We should start a poll, ... should Pep get the sack?End of the world Man City lose 2 games on the trot! Fook them.
Especially as he only had 1 year left and was never going to sign a new contract.Where does what we got for Vik rank in all time Championship deals?
Heard a few murmurs on twitter that we had our pants pulled down by Sporting which is frankly ridiculous. We got full whack we could for a player with only 2nd tier experience
Ferdinand and the other prat rubbishing his finish, scuffed it, does it even fucking matter?? HE SCORED!!
Because he wasn't fashionable thenFerdinand did go on to say after the game how did the English clubs not sign Viktor, they have missed a trick.
A personal favourite of mine (which I counteracted at the time) was this. I'll spare the author's identity. Another fine example of someone getting it hopelessly wrong and projecting the same mistake onto everybody elseThe best ones are those who said he’d never be more than 3rd / 4th choice and we should offer biamou s contract ahead of him
Gary mac won the uefa cup , division 1 title (prem ) uefa super cup and was in the PFA team of the year 4 times .From my era, only Robbie Keane comes close to Victor, and I think big Vic has got it in my eyes.
Not getting him a new contract quicker ultimately relegated us I think.Gary mac won the uefa cup , division 1 title (prem ) uefa super cup and was in the PFA team other year 4 times .
A top top footballer

100% you have to have talent and single blooded mindedness, and big Vik has it in abundance. You've also got make good choices and also have a bit of luck, dropping down to Championship and getting 100 games under bjs belt, then choosing Sporting with a good coach allowing him to further develop away from the pressure, hyperbole and scrutiny of the PL.You have to credit Vik for being so determined to get his career going and then to become a world class striker is some doing. All from the Championship as the platform. His mentality is 1 in a million. We’re lucky he played in our shirt.
He picked the wrong choice once or twice also, running into blind alleys and a couple of passes which didn't come off, carry on Vik!He blew that first chance though didn't he! Some would have been calling for his head - and the managers - at that point.
This is the reason we had to completely change our style of play. He did the work of 2 players regularly. As did HamerVik has become a class act. He shown he had it in him at City. The amount of times we lobbed balls up in his vicinity and he won them and terrorised defenders on his own. Never stopped running, incredible energy levels……legend for sure !
He does but he always sounds like he knows someone who can do you 3 for 100Clinton always bigs us up in the media fair play to him
Can't speak highly enough of Vik. Supreme professional who has worked hard to develop his undoubted ability. Great credit to the Cov coaching team for their part in this process .Can only wish him all the best wherever he ends up. Phenomenal striker whose record speaks for itself.

Gyokeres 6 Let’s be honest, this guy is entirely forgettable, and if he signed somewhere else tomorrow, not a single one of us would care

There were more than a few on here who thought we’d be better off offering Biamou a new contract instead.A personal favourite of mine (which I counteracted at the time) was this.

Excellent point well made. I guess you'd have to put Gordon Strachan in as well. Not as a manger mind
Edit. Joe cole too!!
That the point I make regularly about him playing two positions on team. giving us almost an extra man. Played nearly 100% og games in two seasons also.This is the reason we had to completely change our style of play. He did the work of 2 players regularly. As did Hamer
The crazy thing is you have to think he will get better yet because of that mentality. He has a hunger and drive that is world class.You have to credit Vik for being so determined to get his career going and then to become a world class striker is some doing. All from the Championship as the platform. His mentality is 1 in a million. We’re lucky he played in our shirt.
He looked a bit raw but there was potential and he got a few goals from the bench often playing from the wing.I still can't help thinking of his loan move here, he basically bumbled around with the ball looking so clumsy. To becoming a single handed attacking force for us at times.
And wilder sulking because we wouldn't accept a bag of Doritos for himYou do have to look back and laugh when clubs like Burnley and Sheffield United thought they would have him from us
He wanted him badly when he was at Boro, tried tapping him up and Vik couldn't say no quick enoughAnd wilder sulking because we wouldn't accept a bag of Doritos for him
