Would rather us make a concerted effort to sign this guy,looks better than Obafemi.

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2023 7:47 pm**

he was excellent first half

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2023 7:47 pm**

It looked to me like he didn't want to score against us!

Perhaps he knows something we don't!

He is, but that’s why he’ll cost three or four times as much.

Scared Beyer half to death in parts and possibly the reason we took Cork off.

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2023 7:53 pm**

Yes he’s just what we need.Strong lad, good feet and pace.

So because he scared Beyer to death VK took Cork off? Yes?

Premier League striker that lad.

We’ll get him in the summer.

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2023 7:58 pm**

Looked very good 1st half

Beyer/Taylor dealt with him really effectively 2nd half (bar the back pass)

But yeah, would really suit us

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2023 8:00 pm**

I thought he was brilliant. He ran Taylor particularly ragged all afternoon

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2023 8:01 pm**

Best striker I’ve seen in this league all season. Has it all. Was doing the runs behind, coming short, working the channels, was strong. Very very good footballer there.

They’re right back too. Surely worth a look at

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2023 8:02 pm**

Get him signed now

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2023 8:03 pm**

I agree that we should push the boat out for him!!

Would be a good investment for next year!!!

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2023 8:06 pm**

Poor man’s Weghorst…

Apart from the bachpass, when in fact he realky shoukd have scored, I thought in the second half when our new CH line uo got used to each other Beyer played him very well.

Haha that reads really badly. I meant his runs inside ( 1st half only) had Beyer looking scared a couple of times Cork came across to cover and had he mistimed his challenge he would have been sent off so this was possibly the reason for the change.

FWIW I think Beyer got to grips with him in the 2nd and was superb.

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2023 8:18 pm**

He looks a very good championship centre forward. Not convinced he's a PL player and don't think he's worth the money quoted but he'd probably do very well in our team.

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2023 8:19 pm**

Played well first half faded in the 2nd after he messed up the opening we gifted him. Interesting to see if we try again for him towards the end of the month think he’d rather be playing for us over Coventry.

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2023 8:30 pm**

See Nicklas Bendtner and that other Scandinavian throw around that even we had on loan, his name escapes me...from City I think?? Someone help me

I agreed with this,I was watching the match and thought there would be a thread on this.He had a good game I don’t think he’s out special.Not worth 20m which is being quoted.

John Guidetti. And he looked a much much better player than him.

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2023 8:37 pm**

He was direct..liked to run at defenders and his hold up play and touch was excellent. Messed up his one big chance.

Just the type of striker we need I think.

Time will tell but the similarities are striking, that chance he had, infront of The lord Vincent Kompany and the league leaders, he was clueless, where was ge going? Was it Brownhill that eventually got back (from midfield) to make the challenge?

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2023 8:47 pm**

As a quick comparison.
Two years ago, Vydra was quicker, had better close control and would have got a shot off when he didn’t.

Not very impressed to be fair.

Good in the championship, but prem league, not for me.

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2023 8:53 pm**

He’s going to be a good Premier League player before long. Tired along with the whole of their team but frightened us to death for first 45 minutes. Imagine him in our side, with our possession and chances.

No chance for me. Gyokeres completes this team. He will be a top level striker for a lot of years to come. No disrespect intended to Vydra intended. More praise for Gyokeres.

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2023 9:04 pm**

Me too. Vyds all the way. Should’ve absolutely buried us today. Didn’t. Awful display of finishing.

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2023 9:10 pm**

Looks a good striker, not sure he’s worth the 20m Coventry want for him. Not convinced he would get double figures in the prem.

25 this summer so should be reaching his peak in the next few seasons.

Agree I think his average finishing ability would come unstuck in the Prem with better keepers. 10-15m I’d be keen but nothing over that. Surely better options.

His price keeps going up. Earlier this afternoon it was £12m, then it was £15 and now it's £20m.

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2023 9:13 pm**

Best centre forward I've seen this season. His strength and speed worried us in the first half. Faded after he messed up in the second half and it was noticeable that as the game wore on he became more and more isolated as his support obviously tired.

Not really it’s been reported for the last 9 months that Coventry want 20m for him.

I agree, for a lad that always looks so heavily involved his goal returns has always been just ok.

I agree if it was 10-15m mark you would take the risk.

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2023 9:16 pm**

He looked very good first half. Suspect his price tag will be well beyond our means this window unfortunately. For context we'd be looking at 4-5 times more than we're likely to need to pay for Obafemi.

It was widely reported at £12 million during the summer when clubs such as Fulham were sniffing around. This was 6 months ago.

This was May last year from Coventrys own paper.

He made one in the first half to his left, which was a curling shot towards the top corner from outside the penalty area - wasn't Gyokeres, however.

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2023 9:50 pm**

Looked a very good forward today. Good strength, pace, strong running, decent touch, physical. Very impressed.

I’d be trying to strike a deal if it was even remotely possible.

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2023 9:52 pm**

Imagine us in the Prem but with our new style and Kompany pulling power.

Then imagine what striker we could get for £15m. I reckon a better one than we have signed in the last decade. Better than Gyokeres for that money. He was very good but we can do better.

Good strikers will want good wages though and unlike any other position in the team will be very difficult to get one that's gone under the radar.

Scoring goals tends to get you noticed and any player scoring at a good level will probably cost more than 15m in today's market.

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2023 11:11 pm**

I thought Beyer had him pretty much under control all afternoon; he never got a shot away
That he didn’t even manage a goalward poke from the 3 or 4 opportunities in his meander across the box after the back pass suggests he has a way to go before he will be comfortable in the Prem. Plus everything Coventry did going forward was about getting the ball to him, which he won’t get in the Prem.
His petulance with ref and teammates in the second half was reminiscent of Bendtner.
It’s a no from me.

Posted: **Sat Jan 14, 2023 11:46 pm**

Be surprised if we can even dream about buying him during this January Windows. Maybe if we can get promoted and with money raised from the Weghorst circus. But just a reminder, we are 16 points clear of 3rd place and have scored 53 goals, that is more than anyone else in the four divisions, so we are in no need to find £15million now.

Vydra would have scored plenty of goals in the Premier League under VK but Dyche has a weak spot for managing creative players. Its no surprise he ended up falling out with Ings, couldn't get a tune out of Stanislas and ruined McNeill.

On the flip slide boy could he get players organised, able to defend and work their socks off

Posted: **Sun Jan 15, 2023 12:02 am**

Coventry fans would be happy to offload him - decent player but doesn’t take his chances
