Viktor Goykes (signing suggestion)

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.

Strange times when a club without a ground is a better prospect than us, 'where we're at' to me seems in no way inferior to Coventry overall even though I'd agree if we were talking about a raft of other unfashionable clubs.
 

Would be a sideways move for him anyway because of his build and pace he would get a premier league move he’s got all the attributes needed
 
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 ....


Even without any comments from Uncle Tony, it's fairly clear from recent history that experience will be signed on frees and fees will be paid for young lads. In fairness, it's seen us well so far. I think it is a good strategy, personally.
 
If we were to get promoted he wouod be one of the first people i tried to sign. I dont see us spending that kind of money in the championship tbh
 
Just like Diaz at Blackburn, he will be a premier league player next season one way or another.

I still say Coventry were the best team I've seen us play this season. Was very surprised how long they spent at the bottom but they're on an absolute surge now. They'll make the playoffs imo.
 
There’s no way. Class player though.

But yes, sideways move. For all their off field problems Coventry are a good side and have a fantastic coach. If he leaves it’ll be for a Premiership club (Everton were looking at him in the last window).
