An agent telling his player not to agitate for a move?
What? So his agent isn’t in his ear saying Vik let your contract run down with Cov and I can get you a £x million signing on fee plus £xK per week in salary?
Yes if the agent can see even bigger £££ for himself in 12 months on a free transfer. If someone offers £20m in the next few days I think Vik will be gone; if they don’t why wouldn’t he just continue to do what he is doing, increase his ‘real’ value and go for nothing in Summer 24?An agent telling his player not to agitate for a move?
This is rarely a good strategy for a player and wouldn't be in Gyokeres' case as it would mean a year more in the Championship on lower wages. Even then there's no guarantee of success at the end as he could get injured or lose form. I can't see any way Gyokeres would turn down an offer from a Premier league team in the summer and decide to run his contract down here.What?

I don’t disagree but at this moment in time, if Everton are interested(?) then we would be stupid not to accept an offer of c£20m, which was my original point. The longer we have him the less he is worth to us. If we are offered that in the next few days and don’t accept ‘he could injured or lose form ‘. This is CCFC, we don’t get opportunities to make £millions on a player every day.This is rarely a good strategy for a player and wouldn't be in Gyokeres' case as it would mean a year more in the Championship on lower wages.

It makes sense for someone like Waghorn, Dacosta or Hilssner to run down their contract but not for someone clearly on the way up like Gyokeres.
I get your point but we should keep him until the summer when in all likelihood he'll be worth more. And if we don't keep him we could slump disastrously.I don’t disagree but at this moment in time, if Everton are interested(?) then we would be stupid not to accept an offer of c£20m, which was my original point.

I don’t want him to leave just like I didn’t want Wallace, Thompson, Gillespie, Thomas, Hunt, Gibson ,Babb, Pearce, Dublin, .Boateng, Keane, Juke etc to go but it’s business. I was very young but I vaguely remember the outcry when Dennis Mortimer was sold to Villa best part of 50 years ago; nothing has changed, we are a stepping stone for good players and a selling club unfortunately.

Football is a fast moving fickle environment . You don’t cash in and he does nothing special for the rest of the season and his value could half
We do sell him and face real possibility of relegation. We sell him now, we send ourselves up shit creek. Wish I could be as blasé as some who think we’d be fine with what we have left.

We have to remember there aren't really many players like vik .. for us he's a bit if a one off .Hasn’t scored for a while, sell, replace with inadequate panic buy. If he’s really worth it now, he will be in summer imo.
We’ll regret him going now, if he was to, I’m sure.
Different ownership, but not taking for granted he’ll be replaced properly. There’s 3 days left, it’s too late.

We will take a hit whe he leaves no matter when as the replacement is probably not going to be able to play like him .
It's a tough one
I know it's ridiculous, I'm sure Frostie posted some stats about how many he creates for himself, which is miles ahead of any other players in the league. At least half his goals he has created himself. Hes a 1 man wrecking ball who drags us up the pitch 30-40 yards single handedly. The idea we wouldn't miss him and we would score as many goals without it him is ridiculous.

I can’t believe this many people think SBB was talking rubbish last summer - according to him, Gyokeres doesn’t even want to leave this season.
Well if this happens then it's obviously great , but it's coventry city , and it's everton (we are to believe )I can’t believe this many people think SBB was talking rubbish last summer - according to him, Gyokeres doesn’t even want to leave this season.

One is a serial seller , the other is the countries 7th 8th most successful football club . His head will turn
Agree with the sale, even more so with the price being bandied about. Just would resent the timing.
It also helps cement his international careerAnd he’d be leaving in 18 games anyway
Vik would be daft to go to Everton and get relegated when he may have different or clearer options in the summer.

I think if we lose Vik. It will be in the summer and 2 players I’d like through the door are Siriki Dembele and Deniz Undav. Probably cost a combined 5/6 million leaving room to improve the rest of the squad
Well thats 5/6m of about 18m there’s Waghorn, Kane, and many more out of contract then plus Viks wages off the wagebillHow do we afford the wages? The transfer fee's one thing but the ongoing expense is a greater consideration, along with the wage structure in the club.
