CONFIRMED Hamer joins Coventry

[Wards]

Dogging or footballing?!

I'd rather watch him dogging from what I've seen of his footballing ability.

 

[Davalon]

People saying they're not fussed are gonna love it when they get to watch Jamie Shackleton every week instead

I'm pretty sure Shacks won't be replacing him

 

[Berkshire Blade]

25 million?

I know the new TV deal will inflate fees but if it's that I would drive him myself. Physically limited technically good. The amount of times he was going down with muscle issues would put most people off I would have thought

 

[Wards]

I'm sure you understand the sentiment

 

[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

I dont trust Wilder to spend the money. Prefer to sell Hamer after Wilders gone.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

Hope he stays as he's a great player. Wouldn't surprise me if he wanted to go as he looks like he can't be arsed sometime.

Limped off when we needed him Saturday.

You'd rather he stayed on the pitch injured?

 

[JohnDenver]

Well, let's hope Leeds or Everton can get Hamer fit and capable of playing more than 70 minutes. Very clever player but some clubs would regard him as a luxury.

The fact I agree with that doesn’t diminish what I think of him as a player for us. He’s immense.

But the levels of the Prem are such that his fitness will notably diminish his market value.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

You'd rather he stayed on the pitch injured?

What is his injury?

 

[Karaoke Blade]

What is his injury?

I've no idea. But he was clearly injured. He could hardly walk.That's why they took him off.

 

[Frank the tank]

He's under contract and Leeds have already said they are willing to spend big to keep them up so for them £100million if Everton £30million plus Iliman

People on this forum keep repeating that but their rumoured budget is 100 million which is about what i expected ours to be

100M. Imagine the signing on fee for Gus, he could so some danger at Big Sam's or Fat Sam's or Gluttonous Sam's or whatever it was called!

 

[bornablade]

Hamer to Everton, DCL in return.

 

[HeySethUTB]

Leeds can do one, he’d only be plying his trade back in the championship after next season anyway, because that brand of football will get picked apart. Everton is a safer bet.

 

[skegblade]

But the depth and quality of premier league squads mean they can replace him after 70 minutes with someone as good if not better.

If there better they would be playing before him durely
Prem managers have more nous than our encumbant

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Would I be that bothered if old Guts Hamburger was flogged in the Summer? Not particularly. That picture of him sat on his arse before the game with more chins than a Chinese Telephone Directory was the final straw for me. At least two to three stone overweight, eats and drinks allegedly like a cross between Marlon Brando and Richard Burton. If he can’t be arsed to stay fit then get rid and take your number one fan Wilder and his fitness team with you,

 

[Railway Blade]

Hamer to Everton, DCL in return.

God no.

 

[Th!stledo]

Unfortunately his departure seems inevitable.
I just hope that our new owners are as savvy as the Prince was and make sure we don't let him go cheaply.

 

[FriethBlade]

Much more likely he is the one doing the 'replacing' after 70 mins

 

[Blade56]

You'd rather he stayed on the pitch injured?

I’d rather him stay on the pitch fit.

 

[robbiez666]

Hamer to Everton, DCL in return.

I'm going to say no

 

[Nick Jansky]

100M. Imagine the signing on fee for Gus, he could so some danger at Big Sam's or Fat Sam's or Gluttonous Sam's or whatever it was called!

He’d buy the place.

 

[Booker4]

I'll always like Hamer and I think he goes with our blessings even if it's Leeds because Leeds now are a PL club, sadly. It's not like when Bogle joined Leeds in the summer. I obviously hope he doesn't join Leeds but wherever he goes i wish him well personally, less so at Leeds obviously!

He seems a decent guy too and he's been our best player. Let's remember he stayed after relegation and could have pushed for a move.

 

[Gimli]

There’s inevitably going to be some outgoings and whilst it’s a shame, Hamer looks to be the most likely to leave.

I just hope there’s a decent plan for the incomings and I hope it’s not just on Wilder’s say so - he’s done a lot for this club but his signings, particularly with money to spend, particularly recently, have been hit and miss and we can’t afford to mess up this season.

 

[AlienWoodward]

I'd like him to stay but he's hardly Glyn Hodges is he.
We've lost better players.

 

[Booker4]

Hodges was class but I'd personally prefer Hamer as Hodges was inconsistent, apart from the first half season on loan. That's my view but on his day Hodges was sublime and I know Hamer doesn't perform every week but I think overall hrs pretty consistent.

 

[Cheesebored]

We're a bunch of wankers as a fan base aren't we? Fat, burger, insert any food related insult you prefer. He's a joy to watch mostly although not beyond criticism. We did the same with Ndiaye and MGW. Entertainers clearly aren't for everyone. MGW wasn't even our player but was a joy to watch and always gave 100%, still got dogs abuse. It's really strange behaviour.

I personally don't want him to go and would rather sell next year when he's still got a year left. Call him unfit if you like but the way he motored to create our first and only play-off final goal was impressive. We should build this years promotion push around him. But if for some reason we feel compelled to sell.. then please don't trust Wilder with the cash.

 

[Frank the tank]

Can't see a Premier League club coming in for him if I'm honest
He's not fit enough for a start and doesn't seem to have the desire to be a top level player

 

[originaltrueblade]

Gustavo will give it one more shot …trust me

 

[William Large]

He a superb player who at times is a joy to watch and has given us some great moments.

Unfortunately for everything good he gives, he tries something which doesn’t / is never going to come off, he commits completely unnecessary fouls and gives the ball away far too often. We need consistency from him if he’s going to stay, but also need to play him in the middle not on the wing.

MGW learnt from his mistakes in the season we had him and has gone on to be one of the best players in the premier league. I think Ndiaye will provide similar over the next year or so and both will end up at one of the top 4 teams.

Hamer has the ability to be a top, top player but I doubt he will ever have the dedication and professionalism to see him move up a level consistently.

I guess if he stays we have to just accept his flaws and enjoy him for what he is. For me if we can get a good amount for him and replace with someone more consistent for the team as a whole, I would sadly, probably take it.

Not that it’s up to me of course.
