Indeed. It's only relevant if Gyokeres is prepared to waste a year of his career and I would be very surprised if he was.Harry Kane who turns 30 next year and is also out of contact next season doesn't seem to be offered at a knock down price. I realise the negotiating positions are different however I think we should be resolved not to be seen as a soft touch.
He could agree terms with them in 6 months time and leave on a free next summer.Harry Kane who turns 30 next year and is also out of contact next season doesn't seem to be offered at a knock down price.

Then he loses a year of playing at the top level and spends a year at a lower salary. Also if he gets injured like O'Hare he misses out on a move completely. Don't see what would be in it for Gyokeres.He could agree terms with them in 6 months time and leave on a free next summer.

And if he was available for free what club wouldn't be interested in him. It would be instant profit as well as a very good prospect.Nobody has yet to answer me why a manager with money to spend who sees Gyokeres as the answer would wait a year and risk being sacked.
Sure, some clubs won't have money, but he's going to have plenty of suitors.
Which Sporting Lisbon are trying to do but they don’t have the financial clout. A Prem team will pay £15m for him comfortably.And if he was available for free what club wouldn't be interested in him. It would be instant profit as well as a very good prospect.
Can't see anything happening for a couple more weeks at least unless a club sees him as their main target and want to beat everyone else to his signing.

The Championship is as good test for strikers hoping to make the step up. Toney, Mitrovic and Watkins have all made big impacts in recent seasons.
The only red flag about Gyokeres is the amount of chances he misses. Comfortably at the top of the Championship in this metric, but otherwise is a good buy at £20m.
Becuase these days most football clubs operate a director of football model, the players are brought in to fit a system as is a manager. It’s a continuity thing - basically the manager effectively works with what he’s givenNobody has yet to answer me why a manager with money to spend who sees Gyokeres as the answer would wait a year and risk being sacked.

You think Dyche would wait? Moyes? The Australian geezer at Spurs? You think a Director of Football would do without a striker for a year?Becuase these days most football clubs operate a director of football model, the players are brought in to fit a system as is a manager.

That's kind of my point?Up to a point but Dyche’s Everton nearly went down precisely because they failed to strengthen their attack in January.
I would assume a Prem club would think they have a better midfield to supply Vik more readily with the ball ( however hopefully we can keep Gus)The only red flag about Gyokeres is the amount of chances he misses.

Kind of… up to..That's kind of my point?
Brentford or West Ham seem like a good fit IMO.
Both desperately need a striker and both play in a way that would suit him.
Modern football works like that, they’ll have a list of strikers with an attached value. If they can’t get one for the value they want to payYou think Dyche would wait? Moyes? The Australian geezer at Spurs? You think a Director of Football would do without a striker for a year?
Potentially, Gyokeres missed the most clear cut chances this season and last by a significant margin. However, he also had the lowest xG of the top scorers in the league which suggests his chances were ‘harder’.I would assume a Prem club would think they have a better midfield to supply Vik more readily with the ball ( however hopefully we can keep Gus)

Yep the best strikers score lots and miss lotsHaaland missed more chances than anyone in the PL. this is hardly a list of crap strikers:

But then you risk the chance of not getting him because he has more suitors. No instant profit to be had if he doesn't sign for you.And if he was available for free what club wouldn't be interested in him. It would be instant profit as well as a very good prospect.

And it's a stupid system.Becuase these days most football clubs operate a director of football model, the players are brought in to fit a system as is a manager. It’s a continuity thing - basically the manager effectively works with what he’s given
Or the best teams create loads of chances making the strikers look better. If you're playing regulalry for the likes of Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Man u etc and you don't score 15-20 goals then you should be considered a bit of a failure.Yep the best strikers score lots and miss lots
Bamford just delighted to be on a list of anything i would thinkHaaland missed more chances than anyone in the PL. this is hardly a list of crap strikers:

But then they'd create more chances if they signed GyokeresCertainly not the point I was making. It’s more of a consideration for Gyokeres’ potential suitors i.e. if they struggle to create chances perhaps they need to find a more clinical striker.
Not necessarily - Mourinho for instance had an issue at United there wasn’t a director of football, to deal with the off the field stuffAnd it's a stupid system.
If a manager is responsible for results on the field, then you have to give them the decision of who they buy to put out on that field.
But then they'd create more chances if they signed Gyokeres
He also made a fair few of his goals himself, too.This is spot on, didnt Vik create one of the highest number of chances in the league ? Also why he missed some sitters* as they usually involved him sprinting past players and not having time to set himself
*barely any of them were. I class a sitter as standing still, six yards out and just keeper to beat. Not sprinting at full pelt, 18 yards out with keeper closing down angle
Yep. He should have won POTS. Recency bias swung it to Hamer because of how good he was in the run in.He also made a fair few of his goals himself, too.
I really think we undervalue just how good he's been for us the past couple of seasons.
thanks for explaining the joke
