CONFIRMED Hamer joins Coventry

[Pedro Verde]

City are holding out for 75 million for Rodri. It feels like we are on a par with the likes of Oxford.

City have no need to sell £75m is pocket change to them surely youre not that dense

 

[Maidenhead]

West Ham are supposedly paying £5 million + plus 2 million add ons for Manor Soloman, who's a couple of years young than Gus.

And a damn sight better than Gus

 

[Sky Blues]

I understand when you’re desperate you do desperate things, and football fans just want the best for their club. We’ve been there, many times, and even a very good book - Fit and Proper, check it out it’s an excellent read - written about our litany of dubious chairmen.

However what pissed us off about your protest is that it affected the football and almost cost us a very important victory. We had no part to play in your situation, but it almost costs us. At the time it was 1-1 and we were pushing hard for a winner and on top. The break in play was not what we needed at that time, however we did manage to get the winner, but you didn’t give it to us.

Charlton had a similar protest that season. They disrupted the game by throwing tennis balls on the pitch after one minute of play. It got the attention of the wider football world but didn’t affect the result on the pitch.
Doing it with 5 minutes to go could have. Our fans fully supported Charlton with their protest. As I said, we’d been there many times.

You may have been there before, but try playing your home games outside of Sheffield twice because of your owners and getting points deductions because they wanted to get out of the contracts for what should have been your own home ground.

And as I reminded you our protesting gifted you the winning goal. I could understand if it had cost you but it didn't. It gave you the win.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Hamer aside, and I totally get why he wants a move. He almost went to Leeds last year but they’ve moved on.

But one real quick question. What are you doing here on a Sheff U forum? Genuinely tried to work out why, and I can’t.

Have a look. I've been coming on here for a long time. Like to chat about our games with decent people who like the same. Was always made to feel welcome when you were the team going places and we were struggling. That's changed now.

Now I'm just here for any Hamer news. My club doesn't release any information at all these days. We have to get all of our info from elsewhere.

Don't worry. Once the transfer is done you won't hear from me until we play each other again.

Thank f**** for that

 

[Maidenhead]

GLTTL . Really enjoyed watching him at times and a very good player on his day so it’s a shame he’s gone . But we move on and let’s hope it frees up some wages for a couple of players .
Cheers Gus it’s been a pleasure!
As ever UTB!

Well said.

He was fantastic in possession and great to watch on his day, but he also had a suspect temperament, gave the ball away cheaply in poor areas, and was hopeless out of possession.

Broadly speaking I think the good and the poor just about balanced each other out, but I will really miss seeing the good bits.

He was top for assists according to Sky who just broadcast that info about 30 minutes ago. It is a surprise given his mid season yellow card suspension and the fact we were poor overall last year.

He was and without wishing to downplay that stat

We wanted the game disrupting just like the others. We've weren't interested in winning. We were after a response from the FA as well as trying to put pressure on our owners. If the game had got abandoned you would have got the 3 points and our owners would have got a fine. It would have put it on the back page of the newspapers.

The problem was...and still is....there's supposed to be a fit and proper test. But there's constantly bad owners taking over clubs. The FA turns a blind eye and just continues.

Now you have a bad owner. If he takes you lower you will start to understand. You will see the football community sticks together. If you reach the stage of having to protest you will see that you're not alone.

You disrupted the game.every time we got near your end

We got the winner despite your protest, not because of it.
We aren’t being wise after the event because it ended well. It was the wrong thing to do at that time.
If you’d have done it in the first 10 minutes you would have probably got a lot of support from us, as Charlton fans did.

 

[Carlton Blade]

A Poxy 6 Million - City are holding out for 75 million for Rodri. It feels like we are on a par with the likes of Oxford.

We are much, much, much closer to Oxford than we are City financially

 

[Bladesman]

 

[Carlton Blade]

We actually had a better win percentage in games he didn't start last season.

He can turn a game on its head in the blink of an eye, but we didn't miss him last season like people are making out.

Because he missed a run of games against teams in the bottom 6

 

[Blade56]

TBH I not a big fan of Gus.

