Re: Gykores
Would have been a brilliant signing but I'm not sure how close we ever got to actually signing him. I think it probably went as far as an enquiry into what Coventry wanted, and we then turned our attention to Foster.

Think I remember reading that he turned down Everton and West Ham to join Sporting so I don’t think it was one that was ever really in our grasp tbh

Re: Gykores
Didn’t get away as such.
He’s a good player but still think he’ll struggle in the Prem where the defenders levels above either Championship or Premeira Liga standards.

Re: Gykores
Couldn’t afford him ? Fee or wages ? How much did we spend on Tresor and Ramsey ?
Re: Gykores
He might have made the difference!
Re: Gykores
If we had based our transfer choices on our weaker positions we may have bought him
Re: Gykores
I had a gut instinct that we were keen, but after the O'Hare stuff, it was hard to do anymore business with them in Jan
