Lewis potter, Josh Bowler and Morgan Gibbs White are light years ahead of Ohare as attacking midfielders. All younger too.

Hamer is our only player who is premier league standard technically right now.

He will be the one to go.

Incredible business. Enjoy him for one more home game.

We wont see anything like him for years.

Lewis-Potter was impressive against us but the best of the lot is Brennan Johnson

If we won’t see anything like him for years then I’m not exactly optimistic of our future

The fee is a clause in his contract that was put in the new deal he signed. The fee activated is big and will give MR room to improve the squad. Until he signed the new deal clubs were trying to pick up a bargain. Those clubs are not mentioned now as the fee is dictated by the clause.

That would probably be acceptable and should ensure we don't sell Ohare or Vik as well

Yeah I got told the 9 to 10 mill mark. Same place I heard Vik is being touted at 8mill if any clubs come knocking. From that if both are sold MR will get a very good % to work with during the summer.

Ideally none of them, but hamer, ohare and gyok in that order.
Gyok will atleast double in market value next season.

There was a rumour going round on Saturday that Hamer has a release clause in his new contract and that he’s going to Celtic in the summer. Could be bollocks though.

Gyokeres is the one I think we’d miss the most. O’Hare is also very important to how we play, but I think he’s the least likely of the 3 to get a Premier League move. Not convinced he’s technically good enough, despite being good creatively and a very hard worker. Think he will probably be a very good Championship player for most of his career.

I think MR knows 1 has to go if we are to improve squad in its quality of depth. He has spoken about the way the club has to do it for a while now and seems ok with the process. It's hard watching a really good player go but if it allows 3 really good signings to come in, it certainly softens any blow of losing a good player.

We still have to hope some of the younger ones step up and still will have to look at a couple of younger players untested at this level to try to develop for that same purpose. But I trust in MR to know who and what is needed to keep us moving forward and sometimes decisions are made for the greater good of the group.

He's decent at this level but would struggle to get a start in any PL side.

I hope we keep all three but yesterday bit of talk doing the rounds that Rangers are very interested managed by Dutchman Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
Rangers or Celtic would give him Champions League football which would be an attraction I suppose, but just rumours at the moment that do the rounds this time of year, as said I hope we keep all three and can add better players to them, we can be a real force in this division if we can do that.

That was doing the rounds 6 months ago not yesterday even on here. DVB not only Dutch but gave him his debut at Feyenoord.

Rangers or Celtic would be perfect for the petulant one, only has to perform when he can be bothered. 9 million, yes please!

i really don't want to lose any of the three, but if i had to choose one, then Hamer, we would miss him though.

It's not reported, it's a little whisper going round. It may have no substance but clubs were named that were in. Let's see it's just what I was told but let's face it would be hardly be a shock if it comes right. He is the one most would see going and the one that would generate the highest fee.

I could see Hamer going to Brighton if Bissouma is sold. Would be a big step up but development potential for them for sure.

And I can see Smith at Norwich coming in for O'Hare (and Davis from Villa).

Have to hope that a decent % of any fee received is reinvested in both transfer fees (younger players with potential) and wages (the out of contract market will be decent this summer)

Rangers are in financial trouble again. Neither club will be spending £9m on a midfielder anytime soon.

1 out 3 in would be OK.

Sell 1: replace and 2 CBs
Sell 2: replace and 2CBs, LWB, AM
Sell 3: replace and 3CBs, LWB, AM, ST

9 new signings would be by far the most we’ve had to integrate in a summer though.

Most money is to be made from selling Vik . Don't think we can afford to lose Hamer or O'Hare personally .
Get a premier loanee striker in and another established striker in and hopefully that fills the loss of Vik.
Let's face it whoever goes will leave a huge hole in the side

Hamer i imagine will be in the most demand and i think is the "best" player of the 3, but then i think he has the highest ambitions and would be the most likely to be "happy" to leave.

I'm not sure we'd find another 15 goal a season striker in the first window

I'd let go of O'Hare if i had to decide between the 3, but think Hamer is the more likely to get a move with a bigger price tag.

i wont pretend to know what Robins thinks...

He wont want to lose any of them, but it'll come down to money, if its 7m for Hamer or 5m for O'Hare, Hamer is gone, if its the other way, O'Hare is gone. none of them are irreplaceable.

If they are both getting similar offers i imagine it will partly come down to who else is available in the market to replace the gap

I just heard that COH and Hamer's new deals are unaffordable long term so one will have to be sold
Tbh it makes sense
99% of clubs are in the same position as us
Players capable of playing at a much better level will eventually be sold to clubs higher up the pyramid
The trick is to use at least some of the fee on players in the same position at lesser clubs than us
The circle of life............
