I disagree with the notion that COH is the ‘heart and soul’ of the team.
He’s done really well to come back and improve his output following a nasty ACL injury. He’s also clearly a well liked member of the squad and it’s nice to see he’s built a bond with players like MVE.
That all said, I think he was playing better before his injury, albeit with less output (G/A contributions) and can’t imagine his potential suitors would be better than us at this stage. There will be better clubs in for him, but without the promise of consistent first team football.
Overall, we should offer the contract and stick to our guns on it. The decision whether to sell this window or not will be down to the likelihood he’ll re-sign and how much we’re likely to make the playoffs.
Nah, you put me in my place good and proper, and I'll never believe anything on any internet site in future (including this one)
You obviously are far superior in intellect and knowledge, so I'll bow to that in future.
Happy New Year, pal.
It would seem that more & more people seem to be aware of the impending loss of Callum O’Hare , at the end of the season.
He has asked for X amount & Deadly Doug Mk 2 ( remember the villa one ? ) is peeing about, instead of getting him signed up & the continued harmony inside our camp .
We have the added gate receipts & tills jingling from the club shop , so we are on an upward curve , but how would the loss of a player the calibre of Callum go down with the fans ?
'About to lose heartbeat of the club?". Are the fans leaving? Sorry, COH is a good player with a promising future, but we have lost much better players in the past and survived. He would struggle to get in the starting 11 of transfers.

I personally think he’s got the tools to play in the PL, and in the summer he may get the opportunity, albeit for a club that will be down the bottom. Equally though, I agree that we’ll be well placed to have a really good go next season, so definitely a decision for him to make.
Pre injury O'Hare's dynamism, stamina, movement and awareness were his strengths. He was never quick over distances. Since his return the quality of his end product has been better, which is impressive considering the length of time without playing. His tenacity isn't at the same level but maybe this enables him to bring better quality in the final third.
Robins has always spoken so highly of him so I imagine it would be a big loss if he left. Hopefully, something sensible can agreed, taking into account his playing potential and his injury potential.
Find the money, he finds space and shows for the ball all the time, the others that get name like Tats and Palmer cannot play like him in that role and he is vital to the rest of this season and whether we make the play offs or not.
Phenomenal talent we are watching right now.
He either stays or goes. There's fuck all we can do about it. We will no doubt continue to thrive even if he does go. The only irreplaceable member of this group is Robin's.
