Giorgos Giakoumakis

Who the * is accepting that bid, get this tae *. Worth far more than that to us to keep. If we sell him without a replacement in the door as well then we’re going backwards.

 

In terms of a replacement, Ladislav Almasi looks a decent fit and worth the chance given the price we could likely get him for. Still young, decent goal scoring record, offers the same physical threat and pacier than GG.

 

Sadly, he got injured about a week ago. 6 weeks he'll be out, according to reports. Was my second pick after Jo, as well.

 

Give him a bumper wage and let him go in the summer if he wants to.

 

Ange has been raiding the j league for buttons. Maybe a goodwill gesture before he dips in again

 

Will wait and see what the real price is, surely if the interest from the likes of Sampdoria in Serie A was real then they would have stumped up €4m to take him. It wasn’t that long ago it was reported that the deal
Was worth up to £8m.

Romano hasn’t been very accurate with our stuff to date.

 

I can't see us parting with him for that fee ..were to tight for that.

 

Ah, that is a shame - didn't even see that.

In terms of other potential targets I've seen before;

Phillip Tietz at SV Darmstadt is another option, likely more expensive though. He's netted 6 times in 17 games for Darmstadt this season, possesses the same physical attributes and proven goalscorer - only 25.

Tomas Chory of Viktoria Plzen, another with all the physical attributes and has hit 9 in 16 appearances for Plzen this season. Again, likely available for a realistic price and only 27.

Obviously, a replacement striker doesn't have to have those physical attributes - but Giakoumakis offered us a different style of striker in games when we needed that and I think a replacement for him should be in the same mold.

 

Not a chance it’s that price

 

the * fee if true is an absolute joke and board-line mismanagement.

If this is the case I’m fuming.

 

Will wait and see because Romano hasn't exactly been spot on recently about us

 

If that is the price, this is up there with the daftest transfers we have done. Making basically no profit whilst still having to find a replacement. Give him the wage he wants and it will save having to spend millions on a replacement. Makes no sense whatsoever.

 

Sad to see him go, a natural penalty box striker. The actual fee will eventually come out and I hope it’s significantly higher than being quoted at present. He’s in his prime and his record in 2 different leagues is brilliant. I think we will regret him leaving but if he’s adamant he’s going, there’s not much we can do because it appears it’s about game time as well as the wage.

 

We better. Otherwise we are one injury to Kyogo from a disaster. Even if we do have a replacement, if Kyogo got injured, we better hope the boy hits the ground running. Madness if we let Giakoumakis go just now.

 

Proven goal scorer….genuine option b for us……changes games.

If that fee is correct and it’s no contract clause piece then it’s completely illogical.

 

3.5 million pounds, let that sink in, for the leagues top goal scorer last season the previous season in Holland and the quality as well.

If this is the correct fee reported then someone needs to ask the question why? He still has years on a deal, I’m sure he would have stayed on an improved deal on par with Mooy and others and he is * worth it.

I honestly don’t get why we are selling at this price, we don’t need the money he is at the very least a 6/8 million pound player.

just to add getting a replacement if his quality for that amount will be a massive * challenge, don’t get why we don’t give him the money and reassess at the end of the season.

* raging about this.

 

This is all just really strange
It’s such a gamble buying a striker. Even one with a good record can end up being a flop

GG seems to be perfect, big strong finds the net, fans love him players seem to love him
Lots of time left on the contract
I just can’t see a manager-played fall out as Ang seems such a good man manager

there’s no doubt he’s justified a pay increase. And there’s plenty of hand time for him
Koyogo gets injured and we are screwed
