Nothing has ended yet, I said IF. But there are plenty of reports online that we are "allowing" him to leave. Everton and Celtic are the strongest rumours, some suggesting it's a done deal to Celtic.

Celtic would be a good move for him, but cant see them stumping up much more than £10m.
We had a good go at Gykores.
Did we? He seems to be doing pretty well for himself.
What’s he worth now ,I wonder
We would surely need a massive sell-on if he went there.
In addition, because we probably owe money on O'Riley, they might be willing to pay a higher fee than we think.

Their record signing is just over 16m.
If we could work a pre season friendly at the Amex into the agreement also that would be a bonus.
I doubt they'd need to.

Need to keep him, half season loan to a potential top 3 championship club and then back here for drive to the end of season finish line. If he works he is a rare commodity and getting £20-30 million is not a good deal.
It is if the club dont trust he can overcome whatever is wrong. Would represent another £25m profit in our quest for the FFP cup.

Should 'of' gone to Celtic last season and banged in goals for fun. Still should. It's clearly not an ability thing, it's a confidence thing. Playing a bit-part role at West Ham did him no favours, just prolonged the agony
I can’t see anyone offering anywhere near that for him. For whatever reason he has been terrible for the last two years and hasn’t shown any signs of improvement.

Even more reason then to keep him.

Convinced he’ll be the next Gyokeres in the sense of being allowed to leave on the cheap and then worth huge amounts in a couple of years. We seem to have a blind spot regarding this sort of out and out striker.
I don't think it's a blind spot, I just think our managers have wanted a lot more out of a striker than just shooting. You look at the all round game of players such as Pedro, Rutter, Kostoulas and Tzimas and they are very different profiles to Ferguson who is much more like Chris Wood (but better at shooting).
That said, it appears Gyokeres has developed his game quite a lot since we sent him to Coventry. Ferguson could well do the same but he has been going backwards for the last 18 months which is the key problem here rather than his profile of being and out and out striker.

Gyökeres mark two if we let him go on the cheap!
Yeeee.....no.
Happy to be proven wrong in the fullness of time.
Other out and out strikers we foolishly let go:
