Hamer. I think a player of his type is easier to replace.

Dont want to lose any of them, but O'Hare probably the easiest to replace in my eyes.

We won't find another like for like Vic or Hamer for less than £5m. Which we won't have to spend regardless of what we sell them for.

Hamer is by far our best player and will command the biggest fee, we hopefully get 8million+ for him which can be spent on replacing him and improving other areas of the squad.

This should be the mentality year on year until we are able to mount a serious challenge.

CoH is far more important to the way we play and Viktor is the only striker we have capable of getting close to 20 goals in a season.

If all 3 go, MR might be tempted to leave as well rather than start over and rebuild the team from scratch. With quite a few open managerial positions at other teams that have more money to spend, he might fancy his chances elsewhere.

Who ever goes robins will be given the task of replacing them on a shoestring

Hamer as quoted above, but i have a feeling we will lose all three and others as well. i see a busy summer for Robins, i think we might struggle next season, God! i hope i am wrong.

COH I think is the weaker of the 3 and has the lower long term value - as such if we can get a good fee now i would take it - so long as we can reinvest at least half on a replacement

Unfortunately CoH is a player that some will not realise just how important he is for us until he’s gone.

So Hamer.

Vik for me. Hes an outlet when we are under pressure. Hes had a superb season but i feel the other two are more integral to our style and tempo of play

The only problem is we don’t have anyone in the squad to score the number of goals he does.

Hamer is my favourite player for us. I just love watching him play, the technical ability, vision and tackling, loves a long range shot. He's all action and unpredictable. I think of all our players he would be the most comfortable in the premiership, but also probably the easiest of the 3 to replace... If they makes any sense. He would also probably command a higher fee then O'Hare so is we're to sell any I think I'd reluctantly let Hamer go. Viktor is simply irreplaceable for the market we are shopping in - must keep at all costs.

It's not just his goals that we'll be losing either, it's his creativity as well.

“The way we play” has got us to mid table in the Championship, while respectable no doubt plenty of room for improvement!

Hamer I feel has signed a contract to help us out. I feel like he’s already one foot out the door,

o’Hare I reckon we could tempt into another contract and Gyokeres for me would have to do it again next season for anyone to consider paying what his value is

I think it's probably fair to say that the reason we're sitting mid-table rather than perhaps higher is due to the shortcomings in defence.

Other than replacing any outgoings that has to be a priority in the summer.

O'hare. Easier to replace.
However , Victor will be in demand and will probably go.Good strikers are harder to come by and he's improving week by week

That statement is true for any football club in the 92 barring maybe 3 or 4.

I agree. However I think this is even more than case with Hamer, who in my view is the only player we have who is capable at the moment of playing at a higher level. The other two have the potential.

I would be sad to see him go but if it was any if them my choice would be Gyokeres.

I think people underestimate how quickly Hamer looks to get the ball forward and into dangerous areas when they say he will be easiest to replace. Combine that with his technical ability, he has qualities you very rarely see in defensive midfielders.

Yes, and he can drive well with the ball at his feet as well as his great range of passing. I think all 3 are pivotal players for us and losing any of them is going to cause us problems.

I said Gyokeres as the other 2 are more integral to how we play, but then all three of them you run the risk of signing a replacement and then their being obvious differences and then potentially the mechanism needs oiling as its starting to squeak

Callum O'Hare due to the fact there will be a few attacking midfielders/no. 10s available like Lawrence, where as we won't find another striker like Gyokeres, and midfielder of the quality of Hamer.

Lots of people thought we wouldn't be able to replace Walsh, Hamer isn't irreplaceable.

I agree, and would add Sheaf to the list as he adds something different to midfield from Hamer, and arguably allows him more freedom.

Personally, I think Sheaf is likely to be more in demand than Hamer because his stats look really good and that's what a lot of scouting will go on. Gyokeres is another who I think will be in demand because of his all round game along with his decent goalscoring record. O'Hare's poor return in front of goal may see him over-looked a bit.

I change my mind hourly over which I'd (very reluctantly) choose to lose. One moment I think O'Hare because there's a lot of attacking midfielders around and he isn't great in front of goal, but that energy and almost bulletproof playing so many games when we'll have a small squad could be vital.

Then I think Hamer because he gets booked so often but he's got the best vision.

I don't tend to go for Gyokeres because even though he's not been as prolific second half of the season and the goal tally may drop off a bit next year so this *could* be the top of the cycle for him, but his all round game, especially if we play a lone striker, is vital and replacing that can be very hit and miss.

One thing is for sure, I don't want any of them sold unless we have an absolute cast iron, scouted, replacement ready to come through the doors immediately.

I think we’d miss Hamer the least simple as that. I also think Ohare and yok have more improvement to come and so ultimately will be more valuable
