Fair enoughGiven the values people said they’d ‘take’ for Gyokeres and Hamer this time last year and compare it to what we’d actually ended getting up with… You’d be surprised what some teams are willing pay.
I’m not going to keep the receipts on this one. We’ll get what we get if we ever decided to move Sheaf on.
If he’s reluctant to make changes it’s because we have a small squad.I think it's more to do with overloading as we run a small squad and have a manager reluctant to make in-game changes.
Sigh, now I find myself arguing against Ben Sheaf, who I think is an excellent player because I think he's 'only' worth £15 million. If you guys think he'd attract more interest than Wharton then crack on I guess. As I say, I hope you're right, but I suspect I am.

Sheaf and Hamer are different styles of midfielder. For me, Sheaf is a better player or is more important to the team. £8m is a nonsense bid and he is worth 15-20m easily in todays market. The amount of attacks he breaks up, second balls he wins and link play is consistently immense. And he gets a few goals.
£15 million is absolute top end for me, no way anyone is paying more for a 25 year Championship midfielder with no Prem experience. It would hurt but I'd probably take it too, could do some serious damage with those funds added to the pot.

The reason Wharton went for more than we could get for Sheaf wasn't because he is 'currently' better, but purely because of his potential.
Shit really? Add another £5 millionPlayed 1min in the Europa League m8

Premiere League Clubs spending was down £715 million this January window compared to last season. It is not a given it will be any different in the summer?
Maybe, but if I knew my players were playing a lot of minutes I'd make the changes even if I wasn't totally happy about it because it's better to have a lower quality player on for 20-30 miutes than having to have them play half a dozen games or more because the better player got injured.If he’s reluctant to make changes it’s because we have a small squad.
From what I’ve seen of Lati in midfield he doesn’t cut it. I’m not sure what his best position is.Lati, Eccles and Torp could be a good strong midfield 3 with Kelly, Lati and Allen as back up. We are ok.
Pretty sure he was out exactly same stage of last season for about 7-8 games and it didn’t do us too much harm… let’s hope history repeats itself.He’ll be back fresh for the run in, and our second trip to Wembley of the season.

The reality is the squad and Robins have really done well and overachieved so far this season. As soon as we loose a key player or 2 we will struggle. We are where we are just need to get behind them.
Lati can do a job in midfield and right/centre back. Always good to have a utility player like that.From what I’ve seen of Lati in midfield he doesn’t cut it. I’m not sure what his best position is.

Doubt it barring a ridiculous offer or Gyokeres failing to leaveI think everyone will now agree, Sheaf is our best player and the heart beat of our side.
Even when playing under par he is far superior to Eccles and Lati, both on and off the ball.
There's no coincidence that our performances and tempo have dropped off considerable once he got injured. Torp is a fabulous player, but he doesn't do what Sheaf does. They will make a great partnership.
He'll be a huge loss if he goes in the summer

I do wonder if our ambitions match his. I would have thought he will want to try his luck in the Premier League and he must be starting to doubt that it will happen here.Doubt it barring a ridiculous offer or Gyokeres failing to leave
Wouldn’t blame him, but contract situation is in our favour for now.I do wonder if our ambitions match his. I would have thought he will want to try his luck in the Premier League and he must be starting to doubt that it will happen here.
I think he’s a really good player but his lack of pace would be an issue in the Premier but I wouldn't be surprised if he thought he was up to it.There will be a lot of interest in the summer I'm sure.
He could easily do a job in the Premier League and I'd imagine he will soon decide it's time to move on.

Both Sheaf and Torp are our main men in midfield and it’s a bloody shame they have hardly played together.imo opinion we need couple of big tough guy additions in the departmentsI think everyone will now agree, Sheaf is our best player and the heart beat of our side.
