Outgoing? Callum O'Hare

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Southampton won't spend big on O'Hare while they have Azaz

 

[Badger Blade]

For where we are right now, I wouldn't be wanting to let him go but I do think that middle to top end Championship is his ceiling.

He could help get us up but I don't think would be an awful lot of use once we got there.

Be interesting to see if they keep Azaz. they'll need to cut their cloth and could maybe someone like Cov or Hull going for him

 

[FriethBlade]

You can get rid of both of those for a start.

As I've said, I don't mind COH at all. But I think he's limited, especially so by his stature, and his numbers aren't great for a player who spends 95% of the time in the opposition half.

We should expect more but, as ever, we're seemingly happy that he runs around a lot and the quality bit comes second. I think he's a top half Championship level player but little more. Should we not be setting 'the bar' a little higher?

We all think we should be aiming higher but as you say hes a top half championship player and IMHO and top 25% one. To get a top championship player or bottom half PL player is going to cost a lot of money and I dont think his position is anywhere near the top of our worries. We need to get 2 good CBs for starters and at least one proper winger

Isnt that where we hope to be Top end Championship
A club in our situation (no parachute money) will not be signing PL ready players

Go on then who are we replacing O Hare with ?

Sorry, I don't possess and encyclopedic knowledge of all the footballers out there. That said, I'd play Hamer there if he's staying for another year.

As I've said above, I don't mind COH at all. He's competent enough, I just think we should/could do better. I'd actually prefer to see us play two proper strikers rather than him playing off Bamford.

 

[FINUK]

Situation United are in with end of parachute money - we will entertain offers for anyone - and that’s just the reality of where we are…
Don’t forget this entire squad is made up of players who play for a club who finished bottom half of a bang average league last year .
No tears from me if we sell any of them - there all replaceable if recruitment is good

 

[Pedro Verde]

By your own admission hes a top half Championship player. Which is where we are as a club (hopefully)
If we can do better then we have to sign a player that is going to be very top end Championship or
lower end PL who hopefully is fit and not injury prone. Good luck with that. So what kind of player are you looking at ?

That is down to the tactical genius Wilder

 

[Wards]

So what kind of player are you looking at ?

As I say, Hamer would be my first choice. Failing that I would look at the PL for potential loan signings, something we've used effectively in the past. MGW and McAtee are the two that show you can get real quality for that position as it's one of the hardest for a young player to nail down at that level - they often need to go out and play against men. McAtee might not be the worst shout again as Forest clearly don't fancy him, and to me someone of that ilk is an upgrade quality-wise and fits the exact bill you've laid out. I really don't think it's that big an ask.

Also worth pointing out that O'Hare came in on a very good wage for this level given a) he was a free transfer and b) we had parachute payments. Recouping a fee and using the wage resource on two really good loanees might not be the worst shout given this is also year 3 of his contract.

 

[BerksBlade]

If O'Hare goes our pressing game goes with him.
Maybe his numbers could be better but no-one works harder week in week out. His running puts some of our other players to shame.

 

[john Mathison]

To lose Hamer and COH would be a major problem for CW.

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

The situation with COH will show how determined COH are to keep COH.

Now there's no parachute money, let's see what COH are made of - will they fund the gap or fill it with player sales?

There’s the flaw in your plan

 

[Bell4]

But if COH want to cash in on COH then COH will do so .COH will be missed but COH must do what COH feel needs to be done .

 

[Bell4]

Wonder if they’ve filmed him ?

 

[Nick Jansky]

But its the bar we have, if he goes who plays his position. Not only does he create but his work rate and availability is second to none. Imagine Campbell ambling around in that position or Cannon...infact you dont have to we've seen what they are like !

Louie Marsh could potentially play that position, depending on what he shows in pre season.

 

[Uganda Blade]

I hope you're right, but Wilder's experience mantra would suggest otherwise

 

[FriethBlade]

No chance Marsh is as far behind Ohare as I am behind Marsh ! He wouldn't still be here if he hadn't come through our academy. Hes 22 in a couple of weeks and in the last 3 seasons hes played a grand total of 29 games for Donny, Fleetwood and Falkirk. If he makes our first team then the wheels really have fallen off!
