The number of times I’ve read on here that selling last seasons best player in the league was a good idea because he looks a bit chubby is hilarious.
He’s quality.
There is a lot of noise.
Without a doubt, Hamer has under performed this season, its taken him much longer to adapt and find his form post Selles, than say, O'Hare. But O'Hare, and i say this as someone who wasn't his biggest fanboy last season, has been exceptional at times this season. Most possibly the most consistent and important player to the team this year. That's in spite of the way Selles had him playing.
Hamer was exceptional last season, kept BBD out of the side and was rightly one of the best performers of the entire division. He's not found his mojo this season, i think there have been a number of reasons - the Selles effect, the formations, his form, his fitness and as i understand it some off the field issues. Whatever the reason, he's finding the form now and you look at his attitude, its admirable, when he plays
Any decision to sell him, like with any player, would have to be a business decision to maximise the money we can get for him. Selling him because he 'look's to have filled his shirt more is, as you say, hilarious.
