Think I’ll be topping up on Southampton to get relegated next season if that’s correct…

I wouldnt be happy as I know Robins would only see a small percentage of it but if he saw like 75% of it I would be relieved as we could reinvest

Dont see why not

He cant hit a cows arse with a shovel when through on goal, falls over every 5 minutes too.

Dont get me wrong i love the bloke, the press he gives us and the first touch and drive at the defence he has


But stats wise, if anything 7million is more than hes worth

Say SISU took 2 Million and Gave MR 5 of that, i feel he would do damage with it big time and get us top 6.


Think some forget Cal was a free. 7 million quid profit and hopefully a sell on is fantastic business really

I dont deny that its fantastic business the reason Im wary is who realistically can we sign to replace him that can do the running he does week in week out

Every player is replaceable at this level, although might not get someone with quite the same style. He'd be a huge loss but if we could bring someone in who's more of a goal threat it could improve us. Personally would like a bit more, but that's maybe more a sentimental thing rather than him being worth more.

He's probably just unfollowed the club so they can't see all the drinking and fingering he's gonna be doing on his holidays for the next 2 weeks.

MR has very little to gain in selling O hare if he doesnt want to go. And for that sort of money i would not be interested in selling him. We need to strengthen our squad by adding quality to the better players we have. We cant do what the club has done in the past, it catches you out in the end. We need go carry on progressing on and off the field and follow the way the club has been built under MR. If MR has no pressure to sell and the player is happy let it be and add a player that will challenge O hare and push him to be that better player. That will benefit the club going forward not selling now, most can see O hare has room to improve and has the ability and work ethic to get there. If he does then 7 mill would not buy hos right leg, if he doesn't he was signed on a free and we lose nothing. Selling has no positive outcome for me just brings us a weaker squad.

Vik needs another year with us, going to the likes of Fulham fine but he needs to play and not sit on his arse on the subs bench. As for Burnley or Middlesbrough two shit holes if ever there was one and we will be better than both those two anyway. Burnley ain’t even got a manager.

I’d take £7m for O’Hare, love the guy but we could do serious damage in the transfer market with that sort of fee. I could see us bringing in 5/6 quality players to add to the 3/4 we’ve got, really make us a force.

Doesn’t look the midfielder is Palmer, Bristol City end saying Cardiff the only club wanted to take him and couldn’t agree personal terms (again, seems unlikely we can offer more than Cardiff)

Exclusive: Cardiff in talks to sign Kasey Palmer but deal in danger of collapse

Bristol City remain hopeful an agreement can be struck for the former Chelsea playmaker who has one year remaining on his contract but is not part of Nigel Pearson's plans

From a quick glance on Twitter, Southampton have been linked with O’Hare at various points since 2017 when he was at Villa, so could be legs in it.

Not sure we could expect another side to pay much more than £7m, but I think he’s worth more than that to us. If he bagged half the amount of goals he should have, we’d be getting double that.

Played 204 minutes of football last season and is one of their high earners…. No thanks, would rather gamble on Walsh if that was the case who’s actually played for our club and would be much cheaper and would have played similiarish minutes last season… basically fuck all

Couple of years ago when we were in League One I was calling for us to sign him half way through his loan on Millwall where they weren’t playing him but we are well past him now

He was on loan at Millwall the first year we were back up in the championship, he played against us and I think won the penalty at their place

Not sure we could do as much damage as you suggest with 7million spread across 5/6 players + wages.

I'd be very interested to see how much will be left to reinvest from a sale once operating costs and loans/interest payments are covered.

Don't forget most transfers are paid in instalments as well.

Cant see the owners taking more than 2.5 Million and leaving MR with 4.5

its 2.5 million outright profit for them on someone they got for free

£3mil for Twine or similar, £2mil towards squad elsewhere, and £2mil for operating costs (in whatever form they're classed!) would probably be a 'win'.

tbh O'Hare's impossible to quantify isn't he. Limited end product, but we'd definitely have to change style if he went, and how would that effect the team as a whole?

Click to expand...

A portion, however significant or not, will need to be utilised to cover operating costs as well. So it's very difficult to quantify how much or little Robins will receive.

There's also the EFL loan to consider.

He wasn’t offered a contract we signed him on a free (the Solihull Messi), so there’s no sell on.
