Gustavo Hamer

[Bladesman]

I will genuinely miss Gus, exciting player to watch and great with a free kick. Not many players get you out of your seat these days as most teams play to a system rather than allowing individual players to be a bit of a maverick.

He stayed longer than he needed to, I did expect him to leave when we got relegated but has ended staying another 2 seasons. If we end up getting half the price we bought him for plus a bit extra later on then it's a solid deal given his fitness and age.

If if he ever became available to us again in the future I'd take him back in a heartbeat but I expect after Coventry he will likely go back to the Netherlands to end his career.

Think Wilder said yesterday, any transfers will be frees and loans. Sounded like we are going to use our small bit of cash for the CB (£8m for Souttar seems too much but I would probably agree its the number 1 position that needs someone in).

Not sure who is still floating about in the free market, so guessing LM will be a loan.

Once the squad registration has been completed for the prem, we may get an idea of who is available on loan. I dont really want a player who has not played any senior football and we are there first club.

Its just worrying that if it a loan. Come next year, both potentially our right and left wingers will be going back to there club and we back to square one.

I don't really follow the U'18s but for the people that do. do we have anyone with a touch of flair we could introduce into the first team?

It adds to Wilder's and other managers argument that the transfer window should close before both the PL and EFL season start. It means you would know who is available for loan or transfer much sooner.

 

[Frank the tank]

Every single Blades fan now knowing the tables have turned and it's time to watch your club go through some dark times. He's Brazilian, he only cost a few million and we think he's fucking brilliant Gustaaaaaaaavo. Imagine paying £15m for a player from a club and then selling him back to the same club for not even half of what you originally paid. Everything about Sheffield is a shit hole and the only good things I can think of are the Crucible and Sheffield Wednesday.

100%

To add to this. I'm a big believer that the PL and EFL should start on the same day. Would help with these elite clubs in European competition saying they fixture congestion etc. When it's a world cup, all for the fixtures to be put back a week or 2, but i have no issue of starting the league schedule this early. What happens if we have a decent cup run in both the league and F.A cup? With the internation breaks. We could have several months of playing both Saturday/Wednesday and for teams with small ish squads, its going to have a huge effect!

Not really, was replying to the dum Covo thicko fan, but for some reason it replied to your post instead.

I couldn't work it out either

I hope you're joking!!! This has come as a huge shock to the system. Don't want my season ticket now!

To all the Coventry fans on here:

1. Buying a player off another club is a normal thing, not a personal attack on the selling club, not something to be avenged
2. Buying the player back isn’t “Karma” for an imagined wrongdoing, because we didn’t do anything wrong in buying him. Also, our current manager had nothing to do with it
3. We didn’t care about your club or owners one way or another until your selective “protest whistling” (only when we were attacking) became a tactic to put our players off. Watch the match back.
4. We still don’t care about you or your owners
5. We will carry on as a club without Gus, as good as he was
6. You are making people who bore you no ill will before hoping that your team fails miserably next season, just by being absolutely bellends.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

I had no issue at all with them but now I've seen enough. Will be checking on this clown whenever they get dicked next season. It's like they've had their first beer. This is just a tiny taste of how insufferable Wednesday would be as well. Must be the nearly 25 years of being utter wank that makes them so giddy. Such a nothing club/place my instinct is usually pity for clubs like them. They'll soon find out how fun the Premier league is. I'm sure they'll make lots of rivals in their own imagination while they're up there though.

That is it. Without being rude, they've been starved of any relevance for so long. But I am sure it is like all fanbases, who have their collection of village idiots. There must be a large, silent proportion who aren't weirdos on here or social media, who are grateful for the season ahead and the opportunity, having almost gone bust.

I also anticipate the 'what on earth did Sheffield United do to Gus Hamer' when they get a player back different to the one who left.

Oh, I am definitely getting to the point where I hope they struggle miserably, but that Gus is just largely ineffective, less fit or a bit of a passenger. I think they will be straight back down and he will then leave or after a year in the championship.

Put it this way, it is no way comparable to boyhood Blade Billy Sharp coming home to captain the club to the most successful period of the modern era.

You look at the money spent by West Ham (£120-130m) , Burnley (approx £100m) & Wolves (circa £125m) & were all relegated. All three of those teams had also been in the Prem over recent years so already had Premiership squads that they were adding to.

Its not impossible for Coventry to stay up, I don't really care if they do or don't, but I certainly dont think Hamer makes any difference to their season. If they do stay up, then Hamer will 100% be surplus. There's no chance a second season Premiership team like Leeds or Sunderland would sign Hamer right now

 

[Borbokisfreekick]

I just don't see how Gus comes close to competing physically in the Premier League.
He can't last longer than 75 mins at Championship Level, gets ran by with ease, can't get near anyone when he presses.
He'll be a bench player at best for Coventry and come on for 15-20 min cameos at the end of games, and be back playing in the Championship next season.

Substantially more wealthy, having been featured on the biggest stage, advertising his skill set to the widest possible audience, so his next move is even more lucrative.

He'll also be adding a few more entries into the bookings column on his spreadsheet I reckon.

If Cov play 4-5-1 and Gus plays off a big striker I could see him contributing. They'd benefit from his set pieces and the odd goal and assist. I don't see how he fits in a four for the reasons you've outlined. A three would be difficult too.

We had a superb athlete in Vini and even that was struggle with Gus.The average Prem mid is tall and extremely athletic. The defensive transitions are pivotal.

Not to mention the amount of cynical fouls he gives away

 

[bertieblade]

Gus has to be a good bet for a yellow card in every match he plays

 

[Maurice Maurice]

Fat Frank and Fat Gus, has a kind of ring to it. Lampard has no affinity to the shit hole that is Coventry, he'll be off when he gets the chance. Gus will pick up a Prem wage for a season and do what he does, fuck all most of the time. As to Cov fans? Never have been and never will be known for owt other than maybe whining like little bitches, throwing a few tennis balls and blowing a few whistles. Hardly the most intimidating bunch. Said it before, Villa and Birmingham are the big boys around there, Coventry and Walsall make up the numbers.

We should have better protection on that left hand side now he's gone, Gus was never any good at tracking back

Brilliant!

So Walsall are their REAL rivals?
Oh, they'll love that...

You can stay though Super Graham Withey - you don't seem to have the same gene pool as the others

Now you have Gus back, does this mean you'll all disappear off here now? Or will you pop back on every time he scores or assists next season?

It's genuinely weird behaviour from you lot, and even moreso on Twitter. I can't ever remember any other set of fans influxing this forum when they were linked to a player of ours. Marseille were strange on twitter, but not this level

Hopefully this is Goodbye, Adios, Au Revoir and Auf Wiedersehen you absolute weirdos

 

[Hallamboy87]

There recruitment has been a lot better than ours in the recent years.

I have no issues with Coventry. The fans i have met have always been absolutely fine (fair enough the older generation)! I think they are a good bet to stay up as they have 4 ready-made players and have added a centre back and that centre mid from Ghana that a lot of teams were circling around.

There GK is ready made for the PL. Same as that Van Ewijk and Rudoni

 

[Davalon]

I like Gus as a player and he seems a good lad away from it but he's nowhere near the top of my list of the most disappointing departures.

GLTTL and all that, no hard feelings at all, but happy to move on.

Genuinely more disappointed with Brooksy going.

You sound lucky enough not to remember the Brentford fans when we were after Maupay. At least they were polite enough.

You're joking! They have signed frank onyeka, some swiss defender and that goalie they had last season. Van Ewok and Punane or whatever you call him are not even close to prem level. Them and Hull back down by easter
