Barnsley fans think we have paid a really good price form their perspective.

Barnsley rejected bid for kitching

yes but as stated on record by the owners- no loans and kitching not for sale Just pointing out they've quickly done the opposite It’s a fair point...

Ah well .
We move and Liam will hopefully develop much further over the next 3/4 years

I pay little attention to what other fans say about a departing player. Always get the ‘he weren’t that good anyway’ Brigade rear their ugly heads!

Everybody knows how it feels to have sold a player at the literal 11th hour of the transfer window, it happened with Maddison who after that was suddenly shite according to some of our fans.

The bitterness is good to hear, if he was shit they wouldn't give a toss.

Not exactly the consensus on Hamer, but yes.

Why Coventry?
What did the gaffer say?
You know Collins and Thomas are here. Did they have some good words to say?

But we've been in the unusual position of selling a player to buy others, Barnsley are not. They've sold him and will not replace him so their fans will feel pretty bitter.

Just as we thought the same about Gyokeres and Hamer. Pragmatically, we accepted we were likely to lose them and wanted to extract the most value for the pair.

I am not sure I remember a few being as pragmatic as that but I can see your logic as to why they are being realistic.

This is modern football fandom right here, isn't it? Everything polarised. It can be both, FFS! Good deal for them, good deal for us. Not always one or the other.

We get a 23 year old who's played 160+ games already, balances the back line (left footed) and captained the club he's leaving to a play off final last season.

Overall, it’s fair to say that the consensus on here is that we got good value for both Hamer and Gyokeres.

Two big losses for sure. From Kitching’s interview, we made contact with him shortly after Wembley. It’s clear he’s had his head turned, Barnsley fans feel that and with some bad performances, there’s probably resentment there.

With Gyokeres and Hamer, their commitment was never called into question so that’s certainly kept them in our good books.

Seemed to be a lot aimed at Robins for saying he’d spoken to prospective signings and complained about high asking prices. Which to be fair is not something I’m particularly keen on even if it is commonplace.

Even the signings we have made. All things being equal, Kitching and Thomas are £1m signings 4 years ago, maybe less.

I'm still holding onto the glimmer but probably just a coincidence, like when everyone thought ccfc twitter was teasing Hamer new contract

It’s just marking where Todd Kane did his business so Kitching doesn’t sit there.

Probably just player numbers there. You could see Wilson’s 13 and Allen’s 8 in the background when he was doing his photoshoot.

Which changing room is that, certainly not the match day one.

Naturally it suited both parties in the end that is why the deal was finalised. He fills a gap and provides extra options in midfield by allowing JL to be able to cover DCM without leaving us short at the back.
I don't doubt the player as I have faith in Robins but have scepticism on the price however can defiantly concede this summer prices seem to have inflated significantly across the game and maybe I was being overly optimistic we might find a bargain rather than paying top dollar for undoubted league 1 talent.

Admittedly it took two months but probably the best scoop this summer.
