Hamer outlines Coventry City intention after play-off heartbreak

Coventry City midfielder Gus Hamer's goal at Wembley on Saturday was not enough to fire the Sky Blues to the Premier League

www.coventrytelegraph.net

This paragraph in particular is a tease:

"We must start again and work hard to do it all again, hopefully one step further, but it was an amazing achievement to come from three points in our first seven games to the brink of the Premier League.”

Just being professional I think.

What else can he say?

“We’ve got to do it all over again and go one step further but without me because I’m off”

Wishful thinking from me of course

Please allow me to keep some optimism, but perhaps im getting ahead of myself.

 

[Fankaty Hamer]

@Garlana86 Nothing to read into IMO. He's completely right - we've come a long way.

 

[Balli001]

He is under contract nothing to read into. The club won't let him run his contract down tho so it's still likely he leaves

 

[fatso]

He's under contract for another year, so from his point of view he's here until the club tell him otherwise.

Personally I think we should keep him for next season unless there's a silly offer on the table. 5 million isn't anywhere near enough IMHO.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

would love to see him sign another deal with us

But then we lose him for nothing if he doesn't sign a new contract

If he has his heart set on going back to The Netherlands, we may well do anyway.

 

[fernandopartridge]

He might see the best route to that being running down his contract here, tbh if he can support another promotion push next season it's possibly a price worth paying as he'd be exceptionally difficult to replace

 

[fatso]

That's right, but you have to ask, is keeping him and having the best midfielder in the championship for another push for promotion, worth more than what's on the table.

My answer would be keep him. ( Unless it's 20 million.)

 

[Gint11]

Please allow me to keep some optimism, but perhaps im getting ahead of myself.

I hope he stays more than Gykores but i think both go.

 

[quinn1971]

Won’t it depend how bad his injury is, looked a nasty one, big risk to sign him not 100%

 

[napolimp]

Yeah, if we're lucky all our best player will get career changing injuries.

Don’t be a dick, haven’t said that

 

[SBT]

If some kind of EFL genie offers me the chance to keep one player out of Gus and Vik, I’m keeping the former.

No it isn't. We potentially end up in exactly in the same position but he walks away for free instead. If he doesn't sign a new contract we have to sell simple as that really

“We’ve got to do it all over again and go one step further but without me because I’m off”

“IN A BIT LADS”

 

[fatso]

Would you sell him if the only offer was 1million?

If you wouldn't, then you've basically just agreed with what I said. The only difference is the amount you'd accept.

 

[Happy_Martian]

To the OP, Liam Kelly said pretty much the same after the final yet most on here think he won't be offered a new contract. It's just the standard "you're a part of the team until you're not" stuff.

 

[Marty]

Don't think it's worth selling Hamer for some of the figures mentioned, get 25-30 mill for Vik and bring in 4 or 5 good championship players, with Hamer pulling the strings in midfield, we would be serious contenders for another push at it.

 

[Balli001]

I haven't agreed at all. You know full well no one is bidding only a million. You want to keep him no matter what the bid is. I don't agree as that's ludicrous business sense

If anyone bids that much for gyokeres. If he is still here on deadline day we get nowhere near that valuation with his contract situation

 

[CDK]

Would like to think he will sign a new contract with a buy out clause in 12 months to the premier League if we don't do it as a club.

You clearly haven't read my post as I said it would have to be an offer we just couldn't refuse, I even suggested 20 million (purely to indicate to any thick twats just what I meant)

 

[Essexrobbie]

He better not go...ive only just learnt his song

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Has their been any official interest in either Hamer or Vic ?

 

[Hobo]

Got up Sunday and watched whole game again. Hamer was in tears having to go off. Gyokeres too at the end. I know they weren't alone.

But for two players rumoured to have deals lined up - they gave us their all. Staying or not they wanted to get us promoted.

The whole squad gave everything the whole season. Be proud of this group forever.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Well said

Yep Kelly too
And doyle and McNally

 

[Hobo]

Everyone was gutted but Hamer and Gyokeres are rumoured to be going on to better things.

Another thing for me was the first person to really go and console Dabo was Norton -Cuffy. What a young prospect he is? Wasn't impressed with his first couple of games but has just got better and better.

He seemed totally unfazed by that atmosphere at Wembley. We weren't showing much at all first half except from Hamer and Norton-Cuffy. The lad ran his socks off for us, then has the maturity to get back on pitch to embrace and console Dabo.

If we can, sign him a great prospect.

 

[Offhegoes]

It’s actually a smart move for both Vik & Gus to sign the new deals being offered. Both will have clauses in the player’s favour, and they will be star players ( in the Championship) next season., with much improved wages.
If they both went to the Premier League, it’s going to be to the likes of Brentford, Fulham, Everton, Bournemouth and west Ham. They become squad players and are joining clubs that could well be in relegation scraps. (Brentford’s bubble will burst).
If we did keep both next season….Automatics would surely be the expectation.

Agree with that. He needs work, and games but there’s a player there. He’s not getting games at Arsenal next season. Another loan or would Arsenal be tempted by £1.5 million offer?
