We've got the option so no need to sign him now at all, especially given the reasonable chance we'll be relegatedPotentially this is one hell of a good player, on loan with option to buy ? I’d sign him up now he will attract attention and he could be a very valuable one day.
Probably the best player out there tonightGreat player. Future captain

Isn’t it if he hits a certain % of games ?Isn't it an obligation to buy?

Played well tonight, looks like he’s settling in nicely now.
I’d still like to see Kelly in midfield with Hamer given a more attacking roll.
Would seem a bit of a strange thing to do (i.e. why would you limit the number of other loan players by loaning one you could buy? Why wouldn't you spend the money now even if the installments mean you don't necessarily pay now?).
Wonder whether it's something to do with the rules relating to players under 24 that are out of contract? Sheaf is out of contract with Arsenal at the end of this season

Shock horror, sound the klaxon - a decent article in the Telegraph!
Chris Badlan on "unnoticed" quality of Sky Blues' Ben Sheaf
The 22-year-old Arsenal loan signing has featured in every Championship game for the Sky Blues since joining in the summerwww.coventrytelegraph.net
Agree 100% with everything Badlan says here.
What he says about Sheaf's work going unnoticed is true but if one good thing has come from the ridiculous & unfair early criticism he got is that people are paying more attention to him now & slowly realising that actually he's invaluable & will be a huge asset.
Also explains a bit about the structure of the deal & why it took so long so let's not hold that against the boy anymore either eh?
I hope Robins can conjure up a similar deal with Arsenal January they have some real good kids in thier reserve set up legacy of the Wenger years.To be fair it's conditional on certain criteria being met. So, technically we're not completely bound to the purchase agreement.
I'm not entirely sure and I'll admit I can only speculate.
He may not have had the cash on hand to buy as the budget was drying up and a proportion of the Callum Wilson money was already dedicated to Walker signing. Perhaps the reason behind this was that the Walker instalments were far more favourable than Sheaf hence why a proportion of the money was used for the Walker deal rather than on Sheaf.
Or perhaps Arsenal may have felt more willing to loan Sheaf with an obligation to buy as it allowed them greater control over the agreed fee as well as any potential add-ons such as a sell on fee. Rather that than let a tribunal set out a compensation package.
Like I said I'm not sure but there undoubtably would've been reasoning behind it.
really?this thread aged well. Our best player IMO
Absolute pussy out there tonight so far don’t like it rough or pressure seemsreally?
send him back and spend the money on drugs to keep Kelly fit foreverAbsolute pussy out there tonight so far don’t like it rough or pressure seems
Barry McAllisterThought he was the new Mcallister?
I wonder if he wants the chance to get out if we go down.

smiles too much aswellHe just doesn’t have any fight or heart. Bit of a wallflower. He should’ve been sprinting back for their open goal miss like Hyam did a few weeks ago when he clattered the post. He would’ve been close to being able to block it but just no urgency with the bloke
