The fact we got him for a million quid is hilarious. We paid the same for Freddie Eastwood

I bet Brighton are fuming

Gyokeres hasn't had any processed food, less than 8 hours sleep or skipped a day at the gym in 3 years.

Hamer has 4 pints and a kebab in Leam most Saturday night

I have a funny story similar to that.

my sister houses Wolves academy players from overseas. She has a 16 year old from Ireland currently, and when he first moved in she asked him if he had ever had fast food he said no, doesn’t drink fizzy drinks. He did say Chocolate was his guilty pleasure though, my sister replied “we all like a bit of chocolate in an evening” he replied “I only have it once a year on Christmas Day”

couldn’t be me!

And at some stage most of our supporters called him a waste of money.

Wouldn't say most.

When he got match fit during his loan it was pretty obvious he had something.

Wherever you looked after we signed him permanently they weren't happy. Bet it was a riot on here

No 2nd hat-trick. Subbed off on 88min

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I mean it sounds crazy but keep scoring and assisting the rate he does he could break into the top 5 most goal contributions in a single season

I remember a lot of people thinking him a decent signing.

Agreed...personally i think it was the large outlay (£1m was alot for us at the time), that people were more worried about.

I don't remember anyone saying that, his first full season was when we moved back home, won the first 6 games at home and he was on fire. This thing about him being a waste of money is just not true

 

[Travs]

A bit of history being re-written here...... there were plenty questioning the decision to sign him.

Obviously he dispelled that pretty quickly.

I actually think it was probably the majority view at the time. Personally I always thought from the start he was just what we'd needed for quite a few years. I'm not going to claim I saw a world beater in him though.

And at some stage most of our supporters called him a waste of money.

Even when we came to selling him there were some that wanted to take the first bid of essentially 'whatever we could get'.

He's one of the best players I've ever seen play for us and at the moment I seem to be saying it every week because he continues to score relentlessly.

And at some stage most of our supporters called him a waste of money.

It seemed mental at the time to spend a whole million and on a loan striker that didn't do much, looked awkward and was dropped into the u21s.

Good job Robins pushed for the permanent transfer.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

One of the greatest success stories of players that played for us. He’s going to get a very big pay day by next summer and so will we…

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Astonishing

That's what sets Vik apart. Definitely has that steely Ronaldo vibe about him. Works so hard and lives so clean.

Incredible to see but I've got to say I relate more to the Gus types

 

[RobinsSkyBlues]

I remember a lot of people thinking him a decent signing.

I can imagine this place falling apart for paying 1m for a striker that failed on loan at Swansea and didn't set the world on fire on loan to us. Look at how some are trying to make out our recent success was more to do with Adi than Robins. Or underplaying how good some of our players are.

You could see he had something. The problem was working out what it was.

We were lucky to have both players at the same time. But choosing between a midfield general and goal machine is easy. Goals win games.

I’m sure at the time I was saying he had a bit about him and felt like I was in the minority, so yeah.
