Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (11 Viewers)

[Captain Dart]

Sheaf is a player who I guess looks great in “stat” terms.

Loads of passes completed - great %age passes successful etc.

And in reality, bottled loads of chances to shoot, passed backwards / sidewards instead, took easy passes often, often ran into trouble, had a frequent dither moment and dispossessed.

Has quality but little drive and self-belief.

In his purple patch about 3 years ago he was breaking up opposition play most effectively, popping up wherever danger threatened but he seems to have lost much of that effectiveness when he got injured the first time and has never quite regained that form.

Goals in the league:

In the last 4 games: Torp - 4
In the last 5 seasons: Sheaf - 7

Cucks on SBT: Drop Torp and play Sheaf
Wrexham: Hold my beer

I thought Rossrio got injured and not sold. Knee injury finishing him iI think???

Wasn’t he dabbling with another player’s wife?

 

[Samueljames1991]

To everyone going on about selling depth

It's not really depth if they're injured half the season.

if he’s injured half the season that’s 23 games.

do you expect Allen will play a part in 23 games this year then?

 

[Matt smith]

another season of allen coming off the bench

Yeah it’s definitely panic stations now

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Don't about you lads but I've ready for deadline day tomorrow

 

[Kingokings204]

Not sure if just me but sheaf has never cut the mustard for me. When Eccles and Allen are around you then you will look better and he is a decent footballer overall but another we’ve gone past if we want to progress. The fact he never plays just makes it a no brainer.

been a good servant to the club but the last 12 months or so has been painful to watch him so 6.5m and run.

 

[Samueljames1991]

No but Eccles for example is solid depth.

We need depth at 8/10 more I think

eccles isn’t promotion depth

 

[Samueljames1991]

eccles isn’t promotion depth

So you would keep sheaf who's injured most the season and not take a very decent offer for him?

 

[The Philosopher]

As an aside, what has Doug received for the SISU squad so far?

Gyok 24m
Hamer 15m
Sheaf 6.5m
Palmer 1.5m
Godden?

Thick end of £50m

If he’s got hold of the club for less than that he’s done well.

If SISU had said at the time “the squad is worth over £50m” I think we would have all (to quote others) said:
“Clueless”
“Embarrassing”

Poor Joy. Dollar short and a day late.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Am I Right in thinking Ben sheaf’s last appearance for us would have been the 5 minutes from the bench against hull?

 

[Samueljames1991]

Yep and went off injured again

 

[Ccfcisparks]

it’s a good offer, but it’s a big risk given we have less than 24 hours left.

i’ve been told by a fair few on here we are constantly writing up lists of new targets to replace existing squad members so i have no doubt a quality signing will be in to replacr

Tbf, Torp is an AM, Sheaf is a DM much like Grimes who hasn't scored a single goal in 4 league appearances the lazy slacker!

Maybe its Grimes we should sell

Just wait till Frank works his magic on him!

[TomRad85]

Torp is already worth 8 figures if Sheaf is 6.5 btw.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

anyway the important question, is he a clap, standing ovation or boo when he comes to take a corner at the CBS?

 

[David O'Day]

that's not fair, he lasted 6 minutes

 

[The Philosopher]

Probably better off ducking.

 

[Speedie's Head]

He'll be crocked

Mate the job of sheaf isn’t to score goals, he’s a defensive midfielder

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

still Surprised we’ve left it until the final day to get players in, must have at least 2 lined up ?

Do you think they’ve been trying or just sitting on their hands

 

[David O'Day]

Tbf, Torp is an AM, Sheaf is a DM much like Grimes who hasn't scored a single goal in 4 league appearances the lazy slacker!

Maybe its Grimes we should sell

But Sheaf had been playing instead of Torp

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

If we secured Stamenic we would have sold Sheaf last summer.

 

[David O'Day]

If we secured Stamenic we would have sold Sheaf last summer.

If we'd have signed him I don't think we would of brought Grimes in the Jan window.

Sliding doors and all that.

 

[PVA]

Torp is already worth 8 figures if Sheaf is 6.5 btw.

No way, he needs a good full season first before he goes for anything like that.

He's been immense these first 4 games, but that's all it is - 4 games.

 

[Mercian In Anglia]

anyway the important question, is he a clap, standing ovation or boo when he comes to take a corner at the CBS?

Singer's Corner point that the ball's not properly in the D. Ref blows to go and check just as Sheaf is about to take it. Sheaf stops mid swing and his hamstring pings.

 

[CCFCSteve]

He signed one last week is what I'm told. Hopefully true as it means we can squeeze another couple of million out of the taffs

4D chess by king

eccles isn’t promotion depth

Eccles coming off the bench and filling in is definitely at that level. He’ll always do a job for the team and I’m hoping that time with Lampard/coaches he’ll step up even more

 

[PVA]

2025 and we're still relying on Jamie Allen
