£15m for Sheaf, and if Gyokeres moves on could mean we have £25million in the kitty. With what we already have in the team, that should give Robins enough to put together an automatic promotion challenging squad. I love Sheaf and would like him to stay, but every player has their price.Compare him to the Hamer deal and it’s not unreasonable
Don’t we have some of the £15m for Hamer left?Just don’t see how we fund the required signings without a sale. By my count we need £12m minimum. More than Vik would give us.
In all honesty if we get £15 million for Sheaf and we have around say £13 million for the rest of it, you'd have to expect that to fund a real promotion push on top of what's already here.

Eccles is a fantastic player. Torp will be a PL player within 2 years, either with us or if we dont go up next season he will be gone as he is a monster player, we have seen signs of what he is capable of.If we sell Sheaf in the summer then that shows to me very little has really changed at the club since SISU.
Sell in 12 months time if we don't get promoted.
Having the heart of the midfield ripped out in Hamer and Sheaf in consecutive seasons will make it near impossible to go up next season.
We will have Eccles as the senior midfielder, Torp who will hopefully be good but will still be adapting to new country, and the speed of the championship, could we'll be we don't see the best of Torp till after Christmas next season
And some new midfielders who may or may not be good and we definitely won't see the best of these new signings for another 6-12 months.
Eccles and Torp doesn't look like a promotion midfield to me for next season.

Think that all went on running costs and infrastructure, which is no bad thing at all btw.Don’t we have some of the £15m for Hamer left?
Lets hope Arsenal lose today and squander chances thus hastening their need for Gyokeres!£28m and I’d expect an autos push.
The question is whether there’s enough interest from top flight clubs to pay that or more, Hamer only got an offer from the worst side in the Prem once they got desperate. Sheaf being English and generally more professional off the pitch sways it for me.£15m for Sheaf, and if Gyokeres moves on could mean we have £25million in the kitty.

We're going to end up in a constant cycle of being nearly there but needing to sell another player to get us there, it's a bit like painting the forth bridgeHis peak value is now. If you could fetch £15-20m plus whatever from hopefully Gyo's transfer, you really should have enough to build a proper squad with change left over.
The issue is that the player himself isn't straightforward to replace
I'm with you there. Great player for us, but I would be amazed if a Prem team signed him.Sheaf’s a quality player but not quite sure he’s prem league level ( unless with us) maybe one of the promoted teams take a chance on him ?
This is less likely to happen if we think more seriously about succession planning in our recruitment. You sell Sheaf and sign players who’ll be ready to replace those we’re looking to sell next summer.We're going to end up in a constant cycle of being nearly there but needing to sell another player to get us there, it's a bit like painting the forth bridge
Only clubs i could see interested are the 3 who go up, and maybe Luton if they stay up, and maybe Forest. Surely Sheaf will want to have an idea of who we are bringing in this summer as that will factor in to his decision making, as one would think if it becomes apparent we are going for the title and autos he may give it another year here. If though it seems a play off push is best we can hope for then id imagine he wants out.The question is whether there’s enough interest from top flight clubs to pay that or more, Hamer only got an offer from the worst side in the Prem once they got desperate.

Leicester will lose Dewsbury-twat and i can see them coming in for Sheaf to replace him unless they are banned from signing players.I'm with you there. Great player for us, but I would be amazed if a Prem team signed him.
Same with O'Hare. Don't think either are Prem quality.
They are completely different playersLeicester will lose Dewsbury-twat and i can see them coming in for Sheaf to replace him unless they are banned from signing players.
Don’t rule out them making a move for Hamer or COH.Leicester will lose Dewsbury-twat and i can see them coming in for Sheaf to replace him unless they are banned from signing players.
I know, but i still think Sheaf will be on their radar as will Hamer beThey are completely different players
Think all 3 will be on their radar as it happens.Don’t rule out them making a move for Hamer or COH.
A possible scenario is that in Jan a Premier Club ( let’s call them Luton ) made Sheafs agent aware and the club that they wanted to sign Sheaf.
Sheaf and his agent made it clear they would not push for a move but want the club to know that the player wants to play in the Premier League.
The club go into this summer knowing if the right offer comes in the player wants to move on.
Speculation and rumours start to leave the City / player camps that Sheaf might move be sold in the summer ….
He's improved but to say not at all i'd pop for an eye test!I’ve not seen that at all this season
If Torp stamps his place next season he'll go the same way.I think Sheaf is a Premier League level of player. He is class and I would expect the lower end of the PL clubs and those promoted from Championship to make a bid.
In terms of our finances, I think Vik's potential move is key. If he moves for big money, then we don't need to sell Sheaf. It'll be a case of whether he pushes for a move.
Either which way I would expect £15m + for Sheaf
He's a very good player but not at the Hamer or Gyokeres level. Neither is O'Hare. That's why I think some of the figures being mentioned on here are well off. I might be wrong though and you never know with some teams, with figures like £80 million on Anthony and £100 million on Caicedo.
Automatic promotion, the problem with losing players like sheaf is we need to bring in players of an equal standard and as we’ve seen with wright and simms they sometimes take quite a bit of time to get up to speed, and by the time they have you’re miles off top two.£15m for Sheaf, and if Gyokeres moves on could mean we have £25million in the kitty.

If he goes, he needs to go soon so we can get a replacement in asap. Totally agree we cant be doing what we did this season and bring in players at the start of the season.Automatic promotion, the problem with losing players like sheaf is we need to bring in players of an equal standard and as we’ve seen with wright and simms they sometimes take quite a bit of time to get up to speed, and by the time they have you’re miles off top two.
