    There has to be a striker or two ready to come in..

    No chance we'd just let him go and still be negotiating deals for the next couple weeks chancing it..

    It's abundantly clear he's desperate to go.

    It’s just so strange. Sell him for a reported 3.5. Who can we buy with that who won’t be a gamble
    There has to be a compromise deal to be made to keep him

    would love to see him get a good run in the team. I always feel more confident we are going to score when he’s on the pitch

    Would love to know the stats of how many goals we score when he’s on the pitch compared to Kyogo
    Love Kyogo, but always feel we are more dangerous when GG is on
    Even if he’s not the goal scorer he’s causing chaos and panic
    We have won so many games late this season and that’s has to be when he’s come on

    will be a MASSIVE loss

    Can't believe people were actually worried that Lawwell was back running the club when, if he actually was, we'd be getting about 3x this fee for big GG :fear:

    I think 17k it fair if theres are favourable goal bonuses or wage rises per year of thr contract.
    His predicament is that Ange seems to be a huge fan of Kyogo and that his ask (if true) is too high.
    I think that all parties lose in this situation from a playing perspective.
    Such a big character will be a loss.

    As above, £4-5m seems nothing for an international striker with a 1 in 2 record for us, despite only ever having a run of games when Kyogo was injured.

    Got to trust Ange on this one if he's judged that it would be more detrimental to have him hanging about but I do hope we have proper replacement(s) lined up.

    Pitiful amount for a striker of his calibre. We must desperate to get shot so we can free funds for his replacement. Or he's stinking the place out.

    Poor fee if the one that’s being reported is true. But at 28 second choice striker in Scotland with not much game time this season and only half a season last year then maybe it’s all anyone would offer.

    You would hope so. Big gamble getting rid before we have somebody signed on the dotted line though. What’s worrying if we do, is that it’s not something I’d associate with Ange. Especially the way he has spoken about this sort of thing previously. I know who it is like though :87:

    I think it's very weird in everything with this transfer would have rather he went in summer aswell tbh.







    However since all this news broke just before Christmas we haven't been playing great and still winning maybe something in the background

    We surely have someone lined up to come in. No chance we let him go at that price without a genuine replacement.

    Surprised a championship team making a push for the PL hasn’t come in for him.

    Either that, or Ange deems we can carry the 9 points till the end.

    If he goes tomorrow or Wednesday and we hear nothing of a new player by the end of the week....then his thread will be busy :giggle1:

    I'm sure we will though..
