probably good news for us as he’s likely to be sold now

CH rated VG above Connolly and was due to step up to the first team the following season. Obviously never happened as CH got the tin tack. He called it right though.
That’s if he only has one suitor. There may well be a bidding war.

He’ll be sold now for sure. Think we have a 30% sell on clause ? So a £25m sale price will generate us a nice £7.5m profit.
He only played him 3 times, in the FA & EFL cups ! Can’t have rated him that much. Or maybe that’s why he got sacked.
Either way I’m not that convinced by anywhere near the price tags being quoted
I would imagine whichever of the three potential dropping clubs tomorrow survives will be in for him, maybe the likes of Wolves and the promoted clubs too

I'm still not convinced he's a genuine PL level player. he might get a newly promoted club like Luton or Sheff Utd taking a punt, but while hes a decent enough championship striker, I dont see him becoming another Ivan Toney.
I wouldn’t bet on that

Two Ivan Toney/betting-related jokes in succession – what are the odds of that?
So what is the price for a top scoring striker in The Championship? Maybe about what we paid for Maupay, I guess - so just where are these price tags being quoted so wide of the mark?
I agree. The few times he played for us he looked absolutely awful, like he made Aaron Connolly look like Mbappe

I wish him well but top strikers from the championship rarely replicate their ability in the prem. You simply don't get the number of chances. Murray for example was an incredibly efficient striker at that level but only managed 37 goals in 148 Premier league appearances.
1 in 4. That's nearly 10 over a full season - I can imagine several clubs in the lower reaches of the PL being quite interested in a 10 goal a season forward.

Saw a video on YouTube suggesting he might be the solution for Man Utd!!

wow, suggesting Glenn wasn't a success in the Premier League is pretty wild, he kept us at the top table.
That's not true at all.
The few matches he played were mostly if not all were under CH
CH himself was always or the opinion that Gyokeres was more likely to step up permanently into the first team set up despite a lot of pressure around him for him to play Connolly because of the abundance of goals that Connolly was scoring in the Youth set up.
CH himself always thought that Gyokeres had the makings of a decent prospect. An opinion he never shared about Connolly.
