Sorry if I've missunder stood but do you mean weird keeping sheaf out of the side?

Yeah, we’ve got an obligation to buy Sheaf and while I like James and think he’s better I don’t think he’s so vital that we needed him ahead of other positions. Less so in a three than two are the base though.

Not that I don’t like James, just we’ve invested in Sheaf and it seems weird to cut off his route to the team.

Gotcha :)

But James isn't a replacement for sheaf though, he is for Kelly and as shown the last two games they can play together in a three with hamer (very successfully I may add)

Do we have an obligation to buy sheaf?

Thought it was an option

Sort of. I think him and James are too similar and I suspect if Shipley was on form, or we had the ability to sign a Walsh, he wouldn’t be playing. Sheaf hasn’t played more than about 70 mins at a time since James signed.

If we signed De Bruyne too we wouldn’t the playing Sheaf. These Walsh rumours have come from nowhere. The fact you think he would start Shipley over sheaf too is laughable

You think the left side of the three is a DM role? I think it’s clear it’d be better with a CM there. Yeah I think the fact Shipley has come on both games to play there suggests he’d play Shipley there.

Sheaf isn’t an out and out DM. At Doncaster he played as more of a box to box midfielder with Whiteman sitting. If Shipley was a better fit there, Robins would have started him there. But he’s not, so he hasn’t.

Good call!

We need someone chomping at the bit and I reckon a new challenge would give him something to get his teeth stuck into.

He'd eat defenders for breakfast in the Championship.

To be honest it’s the signs of the times. Or a signing of the times. The owners are a busted flush and have to be forced out while the club is in this league. They are finished and have to go

We can’t have an obligation that’s nonsense

It's increasingly common these days due to budget constraints.

Can work for both clubs. If you want to sign a player or they only want the player to move permanently but the budgets don't allow for it, it could make a deal happen that otherwise wouldn't. Similarly the player may not want to go out on loan so an obligation smoothes that out.

I assume it's more to do with wage budgets than transfer fees, as you could surely agree a permanent transfer and say first payment due in a year. Wages I imagine it's harder to get the selling team to cover wages for a year.

Sky Blues have 'obligation' not 'option' to buy Ben Sheaf

Arsenal midfielder Ben Sheaf has become Coventry City's ninth summer signing

Well it’s not then is it? And it’s pretty obvious if we don’t want him we refuse to play the requisite number of games. It’s not the same as Clarke Harris or Jones when we paid loan fees to ensure a transfer

This is more like the Blair Adams situation when he never played 50 games for the club
