Uphill Bedford 23 Jun 23 1.45pm
Says in today's Times that West Ham (who else) are making enquiries. Either that's good or bad. They did well when they got Bowen but not so well with several other forwards who they are now trying to off-load. If he signs for them we will soon have an idea if it is good business and how quickly he adapts to the PL. I still maintain if we seek a new Glen Murray he is what we need. Persisting with Mateta and Edouard will be an unlikely triumph of hope over experience. £20 million is a good price for a young, proven international striker in this day and age.

I agree with you there Uphill- Especially when the ridiculous figure being touted for Balogan is north of £30 million! I think Gyokores is exactly what we’ve been missing. His hold up play and general footballing intelligence is “Dougie esque” in my view and often overshadowed by his impressive goals/assists figures. I’d love it if we signed him!

I’d love it if we signed him! They're going to have loadsa money after selling Rice, but surely their first priority is replacing him, although they do have Skipp going in the other direction? They do need fresh young talent across the pitch . I just hope they don't rain on Palace's parade, again. Please Palace put a bid in quick for Gyokeres or someone like him!

If Gyokores is good enough for Sporting Lisbon, you might have thought he was good enough for Palace. But who needs a striker when we've got Jordan Ayew?

Just wondering if there is a problem with Sporting Lisbon as the proposed move seems to have dragged on. Maybe there is still hope for us? Or maybe we can't afford £20 million? I can't think of a better value striker currently available.

We won’t sign him. As far as I can tell we don’t sign proper strikers any more. We’re more likely to sign Andre Ayew. Edited by Helmet46 (11 Jul 2023 6.14am)

Plenty of doubters on Gyokores, it would seem , not just Palace . That is unless he insisted on going abroad, seem to remember him letting it be known Coventry knew where he wanted to go, if so he prefers Portugal.

Just to put this thread to bed, he's signed for Sporting Lisbon . . . [Link] This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

A lost opportunity. Very much hope that Dougie has got another ace up his sleeve because, by golly, we need to replace Mateta and Edouard and find a striker who lives up to the name.

I agree but I wonder whether we should be looking at his playing partner at Coventry, Hamer as cover for Olise. Damn good player who scores quite a few goals.

I seem to remember that Dazza said it was intended to sign a striker, but of course couldn't say who..The window goes on until 31st August so I think it's pretty essential one dos by then?

If by that you mean someone whose really good and really cheap I hope so as well. However until I see evidence to the contrary Dougie is just the little kid with his face pressed up to the window of the toy shop. One more point
