Alan Nixon is usually reliable
Permanent apparently

If this is true, it would fit a certain player profile we currently need. In my view, we could do with a bigger, more physical CM as a squad player.

Hope this happens. Exactly the sort of plauers we should be investing in like Hamer, players we can develop and who in a year or 2 could be worth some serious money.
Really hope we get him as having him, Kelly and Hamer as the options for CDM would be great.

I can’t say I’d heard of him but Sounds like he was highly rated, certainly by Wenger. Versatile as well.

Had an injury or two that’s halted his career, but wenger certainly speaks highly of him...
“He’s always ahead of the game and his anticipation quality is absolutely huge,” said the legendary French coach.
“There is something in him that I believe will allow him to progress. He analyses what’s happening to him, he assesses well what is going on and that’s why I believe he will have a good career.”

More the idea on him. Investment, will have been trained to play our way and physical attributes are great

Good player. Probably what we need as competition for Liam Kelly. Was considered one of the most technically gifted players coming through at Arsenal a few years back, but injuries have stunted his progress.

A guide to Ben Sheaf for Coventry City fans from Arsenal and Doncaster
Ben Sheaf will join Coventry City on a season-long loan with a £750,000 option to buy, so what sort of player are they getting?

Yeah, would be good to get him under a million.

I hadn’t considered we’d actually be paying for him. We must rate him.

We definitely need a bigger, stronger back up to Kelly than Eccles who I don't see being up to the Championship. Can't see us spending £1m on a player to be a back up though.

Found this thread on their forum he can be slow to release the ball at times which is probably down to wanting to pick the right pass very easy to get that sorted they rate him up there by all accounts.Another one who seems to be on the verge of bigger clubs coming in possibly 1-2 years developing,Arsene Wenger rated him very highly.
From an early look at him forums etc would be a good signing for us possibly around the 500k Figure.

Assuming Kelly and Hamer are the first choices in central midfield, the query is obvious. Why spend a lot on a man who is likley to be a squad player? For choice I would prefer a loan as back-up to Kelly and Hamer. The wolves guy is a better option. This comment guarrantees that Sheaf will come and then dominate central midfield for the whole season.....
Or is Sheaf an upgrade for the departing Westbrooke, so if not cash-neutral, not far off it?

Tbf I think Wenger was asked about the loan/the player and just gave some nice comments about him, if he was rated highly at Arsenal he wouldn’t have been on loan at Doncaster Rovers at his age

£1m for competition for Kelly & Hamer in the championship for me is about right mate I think
Terry_dactyl
Well-Known Member
Yeah maybe. It does appear he was around the first team/on the brink of making a few appearances for them. I guess you could say that about a lot of players that never make it.
I’m surprised that a fee is being talked about. Surely we could just loan him for less?

I'd be delighted with this. Like Hamer, he's one of those players we could flip for millions if he performs well.

If we own him we can sell him for a profit if he impresses.

That would be a 7 figure fee!

6 figure fee = £100,000-£999,999... I doubt it’ll be on the high end of that though
