I think it's a good point. Burnley have arguably given their game away showing so much interest and with Kompany openly speaking about O'Hare. This should give us very decent negotiating power and we should push them hard for as much as possible.I would say a fee of £10m, some in instalments fair enough, and stacked with add ons. We know they have the money, we know they really want him, we know he’s not agitating to leave so let’s extract as much as we can.
If it’s 6m and only wages to replace him then that gives some 11/12 vibes along with some serious fan unrest.
Well according to my mate who had a chat with Overson today its £6 million.
Only delay is Burnley want to do it in installments and we want it in full whack.
Oh and not a penny of it is going to Robins for reinvestment
If thats the case, then thats the last 5 years of fan support gone in one move. I for one would stop sticking up for the owners if so
And they are two of our highest earners I believe so if we covered say 50% of their wage for a year that could cover a decent signing or twoAs I read the situation yes
I don't get it myselfThe anti-Boddy brigade are really weird
It's not the wages, there's no way I can see us replacing O'Hare on a free transferThink he’s been clear that the wages will be available
Counter to that is that selling all 3 at the same time may cause a worse fan reaction, and the turnover would create greater risk.
It's not, O'Hare is a £10m playerNot saying we should be selling as we are hardly in dire straights and desperate, however, 6m for Ohare is about his market value tbh

I'd be adding a couple of million onto the price for the attempt to unsettle. Disrespectful.On Callum O'Hare: "I'm all for transparency. I would rather not lie but these things are hard until they are done, they can still go wrong. We think he is a great player, and we think he would be great for us but is a deal done, no."

I get the whole off the ball argument and agree he is one of the best for it but his actual attacking output is pretty poorIt's not, O'Hare is a £10m player

Are they the polar opposite of anti-vaxxers?The anti-Boddy brigade are really weird
That is right SISU watched city under Richardson and thought that'll work the other way round.Sort of thing that makes a manager walk and its not even the fee .. the no reinvestment part as clearly then we have no model its no different to Brian Richardson apart from the fact that Richardson actually purchased some players before fleecing us
Reading this post is so interesting - some fans want an extortionate amount money for a lad that doesn’t create much and comverts about 1 in 10 chances.
6-8m is about right for who? He’s worth more than that to us, and that’s the figure we should be asking for.Reading this post is so interesting - some fans want an extortionate amount money for a lad that doesn’t create much and comverts about 1 in 10 chances.
Undoubtedly he is a fans favourite for his willingness to run, he is exciting on the ball and he appears to love it here
But football is a money game now.
I for one am interested in who steps up should O’Hare leave - it could create a new way of playing and who knows may make the team more successful - or, according to some it would be the end of the world and we would be relegated by Christmas
Either way, every team is a selling club - including the likes of City and Liverpool - it is what it is.
In addition, I see Boddy getting stick for a transaction that has not even happened yet - we all knew that we would lose one if not two of the ‘big 3’ - I personally think £6 million, maybe rising to £8 million is about right. In any other business buying for free and selling for millions would be praised massively.
Finally, I’m glad that Sheaf appears to have gone under the radar - for me a better, if different player to O’Hare.

It’s not about market value-it’s about the buying club being desperate to land the player and being flush with money as their reward for being relegated. If they’re that keen that the manager publicly tries to unsettle us they can and will pay a bit more.
He’ll also be very difficult to replace-so we need all the money we can get to help do that.
we won’t be charging more just because he’s mentioned it in the press
as if o hare doesn’t know the offer that’s there anyway
I didn’t say we should get rid, don’t twist words to suit the narrative old boy. I said it’s right that Boddy would push the transfer if the amount of money on offer is of an amount that aids the future of the club. I’m actually in agreement with you for the distain of the owners, but unlike you and a few others I just accept it is what it is, there’s far worse out there. And we cut our cloth accordingly. You just just bitch and whinge 24 hours a day and nothing they ever do is the right thing in your eyes. It’s pathetic. But still, I’m the clown eh.
It’s the last trick in the book to put pressure on the club. If you know someone’s desperate to buy you can charge more-simple.
We are the ones who are desperate to sell they won’t be paying more
Be that as it may the point was we can and should push for more.
Its unlikely we can push for anything and if we aren’t careful we will end up with a mcsheffrey debacle at the death selling a player for very little.
If we need to sell the longer we carry on the lower the price will be
Well what leads me to think we can are a) how much Burnley want him and b) how much they have in the bank. Seeing as they already paid 4m for a League 1 player untested at this level, 10 for someone who is already proven isn't unreasonable and I'm not convinced it would put them off.
Irrelevant I suppose if we are already set on the fee and are haggling over getting it all in one sum
It really isn'tI get the whole off the ball argument and agree he is one of the best for it but his actual attacking output is pretty poor

I think if £6m fee is true that it'll be one we come to regret.
