Rav did alright and that was a large sum at the time.Baffled given our history that anyone would want to spunk large amounts of cash on a striker. It never has worked and it never will work.

I think we have done a lot worse over the years than Mikkel Forssel!
No he never he cost Brentford 10 million we looked at it but we were put off by the price.I'm not sure what your point is. Ivan Toney cost a third of Britt assombalongas transfer fee.
To be fair Coventry think they can get 25m for him, and their fans don't want him to go, even though it could easily fund a promotion push.A single performance at the Riverside can sway an opinion a long way in one direction or the other.
Gyokores did play well at the Riverside and won a lot of fans as a result.
Conversely, Ivan Toney had a forgetable game in the cup a few years back, leading to plenty of "please not him" based on that performance when he was linked. That was clearly wrong.
I also remember Mikkel Forsell being championed on here on the basis of that crazy match vs Birmingham, but he never really amounted to much.
Is the Gyokores assessment accurate? I wouldn't spend big money based on it. Nor would I on his figures last season; the previous season he scored 3 in 30.
I'd have to have watched him live a lot more to have a strong conviction that he's worth big money.
We’re not going to get Gyokeres with a cheque for £10m even with add ons. Be realistic, we’d be up in arms if we sold our star striker who’d just knocked in 17 goals an been player of the season to another rival for that relatively low figureSometimes you have to take a punt. Gyokeres looks to be on an upward spiral. If we can get him for a decent fee now (say 8 -10M) plus add-ons, he could be worth a lot more this time next year and well out of our reach. We haven't had a strong goal scoring forward for a very long time (probably Ian Baird), and will take a lot of pressure off the rest of the side. A big yes from me!!!
Like Bamford????We’re not going to get Gyokeres with a cheque for £10m even with add ons. Be realistic, we’d be up in arms if we sold our star striker who’d just knocked in 17 goals an been player of the season to another rival for that relatively low figure
Totally different situation - he wasn’t Chelsea’s star striker, in fact he couldn’t even get in their teamLike Bamford????
YeahWe’re not going to get Gyokeres with a cheque for £10m even with add ons. Be realistic, we’d be up in arms if we sold our star striker who’d just knocked in 17 goals an been player of the season to another rival for that relatively low figure
£10m plus add ons is not a reletively low figure. Its a huge sum for a transfer between two championship clubs. Unless a premiership club are interested in Gyokeres then I very much doubt there'll be a better offer than that placed for him.We’re not going to get Gyokeres with a cheque for £10m even with add ons.

That Viduka chap wasn't too shabby to be fairSometimes you have to take a punt. Gyokeres looks to be on an upward spiral.

I agree. I like what I saw at the Riverside but I have seen players have a fantastic season and struggle to repeat it. Nothing is guaranteed in a transfer.£10m plus add ons is not a reletively low figure. Its a huge sum for a transfer between two championship clubs.