The potential has always been there but his fitness, weight, off field issues and discipline has stopped him giving us the 100% Blades fans expect from a player.

 

[Spadge54]

Good player on his day but there’s been loads of instances where he should have stood out and didn’t, games where he should have made the difference and he went missing.

Well said B56...finally typing some sense!!

 

[HOT CURRIE 10]

Good luck to Gus,lovely player and creator of magic moments but that is what they were. Hope he does well,he will certainly get fitter and probably played in his favoured position.

 

[brownblade]

I'll never understand this weight arguement. Some players have different builds. It's genetics etc. They can't change being a bit short and stocky. Some people used to call Rooney fat as well

 

[ben1987]

Absofuckinglutely.

It was like a party atmosphere every time they went on the attack but the moment we stepped over half way the disruptions started. Whistling, throwing shit on to the pitch.

We wanted to play a game of football and get the 3 points we needed. Cov fans did everything they could to prevent it.

Once we’d won they then gave it the big-un as we all left trying to start trouble because we’d had the audacity to try and win.

They’d have had some support and sympathy had they done it pre/post game or consistently throughout the game at appropriate points but they didn’t.

Now the insufferable cunts have a totally inaccurate recollection to tally up with their favourite pass time of forcing rivalries with clubs that couldn’t give a flying fuck about their shithole of a city.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

One’s a Ballon d’or winner and one has spent a single season in the PL

But apart from that...

I'll never understand this weight arguement. Some players have different builds. It's genetics etc. They can't change being a bit short and stocky. Some people used to call Rooney fat as well

And part of the reason he's long washed up as a footballer.. you are right some of it is genetic and the player can't be blamed for it but it can limit their ceiling as a footballer. Messi and maradona are generational freaks not the norm

You have had a horrendous time over the last few years ....
I dont begrudge you a moment in the sun
Good luck .

Every club has their fair share of knuckle draggers mate , us included .

 

[ekke287]

Cant argue against anyone being pessimistic, its more the complete negative narrative with nothing positive to say.

Hamer going isnt now making us relegation. We will bring people in maybe 1 full signing and loans. I dont think we will make play offs, but we wont be relegated.

Wilder will be a lot different having a full season.

Yes, an additional six games for Wilder will make a world of difference.

 

[FTPE]

Yes, an additional six games for Wilder will make a world of difference.

6 games.
2 training camps.
A pre season.
3 friendlies and a transfer window.

 

[Rodley]

He doesn't live in dronfield

 

[BadgersBigToe]

Yes, an additional six games for Wilder will make a world of difference.

Don’t forget the preseason

I agree. It always felt like the whole team were waiting on him to do something amazing to drag us out a hole when they should have been more effective as a unit. Doesn’t help him not being played in his best position half the time either.
Maybe if we get some wingers it’ll add more balance with COH through the middle

 

[Rudders]

6 games.
2 training camps.
A pre season.
3 friendlies and a transfer window.

Maybe that’s why they paid £6M. Impressively despite all that, he is still about a stone and a half overweight!!

 

[ancientblade]

gus hamer was a great player for us and probably irreplacable but playing premier league and probably doubling his salary think it was inevitable but we move on no one player is bigger than the club lets hope we can now bring in 2 or 3 quality loans in

 

[Sky Blues]

You have had a horrendous time over the last few years ....

Good luck .

Thanks.

Either our new signings are going to be as good as they look or it isn't going to be much fun. But at least our younger supporters, those in their low 30's and younger, will get the chance to see top players thrashing us in some great stadiums.

I hope you get your ownership problems sorted out. Ours ended up with our supporters fighting with each other when we decided to boycott our games and some refused to boycott when we were playing at Northampton.

Horrendous playing in Northampton
Its like us playing in Mansfield.
I think you go down , however i hope you stay up .
The elite need to be dismantled.
Id love to see Everton or Bournemouth go down .
Good luck mate
We are not all bitter

 

[calcalcal]

I did say you owed us £5m but I've been I've told it's only £3.75m so we got him for £2.25m plus add ons.
Enjoy your derby v Mansfield today.
Don't bother replying iam fucking off now, might pop in at Xmas to say hi.

Is that before or after your annual wash?
