Also, ‘imminent’ outgoing with with either Connolly or Zeqiri to replace him at Coventry? Having had so much success with Gyokeres, surely they’ll be back for more?
That, my friend, is why it unanimously wins the ‘most BS transfer story or the window’ award.
A healthy reminder that the vast majority or rumours we see about potential Albion signings are utter crap.
Surely Coventry will have to sell young Viktor Gyökeres to a Premier League team now?
We’ll surely get a lovely, big, fat, South-American-Wonderkid-funding sell-on fee. I wanted Coventry to win today but this is a silver lining.
This one seems to be heating up for Everton:
Very much a Dyche style signing, he does not have the all round game of Ferguson or Welbeck so not regrets but how much will we get from this deal? 30%???
It’s a shame that Stoke couldn’t their young Brighton loanee defender who’d smashed it at Coventry but has now left for Italy and could have helped thwart young Victor if he’d been given the minutes he surely deserved earlier in the season. It’s also sad that the lad we purchased in Victor’s...
He’d have been in a queue behind:
Maupay
Welbeck
Connolly
Sima
Sarmiento
Locadia
Ferguson
Tolaj
Khadra
Mitoma
Zeqiri
Etc.
We have plenty of available forward options or ones in development.
The club are after top 10 level strikers remember.
I think we sold him for around £1m which is great value for a Championship club for a young striker well on their way to double figures. I’d be shocked if there wasn’t a heft sell-on clause.
Listening to reports from the match yesterday, he somehow managed to miss two one-on-one chances before he got his goal. Clearly his finishing is not better than Zeqiri (his replacement) or Connolly.
