Callum O'Hare Replacement (2 Viewers)

[mmttww]

We've got to accept that even if we get promoted (unlikely), CoH is probs off if he keeps playing like he is.

Palmer will be around so there's a player to compete with whoever comes in. Torp could play there if needed.

as we could go down the Torp and Sakamoto route (value from abroad) or the EMC route (EFL standouts)...

Any SBT scouts have players in mind that could do what he does i.e. press, play in tight areas, create, score?

Sammie Szmodics he's 28 doing quite well in a shit team.... PUSB

Carries on he will be worth 15mill

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Whatever we offered to Callum in wages would go to his replacement.

Pretty comfortable and accepted he will leave unless we go up.

Enjoy him till end of season.

 

[Martin180]

John Swift plays a similar role

 

[Saddlebrains]

We've brought him already

Hes just finishing the season with Peterborough first

Will be interesting to see if EMC plays in the 10 or out wide ….

Hell be off to an established prem team in the summer.

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

I know he's leaving but the squad was looking very..... sexy.

Wright, Simms, Saka, EMC²

Palmer / O'Hare

Torp, Sheaf, Eccles

100% he plays out wide or upfront.

If we go up, he will stay. I have no doubt about that.

Everything I've seen and read has him as a wide player that could cover down the middle. You heard otherwise?

 

[TomRad85]

Jack Rudoni? Kind of player that would continue improving under Robins.

Callum has been electric recently and somehow added an eye for goal to his game whereas previously he snapped at shots. Absolute class right now, plus his ability to galvanise the players around him. The disaster is that we won’t get a fee for him.

 

[mmttww]

Dunno. He's on for 12-15 goals and will be available free. He's also been here a while.

With the options he's likely to have in the PL I'd be surprised if he stayed, even if we went up.

 

[napolimp]

Isn't it a bit odd that we didn't look at a replacement last summer? Considering they likely knew there was a good chance he'd be off, and that would have given a replacement longer to slot in and get up to speed.

To be fair, I don't think we have to accept he'll be off if we get promoted. I'm pretty confident that had we beaten Luton, Vik and Gus would still be here (Gus definitely, maybe not Vik). If we go up, I'm pretty confident he'll stay.

Also, not sure Torp is the sort of player who'd play there. Not from what I've seen so far.

His 'eye for goal' has resulted in 9 goals in 19 games, as opposed to his pre-injury record of 12 goals in 146 games. An astonishing improvement.

Wasn't Thierry Henry a wide player before Arsenal converted him to a striker?

Yeah, but we're talking about someone to replace O'Hare. I don't see EMC being that player.

Not just here, but at all clubs, it’s amazing how some players improve during the last year of their contract. I’m sure it’s a coincidence.

 

[lacesoutdom]

as much as i agree, i think that a team like forest/brentford/palace could just outbid us on wages.

I have a theory that some players, especially those like O'Hare, come back better after a long injury layoff. His style has always been high energy, full throttle, little time to think. I feel like a long time out can calm the mind and build your composure.

 

[slowpoke]

Seems common knowledge on here he is going, but nothing from the player, but should he go I expect Robins to replacement with some not mentioned on here as he did with Torp and EMC, could be foreign my betting if he goes and I want him to stop it will be by a better player.

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

One of the deadline deals I didn’t spot until a few days ago was that Max Bird had joined Bristol City but was loaned back to Derby for the remainder of the season.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Nothing to do with a replacement, but I'd happily throw some £££s at getting Sorba Thomas in. One of the best crossers/dead ball free kick takers in the league. Having Saka, Sorba, Mason Clarke, and Wright available would give us serious attacking options. Don't think Sorba would cost a fortune either, and we'd score from a lot of set plays. Get Binks permanently too.

 

[Evo1883]

Somebody on socials saying the offer that was on the table has been withdrawn ?
Any truth?

 

[ccfc1234]

Torp is an entirely different player to COH. Palmer can play that role but COH is Mr perpetual motion and is always finding space.
Of the players I have seen spoken about on this forum Koki Saito from Japan and mentioned by @AFCCOVENTRY looks the most likely but I would not put it past robins t9 do something different and go to a 442 formation.

Still hoping he signs and completes the job of getting us to the top flight.

It's probably more BS to get likes/followers

Even if it is true, just means the club can offer a new deal between now and the end of the season.

And we’d have been paying two wages……..

Yeah good point, I've not really thought of the mental side of things before. He definitely seems more composed. He comes across so high energy in the behind the scenes stuff I'm sure it's something he has had to work on.

Also it's impossible not to notice he has put on a lot more muscle. He looks a way more sturdy on the ball now which must help with the way some of the defenders in this league act.

Jason Knight was the one I would have wanted the most from that Derby team, knowing we were selling Hamer if he told us he wanted to go after the playoff final he’s the player we should have gone after. Went for £2m and he’s flying at Bristol City, class player

Sounds like a secret agent too

 

[mmttww]

Jack Rudoni?

Don't think I've seen him play live. Looking at age, stats, where he plays, quality of players he's been playing with in this league, I can see this making sense, even if it would underwhelm a lot of folks. If Huddersfield went down he'd not cost too much, either (£2m ish?).

Anyone got a data-based Euro gem to call out?

It only makes sense if he is CoH's replacement. Wright is very expensive and good on the left. Saka is clearly top man on the right. Rotating three of these makes little sense to me. He must be in the first team, but so must Wright and Saka.

Got a feeling Millwall are heading down at this rate which will bring Zian Flemming into play.
