Dykes off? 10:13 - Jun 8 with 31894 views

Can't see this has been posted on here anywhere:

Millwall have made a bid which could rise to £2m for QPR striker Lyndon Dykes.

Other Championship clubs are also interested.

Not in any way a like-for-like replacement, but Burnley are pressing hard to take Zian Flemming off of Millwall, £10 million or so. Would certainly mean Millwall have money in the bank if they want to come back and offer for Dykes. So on that basis, would want a good fee from them

Barry Ferguson, in the Daily Record, on the subject of Dykes:

Rangers may have missed the boat where bringing Billy Gilmour back to Ibrox this summer is concerned. But I genuinely hope they don’t make the same mistake with his Scotland team-mate Lyndon Dykes.

But the more I watch our national team go from strength to strength under Steve Clarke, the more certain I am that Dykes is a ready made Rangers No.9. Put it this way, if I was Michael Beale I’d be all over the big man right now. They’ve already worked together at QPR so the manager knows what he’d be getting if he did bring the Aussie back over the border.

I know there will be some fans rolling their eyes at the thought of it but I don’t care what anyone else says, he’d be an absolute sensation in a Rangers shirt. I remember thinking the same thing when he was at LIvingston and the higher up he goes in the game, the better he’s becoming.

He’s not just a big throw back of a centre forward, although there is no doubt his physicality is one of his biggest strengths. He ruffles defenders up, he wins everything in the air, he knows where the back of the net is and he works his backside off.

But technically, he’s a lot better than most people give him credit for. He can take the ball down and bring others into play — which is exactly the job Alfredo Morelos did for the team when he was fit and looking interested.

So, yes, if I was Beale I wouldn’t think twice because it would be a no risk signing and Dykes would guarantee him 20 goals a season as well as everything else he would bring. There’s a lot of talk of him being linked with Championship clubs like Millwall now he’s going into the final year of his contract at Loftus Road.

For something like £2million? It’s an absolute no brainer for my old team.

Be interesting if that did came to pass because Beale did not rate him at all when he got here and spent much of last summer angling for a way/person to replace him.

On the other hand Kieffer Moore ended up in the PL and Dykes about that level.

Funny you should mention Moore because he was our first choice when we bought Dykes, and we thought we had him out of the wreckage at Wigan. It was one of those where we had the transfer piece written up and rerady to go, was travelling down for medical, £1m, great deal. Last minute Cardiff came in with an offer that blew ours out of the water.

Didn't Beale also say he wouldn't come in for any of our players?

Was it More for Moore?

I thought it was the same money (as why pay more?) and Moore decided he wanted Cardiff as it would help his international career, which it did as he started playing for Wales much more often soon after.

It was all about playing for Wales and playing for Cardiff obviously helped that,

And your daft enough to believe anything Beale says?
