CONFIRMED Hamer joins Coventry

[biggiesablade]

This injury, assuming it isn't too serious could be the best thing that happens to him. He looks like he needs a break. Let's hope he comes back with a fire in his belly

Got enough in his belly looks like he necks gaviscon

The only fire in Hamer's belly most of the time is the chili sauce on his doner kebab AMIRITE???

 

[TopBoy]

Hamer should've tried to get booked on Saturday while eating his balti pie in the stand to serve his 1-game suspension for getting 5 yellows. You know that when he does come back, he'll get booked in his first game and be suspended.

 

[LBA_Blade]

Can't see it happening. Great player, but he'll be 29 and as much as I love Gus, he doesn't exactly look after himself like most athletes do! Would try and get rid in January, and get as much money out of Leeds as possible.

They said in the summer they had a load of money to spend to try and keep them up. Although a long way to go given the current standings if they are around just above the relegation zone, I think they will have a splurge. Although I haven't seen much of Leeds this year and unsure where Gus would fit into their plans/formation as they seem to play a 4-3-3 so it would be either on the left or centre mid, is he good enough especially coming off the back of an injury of however many weeks? Time will tell, but we will have to replace or at least strengthen elsewhere, their last minute bid in Aug/Sept was supposedly either a £2mill up front with a deal of £13mill on the cards or some form of swap deal with Joel Piroe. If that offer was in January, I could see us taking it as he does have form (not a like for like swap) but as a 10, he is a 1 in 3 at worse at Championship level (73 goals in 181 games (Swansea and Leeds)). Could easily slot into the formation and we have cover if Hamer did go.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Hasn't his missus gone back to Holland and taken their son with her? If so I could definitely see him returning there in January if we can get a decent fee..

If true, it's no wonder his hearts not in it this season.

That's hard for anybody.

Feel sympathetic that he didn't get his move to Holland this Summer.

Forget how much he's paid, that's hard for anybody. Nothing comes before your kids.

He must've had his heart set on it because I understand the issues you speak of were around during the Summer.

He should have played 1 minute got booked then subbed off.

 

[Bertie Mee]

No one offered £25m, he wouldn't be here if so. He isn't worth it.

I must have dreamt it then

 

[Weasel]

Scarlett Johansson once offered £25m to me to sleep with her. I was mulling over the idea (thinking of asking for some extra dirty foreplay to be chucked into the deal to sweeten it more for me) when the transfer broke down after I woke up. Bloody annoying that too and i still kick myself for not sealing the transfer quickly (maybe subconsciously, i also move on these things as quick as United do).

Amazing

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

I think we'd be lucky to get our money back at this stage. He's been woeful this season & looks unfit. We're working a lot harder without him and look a bit more organised overall.

I love Hamer & he can be a brilliant player, but the fact he wasn't in high demand over the summer despite us being open to offers on most properties is very telling.

 

[UddersBlade]

Think he’ll be off back to Holland in January or next summer latest - fee will be £5 to £10 million at best.

 

[Weasel]

Well, we will hardly miss him on this seasons form. Cant miss what you havent had. The amount you mention id sell Hamer tomorrow for. But, we know that he is capable of so much more. For me, id give him til January to see what hes doing. Nothing? Get rid. Contributing? leave till the summer.

 

[LBA_Blade]

To be honest, I would probably accept that, his contract expires in 2027, he is one of the bigger earners on approx £30k a week. League dependent we will also entering into final year of parachute payments (we are highly unlikely to go up). Looking at the squad, I think we have covered CB,DM,AM and the left side. Potentially a RB needed and working out the CF's

Desperately Needed...CF
Urgently Needed........RB
Needed......................Powerful CM
Wanted......................Don't even go there

[ekke287]

I thought he was pretty absent yesterday. He needs to show his quality more often.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

There's every reason to sell him and no reason to keep him

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

The bloke just annoys me now. £30k a week and he can’t keep fit? Flog him and tell the fitness staff to piss off as well.

Cant keep fit is an understatement, he needs to join Slimming World or Weight Watchers in new year, looks like hes swallowed a sofa this season. Added to the fact he cant be arsed to put any effort him and a manager that wont drop him hes the very definition of coasting.

Get shut in Jan and use the funds to buy 2 new keepers and a striker for when Bamford fucks off oh and also purchase a fitness plan for Campbell

 

[Keen Blade]

It's far too easy these days for players to coast along on big money.
I try not to think what we've spent on that chuff from Atalanta & the winner of last season's PoTC , who is now basically "retired" from making any effort.

 

[Mario1889]

He looks over weight and disinterested.

If we can get £20m for him next month, that’ll be good business and we should do it.

No fecker is parting with £20m for the current iteration of Hamer - £5-£10m tops

Spot on with Campbell, he can hardly run ffs!

 

[Thrice]

I think the overweight comments are a bit unfair. He just has that stocky body type. He doesn't look out of shape to me on the field.

Hamer & Campbell could lose a stone in weight ! No doubt Hamer is heavier than when we signed him.Campbell must have a long term issue which stops him getting fitter losing weight in the process.What that is we dont know whats for sure is there weight problems will shorten there careers
At a top level.

 

[bertieblade]

Campbell is not only unfit but is not prepared to,push himself beyond comfort level, either worried in case something goes or just can’t be arsed either way he is never pushing himself

You're right that he has a stocky build, but he is carrying. Have a look at photos of him when he was at Coventry, he's about a stone heavier now.

He's some player on his day, but they're becoming rarer. He wanted his move back to Holland in the Summer and didn't get it and now he's mentally checked out. We should've sold.

 

[Blacksea]

Are there any statistics from games comparing running and heat maps and such like that compares Hamer with the other players?

You wouldn’t stay at Stoke for 7 seasons without having underlying problems.
