What I don't understand is why people are so aghast at me saying pay it if it fits our wage structure!
It doesn't become exceptional though. And if it remains exceptional it's probably too much of a risk. Was O'Hare worth £20k PW last season? Possibly! This season...?I think if we can’t stretch to £20k in exceptional circumstances for experienced squad members who have proven themselves on their third contract, the wage structure needs working on. £20k highest earner is fine when it’s a player like Gus.
I’ve got faith that Robins won’t spend money we don’t have. But from a pure financial POV it’s a no brainer.

If it's the exception you strengthen the team and club overall, spread your risk.
The point being if you depend on one player you gamble too much. What's sully is to do that rather than spreading the risk. I also remember:I just think he’s worth it and it’s not excessive for our position. TBH while O’Hare is great I’ve never felt he has the impact on the side that Hamer does.
If Vik wanted to stay for £20k is probably say do it as well.
Bringing up freak injuries is silly, by that logic never sign anyone.
You were quite happy to agree we should replace him with two lower calibre midfielders earlier in the season! Also agreed that giving him his bumper contract last time out was a huge mistake!If we cant go to 20k a week to pay our best talent in 20 plus years then we may aswell fucking give up now.
As GIMOC has said, we have made the best oart of 5 million from this play off run, money that wouldnt have been expected as income.
Using 1 million or so of that to put towards an improved contract for Gus is an absolute no brainer.
And if we dont, then in all honesty then we deserve fuck all and the inevitable season of mediocrity.
Viks going, we know that, and we can replace his goals with hopefully 2 or 3 strikers than can bang in 12 or so each. You cannot replace what Hamer does for us. Hes fucking everywhere, drags games by the scruff of the neck, tacklesN scores, creates, encourages teammates hes absolutely unbelievable. 20k a week is a fucking steal for who is a premier league player and the man you need to build a team around for the next 3 years

Your opinion changes with the wind! You'll be saying he's shit next week!I know yea, i should never change my opinion should I

Lmfao I completely agree, I'm way too old to be putting players names on my shirt.Hamer is worth every penny of that 20k a week (If it's true). One of the best midfielders in the championship and probably the best player we've had since relegation, if he signs up to a new deal, Ive already decided I'm getting Hamer 38 on the back of my shirt (I know it's kinda pathetic for a grown adult to get players names and numbers on your shirt, but fuck it). GUSTAAAAAAAAAAAAVO.
If the story he's willing to stay on £20k pw, I'd pay him it. Hopefully a three year deal.
Does this mean Gus is already going looks that way FFS

not really, it seems they have split up and she is off back homeSounds bad
I just watched the highlights for the first time and i will never watch that again its honestly gut wrenching. So so fucking close at the end. To be fair, we probably should‘ve been 3-0 down at half time though. I dont think i realised on the day how many near misses they had.Torturing myself watching it back...
Sky comms saying Hamer was abandoned as a baby in Brazil... (knew he was born there obviously but didn't know that)adopted by a Dutch family and his adopted father died last year (knew that) ..... makes me love the guy even more knowing what he has been through and how he gives his all for us and seems to enjoy it so much......
No one knows they have definitely split up do they for god sake
Of course there is that risk that agents will then be trying to get more wages for others.It was of course paying fat wages that messed us up in the first place. Not as simple as just pay it as others want a ruse then too, and new players ask for more.
It's pay it if it's possible to pay it within our wage structure.
He looks just like his Dad!
They have. Live in Kenilworth and a lot of people around there know what's going on. I won't say anything else but there's been problems for a while with them.No one knows they have definitely split up do they for god sake

But Hamer is one of the best CM's in this division and to bring in someone who could do something even vaguely similar you're looking at £15k+ on a new signing anyway. So why not pay that bit more for someone who apparently wants to stay and we know works in the way we play? £20k in the modern era is probably a 'fair' wage for someone of his talent at this level.
Admittedly 20k is about as high as I would go. If he was saying £25k then I'd be saying that's probably too much. I definitely don't agree with those that are saying 'pay him whatever it takes', though I suspect much of that is hyperbole.
Isn't Palmer rumoured to be on around that after we took on his contract? Waghorn was supposedly on about £14k.
Not sure what's going on and it's no ones business really.not really, it seems they have split up and she is off back home
We need to accept Hamer's off. We just need to get maximum value out of his transfer fee.Huge statement of intent. If we can keep Build around Hamer and Sheaf.
If Ohare and Palmer can realise their potential. Then wow that's some midfield to build your team around. Still feel Ohare and Palmer will need to step up their end product.
Then that's a fantastic base.

It would. £20k is not Premier League money though, it's good Championship money.It would be deranged to offer him Premier League wages to keep him
As it stands both him and gyokeres are under contract for next season. Not sure he can write anything different tbhGus new post and the replies are more positive
