They've won the league without a convention striker before ,plus they rarely pay over the odds apart from Grealish .

Players like Vik do? Players that are completely unproven in the Prem? The Portuguese top flight is not a barometer of top level ability.

He has everything you need and has a determination to make the most of his ability.
Own goal for me with these top teams, could have took a punt!

Don’t disagree. Is he worth the money quoted though essentially as a risk buy.

I think so. He has more about him than Solanke for example who just went for £65mil... Arsenal spent that on Havertz who is proven to be "meh" for goodness sakes.
The way the market has moved on £50M to £60M is relatively modest for a striker that will get you 30 odd goals a season IMO.

As a city fan yes but as a football fan no but when you look at some of the transfer fees the world is mad. But he is better than Solanke and right Spurs have spent a fortune on him.

Saying it again, unless it comes from Romano or Ornstein don't believe any of the reports you hear about Vik.

Not getting my hopes up in the slightest, just feel like it’s getting late in the day for a big move like Vik.

This would really just be Sporting's replacement for Paulinho who they sold a month or so ago to Toluca in Mexico. I don't think it really means much in relation to Vik - they absolutely need at least one more striker anyway.

Edu has perfect £131m Viktor Gyokeres Arsenal transfer plan laid out
The Gunners still need to bolster their attacking options this summer having now gone three transfer windows without signing a striker

The rumours continue …
seems like a strangely precise sum £131 million. Let’s hope it’s true. Good luck to Vik wherever he lands.

This is my concern too. No rumours, nothing suggesting who we’re after and we’re only 10 days til the window closes.
Need those signings or we can forget about top 6.

Until January 31st we had no idea we were signing mason Clark

We're good enough for the top 6 now!
1 or 2 more would be ideal, but we've only really lost O'hare from last years first 11 and Rudoni is more than filling that position.
Plus having Sakamoto back is a massive bonus. And If Dovin proves to be successful we should be laughing.
Then there's the extra squad depth with EMC and BTA, and who knows how good Rodrigues could be?
There's Sheaf to come back in, and then there's the extra experience of the English game that Torp now has.
And once we settle our back 4 we should be more solid.
Top 6 should be nailed on.
What you worried about?

Want to agree to this, but feels like “Once we settle our back 4” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there

I'd be surprised. Vik and Kyogo are chalk and cheese in terms of what they offer.
Halaand will be sold eventually but can't see them replacing like for like?

Absolutely this- nailed on.
5 year plan-add steadily, spend wisely, get progressively better squad, get promoted and stay up.
That’s the kicker-the knack of squad building to stay in the premier league once we go up (and we will).
Same as Brentford, Fulham and Wolves.
The amount of folks shitting the bed because we desperately need a midfielder or a ‘old school’ centre back will be nothing to those who’ll pop up if we go up and get hammered every week.
Of course it would be great to have a couple of new additions to our squad to help with injuries and of course we miss Sheaf (who wouldn’t!).
But ffs try and be content with what we’ve got-a very, very competitive team who can beat any team in this division.
With a new midfielder or not.

Add Brighton, West Ham, Palace, Villa. All managed to stay up. Southampton and Burnley are a couple more.

Kyogo to City would just be a shirt sales signing

Only place I see Vik now is a Chelsea panic buy
Arsenal seemingly content with Havertz, and they'll regret that when his purple patch ends

Would you even swap Sporting for Chelsea at the moment

Sounds like Nketiah to Forest is finally moving in the right direction. Arsenal will bring someone in and sounds like Gyokeres is front runner.
Disappointingly it sounds like Sporting are going to miss out on that Vitor Roque to Betis though which might have helped to grease the wheels.
Arsenal fan I spoke to reckons they’ll go for a marquee signing in a different position. Sounds like they’re happy with Havertz and Jesus as backup

No I don't think he would, Sporting have every chance of winning the league again and progressing to the knockouts of the CL
