Callum contract offer (23 Viewers)

[Matt smith]

The only answer is B. No player is indispensable. We can get a good replacement. We are a team not a one man show. This is a long term game with anything achieved this year a bonus.

The only answer is A I’m sorry

Having COH till the end of the season is a 2 million pound risk worth taking

will it happen? Absolutely not, I’m sure he’ll be sold, but it’ll stop us this year from doing anything and it’ll be mid table IF we don’t sign a replacement

It all comes through him

He's not being re released into the wild like an injured wildebeest is he

How am I going to erase that thought every time he rolls around after a nasty challenge?

a lot on here forget what happened at radio 1 weekend when ohare came on stage. hes good mates with dawkins so he’ll be more privy to whats going on than most. the club have offered a measly contract. most would say no to it. no negotiations either. fans shouldnt be happy with how the club have dealt with this. ohare is one of the best players in the league. should be offered a wage to reflect that. end of

A misely contract offer you say. How much have they offered ??

T-t-t-t-t-tom?

M-m-m-m-m-mr Dawkins?

Hellllooo?

 

[Matt smith]

If we lose him to a fellow championship side I think that’s a poor look from us when we’re going for the play offs.

Where the fuck did this come from

Nobody knows anything about what’s been offered. You don’t half just conjure some shite up sometimes

He never misses an opportunity to moan

Funny how you only crawl out from under your rock when it’s to report on something negative about the club from your ‘sources’.

Can’t recall the last time I saw you pop up in the match thread, player ratings thread, positive news thread etc. etc.

King for me needs to stop the play off lip service but not wanting to pay the cash in wages for the players that can get you there

It’s pretty clear they both get their ‘info’ from someone at the club who is bitter about the takeover.

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

Christ alive, have we learnt nothing from the summer? We have no evidence at all that Callum is off and yet we are still in meltdown. Have a bloody day off

They need something to whinge about to keep them going

All gutted that SISU left (sort of)

 

[Deleted member 5849]

My first question would be if any offer is less than his current contract or not.

Now I need to know what happened at the Radio 1 weekend.

 

[napolimp]

I'm sure O'hare will have offers on the table from multiple clubs this month. He'll either want to stay, or he'll sign for someone else and be off in the summer. I doubt we'll know anything for a while. Hopefully his contribution through the rest of the season will lead to something positive on the pitch.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Has anyone thought Callum might actually want a move after being here 4 years? Very rare do players commit to a club for such a long time these days.

 

[SBT]

Seems more and more likely that a short-term deal with some very favourable release clauses is the way to go here.

 

[robbiethemole]

ha ha , yes I think somewhere i doubled it -

25k x 52 = 1.3m x 3years =3.9m!!

No brainer, we wouldn't replace him for that, get him signed asap Doug!!!!

 

[Robinshio]

3.9m but add at least 30% on costs NI/Pension etc

 

[Greggs]

Doesn't he still live at home with his parents? Surely that must be through choice?!

 

[Winny the Bish]

Don't agree that he's one of the best players in the league. Is he even a Top 5 attacking midfielder when you've got Summerville, Szmodics, Rutter and more?

Do agree that he's a very important player to us, but no one is bigger than the team and if he goes I trust the scouting system to find a good replacement.

 

[skybluecam]

My first question would be if any offer is less than his current contract or not.

I can answer that one for you, it's obviously going to be for more.

 

[rockwoodfleet]

You gotta love Dawkins. Not happy when the executive box prices went up when he was paying around a third of what they were worth and now telling Doug to pay Callum what he is worth.

 

[better days]

I'd guess our initial offer is based on a decent (increased) salary and signing on fee plus heavy appearance and other incentive payments
That's what I'd expect in the circumstances
Other (PL) clubs might want to take the risk of offering a much bigger signing on fee and guaranteed salary as they won't have to pay a transfer fee if COH's contract runs down
Not an easy decision

 

[better days]

Possibly, I'm not too sure. I can't imagine we were paid out for O'Hare's last ACL injury? Would be interesting to know.

Clubs generally don't insure players against injury. The premiums would be astronomical
Many players have career ending insurance but these days most (younger) players recover from ACL injuries and play again

I would love Summerville as an add on to COH though not a replacement.

So what’s he been offered for you to say it’s that measly if you’re so much in the know.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

[skybluecam]

Mbappe on a free would be decent too

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

Completely agree. This is why I was suggesting on the other thread that we should stick a 1 year extension in front of him with a promise not to stand in his way if we don't go up.

He’d be absolutely crazy to sign that. We can’t stand in his way if we don’t go up now.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Tbf, on this occasion Dawkins is actually very good friends with Callum through Grennan so he probably does have a fair idea

He should know better than to resolve contract issues in public then shouldn’t he

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

What can we afford then in your opinion ?

One of the top earners for me with some shared risk of only recently returning from a long term career threatening injury

I think clearly he can expect to be offered a more long term deal and higher wages at the end of the season so I fear he won’t sign and will be sold and replaced this January
