FoxOnWheels Posted 3 May Share Posted 3 May Sign him if it’s on a free see if it works in the first year if not sell him back to championship for profit (or keep him if we end up back there) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliFOXnia Posted 3 May Share Posted 3 May Last I checked we were attempting to (or at least the concensus was that we'd like to) move away from players with certain attitudes/character traits.. Ticks every single box on a list of qualities I wouldn't want in a team-mate or a player for a side you'd expect to be in the trenches of a relegation dogfight again next season. And, technically, is he Prem level..? I'm not so sure. Not for me. Avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonFox Posted 3 May Share Posted 3 May Think he’d be ok, decent touch, works hard, another one who doesn’t mind to get dirty, can chip in with a few goals and I think would be ok with rotation. Most importantly, I think he has a pretty good footballing brain and that’s what Enzo would be looking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t sell him back to the EPL if you put him on 50k a week. He will be running down his contract to try and increase wages. Sort of deal we need to do right and I’m still not sure he’s actually any good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimJams Posted 4 May Share Posted 4 May I thought that was pretty well covered when I said "As long as the wages aren't off putting for champ clubs"... Any difference could be made up by the fact we'd be selling him, not letting him go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where my head has gone but you articulated it so much better. The “free transfer” talk only makes logic if wages are considerably lower than what we’ve offered so much dross over the years. If there becomes a bidding war between us and the likes of West Ham, I’d happily walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The “free transfer” talk only makes logic if wages are considerably lower than what we’ve offered so much dross over the years. If there becomes a bidding war between us and the likes of West Ham, I’d happily walk away. Forest reportedly put Josh Bowler on 30k a week (i know he wasnt a free), and then just loaned him out to various clubs. Never set foot in the PL squad and they are going to struggle to sell him. Not sure i want to be doing that sort of deal. I think you are right in that the second their is a wages bidding war you get out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 4 May Share Posted 4 May I can see him joining Brendan at Celtic. Lovely arrogance. Same agent stable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iran Posted 4 May Share Posted 4 May Personally speaking, not too keen on Callum O’Hare. Guess I'm with the majority on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, technically, is he Prem level..? I'm not so sure. Not for me. Avoid. I have the same misgivings, though I can see that his aggressive on-field nature and energy may be an asset to us. Does anyone think there is anyone in our development squad who shows similar aggressiveness and skill and has the potential to reach the level required for the Prem? Maybe there is someone who is a better investment than O'Hare. Obviously it would be a huge step-up for an academy player, but I would say that O'Hare is hardly oven-ready for the Prem himself.

Bilo Posted 5 May Share Posted 5 May He's not good enough to warrant a bidding war. He'd represent a good squad player who could offer an interesting option, but no more than that. If West Ham want to pay him £60k a week to sit on the bench, fine. We're better looking abroad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that means Rudkin will offer £80k a week then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Posted 5 May Author Share Posted 5 May He isn’t a bad player in reality. For a free transfer and if we paid him £60k a week on a 3 year contract. That’s around £9.3m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good player at Championship level, certainly. Whether he would warrant that sort of money is another matter. I doubt he's on anything like that at Coventry, so offer him £40k and he should snap our hand off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
