Transfer Rumour Oliver Dovin (4 Viewers)

[Otis]

And we have the potential for a transfer bomb. According to Sportbladet, Coventry City has chosen Hammarby IF goalkeeper Oliver Dovin as its main transfer target

The Swede was born in London and is one of the most talented goalkeepers in the country. Valued at EUR 2.5 million.

My main concern is, if he was born in London, will he be able to speak English.

He likely wont want to move on because no one will offer him a 3 year deal on the money we’re paying.

To terminate we’d have to reach an agreement with him, which would involve paying him money.

Let’s say he’s on 10k a week, 10000*52*3 =£1.5m. We’d probably have to pay him a million quid at least to leave.

Or you could just offer him to the market as a free transfer

We will undoubtedly be signing one and spending big if the Stamenic debacle was something to go off of. Probably recalibrating targets or working out a deal with a secondary target. Not worried one bit.

Pipe dream but Kuryu Matsuki got left out of japans Olympic squad as a transfer is imminent…

Looks a top player and there would no doubt be commercial benefits for the club too.

Matt Grimes would be my choice …. Sits in front of back four .:. Good passer…roven at Championship level …

Grimes and Sheaf would protect the back four more and give a good base for the 2 wide players and Rudoni / Torp to play from ….

Yeah I did wonder if that would be the case, I assume he’s here for the long run then, going to take our money for 4 years and not offer much in return. I’d be tempted with offering 750K cancellation agreement tbh, see if that tempts him, okay we’ve straight up lost 750K but we’d at least have a spot free for a quality LB and have saved half of his wages rather than it drag on for 4 years

And have to pay for another left backs wages on top. Never going to happen

 

[robbiekeane]

Hate when these things are leaked, makes it more likely people will beat us to it

Preferred it when we just logged on and saw we’d signed someone

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

Oh yeah it’s never going to happen because it’s not usually a done thing, but personally if we’re saving half the cash on his wages and the new LB means we’re a stronger team then I’d probably take the risk. That LB spot could be the difference between staying down and going up, you never know

That's an excellent shout.

Again you’re just thinking of the starting 11. MVE really struggled playing every week as did Bidwell. Beyond them you’ve got huge defensive liabilities in Dasilva and Lati.

Sorry but I really don’t think Lati is a huge defensive liability at RB. I think probably it’s the getting forward he’s not proficient at.

I’m slightly confused by the regular criticism of him. He’s fine…and was apparently playing through an injury.

The new lad Sandford signed yesterday is a RB and a promising prospect. Lets see how he develops

Just for those that say I never rate British players, Grimes is one of the few that makes sense to me, particularly for our 4-2-3-1 or if we ever played 4-4-2. Got a decent shot on him at times, good tackler, strong player all round and is hard to play against.

The two big concerns are his price and whether Doug is interested in buying players that have little sell-on value. According to transfermarket he’s €7 mil, which is ridiculous tbh, if we could get him for around £3 mil then fair enough but not at approximately £6 mil. Also he’ll be 30-31 by the end of the contract (depending on the length of the contract), he’s not going to be worth much at all after that, so although we need experience it’s whether Doug wants to buy that sort of player? Though with his experience, I do think he’d be an upgrade on Eccles, or at least a backup for Sheaf?

I think he’s approaching the last year of his contract but I maybe wrong on that …

He's under contract to 2027, he signed an extension last year.

 

[Evo1883]

Would probably cost several million too

 

[David O'Day]

Far more than anyone would want to pay for a player of his age.

Good player but not going to happen as Swansea have no interest in losing him unless someone pays way over the odds.

I think they're usually in the latter stages of the process when this kind of thing happens

Just watched the clip posted of him, looks class and would be an excellent signing, Japan have alot of talent, alot of technically gifted players

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

He’s Japan’s hottest prospect, a ‘wonder kid’, apparently.

I think we can rule out a move to the Championship, with us. He’ll be signed by a larger club and pimped out, probably.

 

[JSL]

If anyone can, Doug can pull it off. We also have Tats for companionship

Who is going to match his contract though?

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Is Aled Williams still going to be the GK coach though? If we are making coaching hires, I think we need a replacement for Aled. All our goalies start out fine, but turn to shit soon after.

2.5m EUR sounds dirt cheap for an international goalkeeper at his age in the market as it is now.

I'm not complaining but he seems like the sort of player that would be 5m plus.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Again you’re just thinking of the starting 11. MVE really struggled playing every week as did Bidwell. Beyond them you’ve got huge defensive liabilities in Dasilva and Lati.

But I think that deficiency at goalkeeper cost us a fair few points last season and could again, so is a vital area we need to upgrade.

I agree that we could do with improvements/depth in the areas you suggest but I think we can get by for the moment.

I think he sits at a strange place in the market. Not many first division teams buy keepers this young and very rarely would you get a championship club splashing on a keeper.

Swedish league players never command big fees. Their record outgoing is only €10m.

Wouldn’t hold your breath on this one, even if we have Tats as leverage.

Even so, it’s not even a rumour. Well it is now, but wasn’t prior to this discussion.

 

[Skybluedownunder]

1) he might want to play and the thought of playing rather than not being wanted on a bench might sound more appealing even if only offered shorter length contract
2) we could loan him out
3) if another club lets say in league one was prepared to take him we could bridge the gap between wage discrepancy

Doubt he would give up the guaranteed salary.

2&3 are possibilities yes but both involve us continuing to pay him.

Basically we’re stuck with him for now.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Maybe we’re going to shift Collins instead

That's because he has a false arm and they're not letting on until the money hits their account.

I wondered this too. Wilson has shown he's fine with competing to be first choice, maybe Collins isn't.

Just looking at the GK photos the social media team have released on Instagram, Collins just looks like a drained man, and whilst Wilson always looks pepped up and ready for it I don’t want to go back to the days of him starting. I really hope we sign this Dovin guy or someone decent at least, I think it’s crucial to our season tbh.
