O'Hare bids (6 Viewers)

[chiefdave]

Interesting…

Have Burnley agreed a deal for the player?

No, although the Clarets are understood to have come back with renewed bids for O’Hare, CoventryLive understands that they have not yet met City’s valuation to trigger a conversation.

What’s Coventry’s valuation for the player?

CoventryLive understands that City will not entertain a deal unless it runs towards double figures, so at the top end of the £9-£10million scale.

Has O’Hare spoken to Burnley or agreed personal terms?

No, players are not allowed to speak to buying clubs until given permission by their own club to do so. Until City accept a bid for O’Hare, or any other player for that matter, they are not officially allowed to discuss personal terms including wages and length of contract with another club.

Well that can't be right, don't they check this thread. Its all agreed and he's going for £6m.

What always amuses me during these long drawn out transfer sagas is the amount of fully grown men who feel the need to post made up stories to appear ‘ITK’ …

 

[MAFF]

I really hope he stays but gotta say £10m for O'Hare would be pretty hilarious

 

[Nick]

Nobody said that, Huddersfield fans will likely be pretty pissed off as was their manager who resigned last week

Yeah but Robins has been going to walk every season since he has been here.

Think somewhere around £8m - £10m (plus add ons/sell on) is probably about right to be honest.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

A bid hasn’t been accepted yet then and isn’t on his way to Burnley as we were told last night? Hence why he’s still training with us

Can't believe overson lied

Not sure BD necessarily said it had all been agreed, but that it would happen. I'm fine with it as long as we get the right price and reinvest.

Oh right, well anyone on here could say that!

Ultimately what really gets a deal going is how much cash we get upfront. £3m upfront on a deal going to potentially £9m isn’t as attractive as £5m upfront going to £9m. Any deals that are ‘potentially’ is risky. No guarantees Burnley will get promoted and CoH gets international caps (as an example).

 

[Jamesimus]

FFS @Greggs!

 

[Samo]

£10m for COH would be great business.

That entirely depends on where the money ends up.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

and CoH gets international caps (as an example).

Let’s hope he has some Scottish in his family then. ROI enquired but he isn’t eligible for them

 

[Briles]

Imagine if he didn’t go, Every female Cov fan will want his babies!!

If he doesn't go the pressure on him to perform would be enormous (un deservedly)

Being paid £9m in installments is different from £9m subject to conditions. The former is fine unless you need the cashflow. The latter is less attractive.

It all sounds like we’re holding strong on the best deal for us as a club.

Could use this to our advantage with regard to some kind of academy breeding programme

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Yep. Apparently they won't be reinvesting any of the O'Brien/Toffolo fees.

Granted they're not like for like replacements but fees have been paid for Rudoni (around £1m) and Kasumu (compensation).

 

[jordan210]

When Burnley ask for the price of COH

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Nixon has his knockers on here but he’s reporting no fee agreed too

Is Cornet leaving them a done deal / close? Not really been following that one.

 

[junglej13]

Does sound like Burnley need to get some money for Cornet first. Think he has just gone to Portugal on their pre-season tour.

Aparently Everton were in for him but they wanted a loan to buy which Burnley rejected (makes sense now if they need the money for O'Hare)

But tbf it is Nixon so I wouldn't be surprised if O'Hare ends up leaving this afternoon

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Championship spend to date: 42.8m (not counting undisclosed obviously)

Yeah saw there were a few decent sized transfers but overall on the list that I saw on SSN, the majority were Free or Loans.

I wonder how that figures compare season on season as well?

 

[skybluegod]

He has a relatively cheap release cause in his contract, imagine he will go just a case of when.

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

No. Everton initially made a loan enquiry but Burnley are only listening to permanent offers that match Cornet's buy-out clause apparently - which is £17.5m. A few clubs are interested but I'd question whether they'll pay that.

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

Why? If someone offered you 3 x your salary for 3 or 4 years to do the same job and would make you for life, would you take it?

Anyone who says they wouldn’t is a liar.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Has it been reported why their manager left yet, fall out over transfers?

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

That's exactly how players talk to each other when one of them gets a big offer Hobo
Especially at our level where almost all of them will have to find another job when they finish playing
What would any of us do in their shoes?

We would take the money. Good luck to the kid If I ever bump in to him I will wish him luck and say thanks for everything.

Everybody is after a Cornet in this weather

I'd imagine so. Difficult to improve on last season when two of your best players have been sold and little has been made available for him this summer. That certainly would've been a big factor in him choosing to resign.

Thought he did a decent job there but can’t imagine he’s going to get a Prem job? Maybe will find somewhere back in his native

That MR hasn’t resigned fills me with hope about finances/investment.

i recognise I may be deluded.

I'm not so confident. I think Robins is fully aware of the constraints he's under and within reason will choose to stay regardless.

I think he's Cypriot so he obviously won't go back there but I'd imagine he'd have plenty of offers in the Championship as the season progressed and managers dropped off or perhaps in Europe.
