£14.5 million for Gyokeres..


So you're saying the deal could mean Sporting could sell him for 30m... and make a loss (after fees etc..) with Coventry making another huge profit?

Don't think it would work that way.

well no, if they sold him for 30m they'd still make a profit albeit it not very much.

it may also be a 35% of any profit they make, which would still net coventry around 5m if he moved again for 30m
 
It’ll be miles off- the 20m euros I can see but 35% sell on would mean they’d need to sell for a vast fee to even get money back- it’s an Everton site exaggerating the deal to soften the blow of missing out.
Blackburn couldn’t get any takers at £15m for Brereton Diaz despite him being two years younger than VG is now. Even getting that fee would be hugely impressive. Add in the sell on and it’s a dream deal. Miles above what Lisbon normally spend too. Makes me think this is just paper talk tbh.

canny surprised to see lisbon the named club. you don't expect it from many european leagues (bar one or two clubs) but especially not portugal
 
Remember about 10 years ago when people were thinking the football world was going mental because Van Persie went for £20m and only had a year left on his contract and it was a crazy amount for someone with one year left.

Now a Championship footballer going for £15m with one year left is seen as a bargain 🤣
I don't think it'll be too many years 'til we see the Saudi's bid £1bn for Mbappe.
 
Doesn’t fit current model too old, too expensive, too risky. It would be like buying Conor Wickham at 25. No thanks.
 
20 odd goals and 12 assists suggests he is like.
he can keep 4 defenders occupied and often has
His weakness (strangely enough given the goals he has scored) is his finishing
If he could finish he would have got 40 goals last season, but he is very frustrating in front of goal
His strength is creating chances out of nothing, and his stats in that area and dribbling were double any other championship striker last season

we will hopefully keep Hamer, and hopefully O hare back in the Autumn - It will then depend on how we replace Gyokeres and change the set up (there is nobody we could afford to make it like for like) as to whether we will be play offs again, or just mid table
 
the brereton diaz example will be on a lot of clubs minds..he didnt overly stretch himself when his contract was widing down so they didnt go up..
He f***ing did against Millwall like - was piss funny.

His team weren't getting in and he wasn't going to be there anyway - and yet the celebrations...

Just beautiful. He'll get a clap from me if he ever comes back to the SoL.
