Outgoing? Hamer

[CPB]

That may be the case but if a, (substantial) fee for Gus allows us to bring in the 4/5/6 players we desperately need then would it be the end of the world? A lot on here and in general think that Gus is actually the problem, (his inclusion leads to round pegs in square holes) and that he is a maverick petulant player who, picks up far too many bookings.

I would obviously prefer him to stay as he is capable of brilliance on his day but if it results in achieving a team with greater overall balance to suit the system and way that Selles wants to play then I am not completely against it.

If that works then yes I would agree.

But if you aren't planning on losing him then you'd have to ask why you wouldn't adapt the way you play to make the best midfielder in the league. (Or at least in the top 3) Work in your system.

Wilder got stick for using him on the left last season. I'd say at times rightfully so. He is better in a central role.
But it meant that Souza and to start with Arblaster could play in the middle. And they Hamer could drift forwards on the left and be given a bit of a free role.
He was still very effective.

If you can't utilise Hamer in the championship then you are a poor manager. I'm confident that should be remain. Selles would be able to get him more involved. And that doesn't mean I think we will be fantastic but I can't buy that a manager would be that rigid to isolate his quality so it's so nullified.

That’s the spirit

Shoes off in car park, COH out, Selles out, toys out pram, every fucker OUT.

I say it without any knowledge, insight, rumour, tip or idea but I reckon he'll go to Palace.

 

[BigBed]

Can't we play Soumare and Hamer in the middle, sort of a 4-2-3-1, Barry left, Brooks right, OHare as a 10, and Campbell up top??
As soon as we have the defence in and steadied, that looks the best formation for the way Selles wants to play, doesn't it??

Well they'll get £60mil plus for Eze so can demand a hell of a lot from them

Adapt your whole system to accommodate one player? That doesn’t sound very sensible no matter how good he is. What happens when he’s blowing out of his arse after 60 minutes? Or when he’s injured? If he doesn’t fit our system he needs replacing with someone who does.

I was actually going to say something very similar yesterday; I'll be interested to see what happens with Hamer, he's a fantastic player and as we've already seen again this season, capable of excellent moments, but unless he ups his work rate and overall fitness, I'm unsure he can be 'carried' with the type of system Sellés looks to employ.

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

I think he’d already be in the Prem. Can’t see many wanting him aside from possibly the promoted teams.

Or a team that loses a flair player close to the deadline....step up Palace. You would think hed be on a shortlist to replace Eze. However as said earlier by someone thats a lot of dosh they have to spend so we could extract maximum value.

Given there's always been a chance he leaves you would hope we know who we want to replace him....that lad at Watford or Chair would do for me

Doesn’t strike me as palace style to replace a 27 year old with a 28 year year old

Far too ambivalent for this place mate

 

[Cheeky Blade]

Hamer out…loan in…wonder how that would go down?

Depends on how good the loanee is.

 

[54yrblade]

He's definitely got something that he occasionally rolls out for us, but is inconsistent, acquires too many bookings, not fit enough across 90 minutes and, it could be argued, the full season.

Could be a top, top player with the right fitness and conditioning team and really wanting to go hard at it himself. He won't achieve that with us, unless Selles' new team can push him on.

I enjoy watching him but wouldn't at all be surprised if he leaves.
