Hamer (3 Viewers)

So you would keep him against his will? At least now we know - and you really need to see a wider narrative here

I'm saying they are very different things. He has signed a contract and at the end of that contract he can leave and go wherever he wants. At the end of a modern slaves useful existence if they are unlucky they may get a bullet as they could talk about their experiences. Are they comparable?

Yeah let's have a laugh about modern slavery...

I didn't have you down as a stupid person but it appears I was wrong.

Modern slavery doesn't tend to involve legitimate, binding, closely scrutinised contracts, signed under zero duress. You are funny, though. Keep saying funny things, pls!

To be honest I’m at the point now of what will be will be. If we are desperate for some cash I’m sure he will be flogged before the deadline if the club get the offer they want.

if they don’t and he stays and runs his contract down yes it will frustrating to have lost out on a fee for him but we will get another year out of him. I don’t think he’s the type of player to down tools if he doesn’t get what he wants. It also gives us another year to scout a decent replacement and also potential for him to change his mind.

 

[Matt smith]

He wouldn’t

He wouldn’t what?

Ahh no that does sound a bit like slavery tbf

he’s really stupid to be fair

Apparently Gus doesn't like flying. I heard that's why he didn't go to Portugal. 2 day trip in a taxi might not appeal to him.

Bergkamp was like that, must be a Dutch thing

I thought this was a discussion on morality and preserving someone’s mental well being

You had the option to leave as a teacher when you were unhappy

It’s incredibly cruel to force someone to stay as they can’t escape the chains of their contract

All modern liberal people on here would want kindness for an individual above selfish gains surely?

The big difference being that I as a teacher was hired on a permanent contract whereas a footballer's is fixed term.

No exceptions?

I heard he'd looked into the Eurostar to Amsterdam but didn't like the sandwich offerings in first class. More of a croque monsieur kind of guy.

Comes from a great history on water. Buy him a private fluyt and it might all be fine.

EDIT: nobody mention Dutch history!

You’re not preserving mine, that’s for fucking sure.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I mean if you can find me one example of a footballer hired on a permanent contract then sure

No it's a discussion about Hamer, hence the title of the thread.

Incredible - I give up

Croque Madame >>>> Croque Monsieur

Good, because you finally realise your argument is so flawed that you can't keep digging. Take it as a self improvement opportunity!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Egg in or on a sandwich is always disgusting

You don't believe most of what you say, which is probably the nauseating bit. Like GB News or Fox News cretins; saying things for clicks or a pay cheque. CBA now. Enjoy your argument.

The flying Dutch man. Oh the irony!

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Have I missed something

 

[skyblu3sk]

Have I missed something

Just Grendel being a bell end which at this point is standard.

 

[Calista]

Surely Grendel’s last dozen or so posts have just been sarky extreme statements of the liberal point of view he attributes to everyone else on here? Am I misinterpreting?

Same old same old , I don’t know where he gets the energy from

Honestly you'd think he'd need a spa day from time to time but no steadfast as always!

 

[Samo]

From his bitterness.

 

[Grendel]

No I’m just aghast that say someone could be in a ten year contract and regardless of any personal trauma they have you would demand they do as they are told and serve their contract - no exceptions

 

[Grendel]

Never!

And the irony of so called sympathy for an individual unless it carries a value that could hinder someone else’s enjoyment

How ironic!

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

What would people say is the minimum fee we should accept for Gus?

Depends on his reasons for leaving.

Then if it's for a Dutch team and they can't offer as high a price we need to get a load of incentives added into the contract to make up for any loss in transfer fee.

 

[Tomh111]

he’s really stupid to be fair

Call him out.
