Gustavo Hamer

[Revolution]

His season this season reminds me of Lundstroms last season. So much ability little impact. Criminal really

Oh yes. 16 goals and assists combined - same as last season in 1,000 less minutes. Most assists in the Championship. What a waster.

I am at a loss as to why so many people undervalue Hamer.

I want to keep him because I like watching him and it will be beyond us to replace his goals and assists.

They’d obviously rather see a team of Rothwell’s and Shackleton’s.

Selling our most creative player because they think he likes a kebab and has a bit of chub.

 

[Uganda Blade]

Maybe the question that ought to be asked is: how should we best use him so that we get his creativity but give the team balance?

 

[KMC-1889]

I’ve come full circle on Hamer and decided we should learn from Berge & Illiman and let him run down his contract here.

There’s no way our current recruitment brings in someone with the same creativity. He’ll be replaced by a grafter that gets the club.

I think everybody would love to see hamer stay ,and absolutely knuckle down

Bring em home or grafters come first

Types like him and Mousett much prefer the kebab sbops. Can't be messing around with lazy expensive players anymore

I agree, except club needs the cash to replace the other 18 tosspots we need to get rid off

We could never replace a player who tosses away possession at the rate of knots that he does even if we signed two nick Montgomery's to play in his position

Don't think your doing Gus any favours by classing him with mousett totally different characters

I think analysis of Hamer should start with what he does well, rather than what he doesn’t.

he does lose the ball a lot though. So when he goes the likes of Chong might have twice as many opportunities to create bugger all.

With McCallum in the side I think down the left would be best, otherwise potentially behind Bamford but not bringing Chong into the mix.

I have the poster you’re responding to on ignore, but if the criticism is that he gives the ball away too much, that’s because he actually tries to play it forwards.

Players taking risks are always going to have more things not come off than the safe and sideways players.

Only in the world of Sheffield United is forward thinking and creativity seen as a negative trait.

The post below sums up the stats for Gus following yesterday’s game, I’d rather have Gus, CoH or Brooks in the team than some of shite cloggers we have as alternatives.

Post in thread 'A few observations from the stats: Hamer, O’Hare & Brooks'

Saturday at 8:25 PM

Update to stats:

Despite repeated criticism, Hamer remains the most creative player in the Championship, with his 11 league assists the most of any player in the Championship, despite starting just 26 games

Hamer:

- 0.62 goal contributions per start (5 goals 11 assists), O’Hare 0.4 (9 goals 7 assists), Brooks 0.29 (6 goals 2 assists)

- dispossessed 0.4 times per game (O’Hare 0.9, Brooks 0.9)

- 0.9 unsuccessful touches per game (O’Hare 2.1, Brooks 1.9)

- 1.8 key passes per game (O’Hare 1.3, Brooks 0.8)

- 1.4 crosses per game (O’Hare 0.1, Brooks 0.2)

So he loses possession at...

If Hamer stays we absolutely need to bin Burrows off. The combination of those two on our left hand side has cost us more goals than Hamer’s goal contributions. Hamer is a positive for us if he has a proper LB behind him.

 

[Uganda Blade]

McCallum definitely strengthens us on the left, but would still be doing the work of two men.
I suspect we'd probably get the best out of Hamer behind Bamford in essentially a free role in a 4-4-1-1.
But then, O'Hare on the left wing, or left out (if CW surprises us and signs a left-winger)?

It would be nice for some round pegs for the round holes for a change or at least someone half decent. Not sure if One is up to championship standard yet but he played on the left for Lincoln a few times. It’s better than the current subs of replacing Chong with Ings and other crazy ideas. But yeah I think you are right if he stays he would be of value in both service and shots. If we are only getting £5mill it depends on how desperate we are to offload his wages as that’s the only benefit as it wouldn’t be £5mill up front this season probably looking at it being paid over 3 seasons

Best Hamer has looked is when he was played in the 10 when we experimented with that 3-5-2. Really got to see glimpses of how he could run games and not let other teams exploit our left flank so much.

Yeah burrows last two contributions of the game yesterday sum him up for me
Neshed a challenge he was favourite for and then filled his y-fronts when given a chance to score
Mcallum was fine with hamer In Front of him

Why not play McCallum with Burrows in front of him as the left winger

 

[Nick Jansky]

Why not play McCallum with Burrows in front of him as the left winger

That’ll be because Burrows isn’t a left winger. Can’t go past players. And he’s very left footed so Wilder wouldn’t play him on the left wing. He’s a LWB.
