CONFIRMED Hamer joins Coventry

[Half Bond Jls]

I thought Chris had got a half and half shirt on there for a minute

I know, I was almost going to tag Swiss Blade in.

 

[Broomhall Blade]

81st min and he’s just played a lovely ball over the top for O’Hare and then taken the resulting corner

So what are you saying that he might have a broken leg ?

 

[fireblade]

Just highlights how limited Wilder is. Any manager worth his job would have got someone with two unbroken legs to have taken the corner.

 

[SwissBlade]

So what are you saying that he might have a broken leg ?

We can’t rule it out

 

[SwissBlade]

Ah so not as bad as what fans are saying online then?

I don’t know what they’ve said, I can only comment on what I saw right after your post… Reight ball to O’Hare. Shite corner.

He didn’t look in any pain but played a shite corner so can’t rule it out

 

[Yogi]

Never mind Coventry…Hull are a lot worse and they’ve not signed anyone of note either. They’ll both be coming straight back down, you’d think with Ipswich.

Hull being beaten to a signing by Real Madrid was a bit of a surreal moment though

Gus Hamer ‘open’ to Coventry return as favourite faces Sheffield United fans

Coventry City transfer news from CoventryLive as Hamer addresses Sheffield United fans in Germany

www.coventrytelegraph.net

Interesting quote:

“United are believed to value the former CBS Arena favourite between £15m-£20m. Coventry sold him for £15m.”

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Doesn't take Alan Turing to decode what Wilder means from his post match comments. We are expecting him to leave.

 

[bertieblade]

never expected to sell him for the figure quoted, if we achieve more than £10m with a year on his contract it is a no brainer

 

[ancientblade]

make starting bids 10m minimum lets see how much coventry want him

You can tell by how frosty he is during that presser regarding transfers.

Yea, he definitely didn't like being asked the questions did he.
He sort of alluded that to get two centre halves in, it would need a player to leave..

Doesn't feel backed.

Lacking creativity.

Lacking defensive solidarity.

Needs to sell his only creativity to instil some solidarity. Thrilling.

He sounded like someone had just took a shit on his carpet. So I’m assuming the transfer business isn’t going to plan.

That will be McGuinness

Definitely. His comments on Hamer there left me with zero confidence he's staying.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

On the assumption Hamer won't sign a new contract under any circumstances, I think it probably would be the right thing to move him on provided the funds (no less than £7/8m) can be used.

I don't think we're in a top 2 fight this year, so we have to take a longer term business decision on it.

It'll be a shame to see him go, but - like with Berge - I'm surprised he's been here as long as he has.

Whilst, pragmatically, I'm almost there with you in terms of this thinking and planning, emotionally I want him to stay and spitefully I want him to go anywhere but Cov just to spoil their joy.

I think his general shape is enough to spoil their joy in a very competitive premier league

yes agree with you captain hamer played the last few games of last season looking like a man who knew he wouldnt be here this season but i dont think hes premier league and think he will get caught out fitness and pace wise in the prem coventry fans will see a different hamer than the one they sold us 8/10m and i would snatch their hands off

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

I think due to living down here, I feel it more than most on this forum as it'll be rammed down my throat when it happens. I'm hopeful for Blades back home that, social media aside, it'll be a bit more out of sight, out of mind. Here, there'll be a collective jizzfest.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Definitely time to cash in. I'd be happy with around the 8m mark. Get Joe Geldhart to replace.

 

[chesblade]

Sky saying talks continue but difference in valuation

will be same situation with souttar other way both selling clubs probably after 10m both buying clubs offering 5m

I agree with this to the point where I don't really see who it benefits (probably us the most to be honest).

I don't think Coventry (fans) will get the player they think they're getting and we lose a valuable asset even if he's not been right at the top of his game recently.

If I were a newly promoted team, i'd prefer to go with younger players with potential rather than someone approaching 30 who may have seen his best days already?
If we get a good price, I'd be sad but not devastated.


Obviously, we'll now sell him for peanuts and Coventry will revitalise him to be far better than he ever was

 

[Hallamboy87]

I think people are getting confused here. He won't be starting in their midfield. He will be used as a squad player. Come off the bench after 60/70 mins as that's when he will be effective with his fitness issues.
We desperately need him off the wage bill and I would be happy for 5 million. He's in the last year of his contract so I would prefer to get a fee than lose him for nothing.

 

[gaffablade]

If you are right Hallamboy, id rather keep him than 'cash in' on £5m

 

[Keen Blade]

Definitely time to cash in. I'd be happy with around the 8m mark. Get Joe Geldhart to replace.

Will Hull part with Geldhardt though ?

 

[Houso]

Will Hull part with Geldhardt though ?

Given he's a Leeds player...
