If they are comfortable to let him leave a year early then they'll want a sizeable chunk of a sell on, same as Brentford were holding out on for Aaron Pressley last season. Or....they could be knocking it back as we also do have someone that they apparently want and they may be holding back Balmer as a makeweight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there were posts from the summer from Motherwell fans about Mandron mocking us for signing him, one i think said he looked like he had four different people who all hated each other controlling his limbs. Turned out much better than expected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 In other news................. If you have a read of the Lincoln City forum, their fans love Erhahon and are convinced a championship team will snap him up in the summer. Potential for a sell on fee hopefully. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting thing that Cammy MacPherson left you in August 2021, and Erhahon left you in January 2023, and Erhahon has managed more games for his new club than MacPherson. Boys a walking sick note and I'm going to raging if we give him a new contract (Levein is already hinting he will as he's "looks great in training"). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he ever managed a decent run, of say, ten games to get into any sort of rhythm? I know we've debated his ability numerous times on here, but I always felt that he had the makings of a really good player at this level and think it's a shame that he's been pretty unlucky with injuries.

Always felt he was a 1 in 4 player. He'd come up with one absolute belter of a match and you'd think he was going to kick on then he'd play like a man down the rest of the month. Always laughed at folk thinking MacPherson was a better player than Erhahon because Cammy ran about more and looked busier. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnley were being mentioned the other day which would be an absolutely outstanding move for him. Good news is that we apparently have a 20% sell on. Bad news is that Lincoln's transfer record sale is £750k so hopefully they don't sell him on the cheap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was pretty obvious when he was with us, he's a hard-working industrious type, perfectly suited to the Championship. He never struck me as a first choice top flight footballer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turned out much better than expected. That description probably sums up Josh Magennis when we had him. He barely looked like a footballer, yet then went to Kilmarnock and was fantastic. Most folk were having a good laugh at Bair when Motherwell signed him, his turnaround has been incredible. 11 hours ago, FTOF said: In other news.................

The Lincoln fan doing the FourFourTwo preview mentioned him as their player to watch. Think he was mentioned last month in the feature on each team's star performer. I think Kyle McAllister also got the one to watch/star performer tags for Forest Green but not sure he's been up against much given their past few years! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he ever managed a decent run, of say, ten games to get into any sort of rhythm? He's okay. It's hard to explain without making him sound great but you can see why coaches love him. He's good at a lot of things and you can picture him being more intense in training than others, and pinging passes/shots about making it look easy as you get flashes of it in games. I genuinely don't know what it is but there's just something he lacks that means it's all inconsistent, and then he's inevitably out for another month and all the progress is lost. If he'd joined us, without being proclaimed Ali McCanns replacement and had played without the injuries, I think he'd be starting every week and liked well enough without being a standout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Feels like Erhahon's been around forever, but he's only 22. Lincoln fans do seem resigned to losing him in the summer so it will be interesting to see where he ends up. Always thought he had potential to play for Scotland and still he think he might. He was MOTM and captain when Lincoln knocked out Sheffield United in the league cup at Brammall Lane back at the start of the season and he was linked with going to the the EPL with them in January, but that never came about. Definitely think he's more than capable of playing at that top end of the championship lower end of the EPL level of club, and if he does go to a team like that and get a regular game he'll get a Scotland call up before long. Maybe this will be summer when the annual McGinn moving to X super club rumour and making us millionaires will finally be replaced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 SPFL have confirmed we've been on the receiving end of 3 dodgy decisions - Bolton's red card v Dundee (didnt affect result but meant he missed game away at Livi, which we lost); Penalty we should have had for handball in the away Ross County game; Penalty we should have had for foul on McMenamin v Hearts. I now fully expect us to get everything going on Saturday, if it truly does "even itself out over a season". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now fully expect us to get everything going on Saturday, if it truly does "even itself out over a season". The Bolton one is particularly annoying as the red was given, the VAR told the referee to go to the monitor and review as it was probably not a red and the referee stuck with the decision. We then spent money appealing the decision and getting the red overturned....and it was fucking upheld! So not only is the decision incorrect, the advice was to overturn and that was ignored, then there was an appeal to overturn and that too was ignored and now a couple of months later, it comes out that they got it wrong. How the f**k does that fly?! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
