Callum O'Hare

He's bang on in his interview. Still as we have a better footballer in Palmer, we won't miss him will we...

Said it before, but we really should be looking to get a significant fee for Palmer from the PL this summer to reinvest across the squad.

It was clear something happened in January, just after his flurry of goals and return to form. Either someone came in with an offer, and the club rejected it, or he told the club he was definitely leaving at the end of the season, and Robins benched him as a result of that.

I tend to believe the former. Either way Robins did drop him.

It was clear (to me anyway) O'Hare's body language then changed (when he played). I don't think his performances were necessarily bad, but less intense.

When we lost the Man U game, and O'Hare is clapping the fans, Robins consoles him, and O'Hare's face tells a thousand words, almost like he doesn't want to hear it.

Fair play to Robins. Stuck to his principles. Fergie would of done the same.

Well that would make you wonder why not accept any offer?
 
I left a company once to go to a competitor to do EXACTLY the same work but for more money, quite a substantial amount more.

I very quickly realised what a mistake I'd made and plucked up the courage and contacted the previous company and asked if I could go back.

I went back, rode out the ribbing from colleagues got my head down and within twelve months got promotion with a far bigger salary.

Moral of the story........isn't greener other grass the side on

As fatso said in the above message regarding why COH didn't sign the new contract on the table, he was on 10k a week and the club's new offer was 11k and then reluctantly raised to 12k. Of course he didn't accept that, why would he when he could get twice as much somewhere else? On top of that, Robins continually left him on the bench in favour of Palmer. That told him we didn't want him enough and he moved on.

MR wanted O'hare to stay, C.O. was on £10k a week and DK offered £11k which was instantly rejected. The offer eventually got increased to £12k a week take it or leave it, but by that time O'hare's agent had received offers from other championship sides of double that offer so the club were informed that CO was leaving. (This all happened before Rudoni was signed)

Apparently AV was fuming that we hadn't made an effort to keep O'hare, and he and DK had a blazing row, DK said that we'd paid O'hare a fortune over the 12 months that he was injured and was reluctant to end up in a Jodie Jones situation.

That's what I've been told, if you choose not to believe it that's fine, if you'd sooner I not post what I've heard then just say so and I'll keep it to myself, but I don't need some random total bell end like @shepard01 giving me grief over info I've offered to genuine fans.

Incidentally, DK got Oly Dovins transfer fee halved, in order to meet his wage demands which apparently put him up there with the highest paid players at the club.

With that kind of salary he could buy up two adjoining bars on the Benidorm front instead of just one and knock them together to create a really enormous egg and chips emporium, bigger than before.

Poor form with snarky comments like 'I was taken out the team', he was taken out the team cause he made it abundantly clear he was going to leave and because you could count on one hand how many times he bust a gut after the Leicester game last season

Fuck him

No Callum O'HARE you F**KED up!

You were hoping to get a Big Pay Day with a Premier League Club, But it didn't Materialize, and had to Settle for the Next Best thing in Sheffield United.

Callum, just be honest, it's all about Money 🤑 and we would have more Respect for you.
 
His form fell off a cliff from January onwards, so he got benched. He’s also not fooling anyone if they think that Sheff Utd was his preferred destination all along-as with Hamer they were probably the only show in town.

Doesn’t make us better off with another year of Kasey Palmer though.
 
I reiterate, I have no issues with O'Hare leaving, but this chafes my crack a little. It's clear he left because he believed he would have offers from Premier League teams, or teams abroad, whilst maximising his earnings - completely fair - but when this didn't happen, he signed for the team who offered him the best contract, even if it was a massive sideways move, hence signing for Sheffield Utd.

However, he has attempted to turn a situation on its head and claim it was lack of playing time that drove him away, that is being disingenuous at best, lying at worst. But if that is his prerogative, that's his right, I wish him the best but would have a strange satisfaction to see us go up whilst Sheffield Utd finish in mid-table obscurity.

No players are ever going to mention money in regards to moving clubs. He's in his first week there, would be odd for him to say it was a contract dispute why he left and he's there now for the pay rise. It's generic bland player interview stuff of wanting as much game time as possible and hunger to play, that's what fans want to hear from a new signing.

"So, Callum, welcome to Sheffield United. I'm sure you're glad to get the deal over the line; what was it that attracted you to the club?"

"Thank you; very glad to be here, and looking forward to meeting all the lads and getting ready for the season. I was coming to the end of my contract, and I thought that I'd done pretty well, but the club didn't want to take the risk of a long contract on big money due to a previous injury, so I turned their offer down in anticipation of an upwards move. Turned out that only clubs at the same level were interested, though, so I went for the one who forked out the most cash. Seemed sensible, really!"

Don't disagree, because I didn't at any point suggest O'Hare should be completely candid on what happened, but shouldn't misrepresent the contract situation either.

How did he misrepresent it though?
 
You’d think he’d knocked it out the park for three straight seasons only to be hooked out the team. We had a few goals at the turn of the year and some eye catching celebrations. Anyway, we don’t need to judge. Where he’s ended up has done that.

Ah well , lads come across as a right prick and has tarnished his time here , fuck him the jumped up brummy c**t

How so? By saying a non descript "things happened and I was taken out of the team"? Isn't that factual? He's not alluded to anything or blamed anyone

I don't know why this has been taken as gospel from Dawkins. The same man who claimed callum turned down 100 grand a week in the MLS.

To go to Sheffield

The offer was 18k a week and he still turned his nose up
 
MR always said he wanted Callum to stay. Was it the last game he said he still hoped to persuade him. He rested O'Hare because he had a terrible injury and letting him play every game would be detrimental to his health. Also his form dropped and he may have been average in training.
Most players wants to play every game.

If we believe it, his form collapsed due to fatigue and the cup run

No he clearly throws a snide remark about being took out the team , we have eardrums , you're choosing to ignore it .. most aren't

How is it snide? He was taken out of the team, that's a fact. More than anything, he looks uncomfortable talking about it.

I will be the first to stand up and clap when he scores against us.

It’s the done thing since McSheffrey for Scunthorpe.

The worst ever was when Andy Morrell scored against us at the Ricoh. Loads of our fans clapped the goal. Fucking weird.
