Slave to the NHS.
This isn't the official Roygbiv type thread where he goes out and gathers some written opinion from other forums and stuff, I will leave that to him as they are always a smashing read.
I did however live in Leicester for a couple of years and have a few mates who are Leicester City fans and we exchanged a couple of messages last night on Facebook regarding Hammond.
I will roughly quote the following comments.
- "Hammond is our poor man's Stevie G"
- "He's a very decent player and could easily be playing at a top end Championship club".
- "The only reason he isn't playing regularly in the Premier League is that he lacks pace".
- "He is the type of player who controls a game. He gets his foot on the ball and breaks stuff up"
- "His range of passing is good as well, he puts the ball around very well".
From what they say we have signed an absolute belter of a player, one who could and should be playing in the Championship. They argued that he could still do a job in the premier league in certain games but he just lacks the tempo and they have now signed other players which knocks him slightly down the pecking order.
I asked if he was more of a defensive type midfielder as that is how I viewed him.......They repled that he is an old fashioned, honest, no nonsense sort of player. He will quite happily work away doing all of the nitty gritty stuff and help with the defensive stuff he is very much a complete central midfielder and also looks to push his team further up the pitch.
