Gustavo Hamer

At least if he leaves we can get linked with signing him back in a couple of years.

Why wait a couple of years? It's only one since McBurnie left

cant see any way hamer will stay with us but we should put a 25m minimum price tag on his head got a feeling we may replace him with yet another coventry player jack rudoni

 

[Frank the tank]

Id be amazed if a Premier League team comes in for gus

AMAZED !!!

One reason he may stay would be an asking price of £25m.

That's a mad amount of money. I think we'd do well to get out money back.

Why an earth would we sell the championships player of the season at a loss?

 

[More Bladier than thou]

It all depends on what his contract release clause. And when you have just won championship player of the season-the release clause is probably too low compared to when the contract was agreed. Once the release clause is triggered, he can talk to teams, so that will be met by a few- the club need to get best price possible, whilst not leaving it to the last minute where we can’t replace him or invest those funds. We do that all too often.

His release clause reportedly expired last summer.

Great. We should absolutely go for top dollar for him. We are not desperate for the money, nor do we want to sell him. I personally think that he will stay another season as he seems happy-and we are a top side.

It was literally reported everywhere last summer amidst the Leeds interest.

Yes exactly.

Selling him at a loss is such an absolute wild take it’s unbelievable.

If current reports are true the club don’t really want to sell and he’s not minded to force a move but would like to play in the prem again.

So it’s either pay a decent fee or he stays

dont think so for the championship player of the season 25m has to be the starting price for any bidding

 

[robbiez666]

and if he wants to leave?

We paid £15 million for him when we were an EPL club. He's now 27 and clearly not likely to improve much. He's not got the athleticism to establish himself as an EPL player at a decent team. I'd say anything between £15-20 million is a fair price for him.

 

[Blade58]

Tend to agree with above posts

A few things to consider:

Championship player of the season
Not in his final year of contract
Has he actually said he wants to go?
I’ve been told he’s happy here.

On the above basis, if he’s sold it should definitely be for more than we bought him for imo. It’s the way transfer fees are and are heading

What did we pay? Was it £15m?

No way should he be going for less or even a similar fee

£20m+

I agree 20 million would be good but athleticism is the reason he’s not already a premier league player. Athleticism marks out those in the top league from the rest. Unfortunately however hard he trains he either has it or doesn’t, Hamer has quality on the ball but without athleticism in the top league it looks like you’re lazy as the game moves too quickly. Relegation team as that’s the signings they make because they make because they are relatively cheap

He's surprisingly athletic for his build but if he actually took it seriously and didn't drink and eat unhealthily then he'd have a chance in the top flight, I think.

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Do you think in a season or two, when Hamer more than likely has completed those in the PL, we'll look back, like England fans do on the way we once utilised Paul Scholes, and think 'remember that season we shoved him on left wing'?

 

[Rochdaleblade]

If he could pass a take away like he can pass a ball he would be worth £40 mil

 

[The Crab]

I don't think he is that sort to force a move anyway.

But he didn't force a move to the lane from Coventry. But when we bid and then had it accepted he would then of course have informed Coventry he wished to move.
(And there will have been chatter going on between the club and his agent behind the scenes)

I suspect he will leave. BUT he has 2 years left on his deal. So a club would need to meet our valuation. If he had 1 year left then it's a different matter, we seem to go for the cash in option if they won't agree a new deal.

At a minimum that valuation is £20m a very bare minimum £18m with add ons. Realistically for me he is £25m, perhaps including add ons that are realistic that they would come to pass.

Choosing between Coventry and us is like choosing between Margot Robbie and Alan’s love sock…

He doesn’t eat and drink unhealthily.

He does.

He does.

To ask an obvious question...how do you know?!

He does a Gillian McKeith and studies his poo obviously.


I am not sure even if he ate perfectly he would have the physical attributes to be a top level player. Some people no matter what they do can have that ability

 

[LurkerBlade]

Watching his training videos in the OFF season (wearing his united training gear) he does seem to take his fitness very seriously.

Wilder did say on many occasions that we had some players that were carrying injuries and niggles.

He seemed to manage 90mins earlier in the season, could he have been carrying a slight injury?

Harold Shipman is our club doctor, that can’t help!

Yes it was called “outonthepisstilllateitis”. Something that was noted by a few commentators in and around Sheffield City Centre. He is Dutch after all. It seems Wilder indulged him quite considerably.
