O'Hare bids (29 Viewers)

[Sick Boy]

He may leave but folks are pissing their pants over "sources" that have been wrong at virtually every step and SBB having a feeling

The sources on here who've said he will likely leave have been pretty much spot on previously.

All this has fired up again purely on rumour and speculation. Burnley's sale wouldn't have happened over night and I'm sure they were aware of a fee that they had incoming when they were negotiating for O'Hare

Indeed and their owners would have made it known how much they could keep.

 

[Earlsdon-Loyal-Blue]

Oh come on. Like Sky decide whether Burnley come back in for him. Chill out.

No - hence I used the expression chucking fuel on the fire. They weren’t saying he was vital for us and not for sale, they kept banging on that Burnley hadn’t quite met our valuation.

 

[CCFC54321]

If as sky mentioned Burnley offered £6m must likely on £50 a week repayment terms I doubt they will up there offer to £9m cash payment.

There's so much straw clutching going on here - unfortunately, if they really want him enough he'll inevitably leave.

 

[fatso]

Wonder how many millionaires he made that day.

None, cus no fucker would ever of had such a stupid bet! The bookie was quite safe.


In all seriousness, if he ever does find his shooting boots and his confidence in front of goal improves, then he'd look a bargain at 10 million.

Tricky if you don’t think you’ll end up getting the money

Well don’t sell him then. We don’t need the money I think you were told?

They aren't saying he will leave, they have also spent the summer saying he was about to leave

SBB said something may happen

It may still happen but this is the case

 

[David O'Day]

This is the point really, if Burnley pay what we want and on terms we are happy with he will leave but so far they haven't bid what we want and in terms we agree to,

That is the facts of the story as it stands

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Well don’t sell him then. We don’t need the money I think you were told?

Nope I wasn’t. It was whether we are as desperate as was being suggested. Burnley won’t get him offering what and how they are

 

[Sick Boy]

As we get nearer the deadline there's more chance of us caving than them.

I don't know if caving is the right word. They'll will offer more. I think he'll go.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

That’s reassuring then

The personal terms are so enormous that very few players would be able to resist if the club wants to sell and get the right price and preferably all the money up front
There are exceptions like Gerrard but players at that level are already wealthy enough to refuse even higher offers

I get that but doesn't he also have to think whether this is the right move long term for his career. Is he necessarily a first team regular there, and if not, could this set his career back? I guess it depends how much confidence he has in his ability.

You’ve got to think about potential injuries etc, who knows what’s round the corner. If it’s a life changing wage and we get a good price, begrudgingly he’ll go with my blessing (he’ll be pleased to hear I’m sure)

 

[Saddlebrains]

I've heard hes injured

@Skybluebeliever @better days anything?

Injured or ‘injured’?

 

[Saddlebrains]

No actually injured for a good while

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Robins taken a baseball bat to his knees to stop SISU from selling him, clearly

 

[TomRad85]

Haha excellent rumour. Not only do we not have O'Hare playing for us but we don't even get any money cuz he's crocked.
What a start that would be.

Must of been a late injury as he's in yesterdays training pictures

 

[Saddlebrains]

Its probably bullshit, i dont believe it i think it would have been more well known surely?

Yeah, I seriously doubt it’s true. He was training yesterday, and if he got injured they probably wouldn’t know how long he’d be out for already.

 

[Marty]

Is it true that O'Hare has already spoken to Burnley but turned down the money and both clubs are trying to save face by saying they can't agree a fee.

That's not my understanding
Haven't heard anything about any injury either btw

I think Robins said they were also training this morning, don’t know origin of this rumour but possible he wasn’t with them today

 

[Paxman II]

Is it Cornet they are selling? If that deal goes through I fear Kompany will be back with an offer we just can't turn down, which would be sad. Really hope we get a few weeks of the season in before any decision is made. We could have a spanking season and be doing better than Burnley. They may have been in the prem but are a smaller club than Coventry and it all depends on prospects really. There is no guarantee Burnley or us will get promoted, so apart from money would O'Hare be better being the key player for us and wait for other clubs to come calling? But you know it's not the end of the world and there's always other players that suddenly seem ireplaceable happen. Football is a funny old game.

We’re not a bigger club than them - we haven’t been in the top flight for over 20 years and to a whole generation are a lower league club.

Historically and today they are a bigger club

For what is a small town and the clubs around them their support is excellent.

All comes down to what people define as a "big club" I guess. My view is around potential fan base etc. I think there's a difference between a big club and successful club even though one does support the other to an extent in terms of reaching its potential. I always argue that if say a town like Fleetwood got to the prem one day, would that suddenly make them a big club? With a town population of 60k, I'd argue they would struggle. But it's all down to opinions and no right or wrong. I think our potential size is much bigger than Burnley's. But there's no doubting that Burnley have been vastly more successful than we have been over last 20 years.

Didn’t they win the league a couple of times?

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

Yeah when we were promoted to Div 1 with a quarter of their population turning up to games. Pretty impressive really
