Well it isn't really is it. It clearly highlights the risk clubs run when they try to hold out for inflated fees when the interest deemed to be as strong as initially thought. But bury your head in the sand if you so wish.
Very good deal and the transfer fee is more than fair.
This you after the first bid m8?
How are the book sales going Earlsdon? Still on single figures or did you manage to garner interest at the local car boot sale?
Feel free to send me one I could do with some more shit to burn for the BBQ.
We got £20m for a guy who could've negotiated a free transfer in 6 months time. That's a win.
Not here though, a “legend” in my opinion is how they played and what they did here over the years, Robbie lot of time for and always respectful when he scored against us but playing just a season not a legend in my eyes.I'd say compared to some we've had who have been classed as legends, Keano was pretty close, regardless of time spent here. Jarni was here for less but spoken about far more often.
And as for Vik's status, he's still a rough diamond and could be frustrating at times. But he was definitely quality, just in a different manner. Could you genuinely compare Vik and Quinny ? Both strikers, one played 100 times for us, the other 65. One is legend, the other is leaving for SL. Keane only played 30 times (a third of Vik's games and half of Quinnys) yet I'd say he fulfilled the duties of a legend and would put both of the other two in his shadow.
Christ I hope he doesn’t run a business after reading all thatThis you after the first bid m8?
