Transfer Rumour Ben Sheaf (25 Viewers)

junglej13 · Sep 3, 2020

Its plausible he could have taken a wage cut to join us next summer in which case Arsenal are making up the shortfall for the next 12 months.

Ccfcisparks · Sep 3, 2020

Loan with an option to buy is even better than a permanent in my opinion. If he isn’t good enough, we don’t sign.

wingy · Sep 3, 2020

According to the initial reports we had a bid accepted.

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?

dailycannon.com

not sure if this has been posted before

Reading that reminds me a lot of Walsh in his first few games for us. Not used to the pace of the division but once he is...

The hold up may have been Arsenal wanted him out permanently, we only wanted a loan, so we’ve met in the middle?

It’s one of three things isn’t it?

we’re not 100% on him
He’s not 100% on us
We are waiting for Wilson to go to have the cash
Edit: 4) Were going to replace him with Liam Walsh after we get promoted.

Here's hoping it works out and 750k pretty darn cheap for a premier league team!

jordan210 · Sep 3, 2020

Seams like best of both worlds. If he is amazing we get him for a bargain price. If he doesn't fit in we haven't lost anything. win win for us

SlowerThanPlatt · Sep 3, 2020

How do they actually work? I thought if another club match it he can speak to them? Can’t remember who but happened to another club

Loan ? Strange thought it was a perm

Evo1883 · Sep 3, 2020

Could work out well, bad season don't buy... Good season its a steal

SlowerThanPlatt · Sep 3, 2020

There’s an obligation to buy and then an option to buy, I think the second one is free for all if other clubs match it

If it's an obligation to buy then it would have just made sense to buy him surely... Hmmm
Maybe we don't actuly have the money yet, or maybe city want another permanent and can use that money now... Who knows

Just a thought, but could sheaf’s signing all hinge on Callum Wison’s Departure from Bournemouth?
It would explain the ridiculous drawn out saga.

You do realise signings take time dont you, it's not like FIFA or football manager

cc84cov · Sep 3, 2020

His dream is to play for Arsenal maybe he didn’t want a permanent move & wanted a loan how do these things work ? Can the player refuse even tho we have an agreement on a loan to buy deal ?

I thought this was a nailed on perm maybe this is why it’s Been dragged out 750k fee reportedly agreed I thought

Strange

SlowerThanPlatt · Sep 3, 2020

Fulham have just signed Lemina from Southampton on loan and are obligated to sign him if they avoid relegation and plays 20 games

cc84cov · Sep 3, 2020

I don’t see us spending anymore after this even if Wilson goes robins will want some money for the mid season transfer window

Knowing city we will have something like that and stop playing him after 19 lol

Evo1883 · Sep 3, 2020

I trust the club, know better than me on this so il just say welcome Ben

fernandopartridge · Sep 3, 2020

The option is probably first refusal at a fee already agreed

Rumours he wanted first team football guarantees? Maybe this is a similar deal where he has said of he plays X amount of games & we avoid relegation

covcity4life · Sep 3, 2020

If it's a dry loan does that mean we ca expext more signings?

Didn't robins say 3 maybe 1 depending on budget? Now that it's not perm it may mean room for manoeuvre?

covcity4life · Sep 3, 2020

Ffs we should have secured the permanent move lol

shmmeee · Sep 3, 2020

Certainly an upgrade on Kelly when it comes to hitting it from the edge of the box

If I had the video editing skills and patience I’d love to try and do one of these for god awful players and see how good you can make them look. I always wonder. He does look class though.

This in one seasons highlights, not gathered over years.

White Patrick viera

Evo1883 · Sep 3, 2020

As long as he can pass and tackle, don't care

as long as it is not a definite commitment to buy being descibed as an "option"

fatso · Sep 3, 2020

Maybe it a loan initially due to financial fair play rules.
We’ve already spent more money than we expected sisu to spend, so a loan for 12 months makes sense.

SeaSeeEffCee · Sep 3, 2020

Assuming the option to buy is our favour this sounds like a very good deal. He either comes in and doesn’t fit and goes back or has a good season and make 750k looks like a bargain.

Go ask a grown up.

Gibbo · Sep 3, 2020

There is now genuine competion for many places in the team - if all fit and even you exclude those clearly designated as cover, like Baka.

Four central defenders for 3 slots, three central midfielders for 2 slots, two strikers for one slot. Potentially four for the two flank positions up front. It looks like only Marosi, Dabo and Giles are not under pressure.
