Yes and once they see what is on offer who can blame them but I think you will be aware , none of these players are wanting to leave and love it here
I think for O’hare it will be a massive move for him , in terms of moving away from family and friends

100% SBB
Probably the same was true of Grealish at AV and back in the day Rooney at Everton where his whole family were Evertonians
There's a great atmosphere in the camp
But all the players see their team mates go from fan's favourites to 'deadwood' after suffering serious injury when doing their job for the club

I don't mind replacing him with a loan player as long as it's the right player. Would like to see the money invested in an actual signing though. Loans are great to supplement what you have with additional quality, but shouldn't be your core.

Really to keep things moving you want two in for one out, both with potential to be the next big sale. You can’t ask for a 100% hit rate from the recruitment team. Doesn’t have to be the same position, but you need to restock.

100% yes , I think only Shipley has gone and said he wants to go to get game time . Every single player loves being in this squad , that’s also testament to the senior pros who keep the camp happy

The purpose of the thread aside, this is really encouraging to read.

It certainly seems a happy camp, with great camaraderie and togetherness, so it’s great to see it confirmed.

This fee in itself is as much as possibly all them fees together isn't it ?

Yes we sold most of them more as prospects as we had to sell them sooner, Maddison was £22m from Norwich

Best case here. £8m in, £5m to Sisu, £3m to Robins, he goes and picks up another Sheaf/Hamer/Györkeres type signing at AM, CM and CB. We go into the season with a very balanced squad.

SISU's investment went when they liquidated the two previous CCFC entities, their investment in Otium is practically zero

If 1 goes at the top of the squad to strengthen i would say you need 2 of equal ability. That's going to be so difficult as COH stats and data are very high. And the fact he is very rarely was injured will be another factor not mentioned. Lastly the confidence he gave his team mates to be able to make something happen will be missed. So 2 would soften the blow.

Don’t understand why they get mentioned tbh, their owner put over £100m before promotion. Our “model” is Huddersfield when they went up or something like that

Huddersfield owner put a fortune in over the years as well so not really like them either

Sisu are great now

These sustainable financial plan lovers are going to have egg on their face when all they replace him with a 6 ft 7 forward who was at Oldham a few years ago

I haven't been posting as often recently as I seem to have a stalker
I've had him on ignore bur no doubt he's hovering over his keyboard waiting for every post I make
But he shouldn't bother
I'm afraid COH is on his way to Lancashire
It's not fair to blame anyone at the club
The personal terms are astronomical and virtually any player would want to take advantage of a life changing offer like this
But of course the club still have power and we have driven a hard bargain
Certainly more than the £5m Fulham offered
If there is any consolation it's that we are in a stronger position to demand a higher fee for Gus if a wealthier club comes in for him in similar circumstances with a stupendous contract offer

I hope my previous message about you and believer hasn’t made me out to be a stalker… or the fact I’m sat in your garden… I’m just a big fan

I'd rather that than see him play against us in an OP team twice. Granted if he joined Bournemouth that'd simply happen the following season.
