Hamer is highly rated in Holland and statically one of the most creative youth players in Europe. Stats don’t lie...

Is that the fat controller from Thomas The Tank and Friends?If he is then, hats off to the scouts.

Both Cairo and Kastaneer had patchy records of having played, completely different.

Scouting is rather close to Baden-Powell, which is a touchy subject these days

No good if he is static - we already saw what Yakubu was like at that

Holland on the whole does seem to be a very hit and miss league to sign from, esp strikers. Prolific marksmen look like they couldn't hit a barn door here (of course there are exceptions like RVN etc)
Last player of this type we signed from Holland was probably Boateng, so if he can follow that we'll be doing well.

Gunnarsson came from the same league as Georgie about 10 years later.

Not sure but that tweet that went around yesterday showing u/23 creators across Europe would imply he is a dead ball specialist.

Im not sure the other players would appreciate him flicking their balls.

Yes, some of those tackles on the video worried me. Hope he isn't another Kastaneer when it comes to dubious challenges.

Looks a natural holding midfielder to me who can bomb on who can also fill in at right back,
£1.5m is a lot he must have a lot about himself and of course he’s Brazilian

Aron has had a good career, but with us I think he suffered from the Stephen Hughes Syndrome of having a great first season before becoming mired in the standard "it's Cov, innit?" apathy of the time (Clinton Morrison TM). Me and my mate used to pull our hair out over his long throws going nowhere, too. Then you'd see him for Cardiff or Iceland and it would suddenly be impossible to deal with them!
It's a good comparison, though: young defensive midfielder at a smaller Dutch League side, likes to get stuck in whilst still being good technically. He looks very aggressive in the tackle yet likes to spray the ball around like a John Fleck.

Looks a very good player, hope we sign him and he does well. The stats look impressive, if his team mates could finish his assist tally would be double as he was creating some great chances and they fluffed pretty much all of them.
Regarding Kastaneer I remember the Breda Fans saying he was lazy and ultimately that rang true unfortunately.

In regards to kastanner I’ll admit I was very happy watching his clips we need to be cautions with them you tube clips altho this time his previous team all say he’s good & money is the reason he was let go I’m confident also with such a fee to have been paid

Hamer is a star player at his club and fans are disappointed to see him go. Also he plays regularly in the top flight. Kasteener most of us got wrong.

Spot on, some of that finishing was horrific.
Holland produce good technical players
The thing with Kasteneer is we haven’t really seen him play that much from what little I’ve seen he’s certainly not useless but there’s obvious fitness issues and not that obvious what his best position is, I’d still give him a fresh start and you never know, he’s on contract so nothing to lose.

If the club get this signing confirmed it’s a significant start to recruitment & hopefully we get all our business early, so it gives the coaching team maximum time to prepare for the new season

Might be bit of an attitude problem he has. Maybe homesick and needs time to adjust. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him go on loan.

Kasta could be a terrific player
He's scored some incredible goals and has power other players can only dream of
He came here after his previous clubs had given up on him and as usual with such players he thought a change of club would bring out the best in him
Unfortunately his problem is entirely one of a bad attitude
He thinks he's better than this level
An attitude not shared by any of his teammates
When he was hauled off after 50 odd minutes in our thrashing at Rotherham not a single team mate acknowledged him
He had played entirely for himself and hadn't made any effort to help the team when we didn't have the ball
He was finished at the club that day
