Yes , agreed . However we have been actively looking at CMs this summer
Yes , agreed . However we have been actively looking at CMs this summerThe same was said when Hamer was about to be sold.
He has very similar traits but i doubt he is at the immediate level that we would needAnyone watched much of Kypriannou. Could he fill straight in?

yeah but there wasn't nearly to go in the window when he wentThe same was said when Hamer was about to be sold.
Yep I agree with this from watching him. Wouldn’t mind signing him as long as it’s alongside a more ready versionHe's probably more like Ben Sheaf circa 2020
But we still haven’t really replaced Hamer. We need at least one CM to replace him still - if Sheaf goes we’ll need 2Yes , agreed . However we have been actively looking at CMs this summer
THey are totally different playersIt's a shame we didn't sign Alan Browne on a free, I feel he would have been ideal if Sheaf went.
However, I don't believe we could/would have matched Sunderland in wages terms unfortunately.
We would have the funds to get 2But we still haven’t really replaced Hamer. We need at least one CM to replace him still - if Sheaf goes we’ll need 2
I do think the fact it's 5 days until our first game and we haven't announced who is captain yet is probably an indicator that Sheaf is likely to leave unfortunately.
oh good. the way i intepreted your first post was that it was all but done.That's the exact reason
Robins is keen to make Sheaf captain and offer him a hugely improved contract.
Sheaf happy with this but of course wants to play premier league football, and with Palace sniffing around this is why its not in place yet
Nothing more than that at the moment though it's not to say he will deffo be off, just that Palace have a much firmer interest than the likes of Ipswich, and strangely, Brentford
oh good. the way i intepreted your first post was that it was all but done.
They are both Central midfielders, 'box to box'THey are totally different players
cant argue with any of thatNa not at all. Apologies if anyones taken it that way. If it was all but done I'd have made a thread having a breakdown, he's my favourite player..
Just that Palace have made it clear IF they are to launch a bid for him it will be at the price we want and Sheaf has seen the impressive development of Wharton at the same club.
Brentford and Ipswich were also sniffing, Ipswich Sheaf won't go, Brentford he would but they won't offer the asking price.
Hence Palace is the danger for us, he would.be happy to go, and they would be happy to pay (£16m with some add ons evidently)
This has been brought about by the no movement on Vik and Gus. The pot is now dry for us, and 10 days ago when Sporting paid the installment we were all set to be rolling in it
Now people seem to be umming and ahhhing around Vik, if we want to add the 2 CM, RB and CB, Sheaf will.be sacrificed
sheaf isnt box to boxThey are both Central midfielders, 'box to box'
Browne has played attacking midfield, sure, but more recent seasons for PNE had played more CDefensive midfield/CM.
So not 'totally different player's'.
Anyhow, it's all pie in the sky as he's not our player
He was more so last season after Gus left, definitely made to play further forward by MR in some games at least.sheaf isnt box to box
Id say its less about money for Sheaf and more the level he plays at.Can't see anyone spending £20m on Sheaf. £10m maybe. If Doug gets anywhere over £10m he'd be doing unbelievably well. Can see Palace looking at him though as fabulous on the ball but Sheaf aint the quickest. He could be tempted to stay given the improving team and chance for a shot of PL with us.... but money talks.
We would have the funds to get 2
Hope you are right. More concerned about the latter (in that it will adversely affect Sheff Utd). Vik will go now, or next season - money on it's way regardless.Vik will go, I’m certain of it. As will Hamer.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see Hamer stay there.Vik will go, I’m certain of it. As will Hamer.
Might not do us much good if it happens lateVik will go, I’m certain of it. As will Hamer.
Yes would agree there. Really far from ideal as Sheaf knows the system and is proven quality but if the club really want to go for it this season his sale would fill all the remaining gaps.Depends how much we get for him surely? Most people on here were saying that we need another CM before the rumoured talk about Sheaf maybe leaving, so that means if Sheaf does in fact leave then we’d need 2 CMs in the eye’s of most people on here? (Me included.)
There’s FFP to consider and of course Jan/next summer.Might not do us much good if it happens late
I like sheaf but maybe a shakeup in midfield could do us good , get some fresh faces in who knows .. have to trust the clubI'd be fuming tbh
Lose Sheaf it's another season down the swanny for me
There’s no way we’re anywhere near ffp/par trouble.There’s FFP to consider and of course Jan/next summer.
Whilst there’s a lot of podcasters/YouTubers that fancy us to push automatics, I just don’t think we’ll be ready for that this season. There’s still gaps in the depth we have and positions that can be improved.
We’ll see just where Eccles (and Torp) is at this season, he’s had the benefit of playing with Hamer and Sheaf. He needs to go up another gear to replace Sheaf.
In Lisbon today. Been up to the Sporting Stadium.Vik will go, I’m certain of it. As will Hamer.
