I'm not sure he would count as Eastern European unless someone isn't very good at Geography.
Edit: forgot he plays for Azerbaijan, which is technically Eastern European. He's German really though with Azeri family.

Glad he's signed, hopefully he'll be here for a good few years.
One of the big differences between the Championship and League One is squad churn. Felt like we had a different team every season after we got relegated so it'll be nice to have a bit of consistency.

A fair point, I thought I heard he is Azerbaijani, but I see he was born in Germany. Apologies

Yeah, you're right. Edited my post above. Think it could be him, makes sense.

If he can kick on from last season he will be an excellent player in the Championship; a real game turner. I think we need good back up for kelly a that’s the midfield sorted.
I like the look of kelly, Hamer, Allen and O’Hare with Shipley, Westbrook and ANO pushing for places.
A solid keeper back up, LWB, central defender and a couple of strikers (Dadoshev looks like one...so would like the other to be a target man/ball holder) and Robins will have the job done.

This signing is massive...and I'm trying to weigh up if it's big enough to forgive Sisu yet? Well big enough to give sisu a capital 'S' again I guess! Magic stuff!!! We are Coventry City and WE ARE BACK!!

Actually I heard Kazakhstan but this wasn't certain (I know it's in Asia) but didn't want to be too specific so said Eastern Europe
As the person I heard it from is not well traveled it's perfectly possible it's the Wolves guy from Azerbaijan
We'll see soon enough

Good business this. Hopefully he develops, gets spotted and we make good cash selling him on. We want to chip a bit of cash in to cover the trading deficit, and buy one or two replacements.
We need young tyros like O'Hare, not all the old codgers like Collins, Fox and Madden being suggested elsewhere. Shame it looks like Blackpool have nabbed Dennis Politic

Also it means we have filled two of the three potential gaps in what was our best starting eleven last season. Walsh has gone but we have Hamer for that slot. O'Hara retained. Now we just need a better replacement for Sam MacM than Mason. And we haven't used our loan options yet although one seems imminent.

incredible. Over the moon with this, really didn’t think we’d have a chance of getting him in all honesty. Some talent and adds bulk to what is looking like a really strong midfield. Can’t see us adding anyone else in this area. Focus on the striker next!

Well this is a pleasant surprise.

Btw I heard a while back that O'Hare was unlikely to come so I think is another example of how the club is on the up
Remember all the players we were linked with who decided to take other offers in recent seasons?

Maybe a signing on fee rather than upset the wages applecart?

Does this mean that we offered him more than Villa, or is it just he knew he would be in the first team here ?

Probably similar money longer contract though he might of only been offered another year there

It's a very welcome surprise, must admit I'd written this one off. Hopefully some more to come under the radar.

He seems to have his head screwed on and a genuine affinity for the club... I reckon we have given him a good release clause in case we go down and it gives him a starting role each week in the championship to push on

How is it negative or snide?. It is really good business and all football clubs are businesses. Spare me the emotion. It has been our business success over the last three years that partly explains the rise. Robbins rarely buys duds.
Please don't kid yourself. It is highly unlikely that we will do anything other than struggle in the Championship. We have the second lowest budget and success basically follows the money the higher you go up the ladder. O'Hara is potentially a building block. Hopefully, he helps us secure safety in the Championship, we sell him a good profit this funds the next step. One of the consistent features of Robbins mark 2 is that the quality of incomings has improved each year. Hopefully that will continue.
It's basically what we have been doing for the last three years, so why stop.

Fantastic signing for us and for Callum O'Hare too. He's earned this contract with his 110% commitment to our cause. He makes our attack considerably more threatening with his skilful play, assists and goals.

You are right, I misread the comment as a shot at sisu and actually deleted the comment when I realised, so apologies
I would also factor in length of contract, particularly in these uncertain times. Aston Villa might have been offering him £12k a week (a figure I’ve plucked out the air), but only on a one year contract, where he is possibly going to be making very few first team appearances. Who knows what impact Coronavirus will have on player availability next year. With this three year contract, even at half of what Villa had offered, he has a lot of security and he knows he will likely be playing a lot for us. He also knows that we would be unlikely to stand in his way of moving to a bigger club
