CONFIRMED Hamer joins Coventry

[Bladesman]

Don’t hull need to sell before they buy? Also I don’t think this guy has got anything right

I am not sure they are interested. I think many clubs may just wait for his contract to run out to be honest.

 

[bertieblade]

Hull are about to receive sky money and a deal will be structured over the length of his contract.
He has to sign a new contract or be sold to the highest bidder this summer.
Not bothered who he goes to but the more clubs interested the more likely we are to generate a high fee

Martin who????

Martin who????

C'Nwoch don't know.

 

[Ron_Justice]

This is one I can see. Near enough to commute from wherever he living, no doubt a bump in wages, another crack at the PL, reunited with members of United MKII, and United, given the chance to make some dosh, would go for it given his contract situation with us.

FWIW, despite his undoubted talents, a promoted team is the top of where I can see him in the UK - I don't think the likes of Everton, Palace, Florest would want or indeed need him.

Heart says keep him, head says the right offer, suiting all parties, would see him go.

Can’t see Hull offering much.

Trabzonspor just signed 2 players for €8.5m and one for €7m. For those sort of figures I’d imagine we’d be chatting. Signed quite a few for €5m the prior year. That would be a little low but you’re looking at £2m in wages too, so a saving of around £6-9m likely allows for a deal I reckon.

Sad, and I’d rather keep him, but we just don’t let millions trickle through our fingers at this stage, do we? Even though you could argue that a fit Gus probably gets you top 8 without the daft start of last year.

 

[ComedyClub]

8M they can have him. Be good business for a bloke who misses four games a season through petulance, who’s also in his last year contract wise.

 

[Hallamboy87]

If he is going to any of the promoted teams, it will be Coventry. They can get him on a discount.

 

[SUFC Guy]

Hull must be favs to finsih rock bottom next season. Gus will be back to square one. I'd love us to keep him for one more year, but ultimately money talks.

 

[SUFC Guy]

If he is going to any of the promoted teams, it will be Coventry. They can get him on a discount.

That is a more realistic option. We would need to get a sell on fee nailed down.

 

[Hallamboy87]

I'm fairly certain they have a sell on fee for him. Financially it could get complicated and I'm a tad worried we would be at a disadvantage

 

[Down the Channels]

I am sure this has been said before, but if we are only going to get £4M / £5M for him I would rather keep him and let the contract run down.
If he can help get us promoted somehow then he may want to sign another contract.
Better than spending money on large loan fees and agents fees for new arrivals.
He does need to get fitter though and cut out the petulant bookings.

a) In percentage terms, how much do you think Hamer would increase our chances of promotion compared to the situation where we sell him for the fee you quote?
b) How much more expensive do you think loan fees would be than Gamer's current wages?

 

[CPB]

If Hamer leaves I reckon it will be to go back nearer to Holland. Cause a PL club might tempt him for another crack at it.

Feel like Hull could be a hiding to nothing though. Although money talks if it's a better wage.

Stranger things have happened that he signs a new deal here. Don't quite see it happening myself but I wouldn't completely rule it out if we have enough money coming in from other sales OR new investment.

 

[TankersleyBlade]

We bought for an undisclosed fee, rumoured to be £15m. If we end up selling him for £5m ish (most estimates around here given age / contract situation) then if we have to pay a sell on I’d be sacking anyone involved n negotiating the original purchase……along with anyone who played a role in our transfer business last summer!!

Get fitter and cut out the petulant bookings ?
Like that's ever gonna happen

We did sign him a few years ago and i think we all presumed he would leave when we got relegated and would have gone on to bigger and better things (not just kebabs). They had a sell on percentage with Gyokeres, so wouldnt surprise me with Hamer

In all fairness he is our best player and deserves to be playing in the premier league

 

[Bladeloyal]

Sell ons usually are only a percentage of profit above purchase

We could always sign Lundstram

You only pay a sell on with a profit! We will get no where near what we paid ! So logically no sell fee.

Hull is nearer Holland. Straight on the disco ferry

 

[Champagneblade]

Exactly. A sell-on fee usually makes no odds if you're selling for a lower fee than you purchased.

 

[Down the Channels]

a) In percentage terms, how much do you think Hamer would increase our chances of promotion compared to the situation where we sell him for the fee you quote?
b) How much more expensive do you think loan fees would be than Gamer's current wages?

a) As a potential player of the Championship again I would say 'a little'. But fine margins and all that.
b) Probably similar numbers (inc all the costs involved). With the caveat there being that we are looking at some good premier league loans rather than something like Ogbene!

Gus knows Utd, knows Wilder and any new loan is more of a gamble.

 

[54yrblade]

In all fairness he is our best player and deserves to be playing in the premier league

Our best player was a low bar last season. He might fit a bottom end PL team but not longer a serious baller.

Other than if he fancies it during a game.

Thats what I was gonna say. So in theory, Coventry don't get anything as we have lost money

 

[FriethBlade]

Well if we sell Hamer after selling Brooks its going to be a joy watching sideways, sideways, sideways, backwards.... repeat

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Why would Hamer sign for a club this summer and instead get a cut of those millions ( however many) in wages for himself? Unless a premier league wage hits him in the face of course.

I wouldn't be shocked if he stays.
