A midfield 4 of Grimes, Eccles and Torp and Allen is decent.fucking hell, selling the club captain but it’s ok because we’re relying on Eccles, Latibeaudiere and Allen as replacements??
I do hope there’s at least one other CM lined up as none of those names are good enough if we’re serious about getting out of this division
A midfield 4 of Grimes, Eccles and Torp and Allen is decent.
My concern is that Eccles and Allen can ‘cover’ Grimes, but there’s no alternative to Torp for a more creative outlet. Torp himself hasn’t had the best of luck injury wise since he’s joined.
Right now, £6.5m is a good deal for Sheaf. Ironically, we would’ve got double had we sold him in the summer of 2024.
not asking for much for better than AllenAnd what level of Torp cover can we realistically hope for?
We all hope for the top players for each position scenario but for most Championship clubs, including us, it's not realistic.

There will be games and match ups where Torp isn't suited, we need someone with a different profile to play in those sorts of games.Maybe not. But we basically need someone who's a decent standard but who's happy to sit on the bench and play cameos here and there and not be called on unless there's injury or suspension.

Thats the job of the recruitment team. For me, if we sign Woolfenden and a youngster on loan we haven't really pushed on that greatly from what we had last year.But you're looking for someone who knows their time will be limited given how good our first 3 are, or you need someone on their level who's confident he can displace one of them, and that will cost.
Just shows how difficult it is to get players that tick all the boxes you're after.
Ifyoure not careful you end up paying 6.5 mil for a Ben Sheaf!
Not enough, they should have paid more English tax!How much damn money do they have,
It's like watching a rich kid teenager running through those football manager games running on overdrive to get a trophy for taking a non league team to winning the Premier league.
There’s only one Callum O’HareWe can now sign 3 Callum o hares
Grimes I guess.Who's going to be the new captain then?

Kitching as he has been the captain this season when playing apart from the 6 minutes Sheaf managed to turn out for us.Grimes I guess.
I prefer to keep MVE in the squad over SheafPays for the KKH transfer, that was meant to come from a MVE sale. OMG FFS
And 1/2 the price!On paper - O’Brien and Sheaf is a top central midfield at this level. If he’s fit Sheaf will be a class act.
Unfortunately he’s the same position as Grimes but Grimes is a better player
we've got o'hare, callum o'hare,There’s only one Callum O’Hare
One Callum O’Hare
Try reading some of the shite on here. We're supposed to be mid table at bestJust read a comment from a Wrexham fan that says he’s not an upgrade on Matty James…
I had the same thought about him not coming onNow we know why he didn't come on as a sub.
Good price. Now let's see some strengthening in the areas we all know need sorting.
Nope. Wolves was his best. Before & after he gave the ball away far too often & when presented with a chance the ball typically ended in Row Z.Can anyone think of a good Sheaf performance since the semi final vs United?
There's only 2 Molinari's.There’s only one Callum O’Hare
One Callum O’Hare
When I think about peak Sheaf I also think of Wolves.Nope. Wolves was his best. Before & after he gave the ball away far too often & when presented with a chance the ball typically ended in Row Z.
Yes they did. Club Captain signs a new contract in a slow news week and club keeps it completely silent. Spot the problem...If true it might mean that this topic on SkybluesTalk becomes a lot less active
Injury Updates
Didn't someone mention on another thread that they believed Sheaf had signed an extension ?
