Gustavo Hamer

[Sithblade]

Would love to see Gus stay and be given a role in the starting eleven that doesn't involve defending or pressing. Somehow, let him have a free role between the striker(s) and midfield.

Should do what Warnock said to Adel Taarabt, just stay in the opposition half and don't come into our own half.

2 Prem clubs in for him will work very much to our advantage, play this right and we can start a bidding war.

Doesn't count if it's Leeds and Coventry.

Is this where we finally see Gus moved to more of a role he had at Coventry?

Let’s assume Dobbin is incoming.

That gives you Dobbin on the left, and Oné also perhaps having a chance there is an impact sub.

You currently have Donovan replacing André Brooks and Chong competing with him.

You’ve then got O’Hare behind Bamford or you have Cannon and Campbell competing if we go two up front as well as Oné as a forward option and Chong as a 10. You also still have Marsh, Ukaki and Nwachukwu to make decisions on.

Hamer played in midfield with O’Hare just in front. Sk now we have Riedewald who is very much defensive minded, does Gus get to be more box to box? It leaves Arblaster and Rothwell backing up.

Does that then free up Hamer to be more central and more involved, where he scored double figure goals and assists for Coventry but also create an avenue for us to cash in on Peck?

It feels like you lose some pace but Coventry seemed to cope and positionally perhaps Riedewald remains disciplined to allow Gus more freedom?

Without this, how does Wilder plan to move Gus more centrally unless he’s dropping O’Hare.

You then maybe end up with Arblaster aside Riedewald and Hamer in more of a 10 and perhaps O’Hare drifts wide? Perhaps we lose Chong as well, have O’Hare wide and bring in another central midfielder for depth or Marsh steps in. Or maybe that is also a role Sykes fills up?

Too many questions to answer !!
I may come up with some answers in the evening of 15/08.

None of this matters as we can score goals - it's just that we can't defend - where are the defenders?

The problem is, Champers, that if he's in the final year of his contract then it has to be either an extension or a sale.

All else is dejphonic.

Sometimes you have to take a view. Is it worth not having the limited fee and wages saving and downgrade that may bring? Or is it better to keep him and improve your chances of achieving?

I’d say he falls into calculated gamble.

 

[Kenilworth]

World Cup scorer, I’ll have you know!

It think not. Their only goal was scored by Commencia.

If Chong is competing, we’re truly fucked!

I’d say he falls into calculated gamble.

If it were a young star, e.g. Ndiaye or Berge, it'd be criminal to let them leave for free, but he'll be 30 by the time he's out of contract and I don't think we'd get anywhere near the Brooks fee for him now anyway. Unless someone is going to offer us far more than he's realistically worth as a player in his last year of contract I say keep. Also he's allegedly very settled where he is so may extend anyway.

 

[Rocketmark66]

Maybe he's in discussion about a new short term contract of let's say an additional 1year on top of what he's got left. But with a £5m realease clause set into it.

 

[BangorBlade]

The way I look at it, Gus has a year left on his contract, we can hold on to him and hope he signs a new one if not he goes on a free, but if Coventry want him that bad make sure they pay top price for him but make sure Coventry have to work hard for his signature.

 

[brownblade]

Either sell him or don't. But do it today. Or 3 weeks ago.

We've got no replacements or options in for attacking midfield or left wing.

 

[Frank the tank]

If Chong is competing, we’re truly fucked!

With current waiting lists they’ll be waiting a while. Also, I’m not attending matches, why’d I want to spend money to do that when I could creosote the fence and get the same enjoyment?

 

[MagnifiqueShorehamStreet]

Just shows how the football wheel of fortune has changed for both clubs.
4 years ago,he jumped ship to join us in the Prem, when they looked nowhere near getting there, and now,it’s the exact opposite situation for both clubs.
Can’t say I blame him so long as we get top dollar.He wants to go,and Coventry want to buy,so it’s not if but when,sadly.

 

[MagnifiqueShorehamStreet]

Make that only 3 years ago!

 

[Northyorksblade]

[PeterNdlovu081]

A couple of months before he signed for us he scored for Coventry in the Championship play off final.

Season ticket holder from being 8 up to 24, dropped the season ticket as I worked every weekend, Opted to bin it off the past two years as the football is laughably wank to watch.

 

[Proper Blade]

I'm not surprised only Coventry seem to be in for Hamer tbh. He's already shown he's not good enough for the Prem and that was a couple of years ago when he was younger, quicker and fitter. He's obviously very good but you can't really carry a player like that in the Prem.

It would be a shame to lose him as he's great to watch when on form, and there aren't many other players like him in the division. But realistically, if we get something close to £10m for him then we've done alright out of it considering he would probably leave next summer for free.

The bigger question for me is whether we have replacements lined up and how good they are...
