Viktor Gyokeres

I think the thing that is often missed from the conversations of Gyokeres.

We quite literally would not have been able to afford the price we were quoted - it wasn't a choice not to sign him. It was an impossibility with FFP rules in place.

It would have been a get promotes or risk points deduction situation.

His form also shows why coventry were able to get more money than we were able to for Chuba.

Don't get this "would have got a points deduction" its not like we have splashed the cash buying players.
Plus I think we would have only been interested had we gone up and its a whole different ball game then.

I just meant - if we "had splashed the cash" it would have meant we would have broke ffp rules if we didn't go up.

Some would have taken that risk.

Buy Gyokeres for any price?

Lets have a poll and revisit this in a few years. I think we should go all out and spend all of the Spence money on this guy. Pretty sure indeedio agrees. So whats everyone else think. Lets watch his career from here. Will he go on to cost mega money and be one that got away?

Plus let's face it, Gyokeres had zero interest in signing for us or anyone in the Championship. It was all about the top tier for him.

Don't. :LOL:

I always said we should have broke the bank on him, as even if it didn't work out we would have still easily got our money back. I was saying that after the first game he played us, where he completely destroyed us, and we were meant to be decent.

Not sure whether we had the money or not, but it would have been one hell of an investment.
