Those downplaying Hamer are kidding themselves, assuming softening blow of him leaving in there own minds.

Of course he’s not perfect, but would start, without question, at every club in the Championship. We will not recruit a player as good as Hamer to fill the gap.

It’s possible we could rebalance / reshape the side, but a LFL replacement? Forget it.

Exactly. There's some right revisionist bollocks already.

If he does go, we need someone who is willing to show up, show for the ball and want to dictate how we play. Because when he went off at Wembley it was abundantly clear that we didn't have that. Souza's presence, Burrows' crossing, Kieffer's headers, O'Hare's pressing all great qualities but not one of them dictating play.

Only after major major investment or a few more yo yo years.
It's a shame that our fan base think we should be there instantly.
I think if you ask the majority of us who only missed a few division 4 games if we would take where we are right now as bloody decent, disappointing, but decent, then yes.
We are comaplaining about getting 92 points in the championship like it is not acceptable.

I've watched much more entertaining football finishing lower.

I agree,we're nowhere near ready for the prem,doubt the three promoted sides are either.

Points are only one side of the conversation.Does that highlight our superiority,or poorer quality of the rest.🤔

I go to be entertained,not to puff my chest out.I'm no tub thumper.

Iv'e said previously,no promotion this season is a blessing in disguise.

We had talent beyond Hamer this season too,very poorly utilised to my mind.

I'll be back when more consisent entertainment returns.

All those points ultimately counted for diddly🙏
 
Sadly i think Hamer will be gone and I'm really not sure how we replace him. Our creativity & technical ability in the team has been on a gradual downward spiral for a a couple of seasons. We have lost multiple technical players and Hamer is the only one of quality left in my opinion.

We've lost Didzy, Ndiaye, MGW, McAtee, Doyle, Berge, Rak-Saki, Archer. I think some of the youngsters we have now are good, and Campbell and O'hare are of a decent quality for this level but I do think generally the quality has regressed. Understandable in some respects but to me we could've recruited more of these types of players (instead of Moore, Shackleton etc), played better football as a result and therefore maybe been promoted.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing!
 
I thought Hamer might have gone last season. He's been great this season, I wonder what we would have finished on if he wasn't in the squad.

I think he will move on, and good luck to him. He is too good form championship but I think maybe not good enough for an established Premier league side... I do get the feeling he would be happy taking a big PL wage and not playing a lot of football...

We need to get this sorted quickly either way because either get him gone (in my mind with my thanks and best wishes) and we use the cash, or we keep him, build the squad for next season around him, in his best position.

He needs to get his calves sorted. All season they go at about 60 minutes.
 
He could easily regularly start games for the promoted clubs and maybe one or two other strugglers, but he may also get interest from higher up the league. If you look at, for example, Forest, Newcastle, Palace, the demands of European football require and afford greater squad depth than they currently have. There's arguably a place there on the 60-90+10mins shift, rather than 0-60mins in the relegation battle.
 
Love Hamer, not just as a player but a personality, plays with a smile but can dish it out (too often!)

But, how would we replace MGW?
Ndaiye?
Mcatee?

A new hero will step up if he goes

Personally don’t think he has the athleticism for Prem, and he isn’t going to improve at 27yr old

Stuck around and become a ledge Gus
 
Unless we have a replacement, keep him, thats what contracts are for... its not as if we are skint... we spent £10mill+ on Tom Cannon!!
If money does need bringing in then Anel and souza are easier to replace.

Saying that, if Anel was sold his lordship would no doubt bring in the right footed version of Jack Robinson
 



Does anyone know if the transfer release fee which was valid until a certain date last summer, kick in again this summer if we didn't go up?

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.

Dont remember ndiaye or Mgw getting dogs abuse.

If I was Gus, I'd ahead abroad.

He has nothing left to prove in this division and can pick up a bigger pay cheque in a less physically demanding league that will suit his style.
Holland, Germany or Italy.

If we can get £20m for him, I don't think we should stand in his way.

A great player, full of entertainment, but I always felt our side looked a little imbalanced with him in that wide position.
You can't replace Gus like-for-like in this division but utilise the funds wisely and we may look a better team.

Anel & Souza will likely follow him out the door.
Souza is the one I really hope we can keep.

Thing is, we aren't getting 20m.plus if he heads abroad.

In the latest videos with O'Hare and Gus, quick fire questions they get asked who is the better trainer of the two, and they both quickly answer Cal. Hamer alludes to just wanting to turn up and do his magic.

I don't think he is that sort to force a move anyway.

But he didn't force a move to the lane from Coventry. But when we bid and then had it accepted he would then of course have informed Coventry he wished to move.
(And there will have been chatter going on between the club and his agent behind the scenes)

I suspect he will leave. BUT he has 2 years left on his deal. So a club would need to meet our valuation. If he had 1 year left then it's a different matter, we seem to go for the cash in option if they won't agree a new deal.

At a minimum that valuation is £20m a very bare minimum £18m with add ons. Realistically for me he is £25m, perhaps including add ons that are realistic that they would come to pass.

Agreed given his age now, on a 4 year deal puts him in his early 30s so he doesn’t have that much left on the transfer market realistically

That's the second version isn't it?
"It's disgusting what Brewster earns,
I'll be back when more consistent entertainment returns,
It's gonna be United all the way...."

With Brewster it will be disappointing if it isn’t one year with an option to extend for a year. Can’t have him tie us into another long contract
