He recently scored his first away league goal for an astonishing amount of games.
Can anyone recall how many as it was a shocking stat.
I think this is a decent deal for both clubs and I am guessing we may be getting a loan striker in to cover or another unknown potential gem perhaps.
LD seems like a good bloke and tries hard but it is unlikely we will miss his goals. |
It was his first away goal since 10th April 2023
His last away goal before that was october 2021 |  | | |

So the consensus for some on here now is that the club should offload our highest earners instead of selling players to pay for the incoming players and meet FFP?
Would expect Cooke, Field, Colback, JCS are on same if not more than Dykes. |
only if they are not playing and to be honest if we got bids in for those players would probably go as well | | | |

He scored six goals in 41 league appearances last season (30+ starts), and one of those was a penalty. He didn't score once between January and April. One assist all season.
In the season before, he didn't score at all between November and April. Eight goals in total.
In 21/22, he only scored two goals between October and May - and they were in the same game. Eight goals in total.
In the last two seasons we've escaped relegation by the skin of our teeth and Lyndon Dykes has contributed 14 goals from across 80 games, with around three assists.
I don't think Cifuentes is a particularly radical thinker in deciding this is not the guy that will change that sequence for him, aged 29, nor for trying different players up top. The team were malfunctioning just as badly with him in the team. |
Dykes has never been a prolific goalscorer as was seen from his time in Scottish football where he played on the wing and then as a target man for the 2nd striker,
Warburton likely bought him in the latter role with option of Macauley Bonne as a 2nd striker or with Willock & Chair as the 10s,
Dykes wasn't bought on the basis he would be the teams primary goalscorer (Warburtons not stupid)
Shame we won't see him play with Dembele & Saito as we saw with Saito's head up early pass v Sheff Utd, Dykes was screaming for the early pass and got it,
Unfortunately last season was relying on Chair playing an early ball & Smyth playing an accurate cross, and both are collectors items,
Could be throwing the baby out with the bathwater in selling now, hard one to call. | | | |

Dare I raise the post on page 2 of this very thread that was the subject of a bit of agro?
Probably not, but £1m feels like cutting him loose to me.
Even if he's agitating for a move (100% speculation on my part) it should be a deal that's good for us. |

To those who say he's on a high wage, can you say where you get this information from or if it's a guess? I just don't think that sort of information is available, including and particularly from those websites that claim to have a list players wages. |  | | |

I don’t dislike him as much as most, as I think there could be a decent player in there, but this stat says it all, that is a dreadful record, over such a long period that there are simply no excuses. | | | |

daft price and stupid sale ,
celar nowhere the pce of the championship and from the games iver seen so far not ever sure he will ever get there
frey better on sat but come on its like watching your dear old dad have hi last run out for a sunday league side , if them two get us 10 goals ill be hugely supprised ,
dykes never had a run of goaldsas he never had a sun or regular decent balls into the box we finally it seems to have sorted that small problem out and we then decide to sell him , money ball at its best on this move , |
Well, Frey has already got us 2 goals in 4 games, so that leaves over 40 games (including cup) for the strikers to get us 8 goals. Already seen enough from Celar to know that he is is good at getting into goalscoring positions, just needs a bit of time to adjust. If I was a betting man, I'd put a fair bit of cash on those two getting us 10 goals. [Post edited 27 Aug 18:45]

Personally I'm also not in a hurry to discount Celar's 40 goals in 95 apps in the Swiss super League which, as far as I can tell, is not notably worse than the Championship. | | | |

I live in Switzerland and regularly go to Lausanne-Sport and Servette games now. Gotta say, it's not a great level!
Good atmosphere in the stadiums though, mind, and you can drink in your seats and the grub is actually nice [Post edited 27 Aug 18:47]

Poor old Birmingham - we've off-loaded them with a whole load of failures - Dozzell, Roberts, Sanderson, Laird and now the non-center forward center forward Dykes. Do they not do their homework and look at the stats for these players. | | | |

Always done the right thing for our club, coming back quickly from injury or pneumonia to help the cause,
Certainly never cleared out the free mini-bar in his box on his way to The PV, like someone who rode us for fools. | | | |

Think their head of methodology hails from South Africa Road.
It can be the only explanation for continually taking our cast offs.

I think this is good business for all parties.
Birmingham have a decent L1 striker for 1M that might help them get back up, we have some money for a striker who didn't score much at all for us and he will get to play more at a decent club.
Good luck Lyndon. |
If Dykes' value has somehow halved in his time with us, how is that 'good business' for us? He's played and scored for Scotland better/more than for us), is a seasoned Champ forward, and even though we know he's not the answer, I find it kind of embarrassing. | |

It’s good business for us because he was awful and we got some money for him. I would’ve happily taken two bags of crisps and a packets of polos for him. A striker who doesn’t score is just taking up space |  |

So, by that logic, we sell all our assets at half the price we pay for them (if they turn out to be not very good), and we should feel grateful that we're not having to give them away! Boll*cks to that, good sir! | |

2 m for dykes was insane. After the first games i saw him play i wrote here that there is nothing in that man to suggest he will come any good. And he hasnt. If we got 1m for him then good. More than i tought. Good riddance and dont let the door slam your back on your way out. That man is waste of hair dye, tattoo ink, time, money and space. As a football player that is.
