I would like to think that if O'Hare was to go, then Robins would be allowed some funds, we've had this talk before and yet managed to bring in Sheaf, Hamer and Gyokeres, all for fees

Should try and sign from Brannagan from Oxford, he’s a great player

Is he going to go there for 3 times as much to sit on the bench?

Yeh probably and so would every single one of us.

3 year contact on £45k a week is over £7m.

Be absolutely mad not too - one look at Jodi Jones is all it takes

Not necessarily. I think it more likely just highlights is that the club is physically unable to reinvest the funds received from a sale at this point in time.

Not ideal when apparently that's our 'model'.

And if he fails, he can just fall back to a club like us, much richer for it.

I'll be gutted when wel lose O'Hare but if that sort of career opportunity comes he'd be mad not to take it.

Just refreshing that we aren't bent over a barrel in the fee negotiations for once

I'd be gutted for him to go, if it is to sit on the bench after being the main man here for the last two years it's a retrograde move in footballing terms.

We probably are. Robins I’m sure would have rather it was Hamer who himself I’m sure won’t be too delighted at his fellow midfielder getting mega wages vs his

I'd back O'Hare to respond better to not getting a move elsewhere than Hamer. Slightly concerned if Hamer does stay we'll have a demotivated CM for a bit.

I dont think he will be demotivated at all but I think he will start overtrying in order to get a move which could lead to a downturn in form

I don't see that in Hamer at all. Think he'd just get on with it if a move didn't materialise.

One way of looking at it ... but id say we just have a value in mind for each player. nobody wants to match that for Hamer currently then we are not duty bound to sell cheap. more bids will come as the window goes on. its same for O'Hare and Gyok.

Im not deluded like some on here and realize we need to generate cash at some point, that will probably mean selling an asset. thankfully the key players all have time left on their contracts so we don't need to panic yet. Im sure at least one will go but i feel we have a pretty decent hand in negotiations for once.

Fulham will be straight back down, but I suppose a year's wages in the Prem is too good to turn down. The absolute bastards!! (if he goes)

Like others have said, can only see this happening if we're resigned to one of O'Hare or Hamer leaving, and I think it'd be a step backwards in terms of quality. No way would we bring in another midfielder when we're crying out for a LWB and probably 2 CB's out of a very empty purse.

What's frustrating is that I could handle one of the big names being sold if I knew that that all that fee and wages would be reinvested in the squad and allow two or three more signings to join. But I know that won't happen and we'll end up bringing in a single replacement on the cheap and hoping they fill the sizeable gap. Like when we replaced Keane with Bellamy, only with even less of the funds being given to the manager.

I really do, at this moment, expect us to regress a bit this season.

Even if they are relegated he'd still be on the same wage (or at least not far off).

On paper Keane for Bellamy was a decent move TBF.

I’m more worried about a McSheffrey for Leon McKenzie situation.

but thats how it works, we cant reinvest the entire sum on new players. we have overheads to cover.. facilities, maintenance, staff and player wages. all this needs to come from somewhere.

That said Sisu aren't dumb, they will reinvest a percentage to keep the process ticking over.

Sibley could be a bargain, he was really hyped a few years back. if we could get him back on track he could shine.

And before people moan about gambling on unproven or out of form players, that is literally all we ever buy these days... and has paid off before. who knew anything about Hamer really? we didnt really know if Gyok would hit the heights he did last season

I know it's not like us to actually have a decent squad but if we were a normal club you would expect a third attacking midfielder to come in alongside Palmer and Ohare given we like to play with two AM's

Unless we are going in on the box this season, Godden, Gyokeres and Tavares as the striker options, Sibley, O’hare and Palmer as the AM options, thats some good depth

Agreed. Think we need 3 of each so we can mix up the formation properly between the box and 2 up front. So 6 players for 3 positions which is ideal
