Very nice and good to see that he's being looked after.

Shame that Sala wasn't afforded the same level of comfort and safety instead of being sent to the bottom of the ocean in a dangerous crate in the middle of the night

Although we've known this is the likely outcome for a while it still makes me a bit sad knowing Wembley was the last time we saw Vik in Sky Blue. I wish him well but I hope his legacy with us isn't tarnished because of his slimy agent and his not so subtle techniques of forcing a move.

That goal vs Wigan will always be a highlight for me.

The game where Tyler Walker hit the post from 2 yards out during the goal celebration, haha.

Viks shirt had me zooming in to check if it was by design or if he'd had some minor splash back after washing his hands...

Vik is in Portugal now supposedly

Thanks for the memories vik, unreal couple of years watching you lead the line

as a guy in his mid to late 20’s, the best striker I’ve seen play for us

 

[shmmeee]

Not being funny Gyokores, but you could have said thanks for the memory's and goodbye to the Sky Blue Army.

The club aren’t going to post his goodbye video before they announce his sale are they?

He’ll post one when he officially leaves

Bit weird - personally I don’t begrudge Vik and his representatives getting paid for doing their jobs, which they both seem to be doing pretty well.

Yeah the vitriol against agents isn’t going to be shared by players, they probably think fans are clueless.

Took two years out on GMK!

Champers!

 

[Astute]

Why all the hate?

Thanks for giving it everything every game. My little boys first favourite player. You helped put us back on the map.

And the profit we have made can easily put us up to the next level. We all knew he would leave if we didn't get promoted last season so no surprises.

A players career is very short. Gyokeres is already about halfway through his. He deserves a shot at the big time. I don't begrudge him a thing.

 

[procdoc]

Absolute beast and unplayable at times. To sell him for such a high fee after only two seasons is incredible really

 

[SleepyGinger]

Imagine being told we’d be selling a player to sporting Lisbon for €24M in the dark days.

 

[TomRad85]

tbf to Vik he's picked a good agent, that guy got Martin Braithwaite a contract at Barca

Funny you should mention Braithwaite...

I'd be over the moon if Sakamoto is so good that we get a £20+million offer for him in 18 moths time.

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

Nothing but good memories regarding Vik, you could never fault his work ethic. He gave everything, every game. Hell of a player. His hard work paid off for both parties, almost got us to the PL, earned his big move & us loadsamoney!!

His agent is a slimy pr*ck and Fabrizo is no better, get your tongue out of his ass.

Would he have stayed if we had won at wembley?

Possibly.

Portuguese love him don't they, he got absolutely mobbed at the airport

I think so yes, although the fact he's off abroad in spite of apparent PL interest means i'm not certain of it. It will be really interesting to see how he gets on in european competition next season (im assuming Sporting have qualified for something), hopefully he is awesome and gets another move to boost our coffers.

All the best Viktor.

The goal v Wigan was one of the best I've ever seen.

 

[quinn1971]

“ can you promise goals “ i should hope so, you’ve just payed 20 million for him

Quieter to the media now he's signed for them...

 

[Calista]

Worth checking Figo Netflix

Is that the Estonian international centre half we've been linked with, currently playing in the Austrian league?

 

[djr8369]

You can see in his face he wishes it was Andy Turner and Clive asking if he’s looking forward to the Leicester game.

 

[NortonSkyBlue]

Thank you Vik,a massive move for him and frankly we have done well out of him whilst here and now with his move. Time will tell if his replacements are worthy and we all know what progress is from here on in. Promotion...

 

[Pusb1]

You can absolutely see why he's moved can't you. good luck to him! great player and gave us great service

 

[Happy_Martian]

“ can you promise goals “ i should hope so, you’ve just payed 20 million for him

I'm never one to want someone to fail but after that question and the way his agent and Sporting have acted over the last 6 months, I really hope he finishes the season on "Nil gol" He's done the club well during his stay and his fee will certainly help us for the future. But each to their own battles now, he's no longer ours and what he does is irrelevant to Coventry from the moment he signs that new contract.

 

[Garlana86]

You never know, he may come back to us in a few years when we're in the Prem

I wish him well regardless, he gave 100% and in the end he brought a shed load of wealth to the club, i hope both Coventry and Vik do well. I personally don't understand any of the negativity towards him...just my opinion of course.

It's bitterness I guess, which is natural. Like watching the woman you love run off with another man. She wasn't that fit anyway.....

Thoughts with @slowpoke

You must have known deep down he was never staying, fair play for doubling down and standing by it though
