Vipotnik - Top Scorer (Championship)

[MrSwerve]

£7-8m and he's offski, with Idah put in his place.

You know the drill.

To put your valuation in perspective, Leyton Orient want £6m for Dom Ballard

Indeed but this is little ole Swansea.

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!!

Absolutely. His finish against Birmingham was top quality. I hope Matos goes balls out to get the ball forward much more quickly because he might hit 30 with the correct service.

But your point is based on nothing? We've never routinely sold our players for pennies and played the 'woe is me, we're too small to compete' card. Piroe, Bony, Ayew, Sigurdsson, and Downes are all of our notable sales in recent years, and we got good value for all of them. The only players that come to mind as us having sold poorly were Nathan Wood (only because we turned down a bigger offer previously, he's shite), and maybe Gomis?

We managed £15m for Alfie Mawson!

I’d say Rodon was a little bit of an undersell too when you consider it was Spurs who were buying him.

Can’t account for the future of course but I think Downes sold for more, yet it’s Rodon who has more Premier League experience.

Proper striker type. Always been a good player and got messed about by previous coaches. Well done Vic Tomatos in playing to his admirable strengths.

Rodon was fairly valued at the time considering he'd never played above the Championship.

As of the time we sold him Rodon had never played in the Premier League

We should dig out some of the threads from last season when he was getting pelters from a few on here.

This boy is proof that some fans are too quick to write players off.

To be fair though, he was shite last season

To be fair he was 22 years old, had been made redundant, moved to another country where he knew nobody at very short notice, had no preseason to speak of and had to deal with a manager who's football philosophy dictated that putting balls into the box for him was a crime.

I agree with you but I still thought that he wasn’t that good. Like many others also I would argue.

Never really looked to give him his opportunity to get his hat trick last night. Went back to pissing about with it at the back , even though they had their warning with the Blackburn goal.

Looking at the reported fees for the last few Champ top scorers and high scoring players:

Akpom: 28 league goals, sold for €12.3m was 27 at the time. Last year of contract.

Szmodics: 27 league goals, sold for £9-11m was 26 at the time. Not the last year of his contract.

Piroe (not top scorer when he left us): 19 league goals, sold for around £10m, was 24 at the time. Last year of his contract.

Vipotnik will be 24 by the end of the season and if he ends it as top scorer, he’ll likely get 20+ goals at his current rate. The key for us is (unlike Piroe) Vipi will still have 2 years on his deal with us. Obviously profile plays into it and the amount of clubs that will be interested but we’ll be in a strong position to command a good 10m+ fee for Vipotnik in the summer.

I think you are overlooking his most important quality - he can smash the ball equally hard with both feet and can score from outside the area. That (if he hits 25 plus) should get us 15-20
Million.

Mental assessment - Haaland would have struggled under Williams and Sheehan
