Vipotnik - Top Scorer (Championship)

[Swans Jack]

Vipotnik has a contract until 2028 with us. Realistically we need to get him on a new contract this summer.

Personally I don't see it. It would be some statement of intent if he stays but with him being the top scorer in the championship, he's gonna go and we will be looking for another striker to compete with Idah.

I did read that we have an international striker on our list from Northern Europe who we have been watching for a year.

It would be a shame to see VP go. What do we think?

People saying that he wouldn't hit 20 goals for the season a few weeks back

He only needs 7 more with 18 games to go to hit that milestone
And for half a season the service he got was the square root of fuck all
Added to that he isn't a penalty taker to pad his scoring stats

Considering his age and with two years still to run on his contract we could demand top dollar for him this summer but hopefully we aim to sell the project to him and tie him down to a new deal

If you said to me this time last year he would be performing like this I would of laughed. And I am one of those fans who supported him through the bad. For his age and now most likely hitting 20, he will go and has to be a large fee for me. Yes Piroe is far better player, but I cannot see why we cannot demand 15M or more.

Isn’t he on 15 in all competitions now?

Think it's 13 in championship and 15 all competitions. Ollie McBurnie is 3rd. Totally forgot about him with Hull. Im sure he will score against us on the weekend

Hold my hands up as in the last few games bar the FA cup match his work off the ball, heading and link play has also been excellent. Keep it Zan

 

[ABSwan]

and some think we'd be lucky to get 3 million for him of we sold him.

We don't half have some experts on here.

 

[bakajack]

With his age and assuming he keeps up his current scoring rate and breaks 20 league goals with games to spare and two years left on his contract we could easily demand 20 million if we had to sell

Massive congratz to vp

Onwards and upwards

Whilst I always thought he was harshly rated last season and that he'd be capable of more if used properly, he's exceeded even my expectations. Double last season's goal tally already and it's barely past mid-January.

Last night was almost the complete #9 performance. It's just a shame we couldn't give him the chances to complete his hat trick.

The big positive for me in the last two games are the type of goals he’s scored.

It was argued (and probably rightly so) that he was only scoring worldies and we weren’t creating things for him earlier in the season but the 3 recent goals are the type that all good centre forwards get over the course of a season if they’re getting 20+ goals. Long may it continue!!

It's been clear since he first came that there was a player in there. I think the basics were there to see that he had the tools to do a job and we are seeing it on a regular basis with him now starting regularly and being the main man.
A little bit of talk about keeping him this morning which my first thought was that the club are trying to build up a bit of interest in him. I would hope that it's being done in readiness for the summer window rather than this one.

I think we can all agree that if and when he does go, given his contract situation that we have to be looking close to and around 8M.

£8m for a 23 year old striker who is top scorer in the division and has 2 and a half years left on his contract? Put the crack pipe down Daps.

You're way off with £8m. Look at previous sales in the Championship of young goalscorers and that can be a starting point

Latte Lath had scored 27 in a season and a half for Boro when they sold him to the MLS for $22m last year. He was 26, too
