Outgoing? Hamer

[ancientblade]

He's got one year left on his contract.
He can't last more than 60 minutes at THIS level.
If he stays great, he is an asset.
But I very much doubt we'll get more than £5 million for him.
Anything less say fuck off. £5 million or more, snatch their hand off.

disagree 10m or he sees his.cpntract out with us

£5m for one of the top championship players to a cash rich PL club?

£5m for one of the top championship players to a cash rich PL club?

Its not quite as simple as that .

Wages , contract length offered will all play a part and ultimately it'll if the player wants to go . Theres leverage on both sides

 

[Hallamboy87]

Why don't we try and get a player from them as part of the deal plus cash?

Simms is a fantastic striker but currently we do have a few in that position and doubt wilder would play to his strengths.

Markelo is a winger they brought last year and although didn't play that much he went there for over 4mill and rangers were enquiring about him last week.

Kitchen is a good left footed centre half. Very old school and only from down the road

Kai Andrews is very highly rated and has a good physical presence for a person his age. Maybe worth to enquire about a loan.

At the end of the day, they had a very good squad who walked this league so I think most of their players would definitely get into our starting 11.

 

[Houso]

Loaning a player from Cov to aid their development while our best player goes to them for a pittance...

(All that said, I agree there may be a player or two to sweeten the deal.)

 

[bladesmanluke]

There is no chance we get anything close to £10m for Hamer. Looking at £3-5m

You're deluded, sorry. Wonderwall is no longer top of the charts

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Wolves aren't even rated as having better than a one in three shot at top two in the market. Yes they are the second favourites but saying pretty much decided is clearly comical. West Ham are only just over 50% to get one of the two spots.

We’ll see, right now I can’t see past those two. A this stage it’s all a guessing game, but their squad is very strong.

Wolves have Jimenez & West Ham have Bowen. Not bad options.

i would take simms as part of any deal for hamer hes better than cannon and campbell and wont do owt at premier league level 5m plus simms and they can have hamer and that 5m would get us souttar over the line

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Not far off It literally just only fell out of the top ten this week

That would be perfect for both parties!

 

[djbaldken]

And in 12 months he leaves for fuck all.

 

[Sportbilly /Detroit Blade]

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

Well he looks like a fucking balloon, so a balloon D'Or might be quite apt!

 

[Nedski]

I couldn't care less where he goes if we get what we want for him and it helps us strengthen over all.

The current Hamer will give us a few glimpses of magic but if he stays then we have to accept that we may well be light in other areas and will probably concede plenty of opportunities down our left.

If we're conceding plenty of opportunities down our left then that's on Wilder to fix. He's either got to manage Hamer (aka his job, despite moaning about how his players shouldnt need any coaching) and make him help Burrows/McCallum or move him in to a role with less defensive responsibilities.

He can't last more than 60 minutes at THIS level.

Can't last more than 60 minutes? More often than not he completes 90. Not sure why that story keeps coming up.

 

[Liaminho9]

I can never help but notice Hamer has actually been more successful with us than he was at Coventry.
More goals and assists in Red and White, in less appearances.
That being said, if he does stay he’ll have played more for us by mid-October than any other club.

 

[Kenilworth]

Say we dont accept a bid from Coventry (or any other team), I cant see Hamer giving his all. He will pull out of tackles that he would normally commit to just in case he suffers a major injury that will deter clubs signing him.

Tackles
Good one

 

[Kenilworth]

It’ll be nice to see Cov suffer from the premier league tax on transfer fees.
Then it’d be even better to see them get thumped every week.

Given they just paid about 27m for some Ghanaian midfielder they can bugger off being skinflints over Hamer.

If they aren’t prepared to pay out an eight figure sum then piss off!

It’s come full circle and we’re on about tennis balls again.

It’s ok, we’ll have the defensive solidity of Burrows behind him.

Any more weight and he won’t fit through D’or.

 

[ancientblade]

doesnt alter the fact that hamer is worth far more than a measly 5m even if he goes for free in 12 months 10m should be our starting price and who knows if we keep him he may help us to promotion

 

[Koh Samui Blade]

disagree 10m or he sees his.cpntract out with us

Leicester asking 10m in similar circumstances, for a player who has been out injured for 18mnths, make it make sense!

To be fair, I personally think that this would be a great idea, if Gus does want to go. Although the quality isn't replaceable, it isn't every match that he steps up and there are other options that we can look at there from within the squad. Kitching is from Harrogate and a Leeds academy player, he made 37 starts last season (1 sub) pretty much playing a full 90 every week which is what we need. Availability is key for us and although not the greatest to get rid of Gus, a trade like this would make a lot of sense, a position we need more of and make sure its a permanent both ways. He is 27 in September so starting to hit his prime as a CB.

My only worry is his pace. I can count on 1 hand how many times ive watched Coventry this year. But it looks like he is treading in honey when hes turning. He does seem to have a bit of aggression which i think would add a bit to this side and can see him working really well with Wilder.

Kaine Kesler Hayden would be a choice. Great RB and was signed I believe as replacement for their other starting Van Ewijk who didn't end up leaving. Young, fast and also an attacking threat!

Agreed regarding pace but the physicality and also positional awareness should help close that gap a bit, similar to how we saw Mee slot in at LCB. Pretty handy in the air too which makes a change.

If he stays we're likely to finish higher up the league, potentially put a few more bums on seats along the way and help with season ticket sales if we have a reasonable season.
I don't see why we would be selling on the cheap at all. Other than we're Sheffield United and that's the sort of thing we'd do.

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

Forest kept MGW when spurs came knocking with a year left - its what ambitious clubs do..

Exactly and look at another worrying thing replaced brooks with a cheap loan hamer money will be pocketed and then a loan will come in for hamer
