CONFIRMED Gustavo Hamer signs from Coventry City

[CaptainMorgans]

I would take him, money + Norwood deal.

Norwood's on a free.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

I want us to ensure that if we go down we do so with at least 2 quality CMs of a good age permanently contracted, and it would be good if he was one of them

 

[brownblade]

He really of

Loan Diallo
Buy Hamer
Buy Doyle
Get Manning
Keep Ndiaye

We almost take the to of the table with us.

That's a (lucid) dream window.

Be nice to have a midfield in general wouldn't it?

Currently only got Sander Berge on a contract and his runs out this time next year.

Looks decent but I can see him stopping at Cov regardless of Wembley result

Not sure on that tbh

Asked about his future, Hamer said: “For me, the focus is now on a step up towards the Premier League, but a return to Feyenoord would also be extremely attractive. Other top leagues would also be nice, but these are my real goals now. If Feyenoord calls me to return, I will say yes, without hesitation, in spite of everything.”

Interesting. Well, he can get a bigger move than Feyenoord. He'll have plenty of offers in the summer even if Coventry win the final.

 

[BladesNo9]

Latest seems to be that l##ds remain interested in him, but he wants to move to the Prem!?. There may yet be a slight hope that we may sign him. I for 1 would like to see him playing for us next season.

Doesn't seem to be linked with PL clubs. Not sure what Coventry value him at.

 

[FriethBlade]

This is the pond we are fishing in and he'd be a decent catch

 

[brownblade]

I assume I said it in here previously - This guy is a quality midfielder. I think he's good enough for top half Prem teams. If we had £10-15m I'd be desperate to sign him, but I'd accepted that we won't.

But who knows eh...

Just signed a new deal on 20k a week!!!

Really? Literally googled him before my comment.

That might not rule us out, if true. He might have a realistic release clause and we can actually top that wage!

Huge respect to him if being loyal or doing it for good of club. @Iliman

I'd read it somewhere

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Fulham sniffing.

 

[brownblade]

He's so good. Was really hoping this was someone posting a juicy and somehow believable link to us.

 

[Mouth of the South]

Cov obviously no longer need to sell and are already reinvesting the proceeds from the sale Gyokeres, quite cannily it would seem, although Simms seems overpriced at £8m

Simms is £3.5m apparently.
£8m if they're promoted and he reaches certain milestones.

That's a bit more realistic - I was thinking of £4-5m. Surprised Everton are willing to effectively take a £4..5m gamble of Cov getting promoted, especially considering the strength of the Champ next season. They'll have done well if they're anywhere near the top 6 IMHO.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Burnley also in for him. Deal of £16m apparently.
Coventry have done great business considering Gyokeres went for £20m+ also and both are in the final years of their deals.

Should set the bar for any negotiations for Ndiaye and Berge, in my opinion both better players than their respective counterparts.

we wont be paying 16m for him thats about 6/7m overpriced imo

Burnley r spending some money if true, nearly 20m on the City keeper, Hamer and I'm pretty sure I read they are loaning a centre back with an option to buy for 15m and OShea from WBA for 7m

I think Hamer is better than Berge. All round midfielder, probably the best in the Championship last season.

But obviously we can't afford him regardless.

Signing a forward from Metz for 20m too.
And they're back in for Tella.

Think they'll be alright this season.
Good manager, a set way of playing, good togetherness.
Seem to be building towards something.

They'll probably be fine, yeah, because there are so 7-10 beatable teams. Some people might be similarly optimistic about Blades!

 

[Balboni]

We could've got him for a bottle of piss and some tramps chips 12 months ago. It was clear as day how good a player he was.

If it was so clear how good he was, then why didn’t any of the other 42 teams in the Prem/Championship sign him?

Ah yes, every good player gets signed by another team the second it’s ‘clear they’re a good player’

What a stupid comment

Right, I understand now, it was clear to you, but not the rest of the football world.

You should obviously be working for a football club with your eye for talent.
