15% of the profit Sporting make. There's an additional clause whereby it could be reduced to 10% of profit but that looks unlikely to be triggered. His new buy-out clause is 120m euros so after €18m fee and €2m agent fees that would potentially see Coventry get €15m.

I think its a demonstration of how important the right move is at the right time. Personally and I think a few other Coventry fans might agree on this I actually think Gus Hamer was our best/most important player that season but look at the career trajectories

Gyökeres reminds me of master chief from halo,, he’s not the outright best in any single category, but he is the most tenacious, as well as the most well rounded, being 2nd or 3rd best in every single category. its amazing to watch, really incredible how many different ways he can make a goal be scored. and i think what makes me like him even more and what makes him so difficult to defend and makes him so good, is that he is able to fluidly mix each category and different style of play together. if he’s using his strength he doesn’t resort to only doing that for that play. he can use speed, strength, finesse dribbling, direct dribbling, passing, and a long, short, quick fire, finesse, or power finish all in the same play,, and strings them together seamlessly. which is incredibly difficult and is both a testament to his physicality and technique, as well as his brain. its amazing to watch really. he can score in every way possible, and get an opportunity to score in every way. i don’t see a weakness in his game

As a Swede I am pleased to see we have some more real talents in the national team again, a shame that we probably won't be the team that utilises the likes of Gyökeres, Isak, Kulusevski etc for a while until we as a whole are better. But good for Viktor to be able to show everyone that he's actually a very good player finally.

His link up play with Havertz would be ridiculous. His awareness of movement and Havertz intelligence off the ball could be devastating

Weird one as a Brighton fan. Obviously we only really saw him in cup games and short stints off the bench but I can't really say he looked like anything special. Was one where you hoped he'd go out on loan and come back as a star. I think maybe if he was still here and was playing under De Zerbi it would be a different story but all of our striker struggled under Potter. Glad he's doing so well though.

I wouldn't say Sporting developed Gyokeres. He's kicked on massively there, sure, but he's turned into this player because Mark Robins and Adi Viveash developed him at Coventry. No-one cared about him before that.

Reminds me of Ivan Toney's trajectory. He joined Newcastle as an unheralded prospect, went out on loan for 3 seasons to a few league 1 / league 2 clubs but didn't really excel. Nobody was really that bothered when he got sold to Peterborough for a small fee. Then he goes to Brentford (in the Championship) gets promoted and continues to impress and the "big clubs" are sniffing.

Easy now, no swede is calling Gyökeres the new Ibrahimovic. The king is forever in a league of his own.

His finishing style is similar to Batistuta, pure power and brute force. If he ends up being half as clinical as Batigol then he will be a top top striker.

One thing thats not discuss as part of these gyokeres back story videos is just how good a job Robins and the coaching set up is with developing strikers, its happening again Ellis Simms and Haji Wright (at the time of writing two of the most infofm strikers in world football in 2024), was rhe case with Gyokeres and before him, Mcnulty.

They do. We just don’t notice. Dortmund with Håland, Monaco with Mbappe, Arsenal with Martinelli, City with Alvarez, Liverpool with Salah, Leicester with Vardy, Kante, Mahrez and many more. Gyokeres didn’t have any promising loan spell. His permanent move to Coventry was enough for Sporting, a big club, to snatch him but other big clubs were still not impressed or already spent very much and couldn’t buy him because of FFP. Now clubs know that Sporting will not sell until a hefty offer. He is a good striker in a market where strikers are not in abundance. That’s why clubs are willing to play.

he's just haaland with 'SKILLS'

I've never seen a single player single handedly win games for us at Coventry, probably ever... and he did just that on multiple occasions last season. At times, he just simply bullied a whole back 4/5 on his own. I was really sad when he left, but it was inevitable and I keep an eye on every Sporting game now because of him. I've watched a few of their games this season because of him. With that being said, it blows my mind that PL teams didn't take a chance on him last summer, ultimately he probably wanted a move to Portugal, but the fact no other teams apart from Everton and Brentford were remotely interested baffles me, when he would have only cost 20 million or so. Now he is easily a 100 million pound striker and teams will have to pay that. He is unbelievable, and his goalscoring record this season shows it. I hope wherever he ends up next, he does well at.

Its quite amazing how he managed to turn it around, he was pretty abysmal at Swansea and it looked like he was going to keep dropping down to find his level. I have to admit that despite his current form and time at Coventry I'm not sure he is at the level of a top 6 side just yet.

He reminds me of a right footed young Van Persie.

I hope that he moves to a mid table Premier League team, does well for a couple of seasons & then make the move into a top four team. That tradgetory would be best for his development, so Brighton, Newcastle, Tottenham, Villa, Man U. If he signs for a top four club, I don't see him getting the minutes, unless its for Liverpool under their new 2024-25 coaching staff. Arsenal could ease him into the setup, although shifting Jesus, Trossard or Havertz from the central role would be very disruptive, for the overall contentment of the personalities next season. Sign & loan would be the best solution for Viktor & Arteta, to develop a positive working relationship.

He suddenly became so good. I think he will go to a Big 6 epl club next season for 100m

And please do something with hughwizzy if possible because you 2 were made to work together

he's a nice player but that outside the boot pass can be made with a left foot as well and could end up being perfect. the reason he did that is because the ball was more to his right side, which made it more convenient to use his right foot rather than his left foot, imo

I seriously don’t think his game translate to the EPL as well as 100m player should. Good things about him are he’s a good finisher so if you get him chances he will score some, but all those clips of him creating goals on his own I don’t see working in the EPL. Most are him using his pace to beat defenders when he isn’t incredibly fast, those spaces just don’t exist in the EPL very often so definitely would see his solo goals drop quite a bit. I think you are signing a 15G striker, a slightly worse Diego Costa, and for a 100m it’s a quite a lot if that’s all you’re getting. In other leagues though like Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A I think he would tear apart like he has been

I hope it means other great players see their prices drop and Chelsea go into further FFP trouble and wind up ruining him (well, I don't wish that on Gyokeres but hey if it's all about the money I'm sure he'll be fine with it either way if he makes that choice).
