Luton target Coventry midfielder as Edwards aims to boost Premier League survival bid

EXCLUSIVE: Luton Town are interested in signing Coventry City midfielder Ben Sheaf as Rob Edwards' side aim to boost their Premier League survival chances.
www.teamtalk.com

Would have to be big money and we have no need to sell. I can’t seem them offering £10-15m

Is he playing in place of their best player in Barkley?

I'm sure he'd like to spend half a season in the premier league and then be back in the championship

Not gonna happen, 2 years left on his contract and integral to the squad. I'd honestly ask for £20m which Luton won't pay.

First Luton won’t offer anywhere near enough, secondly don’t think Sheaf would want to go. No chance it happens

People, it's a non story from a clickbait website.

They picked sheafs name because he scored twice at the weekend.

As someone said on the other thread they won't pay what we would want.

I don't think Luton are likely to be spending much in January, it goes against their strategy really as the they are highly likely to be relegated. They've already started the preparations by offloading Giles.

Indeed. It was my first ever foray into the brave new world of posting shite on a football forum.....

I joined to vent my spleen about Richardson and his crack-pipe inspired madcap scheme for the all singing all dancing new national arena 2000 with sliding roof, subterranean missile silo + ice rink.....

.....I got banned on day 1.

I mean, any club can make an offer on a player, but apart from the fact Luton aren't going to be able to offer enough to interest the board, why the fuck would Sheaf want to go to a small club with a guarantee of Championship football next season. Not like they're going to pay him big money.

If there's one team in the Premier League I'd have absolutely no worries about losing any of our players to, its Luton.

A mouth watering opportunity to play in front of big crowds 19 times /season.

Both O’Hare and Sheaf should be dreaming of the moment a big club like Luton come knocking on our door.

Why? They aren't going to pay him that much as their model is based on returning to the Championship but with enough money to build a new ground.

They could even screw that up with the likes of Everton and Chelsea being investigated.

Their record signing is £5m on Giles, who they're already offloading 6 months after signing him.

No chance they're paying the £10/15m it'd need to sign Sheaf.

Luton aren't certain to be relegated... They'll fancy themselves to stay up, especially with the upcoming Everton and Forest point deductions

They would offer him considerably more money, PL football this year, plus a much better chance of PL football next season (or the year after next if Luton do indeed go down). The rumoured offer doesn’t sound like a likely one to me, but if it were true then every agent in the country would be advising him to take it.

I can’t see us selling him for less than £10m and I can’t see Luton offering that.

4 year contract? I'd be asking for a similar fee to Vik. May sound excessive but we're in the top 6 and under no pressure to sell him. We've got every chance of being a league above them next season so Id be surprised if there's any legs in this one

Impossible. If he goes to anyone it'll surely be a champions league club?

If there is anything in this though, bite their hands off for a stupid fee (10-20 million). He's a good player but from a business perspecitve a hit we could take, and then reinvest very well.

Not with only a week left of this window. He would be replaceable in the summer if we got a decent fee in but would totally derail our season if he went now

Yeah right, let's just sell the heart out of the team, not too Luton anyway.

We played a chunk of last and this season without him, and during both times was some of our best form. From a playing point of view it wouldn't be ideal but it wouldn't derail our season at all either. Like I said, for a stupid amount of money (that we likely wouldn't get in the summer) it isn't an unreasonable sacrifice. The key for me is that reinvestment though, which I cannot see happening right now. Depends where we think we see ourselves at the end of the season. As we've still got the Hamer money burning a hole in Doug's skiing fund our pocket. I would like to see some of that spent before we start selling other players.

Considerably more money yeah right. They are having to sell Giles to prepare for life in the championship. Are you his agent?
