CONFIRMED Hamer joins Coventry

[HOT CURRIE 10]

Think Gus will leave with his head held high and as arguably the best player at the Lane for the past 10 years. Only Ndiaye could challenge that but he didn't win a league POTY.

Cannon's ambitious finishing more like

O'Hare's rare shooting
Arblaster's dead knee

Plenty to choose from

Can I have what you are drinking please Mr Hamer.

Braced?

More likely hotly anticipating!

I brace myself every time Nick Jansky drives by ,waving, and casually tossing back his curls in his open top Z3

You need to get him to have his hair braided like you, solves that! UTB

He won't let anyone touch him from the waist up

 

[Cheeky Blade]

Hamer is in that weird spot where he's too talented for the Championship, but not physically gifted enough for the Premier League.

Welcome…to the Norwood Zone.

Looks like they're signing another midfielder, pretty heavy in that area now

 

[Dave]

Lot of money to spend and then to throw 5-10M on hamer who is in the last year of his contract - silly signing for me which is fueled by sentimental value rather than player value or ability.

They certainly would have been had they signed Hamer. Sorry, couldn't resist

£10m is a bargain for 3 or 4 years of Hamer, on a very reasonable Premier League wage. A fantastic option for Coventry, whether that's from the bench looking for a goal, or looking for fast starts in matches.

They'll be overweight in that area if they still do

 

[BrianTheBlade]

Makes you laugh when you see players like that Harry clarke going for 3/4 million that galbraith going for 10 million to swansea

But the best attacking midfielder in the league isnt worth 10 million , hamer could play till he is 35 at this level

Massive for us to somehow get him to sign a contract would be huge

 

[Jon P]

There is no chance we get anything close to £10m for Hamer. Looking at £3-5m

 

[jt64]

100% this....also, do we have a realistic chance of promotion? The top two slots are pretty much decided in Wolves & West Ham (I'm sure some will disagree but I can't see any one competing with them two)

Wolves aren't even rated as having better than a one in three shot at top two in the market. Yes they are the second favourites but saying pretty much decided is clearly comical. West Ham are only just over 50% to get one of the two spots.

 

[jt64]

Will the SCR rules allow this?

Compared to what he is probably on right now, yes, it would barely be a rounding error on the accounts in terms of increase. How much the food would cost is a different story

 

[Berkshire Blade]

There is no chance we get anything close to £10m for Hamer. Looking at £3-5m

At that price it's impossible to replace with a different type of quality player so I would almost be tempted on the gamble

 

[DronnieBlade]

Inevitable that he goes now I suspect.

Fee will fall somewhere in the £6m to £7m bracket with add ons of a further £2m/ £3m.

The views of sections of our fan base on this player are incredibly naive !!

UTB

 

[Legal Blade]

Ask him if he wants to leave- if not put a new Contract in front of him- is he does tell him to put in a transfer request

I hope he stays but also hope we string SISU City FC out until the window slams shut

What if he says yeah I want to leave when my contract is up thanks...

 

[Pedro's Winger]

Bought him for circa £15m, he's been very successful and Coventry have loads of money to spend.
£10m should be the starting point.

 

[Davalon]

I couldn't care less where he goes if we get what we want for him and it helps us strengthen over all.

The current Hamer will give us a few glimpses of magic but if he stays then we have to accept that we may well be light in other areas and will probably concede plenty of opportunities down our left.

 

[Legal Blade]

Then he goes on a free in the summer and there is nothing we can do about it- but shows his hearts not set on Jimmy Hills lot either and we get his talent for a season

 

[AdamSufc1997]

would anyone swap for simms

 

[Keen Blade]

I said that other day. If he wants PL football again, he has 3 choices/chances:

1. Hull
2. Coventry
3. United

He'd be better off going to Netherlands or Serie A if he wants to play at the top end of a top flight, because he's not going to be a top-10 PL player

Matt , Matt , Matt ,
Number 1 ? Surely it's gotta be 2 ,
a pair
And is that our Lucy ?

 

[Greenwich Blade]

would anyone swap for simms

Joan? Nah, not a straight swap.

UTB

Yep naive, but we also know United and they are well capable of cashing in @ 3 million which just be insane. We are useless at negotiating in or out.

 

[Uganda Blade]

Joan? Nah, not a straight swap.

You're here all week, right?

 

[Greenwich Blade]

You're here all week, right?

Sadly, yes!

 

[JD88]

Think we need 2 more wingers regardless if Hamer leaves or not. I want Hamer in the middle if he stays. If he does leave we have to look at another creative player to compete with O Hare.
If we lost a striker then Simms would be an option pretty high on list I would imagine.
