Very good player, will turn out to be a bargain and will make the club a decent amount of money too eventually

Don't panic, when Hamer goes for £5M in January we'll spend 2 of it on Walsh and bank the rest.

It’s important to stop up so we can get the best value for players like him.

He could be a realistic target next season, assuming Gus is sold.Prefer Walsh

I think most said after a game or 2. If you can't spot talent like this then folks never.
He has got everything imo. That bite and steel to get his toe in reads the game brilliantly, 2 quick good feet, scores goals, creates goals good at set pieces.
Whisper it quietly...hasn't been booked either for quite a few games.
Said a million times over the last month.
Amazing business.

Real shame that a player like this may never play in front of our fans.....
For us obviously but for him too.

God only knows how we convinced him to sign and for 1.3 million. If he was English we’d been playing 5 times that. Reassurance that we know what we are doing.

His vision....is way to behold.
The long passes out of defence vs Watford to Biamou for walkers goal.
And the quick thinking long diagonal pass vs Norwich to Giles. Pin point.
Also his passes to his team mates are struck hard crisp like he's playing with players not his level.
Always decisive passing wether forward or back. This guy is on another planet.
Worth the money to watch him operate.

Going to end up making the club a tidy profit.
There were people on here not long ago that couldn't see it...

He's the best player we've had for as long as I can remember. Like someone else said, gutted that we may never actually get to see him play in person. I reckon he'd thrive off the fans and good atmosphere egging him on (and probably him egging us on!!).
There's a child like aggressive/mischievous streak in him too...it just comes out and you can tell he's been suppressing the urge to just kick someone haha.
Two free kicks he's taken in the last two games should've been a goal (walkers goal didn't look offside today, does anyone know if it actually was?)

It’s inevitable we sell him but need to make sure we stay up so we don’t have to sell on the cheap. Scary how good he could be with better players around him.

We will sell him, of course we will. BUT when we've sold top talent in recent years we have re-invested the money well. Maddison, Wilson, Clarke some of the names who spring to mind when you look at our climb back up the leagues.

Hamer is part of a business model. Our top signing this summer who plays well in the Championship and we sell him for multiples. Then we get x2 players of the same quality next season and then sell etc etc etc. It’s what Brentford so and works very well. Only way we can keep progressing and be self sustainable as a business.

What is your current valuation? I'm cerainly looking at 10 million plus add ons from what I've seen. If he gets double figures in goals this season, probably double it.

We would never hold out for that much. We should... but we won't

The second we are safe this season (bit of an if , but quietly confident), he will get an improved contract. The big question mark against him is temperament and you can see hes improved that.
In Boddys podcast it was interesting that we structured the deal to pay his former club in instalments over the next year. Brilliant business.
For all the jobellos/kasta/Hilsner we can afford another 3 duds if one turns out to be a gem , admittedly he was alot more proven hence the fee we paid.

Agree with everything on this one and have just said something similar on the Hamer vs Walsh thread. His range of passing is exquisite and unmatched in the squad.
Yes, our recruitment team don't always get it right (more often than not they do) but in Hamer, they've unearthed an absolute gem.
I think MR and the team have done wonders with him to start keeping his temper in check and get him accustomed to the pace of English football.
A truly great bit of business and I look forward to seeing more of him whilst we can.

Was just going to raise this question ,so problematic to sell in the English market?
Sure plenty of European team's would take a look.tbf

Interesting that would make it way more sensible to keep hold of him to the peak of his value then. No point flipping him quick as with the new rules kicking in meaning less foreign imports his value could rocket

I've always found it mad that any professional footballer can't just get a work permit tbh.
