Hamer (63 Viewers)

[the rumpo kid]

Just what I was told

Sorry, bit of shock to me, just bit straight away before reading everything else. Just don't like nasty surprises.
Saying that I can't see anyone in Holland paying £15m + for him especially fyenoord.

If the club is willing to offer him 1 million a year( 20k a week ) and he's not interested , then what more can they do

Nothing more. He needs to go so we get a fee simple and replace him.

Some contradictory comments in that interview. Robins does say “it’s still all to play for. It’s still up in the air but that situation needs resolving quickly”
The comment that Hamer’s very clear on what he wants maybe a reflection on contract terms not necessarily that he’s off. Could be a big public nudge towards King.

Not even Ajax would hence why they develop their own.

More from Robins...very revealing

But but our local genius who said he's a lower Championship player at best said it was clear no one was interested in him?

 

[Northeast sky blue]

The way I read it, is that there's been interest from elsewhere and he wants to go

Neither can I . So I’m thinking it’s more personal

 

[Telfer85]

Would be a big blow that’s for sure. He links so much of the team together not to mention his work rate without the ball and breaking up play. Could have seen him linking really well with van ewijk and slipping him behind the defence.

Still if he wants to go not much the club can do just hope we have a good replacement in mind.

There has probably been contact to his agent from another club, who have then offered a low bid to the club. Unethical business

Yea didn't quite understand it. Saying it was up in the air and down to Gus.

But sounds like Gus has made his view clear, and if he was going to sign it would be done now you would think.

Does it really matter? Holland is nearer to Coventry than parts of Scotland and nobody would bat an eyelid if he went there

"HE'S OFF TAE RANGERS!"

 

[Sick Boy]

This kills any chance of play offs for me

If we get a decent fee and invest it wisely there’s no reason why he can’t be replaced.

 

[Gint11]

The club now need to give Hamer a deadline. If he doesn’t sign by that deadline then we have to sell or decide to keep him for the last year and go on a free. We cant let this linger on.

 

[theferret]

If he stays then we can make a go of it this season. If he leaves then it’s too late to reinvest that kind of money and re-rebuild the squad in time for this season. But another big cash injection (£10 million?) could be huge for us - enough for three or four difference makers in the squad for sure.

If he goes we have to lower our expectations for this season and show patience. I don't care how giddy we get over this signing or that signing, to lose two of the best players in the division in one summer and it's a massive rebuilding project that could take a couple of seasons to bear fruit.

I would genuinely give him till next Sunday.

Gonna cancel that hotel no point

 

[Badge72]

Yes and it sounds like Robins is in two minds how to play this “We could maybe take the decision out of his hands and say ‘you are here for the 12 months,’ and that may be the case still. But look, we have got to be sensible on these things. It will play out but I don’t really want that to play out in the press with me speaking about it. It’s got to play out naturally, really.

“My stance is really clear, I don’t want him to go anywhere but we have to wait “

Seem to remember something similar happened with Gyok at xmas and was persuaded to stay.

 

[cooperskyblue]

Well that's that then!
Ridiculous, yes he is an incredible player and dragged us into the playoffs with his form at the end of last season. But look at what we have already done recruitment wise.
Luton didn't have Vik or Hamer and got promoted. They just had a very good side across the board with a clear identity. We have that and are building better quality 1-11.

I'd be gutted if he goes and it sounds that he wants to go from Robins quotes, but I have faith that we would spend on a direct replacement as well as other players to make us a more rounded squad.

It's the one potential negative hanging over an otherwise positive summer. He needs to stop fucking about and if he won't we take it out of his hands.

It's completely different to Gyokeres, he was still under contract come the summer. Hamer will leave for nothing.

Depends who you replace him with

He will be near impossible to replace realistically. The best I can think of that we might have a shot at signing is Scott Twine, but for the moment I will cling on to the hope that Hamer will stay for one more season with us.

 

[Finham]

If Doug won’t sell fucking hell he has got some balls , fair play 15 million ?

Sounds like from what Robins said that the bids have been derisory.

They are totally different players.

 

[Flying Fokker]

If his mind is OK and Doug is happy to eat the cost I’d keep him TBH. I don’t think you’ll find close for the money. And the difference he’ll make beyond the Vik cash isn’t huge. But those are big ifs.

I think City need to decide wh

Either sign or fuck off .. end of story

No player bigger than the club , getting annoyed by it all now he's had long enough

I guess he finds it difficult to make his mind up. The problem is, the longer it goes on like this, then the fans begin to lose Respect for him. It’s different to Gyok, he moved on pretty quickly / made certain he was on his way, compared to this fiasco. I still think he could do a lot worse than signing another contract.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Yea just think it kills play offs for the coming season, even if we invest it well think it will take a year or two for the new team and players to grow and develop into a team which can challenge the play offs.

Much like how the 22/23 team was built over three seasons.

 

[Grendel]

£15m or he stays for a season.

No we need the money

 

[Grendel]

It's starting again isn't it though, even if we replace him well whoever we get is gonna take 1-2 season of development and improving before we are ready to be challenging again and be anywhere near Hamers level

Why? Clubs turn players all the time and can adapt quickly

 

[TomRad85]

Maybe a compromise like a 1 year extension with a promise he can leave next year for a reasonable price would be best for both parties at this point.

If he's homesick, hes unlikely to sign. If that was the case we would have to get rid of him straight away

Clubs know he’s unsettled.

No we don’t.

MR spoke about it's more that he loves it here and doesn't want to leave really? But probably will!

 

[djr8369]

This is my worry. He’s clearly going to miss his kid and it’s possible his form could suffer. Obviously he finished the season strongly so hopefully that wouldn’t be the case.

 

[Kingokings204]

Personally, if offered less than 10m I would swallow the cost and keep him as he is that good and key to the team.
If over 10m then I would sell as it’s too good for a player with 10 months left.

 

[TomRad85]

Well let's see if that's true or if he ends up at some shithouses like Burnley
