I still have some reservations about Gyorkeres. I don't think he's going to be banging in goals like Haaland or Isak (hopefully I'm wrong!). But I think he'll do okay. Even at 27, he seems like a big if a rough diamond. Hopefully the coaching team can polish him up a bit more. Either way, it will certainly be good to have a more direct striker option who attacks the balls instead of more possibly finding pockets to receive a pass.

I think he’s more like a condom stuffed with walnuts!

It appears he knows where the net is 👍

He's a plan B, but if he can flourish, that plan B will become our plan A.

"striker's agent waives fee to help facilitate move"

That's how you know this isn't true.

Ok, maybe he's getting paid some other way, but there's no way that an agent is just going to pass on €3-6 million.

Hearing it's 10 million€. He's forgoing the money from Sporting, but will no doubt receive bigger monthly payments from Gyökeres for which I'm pretty sure we're paying extra in wages.

And this is coming via Ornstein, so I'm inclined to believe it's more true than not.
