Which is a reason not to offer him a contract
Not even if we offer silly money?
If that's the case then, we have 2 choices, let him run down his contract and leave on a free, or accept a bid of around £5 million tops and try to force him out.

Course not. We arent going to offer silly money remotely near what he could get elsewhere.

Christ are you still peddling this one. I explained several times why this may not have happened but you ignored me each time

Robins as good as said that he wants to leave yesterday

Ahh yes, it's all down to the big bad agent who's taken away his free will.
So we have no choice but to let him run down his contract then?
He holds all the cards, we can accept any bid we like, but he can just refuse. Do we drop him in that scenario?

What, like, say, the end of July? Giving us a month to sell him and get in a replacement?
Though I doubt it'd have been said in the confrontational way you put as, as that'd be pretty much guaranteeing him saying no.
Or a Dutch club can’t afford to buy him now but in 12 months can give him a good enough package to go back there.

Apparently this is not a financial decision, his wife and son are staying in Holland. The guy just wants to be close to his son.

There's also an awful lot of people who know exactly why he wants to leave and there are at least 3 different reasons why.There's an awful lot of thinking on this thread.
It's disappointing if he wants to leave but we will get over it. Last season we had plenty who thought we should get rid after his 2nd red card, now he's worth £15m, is irreplaceable and we should retire the number 38
I agree. If Hamer god forbid had an ACL tomorrow we would have to move on next season and work the problem or replace him just like o’hare last season.There's also an awful lot of people who know exactly why he wants to leave and there are at least 3 different reasons why.

We could bring it two/three absolute gems if he was sold tomorrow and move on. I personally see him being with us next season and going on a free back to Holland. If so, interesting how Robins plays this out.
So he spends 12 months going back and forth. Possibly detrimental to his form. So the club end up missing out from every angle including fee’s/replacement. Hence the club trying to force the matter now.

Feyenoord are a decent sized club that is not unfamiliar with reasonably big numbers. They sold kokcu (a midfielder) for £25m earlier this month. Unfortunately they have now spent ~£14m of that on two more midfielders.
Of all the theories, I can very much see this being the case. Has always sounded like he wants to go back, there may also be personal reasons, and there's a good chance Dutch clubs (club) can't match Coventrys valuation (or don't want to).

Burnley are close to signing Lokonga. Looks like he won’t be heading there.
Robin’s comment re waiting to see how recruitment pans out and seeing what’s with Hamer then supports this theory/guess. I.e keep him if no suitable replacement found.

This maybe a situation that's ever changing, if it's true his wife has just left him and took the kids back to Holland, he's probably hurting like fuck and desperate to be back with them, but in 6 months time we might be romping to first, he may have found someone else and wants to stay here with them. Let's not do anything hasty.

If there is no proper resolution to this by the transfer deadline of Sep 1 (i.e. Hamer not signing on for another year or being sold for a reasonable fee), I guess we have no choice but to play him this season and let him run his contract down and leave on a free like BBD. It sucks I know, but what other alternatives are there. Hopefully, he continues to give his all this season and stays committed to our goal of trying to achieve promotion. In the meantime, we’ve got to hope that MR and his team have already started looking for capable replacements as Hamer leaving was always a possibility for the last few transfer windows.

Because when he goes for nothing next summer you’d need to replace him and strengthen the squad elsewhere with no extra cash.
