Of course it does but do you seriously think is he is going to hold on for another year? This is his best time to get a move while his stock is high. Despite what he may or may not feel about Sporting, he would still be open to a move to the premier league if the opportunity came about. We need to get the most money we can and the figures posted right now are not the best we can acheive before we even enter July.
So, I may be totally wrong, but surely there is a minimum threshold through which Gyokeres moves on. Possibly contractual, but who knows on here? If he sells for more, then happy days
I think it would be very damaging for both parties to end up in that situation. As far as I can tell Vik holds most of the cards - the club needs the money from the sale to rebuild the squad.
He would have to if the club does, that could cost him up to three-quarters of a million quid.
Maybe we do but we dont need ANY money we need the RIGHT money
I wouldn't argue with that but he has to want to go to another bidder, be prepared to be rotated, sit out when he's a bit off the boil etc. I could quite understand it if that's not what he wants.
On of the other bidders will make it worth his while
Yes but you shut up and wait to hear what opportunities are on the table for you. It’s early days and we have only had one low offer that the general public knows about, yet him and his agent are in PR overdrive trying to guilt trip the owner and club.
Have we had an offer, who off ?
Do you know we haven't had one? Do they ring you up and confirm all business to you before being made public?
why if it's early in the window and we re not happy with the offer
And they would also qualify for European football year on year with a decent chance of Champions League football. which he would not be getting at West Ham or Everton... If he was there for a few years he would also be more likely to actually win something. I know where I'd prefer to live as well.
No internet to whinge on back then, but I wasn't alone in raising an eyebrow at the fees paid for Shaw, Daish, Salako-even Breen, who turned out better but was often not picked ahead of "Williams & Shaw" (even worse, played at RB-he says in Staying Up I think that he'd rather be shot than play there!) We over paid for Gary Mc who wasn't really brilliant until his last season with us. The fees for some of these players accelerated the crowd getting on their back, especially Salako.
Some of those are harsh. Both Salako and Shaw were England internationals, Williams had a half decent rep, and McAllister had been star for Leeds when they won the league title.
I agree although the really bad signings were Daish and Jess. Shaw was sort of effective despite his clear lack of footballing skill.
Jess should have been a great signing, too. We wrecked his career!
Yes, he had a good pedigree so wasn't in principle a bad signing.
Zuniga was similar to Tavares now, one great goal but always looked a bit out of place, strange movement and positioning
Tbf Moldovan was more that the increased competition meant Dublin and Huckerby were on fire. Wasn't Moldovan himself that was a particular failure, he just never got a look in.
