Completely agree with the first half, not sure if O’Hare needs to earn his place but I definitely think we need to roll the dice when it comes to transfers. We rolled it on our European signings last year and it paid off massively, can’t see a reason why we shouldn’t do it again. Keep O’Hare and add depth and more starting quality.

If we recruit properly we will get upgrades on the players we have hence why players will need to earn their place, including COH. There is no point in doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

We rolled the dice under Ron Atkinson and spent over 20 years in the wilderness. We can't confine our transfer dealings to expensive foreign players on four year contracts.

Yet we bought Haji, Saka, Milan and Torp and they’ve been brilliant. To me it makes absolutely no sense to regress back to the old days of getting cast-offs from other championship teams on a free.

Nearly all of our championship or league 1 signings have been suspect at times, compared to our European signings from last season it’s night and day.

Torp has hardly been brilliant, yes hes looked promising but saying brilliant is just pure hyperbole.

Alright Torp hasn’t been amazing but he hasn’t started many games, the other European signings have been brilliant for us. MVE has probably doubled in value and has genuine threat/pace. It’s mad to think people don’t want more of that tbh.

We'd at least make our money back on him though meaning that signing him wasn't a risk but an investment.

I think it’s a fair call.

if you think Sheaf is worth £15m+ as many of our fans do then you have to believe that Torp is worth at least a qtr of that.

When he first got into the team he was our best midfielder every week. His form did tail off but there were enough examples of his quality to see that the fee paid looks well invested.

This O’Hare chap , sounds like a player that would fit in very nicely. Sign him I say and give him a run out next Season to see how he fairs

Hadn't torp just finished an entire season before coming to us?

He looked absolutely shagged in the latter games of the season.

Yep agreed would be brilliant and the depth in midfield then would be enough and allow us to focus on other areas.

First post he has made since 2011. Or just logged into an old alt account by mistake possibly. @PVA could be the prime suspect.

Whilst I'm sure teams at that level will be interested.... I find it hard to believe anything from Teamtalk.

Seems like agent talk to try and get offers in

All three clubs are almost certainly interested. Add Leicester also. Possibly also Villa.

Thats the advantage of being out of contract. COH can pick and choose.

But they may not be the clubs COH hoped would be interested

I’d jump at the chance to play for Villa if I was him. Not far from home, doesn’t really have to relocate, potentially playing champions league football. The only downside is that they’re probably interested in someone a lot better than him

Re percentages - Sporting Lisbon should accept a player exchange deal for Gyokeres. That would clear up any misunderstanding

Mostly because it’s a low risk, relatively cheap transfer but the Villa links were reported weeks ago with nothing since

Its agent talk. Clearly his foreign deal wasn’t all it was cracked up to be so he asked his agent to pump him around, nothing doing so now he’s considering our deal again.

None of it adds up to a PL club being interested, let alone a top half one, or he’d be gone already.

Yeah there’s no chance he goes there. Nowhere near the level they’re shopping at. Plus they’re buying Barkley who has much more pedigree for the same position.
