Shame. His wages could be used nicely elsewhere.

O’hare’s Definitely going right?

I'd be amazed if he doesn't go tbh.

Yeah, me too. It’s rubbish but hopefully we’ll get a couple of quid for him and buy a decent replacement.

I don't know think he'll go on a free.
I'd have offered him a new contract when he got injured. The kid is dynamite

We won’t get anything if he leaves in the summer…
I wouldn’t mind Doug dipping into the piggy bank and splurging a bit on a contract offer. As much for his status as a fan favourite as his football ability.

Where to? Listening to him on CWR driving home last night he loves being in the local area with his mates. I know money talks but I think if the offer is decent, he will stay.

Depends on his performances. He was all but off to Burnley before he got injured.

O’Hare doing the right thing 100% get himself fit, back in the squad half hour here half hour there, back to 2022. levels. Contract talks next fully focused.
Don’t see a problem.

If he goes he will leave with the same level of respect and feeling towards him by fans that Hamer got and gets. He sounds a real good lad and someone who has always give his all to the team. It will not be an easy decision for him, but in my opinion he will get an offer that we will be unable to match.
We can probably offer a very good contract and guarantee playing time, but im not sure that will be enough. We just have to enjoy what he gives us now and hope we reach his ambition to be able to offer the contract his talent deserves. We have been lucky to have seen him grow and develop into a very special player he is.
Wish the lad every success no matter what his future holds.

He's only been back five minutes, far too early to decide he's definitely going or staying!

I’d put him on par with Vik levels of respect rather than Hamer.

We have been lucky to see Vik, Hamer and COH all 3 are very special players that don't come round very often. Credit to Robins and his staff for seeing it and developing it.

Worth noting with O'Hare when he came to us on a free we wouldn't have been his only option at that point, so he didn't cost us anything in the first place either.

Thought Bidwell's contract up at the end of the season too. The way he's playing at the moment he deserves a new one. Please!

O’Hare has the option to just let his contract run down and pick a decent offer from elsewhere. Just enjoy watching a talented player while we can

Nah. Vik was up front, lying about not being offered a new contract and giving it the old love the club shtick is much more Gus.

And neither are club ones TBF but he’s got far more reason to lie about it.

Generally murmurings seem to indicate O'Hare will be off and sounds like Burnley were prepared to pretty much treble (or more) his wages here last summer. The one thing that may go in our favour with him having missed pretty much a years football is simply the fact he will play here.

Wants £25k+ it seems. Dunno what he’s on.

Whatever he signed before was 'unsustainable'.

Under Sisu every contract was unsustainable TBF.

25+ is too much. I love O'Hare but we can't go offering him that sort of money after a year out injured.
There must be a way to structure a shorter term deal (1.5 years added?) with the proviso we look again a bigger wage boost in the summer or add an easier exit if a suitable offer comes in end of the season. Something that covers us for losing him for free but also covered him if he breaks down again but allows him to gain fitness and sharpness and prove his value.
I know Haji will be on a fair whack but that will always be the case with big money signings. O'Hare has had 1 good game after a year out.

Was specifically said by Mr Believer though, that the contracts he and Hamer signed were expressly with a view to somebody being flogged to pay for the others. Now tbf we have done the flogging, but how far upwards we have to go...?

Id argue if we’ve got £25k/wk to chuck at Haji Wright and we haven’t for O’Hare then Doug needs some budgeting lessons. £1.3M/year or £3.9m over three with the possibility of making more than that back. Frankly I’d rather spend that than £5m on a CM of those are the options.

There's arguably more risk with O'Hare after a serious injury or two. Par to what he's currently on seems fair, maybe with some healthy performance related bonuses so if he stays fit he gets his rise as such, but it's a risk to give a wage rise just after a return from such a serious layoff.

25k/w is 1.3m a year. £3.9m for 3 years or £5.2 for 4.
You think we can replace even his previous output for that sort of money (fee+wages)?

25 grand a week would get you a lot, certainly wouldn't be happy if we signed a bloke who has just returned from 18 months out for that sort of money. Imagine the outrage.

Relies on the right free agent being available though... and comes with the same risk as any other new player.
