Viktor Goykes (signing suggestion)

Scorpion

Central Defender
We should be targeting this lad imo still young so fits the project of resale value . I thought he was top drawer vs us first game of the season. Maybe he is out of our budget but would be a real statement of intent
 

You're both probably right about Premier lge ambitions etc however it would be a real statement from the club as he ticks everybox . Contracted till 2024 so would be a high fee
 
I'm ganna stick my tin hat on here, where we're currently at and the path we're on I don't think we'll see players like him opting to come to Sunderland vs staying at Coventry. It isn't that I think they're better than us in a footballing sense but they're trying to progress now. Our focus is on becoming stable in the championship. We're biding our time to progress over time and playing through the younger lads fits perfectly into that.

I want to point out i'm not digging out anyone here. It's just the reality.

Again you're probably right given our current transfer signings and project but I'm sure if we had a fee accepted and tried to negotiate it would send out the correct signals of our ambitions...
 
Hasn't Mowbray just said that we'll not be signing many established British based players as they are too expensive. It'll be South Americans etc.

This lad would be £10m. No chance.
If true that's a concern imo. As you need players who know the lge to progress we can't rely on finding untested rough diamonds ....
