I’d rather Gyokeres stays.If the article is right he wants 25m Euros which would be around £23m pounds. £5m extra I can understand why Doug's playing hard ball. the issue, as Kenilworth mentioned, is that nobody wants to pay this outside of England (or even in England from what we have seen.)
It's obviously not an ideal situation, is it?
I'm sure MR will be pushing for a resolution ASAP as well as he'll be speaking to DK about the importance of getting things done as soon as they can.
Forgetting how Viks sale is impacting potential 'ins', my point about is playing harder in situations like this, still stands. We cannot be pushovers anymore...too often we've been in meltdown on here for poor transfer fees received. You've probably moaned about some of the fees received previously as well.
It does need resolving ASAP though, I do agree.
Vik out for £20m+, Hamer new contract, 3 newbies in and a new kit launch. That's my hope for the week ahead.
But this is the issue, hes sticking to it and its hs way or no way again

He needs to know that with Vik set on Lisbon and them not budging on 20million euros, hes risking it 3 fold. Losing Vik for fuck all next year, an unhappy player for next season who lets be honest does seem prone to a tantrum and half arsedness if he dont get his way, and will stop the rebuild we so desperatley need with such a small squad
Than get £20m? for him. Clueless, he doesnt want to be here at all.I’d rather Gyokeres stays.
Nah, they are just throwing a tantrum because we aren't budging. If Gyokeres heart is against the prem move, we are limited in competition coming in for him.The amount Sporting are panicking makes me think they are worried someone else will come in
According to loads of no marks on here, Vik stays we challenge for promotion he leaves it’s fingers crossed his replacement comes off.Than get £20m? for him. Clueless, he doesnt want to be here at all.
Yes he clearly wants to stay and those tweets by Fabrizio totally werent on behalf of his agent who is trying to force a move. I wish my head was in the sand as deep as yours is.According to loads of no marks on here, Vik stays we challenge for promotion he leaves it’s fingers crossed his replacement comes off.
22 goals 12 assists takes some replacing.
He wants to go and you don't replace that with one player, we look to spread the goals and assists around the team more because for large periods it was either Vik or Gus that was going to scoreAccording to loads of no marks on here, Vik stays we challenge for promotion he leaves it’s fingers crossed his replacement comes off.

Poor Vik can’t even read Romano’s tweets because he can’t speak English, probably has no idea this is happening.Yes he clearly wants to stay and those tweets by Fabrizio totally werent on behalf of his agent who is trying to force a move. I wish my head was in the sand as deep as yours is.
I heard hes taken this extra holiday off unpaid too because he loves the club so much.Poor Vik can’t even read Romano’s tweets because he can’t speak English, probably has no idea this is happening.
I’m glad you have said that it’s been said on here by no marks he’s not interested wants out etc. he has never given less than 100% on the pitch.That's harsh, I've never seen Gyokeres be anything but professional in terms of commitment on the pitch.
Is there a shred of evidence any club values Gyokeres at £20 m?
I didn't say there was - I said it was my hope.Is there a shred of evidence any club values Gyokeres at £20 m?

Seeing some transfer fees from Championship clubs over the last couple of seasons, I'd say £20m is a fair price.
It's part of what happens when the club cannot afford to offer longer contracts to these younger players, whether it's risk, wages or a combination. Even if we do get a late offer now that suits Vik too, it's unlikely to be a great deal better.£17-£18m is a more than fair price for a player with 1 year left remaining on his deal.
With respect, you've no idea what I've taken into consideration!It really isn't and with respect the comparables you're making are quite clearly incorrect as you're not taking into consideration the variables that are relevant to each specific transfer.

The guy is an international, has been involved in circa 30 goals last season in a competitive league, has strong attributes. Granted, he does only have 1yr left on his contract but decent strikers are hard to come by.
To be fair, everyones entitled to their opinion so happy to see differently on this one.
Is there a shred of evidence any club values Gyokeres at £20 m?
They almost certainly will be...In all this, there is no reason not to be recruiting out of contract players if they are of the required fit for us. Lots has been saved in wages on outgoing players.
No point , his head has been turned and wants out.I’d rather Gyokeres stays.
Honestly? No one specific.Out of interest who have you compared Gyokeres to.
The majority of players sold circa £20m+ (or in the vicinity of) in the Championship were from recently relegated former PL clubs. Or they were prospects such as Bellingham or Kane-Potter who were picked up for a premium price due to their potential.
Then there's wildcards such as McBurnie who are simply exceptions to the rule.
Benrahama and Watkins were always going to attract premium bids. They had years left on both their deals and had respectively fantastic seasons. Watkins is obviously English which inevitably comes with a premium. Brentford are also shrewd in terms of their ability to negotiate favourable transfer fees.
I’d be very surprised if he did.If for whatever reason the deal doesn’t get concluded this week, I assume he will be going to Portugal for the pre-season tour?
He can do some flat viewing while he is thereIf for whatever reason the deal doesn’t get concluded this week, I assume he will be going to Portugal for the pre-season tour?
I’ve heard the tour might be off anyway. Doug’s insisted on packing everyone’s bag for them and the players are angry that they would have to lie at the check in desk when asked if they’ve packed their bags themselves.If for whatever reason the deal doesn’t get concluded this week, I assume he will be going to Portugal for the pre-season tour?

no just Turner reporting sloppy seconds again. He was actually quoting fans, King's said nothing in public as far as I can seeJust heard that Doug has told Sporting to stop wasting our time, pay the money or fuck off.
Way to go Doug!
