Hamer bids (11 Viewers)

[procdoc]

Why can’t we just actually give our players some credit instead of trying to find stats to show they are worse than other teams players? It’s weird

Mifsud,I remember right had 1 good year then head got turned and in blink he was gone.

Aided by that idiot Coleman playing him wide

Coleman really was a terrible manager

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Fulham no longer interested according to Skybluebeliever recent post, also may not be much other interest in him

Never understood that move or manager.

Another great move by Ray, we should have tried to get Warnock.

 

[SkyblueDad]

And he wanted the job, I heard him in interview saying how disappointed he was to miss out. Character we loved to hate but could certainly produce winning teams.

 

[Frostie]

Coleman & Ranson really should attract a greater level of criticism than they currently do imo.
I've said before, I wonder how much of their tenure has played into the way Sisu are now in terms of perceived "lack of investment".
On paper they were investing in a reasonably good model (on the playing side not off the field) with the signings of undervalued talents like Westwood, Fox, Dann, Gunnarsson etc. but they trusted the wrong people to deliver it.

Exactly this, the team that was built was actually a very good side for the level and should have delivered more, had it not been under the instruction of an extremely poor manager.

Even Pearson would have been preferable, which says everything.

If that were the case, surely MR must have done enough by now to at least trust him a bit more than they seem to. Yes, some of our signings haven't worked out, but others have and overall results have steadily improved. Surely they must now that kind of performance on the budgets they provide can't be sustained.

As Hamer has previously been linked with Brentford;

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Eriksen is a number 10, no?

 

[shepardo01]

Eriksen is a number 10, no?

Attacking mid, central mid... not really paid much attention to where Brentford played him (or any of their transfer business to be honest!).... it does free up some wages too.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Yeah, completely different player and level to Hamer

 

[larry_david]

Larry's prediction - if Hamer goes, it won't be to the Prem.

 

[JonesBob]

Nobody can compare Hamer to Eriksen, unless you have sky blue tinted glasses.

More a case of "one out for Brentford", freeing up a bit more cash.

For what it's worth...Fulham have £10M bid accepted for Man utd midfielder Andrea Pereira.
According to SSNews.

Perhaps they have been knocked back by City and moved on quickly to AP?

I’m pretty sure I read the other day that they had a bid accepted but Pereira wasn’t keen on the move, and would prefer to stay at the Brazilian club he was on loan at last season.

Fulham have since signed another midfielder.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Romaine Sawyers could be a shout if a replacement is required, very good box to box midfielder with an eye for a pass, think he’s possibly surplus at the baggies.

We should’ve gone for him!

 

[Frostie]

We should’ve gone for him!

Good player but not the best fit for us imo.

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

Every team needs a lad like Gus Hamer.
It’ll be amazing if he stays for a bit longer, but I imagine there could be a minor scale bidding war going on behind the scenes.

Coleman was an awful manager. Blessed with the best budget we've had since relegation, he created a turgid team, that rarely was above lower mid table. He bought some crap as well. Mcindoe, Stephen Wright, Freddy Eastwood, Leon Best. All probably on massive wages. Dann & Fox were signed before he'd even arrived I believe.

So was Leon Best

Leon Best was a very good player, unfairly treated.

Cov fans hate strikers who don’t run around a lot.

He was awesome in our great wins in that 07/08 season particularly at Old Trafford where he bullied Pique, shame his career went the way he did though looking at his instagram he's made plenty of money anway

That was the gist of the majority of criticism wasn't it, that he was "lazy" despite literally collapsing of exhaustion after one of our matches...

See Walker getting the exact same criticism 12 years later as an example that opinion hasn’t shifted.

 

[edgy]

Same applied to Stern John

 

[Offhegoes]

Same applied to Stern John

John got 29 goals in 88 games. Best got 19 in 92 games.

 

[Blind-Faith]

The one thing that annoyed me with Leon Best was the amount of times he got caught offside. It was absolutely criminal. But he was a decent player, we’ve had so so so much worse upfront for us.

I thought we all loved Yakubu
