All I’m saying is I don’t believe we would be spending £8m on any player at this time. I think the fee is significant lower in my opinion.He has multiple seasons as a 1 in 2 scorer in a good league which is ranked almost identically to the championship
how much would a similar player in this league go for?
yeah, and wil only ever hit the full amount if we go upThe fee is obviously going to be structured very similar to Simms. Think it is more likely to be £4ish million upfront

Referring to my last para this is a useful video to watch. 2 goals and an assist in the game but you can see he can be frustrating where what he’s trying doesn’t come off. Some of it is he’s getting a lot of physical attention from defenders and drawing fouls but some of it is decision making, speed of thought, and probably could be improved with coaching.Looking at some of his highlights it seems obvious why he has drawn attention and bids from a few clubs? He’s quite technical and skilful, can carry the ball up the pitch, good at linking up play, excellent at holding off defenders, very calm in front of goal, has scored goals in a decent European league and has good amount of international experience. To me he looks like he could be very good in the Championship.
All those things are going to cost you a few million. Compare that to Vic who cost about a million and at that point has only shown a few glimpses of a few of those traits.
Fee might be a little high but looks like the market has pushed up his price a bit and they want to maximise their income like we did with Vic.
From highlights alone I can’t see where the negative comments from US fans are coming from. I’d imagine you’d need to watch him over the course of a few full games, but fans can quickly get on the back of big players who can look clumsy when they don’t pull things off.
Normally agents and clubs are pretty aligned on these aspects before clubs start bidding …. The reverse of how it used to be !I presume 'agreed a fee' means we have yet to agree personal terms?
I read a Turkish report they had been agreed. Its just the medical leftI presume 'agreed a fee' means we have yet to agree personal terms?
Takes a good penalty at least.Referring to my last para this is a useful video to watch. 2 goals and an assist in the game but you can see he can be frustrating where what he’s trying doesn’t come off.

it's very. very very likely thoughYou can't possibly know that. The structure of the deal has been reported in the Turkish press. Of course payments will be phased, as will our payments from Sporting Lisbon, but just because one deal has a promotion clause it doesn't mean this one does.

Robins did say our new recruitment team are working day and nightBTW for the millionth time, nobody buys statistics. They buy attributes.
So reminiscent of GyokeresReferring to my last para this is a useful video to watch. 2 goals and an assist in the game but you can see he can be frustrating where what he’s trying doesn’t come off.

Good, he can take the sixth one at next years play-off final.Takes a good penalty at least.
Agreed. MR seems to be spending throughout the pitch and don’t think he’d use too high a proportion of his budget on one player.It’s a worry inducing fee for sure, but only if this is all our remaining budget. I suspect it’s not.

Lots to be excited about in that video.Referring to my last para this is a useful video to watch. 2 goals and an assist in the game but you can see he can be frustrating where what he’s trying doesn’t come off.

He did say a couple of weeks ago of another 9 coming let’s be honest leaving us all scratching our heads a bit, I’m losing count but think we have had five since that statement, can’t keep up what a close season we are having.Agreed. MR seems to be spending throughout the pitch and don’t think he’d use too high a proportion of his budget on one player.
For the amounts spent in relation to the money we had available I'd say they're comparable. Hamer was our biggest fee since Freddie Eastwood, Gyokeres was a similar amount and paying instalments of the latter was significant enough to disrupt our cashflow just last season. So at the time they also represented considerable gambles on the club's part.
We aren't spending money we don't have.
I think he looks good there. No player does everything right all of the time. If you looked at Gyokeres' contributions in a match there would be plenty of mistakes as well as the good parts.Referring to my last para this is a useful video to watch. 2 goals and an assist in the game but you can see he can be frustrating where what he’s trying doesn’t come off.

was why he needed 3-5 chances to score?I think he looks good there. No player does everything right all of the time. If you looked at Gyokeres' contributions in a match there would be plenty of mistakes as well as the good parts.
Absolutely but some fans will quickly criticise players when they make mistakes. Even when what he tries doesn’t come off he’s a handful, much like Gyok.I think he looks good there.

According to Believer the Gyo instalments were a factorGyokeres didn’t cause cash flow issues - the increased wage bill was the issue

You are correct there, there will be a group of punters on here selling him in the next window and the one after that.He bangs in 5 in his first 5 games and the same people will be the first to say he's worth £15m.
Don’t you think selling nearly 19000 seasons tickets, nearly six thousand new and at proper prices helps the increased wage bill.Wages were well over a million a month when we weren’t playing - that’s always the issue - the fees are one thing - it’s the wage bill that needs funding consistently over time
