CONFIRMED Hamer joins Coventry

[Booker4]

If he goes I hope we sign Cleary from barnsley. 7 goals and 13 assists for them last season. We can't just sign loan players each season.

 

[skegblade]

We dont

It does say if all is....

 

[skegblade]

I remember when i had mi first w@nk

Wish I could temember my last

 

[FTPE]

Thanks for Gus Back, done you over a barrel aswell with the fee.
Enjoy Bolton away.

Mate, Im going to watch MOTD every week again now to see you get pumped
Down by Xmas

 

[MartBlade]

Nothing wrong with that interview, as honest as the day is long. I am mates with others who have season tickets elsewhere (Forest, Peterborough, Notts County, and a load in non-league) and all of these clubs (plus others I hear on phone-ins) are in the same position: waiting for movement further up the food chain before players to purchase and then loans become available. You can do your business early if you are awash with cash; we're not and will just have to wait our turn, frustrating as it is.

Absolutely spot on …. Thank God we have a manager who does front up to the fans cos we hear absolutely jack from the owners.

I'd like an out an out winger. Would give us balance. Cleary a good shout.

Depends on how much Dosh we get for Hamer and can spend. Souttar might be earmarked for that but who knows.

Dan James was rumoured on loan way back. Could see that but be late in window I bet. And reckon other clubs will be in for him.

 

[Bladesman101]

I think a lot of managers are getting fed up with player power to be honest, contracts have become a circus whereby having 2 years left on a contract has become precarious. He’s trying to get a squad ready and is still in the dark on whether or not he’ll have a centre half other than Tanganga or if his best player will still be around.

 

[loveWalrusDaveTheBlade]

I can’t tell you something that hasn’t happened.

I can tell you who has left with one year or less left on their deal, for a far lower price. None of which we ever really replaced.

Ndiaye
Berge
Anel
Bogle
And now, Hamer.

We also let one of our most expensive signings ever, Oli McBurnie, walk away for zero.

Hanging on to Ndaiye and Berge ( neither of whom would sign a new contract) until their contracts ran down earned us more money ( through promotion) than their earlier sale ever would have done

 

[Hamer's Right Peg]

Can certainly understand Wilders comments on Seriki after that piss poor offer.

If Seriki is kicking up a fuss behind the scenes over a loan move then he needs to grow up and understand we have 2 years left on him and we aren't going to be backed into a corner.

Its not even a defend Wilder attitude. The club can't be seen to be bullied by agents and players behind the scenes.

We won't sign another player for a fee this window.

For us to be competitive again we need to get rid of so much dross. But with the wages they are on, it's going to be a hard job.

What’s happened with Seriki?

We've made a bid. What if the other club accepts?

I think agents are just outright telling players to run their contracts down now regardless. They know either the current club will comeback with a daft new contract offer or be forced to sell.

Theres no danger of some of our bids getting accepted.

Agents are like estate agents and only make real money when a player makes a move

 

[Bladesman]

Exactly, I don't think the money they get from a player renewing is enough for them. They want to keep a player moving, just look at Ndiaye's agent for example.

 

[Hamer's Right Peg]

What’s happened with Seriki?

Wilder insinuated that he just needs to get his head down and focus on his football which is a fair comment.

 

[Sean Thornton]

As I said earlier, looking like an oft seen shambles at BL. Things may be ongoing of course and time will tell but it’s hard not to wonder if there is a dressing room split, Wilder has indeed been thrown under the bus or the whole ownership/management team are in this shitshow together and are working from the same script.

 

[EddieColquhoun]

 

[relish]

I really enjoyed watching Gus. Even when the team as a whole wasn’t great (a regular occurrence in the last few seasons), he would do something that on its own was worth the price of admission.
I understand why we need to sell him and why he wants to go. But I’ll miss him.

 

[Sportbilly /Detroit Blade]

Quality on his day, but for some reason he always reminds me of Ram Man!

 

[Hilly]

Are we the only club who hang on to a player, let them be part of the team all preseason, sell them (most of the time cheaply) right before the season starts. I honestly don’t get it - if it’s just to get a couple of million more surely that doesn’t outweigh having a season of mediocrity.

No.

 

[Half Bond Jls]

He's reyt picked up the Sheffield accent hasn't he?

 

[232 Bramall Lane]

"I’m not sure what being unfit has got to do with being aggressive…but the reason he gets booked isn’t because he’s aggressive, it’s because he’s unfit and undisciplined. He gives away lazy, cynical fouls because he’s not fit enough to track back after he’s lost the ball."

Spot on. He is superb on the ball, always likely to create that magic moment either with a shot or pass.
Unfortunately without the ball he can be a liability and opposition midfielders run past him far too easily.
Having said that, I'll miss him as he's the only player we have that excites me when he's got the ball.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

He's reyt picked up the Sheffield accent hasn't he?

To be fair, he seems to have lost weight though.

 

[unitedbhoy]

The way he’s let his fitness deteriorate since joining us has been a disgrace. I wish we’d seen him in peak condition. Always baffled me, a player with that talent should be as fit as possible and he could play much higher! It’s the reason no one else ever signed him from us.

Still, we saw some magic with the ball at his feet. Couldn’t lace Ndiaye’s boots though

Is that cos he couldn't bend down due to his big belly?

 

[Nick Jansky]

So Carl Scheiber then!

That’s basically what he does, what you outlined there.

What he outlined is nothing like Carl Schieber’s role. Miles off it.

Looking at the photos from the training camp they seemed pretty chummy.

 

[Ecco1889]

I’ve not renewed yet. 34 years since I last didn’t have a ST. Watching that I don’t think I’ll bother. Useless bastard of a club.

Don’t blame you pal,can’t imagine anything but a tough watch this season
