Outgoing? Hamer

[Eddiecolquhounsleg]

There’s zero evidence to suggest he wouldn’t give everything. None at all. Some complete horseshite being written here.

Cmon Wards. You’ve been around long enough to know that ‘complete horseshite’ is de rigeur on this forum.

Cov fans have really bought into this whole "they still owe us money" bollocks haven't they

 

[mattbianco1]

If you imagine that Hull and Coventry may be the only two to take him at that level

I said that other day. If he wants PL football again, he has 3 choices/chances:

1. Hull
2. Coventry
3. United

He'd be better off going to Netherlands or Serie A if he wants to play at the top end of a top flight, because he's not going to be a top-10 PL player

Hamer is in that weird spot where he's too talented for the Championship, but not physically gifted enough for the Premier League.
So in England he has the choice between being a big fish in the Championship or being a squad player at best in the Premier League.

Half the Scottish squad seems to be lighting up Serie A, so Gus might win a Balloon D'Or if he went there...

Id be more concerned about your username change if we sell him
O'Hares gutsy sprint
Cannons ambitious pressing
Shackletons rare sighting
Need i go on

Think Gus will leave with his head held high and as arguably the best player at the Lane for the past 10 years. Only Ndiaye could challenge that but he didn't win a league POTY.

Cannon's ambitious finishing more like

O'Hare's rare shooting
Arblaster's dead knee

Plenty to choose from

I dont think he's 'too talented' for the Champ at all imho.

He's spent one season in the PL at almost 30. And that was with us when we had no money to spend and had zero chance of stopping up.

Are they available in Tescos? And would you get discount?

Ndiaye dragged us to promotion. We'd have been nowhere without him. Hamer has the individual accolade of a POTY, but team achievements outweigh it. Ndiaye clearly the most technically gifted Blade since Currie too

Just offer Gus 40k a week and a years supply of rassams creamery similar to deal that we agreed with the moose

 

[Pintor75]

Make him captain like he did with Olly, he'll stay then, who wants to be sent to Coventry anyway

I did say arguably lol.

What Ndiaye did in 22/23 was just ridiculous

 

[Silent Blade]

Will the SCR rules allow this?

Ndiaye levels above Hamer.

I think we should sell him when it's too late to bring anyone else in to replace him.

The lack of this kind of ingenuity is what's holding the club back. I hope they've thought about trying something along these lines this year.

You just know that will happen

 

[originaltrueblade]

It will cost us much more to replace Gus with any player similar. So keep him and aim for playoffs once Harry boy is over the line

It would be 20 million to replace Gus. That's why if the fee is measly like <5 million I think you are right. If fee was>10 million of course off he pops. Lets face it Coventry have spent so little so far it would be mental not to hold out for a decent figure.

If we get the right amount it's possible to replace him, its fairly certain we had Johnston lined up previous if he left.

 

[WorksopBlade86]

As Blades we have been down this road far too many times, and as such it's inevitable to me that Gus is going back to Coventry, it's a matter of when, not if.

With the Summer incoming activity yet again turning out to be painfully slow, when in reality we needed the exact opposite approach - if the Gus money is needed to fund Souttar and/or any other new arrivals, then it would be refreshing if the club actually took control of the situation and made this work in our favour.

No more "the club has a valuation and you haven't met it" (only to sell for under the valuation on or near deadline day).

Instead.....
Coventry: We'd like to offer 5m for Hamer.
United: Rejected, our valuation is 10m, and if you don't offer 10m then all lower offers will be completely ignored.
Not only that, but the non negotiable asking price goes up to 12m after the Championship season commences - so stop messing about and get your 10m offer in, or off you pop.
