Gyokeres played for Coventry City. You’re surely not telling me we couldn’t have bought him instead of Maupay when we did?
Pretty sure if we'd signed a striker from Coventry in that window this place would have errupted lol

Based on him being one of the best hold up players in the league, perfect for some mid table styles. And also scoring 29 league goals across two seasons when he stayed fit.1) based on what is he a mid table striker?
2) what absolute rubbish, we've not long ago sold a winger who gets double figures every season, if the best we can get is a striker whos scored 10 goals in almost 3 years then good grief we are fcked
Exactly this, we couldn’t get the GyokeresGyokeres would not come to us - same with many 20 mil players or up and coming youths. Its not just a price, but finding players who want to come to us in our present predicament. We are in a very hard position attracting tallent, what are we seeking to them? And thats not Thelwell or Dyche fault its the boards.
Beto was the best we could get for 26mil - he looks OK probably need a string of games and set up to play to his strengths.
Did Dixie have two wingers that cant put a decent pass into the box or free kicks taken by his goalkeeper or corners that either dont get passed the first man or try and hit our centre half at the back post with 3 players round him as though the opposition haven't worked out our set pieces yet.Would Dixie Dean go 17 hours without a goal?

If he stays fit the rest of this season he will hit double figures again - therefore - solid mid table striker.
Richarlison: better than we can get, hence why he has gone.
Yes but our scouts should know better than clueless biffs on this forum.
In a Dyche squad - give me DCL over Gyokeres any dayGyokeres is being linked with £100m moves 6 months after moving for £20m, so I don’t buy into this idea that we couldn’t find anyone better and that Beto is the benchmark for a £26m player.
Riddled with injuries.Waffle again mate.
He isn't one of the best hold up strikers in the league at all, he does what most big strong fellers do and protect the ball well at times, and get over the fact he had a good season 4 years ago, what's he done since? What's he done since covid that's been anything remotely like s good player? The odd good game every 10 games?
And yes we sold Richarlison,, but we had him for 4/5 years so to do we can't ever expect that again is comical, doesn't help when your board is clueless like but there are teams around us who have players who get double figures, stop accepting rubbish
Yes, exactly what im telling you. We were interested in him and Gyokeres would not come to us and is now at Sporting Lisbon. Not sure what happened with his Coventry move in 2021 perhaps it was the state of the club as i suggested? What young ambitious talent wants to come to us in our present predicament? No-one we have to pay over odds for Maupay etc.Gyokeres played for Coventry City. You’re surely not telling me we couldn’t have bought him instead of Maupay when we did?
i dont think you can fairly judge this on someone whos yet to have a consecutive run of starts.BUT
He's miles and miles and miles ahead of Beto so it's no wonder Dyche would rather have a non scoring Dom in the team rather than "I can't control a ball or don't know where I'm supposed to be" Beto. It's a no brainer unfortunately.

Maybe we could have got Gyokeres by paying inflated wages and transfer fee so that that particular merry go round could continue....
i imagine anyway if he had come to us, he would struggle like all our strikers seem to and some would be moaning that hes crap and we should have signed some other striker that looks half decent at a championship club.
Everyone was saying he was a bellend last week for missing a penalty....Onana did.
