Albion signing Gilchrist permanently for £1.2m. Good signing.

I doubt the price for us for O’Hare would be £2m. Probably only that cheap as he’s supposedly going abroad.

Wolves looking at Hackney. Potentially a honking end of the window for Boro.

Bid £20m + £10m add ons apparetly

Very decent offer to be fair. Hard at this stage to replace him and Azaz though with a few days to go.

Boro having Wolves pants down at that price, never seen him any good against us tbh.
Even got sent off last year up there.
Also Hamer must be on someone betters radar !

He's a good player, even if he played badly against us.

Not rated by me buts its all about opinions, he couldn’t lace Rudoni’s boots!

Completely anecdotal but it feels like a lot of good players don’t play well against us and a lot of shit players have their best game of the season. Ends up with our fans massively over-rating players like Josh Bowler based off one performance 4 years ago etc.

Completely different type of player

COH for 2m would be a class squad player and would be great for the dressing room

Yeah, but I imagine his salary expectations now would be significantly higher, and probably at a point that would not work for us. Ie. We would never make him our highest earner, and if we did dressing room harmony could shatter.

So how much should we be spending on bench players?

If you want better options off the bench than Lati, Collins, Allen, et al, then £2m for an O'Hare isnt a bad deal. Let's face it, we've got 1 of the better starting 11s in the league. Its as and when a player gets injured we start to look threadbare. £2m for proven cover for Rudoni is a steal. If it wasn't O'Hare, let's take that name out of the equation, and we could buy a proven, creative midfielder at this level, that scores and assists regularly, for £2m as cover for Rudoni, there isnt a single person on this forum would say its bad business.

I think O Hares current wage demands would be what breaks the bank for us.

Would it though? We've dropped £654k a week wage by losing Binks. Surely there's a little bit extra in the wage kitty now?

Makes you wonder what Rudi is worth then.

Similar price I'd say

Also talk of them selling O'Hare for £2m to Legia Warsaw

Sheff Utd’s Eastern European AI machine still hard at work then.

I don't think he's anything special and certainly no better than Josh Eccles!

I agree, I wouldn’t want him. Just saying his wages would make any deal unlikely.

We need to look forward and not backwards, and therefore I wouldn’t want us spunking a load of cash on Hamer either, even though I absolutely loved him before.

Not that’s realistic anyway but Hamer would instantly make us a better team
