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.

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
 



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.

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 🤣
 
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.
 
The only benefit I see for Coventry is they have a good player for the Championship when/if they come down. Very SUFC signing Luke Freeman of them (And him turn out crap and overweight even in the Championship)

I thought he was on loan to Hull last season and was still a Leeds United player?

Not sure Hull will want him back in the Premier League, but I think he’d be a great acquisition for us if he was available.

If all goes to plan, you will see him play at Bramall Lane in the opening day fixture
 



Let him go, for whatever we can get for him. He's in last year of his contract. He's probably not going to put a shift for fear of getting injured. Many of his performance last year where mediocre. Struggling after 60 mins.
Not sure he would hacket in the Premiership.
Time for both parties to move on.

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) so realistically we're gambling on keeping Hamer for the chance of one of the remaining spots. With our history of Play-Offs I'm not going into this season the most optimistic Blade in town.

Surely new(ish) owners didn't pay 110 million for the club, only to have zero ambition of Prem after only 1 and half seasons. Thought they were money men with good contacts looking for extra £ inputs? 5m for Gus for 1 more season is peanuts in football terms? Coventry have just received 180 million and so far spent nowt - surely you'd hold out for minimum 10-12 million regardless of 1 more year.

City in similar situation have turned down 45 million for an injured Rodri who is on 10x what Gus is on. Need someone in the club who is much bolder on negotiation.

Same with Peck - the price is 15 million or FO.

Say we dont accept a bid from Coventry (or any other team), I cant see Hamer giving his all. He will pull out of tackles that he would normally commit to just in case he suffers a major injury that will deter clubs signing him.

You can’t question Hamer’s commitment- if he remains a Blades player he will give 100% without question.

Gus pulling out of tackles is probably a good thing. As soon as window shuts I think Gus just gets on with it - he's already proved he is no 'mardy arse'. Main thing is if its 5 million keep for a year (to replace him is 20 Million) - Coventry offer 12-15 million off he pops with everyone clapping him away.

I beg to differ when it comes to getting a long term contract in his homeland at the end of the year with a very juicy signing on bonus.
 



I'd imagine with most clubs its a game of brinkmanship . Assessing the financial situation of the buyer , the seller doing the same , whos need is greater , how far can you push it , whats the value to them and us etc.

Its a game within the game, trying not to blink 1st , agents fielding stories of other interested parties .

Every club ultimately wants the players they need for the best price they can negotiate whilst the clock ticks .

Outside those super clubs throwing 100's of millions about , its the same for everyone.

Lets see where we are when the music stops in a few weeks time.
