Outgoing? Hamer

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

I’ve been told he has just bought a house at Marsh Lane which seems odd if he’s going but also might be a load of shite
As ever UTB!

He has

 

[Keen Blade]

I love him dearly.

Yeh , but yer know , it's gone a bit stale an't it ?

 

[Keen Blade]

We're 5th favourites for promotion with the bookies and many neutrals expect us to go on a run during the second half of the season. Why would you sell your best play amidst all of that??

Coz we play better without him and his value - if he's not a fixture in the team - is heading south towards zero at the end of his contract

 

[FINUK]

The money he’s on I don’t think it matters - can rent it out or flog it in no time

 

[Rodley]

Would much prefer COH on the left than him. With that in mind it’s probably worth giving him the old GLTTL.

If we’ve any hope of making the playoffs, we need him. Even if he’s not going to start every match, he’ll be a dam good player to bring off the bench.

If it’s a choice between bringing on Brooks, Chong or Hamer from the bench, it’s pretty obvious which player is the best option.

Because that's the blades way, we always get rid of our better players.

I reckon he wants to wait till the summer then decide whether to sign a new deal or try to move.

And I also think all it will take is him getting into a bit of form for people to realise how good he is. But I can't deffo say he will do that.

But I think what Wilder alludes to. Is that the board may want him to either sign a new deal or we sell him this month.
I'd rather we didn't sell but I ain't in these convos so just gonna have to see what happens.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

I just get the feeling it's the right time to sell Hamer.

I hope we get more than £6m, but even at that fee and his wages off the books it could be reinvested really well.

Sometimes you just know when something is over and both parties will benefit ....

To caveat my statement... a £6m offer will probably resurface in the Summer.

On that basis, I'd only take it if Wilder has somebody lined up that he knows can have more of an impact longer term AND / OR if he knows Hamer's heart isn't in it anymore (which is the feeling I get).

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

If he does stay, he'll hit form at some point, playing for his next move - so that's one positive that might serve us well

 

[Nick Jansky]

I hope we get more than £6m, but even at that fee and his wages off the books it could be reinvested really well.

Or it could be used to help plug the gap once the parachute payments run out.

Renting, what was once the butchers arms pub

Yes, that is probably more the reality at this stage.

 

[UddersBlade]

Yes, that is probably more the reality at this stage.

100% - that is exactly where we will be in the summer if we don’t go up ( now very unlikely). We are pretty much now back in the summer of 2018 - top end to mid table Championship team with no parachute money. Expect Hamer & at least 1 other to be sold for decent money which will not be reinvested - but used to offset losses .

 

[Carlton Blade]

He was so, so bad yesterday. No positional discipline at all. Looked disinterested and unfit.

I love him as a player, as talented as anyone we've had other than Ndiaye I think. But at one point yesterday he had the chance to start an attack and because he was tired from a bit of a sprint. He just passed it to Ben Mee.

I'd, with a heavy heart, accept an offer that meets what we need (for whatever purpose the money is set aside for) now.

 

[bertieblade]

Interesting that wilder will slag off Brooks for being out of position but never mentions Hamer.

 

[HeySethUTB]

That’s because being out of position when you’re on the bench is difficult.
