The lack of movement since Hamer is a bit of a joke tbf. Keep saying they are trying but not hard enough it seems.
Getting a few excuses in on medicals for European players anyway. The simple answer is Hamer arsed us around, left too late, we didn’t have a plan and clubs took the piss with valuations.
Sounds like he plans to see his contract out

Coventry City boss says there's interest in goalkeeper Simon Moore
Coventry City transfer news from CoventryLive as Sky Blues boss Mark Robins discusses the future of third choice goalkeeper Simon Moore
Yeah we should have had a long list of Hamer replacements really

Or just not invested quite as much time in each individual target. Would be interesting to know who from the continent we were bidding for.
Succession plan for a player as vital to the team as Hamer should have been ready to go the moment he left.
Come off it. Whatever happens today it won't be for lack of effort
Way back in January Gyo agreed with the club he was off in the summer barring promotion. Plenty of time to then identify targets on that basis and we acted pretty quickly thereafter. As for Hamer, even though he behaved in pretty much the opposite way we should have had a strong inkling that the same was likely to happen.
Santiago Hezze who signed for Olympiakos the other week and had Anderlecht in for him earlier in the summer for under £3m is just one example of the type of player you could get by acting semi quickly.
I believe with the amount of incomings we have had so far, we can't really accuse anyone with doing things badly, as has been said before, the nearer you get to the deadline the more hardball teams will play, also many players may not want to move at this late time, we have to trust in MR and his team PUSB
Just like you can have a plan, work hard at it and things still don't work out.
Bigger and more resourced clubs than ours have failed to land their transfer targets before now.
I'm trying to hold off until after the deadline to give final thoughts but i think we've a right to be annoyed if they don't do anything. We are still 6 short of what Robins promised, since then, we have also lost Hamer. We did however receive 15 million for Hamer and the idea there's nothing we can do to fill the gap because bless them they've tried their best is embarrassing. Tbh i'd say we need a minimum of 3 more, which most agreed a while back, but expectations are getting lower and lower as the days and hours go by.
Imagine telling someone when we sold Hyam that a year later we'd be spending £20m and people would be moaning about it.
I do wonder if we'd have won all our games until now with simms and haji on 3 goals each, whether Robins would be saying we still need bodies. Not saying its an admission that he's not got what he wants but, its surely just about a hamer replacement
Tbh most people agreed we would ideally want another CM even before Hamer left.
He didn't 'Promise' though did he
I couldn't see him dropping Eccles mind so it'd have been a bench warmer with Hamer still here
Just because we spent £20m early on in the window shouldn’t detract from the fact we sold one of our best two players, haven’t replaced him and have spent no money on the midfield.
We needed someone in the Hamer mould for when Hamer wasn't playing, was subbed etc, as we're now seeing. Now just 1 player like that will do.
Would've been hard to find a hamer replacement who would've been happy being benched when he was fit though.
Sorry i've been very positive all summer but the utter bollocks about not being able to book medicals has really annoyed me, what an absolute load of horse shit. So you've ballsed up replacing Hamer and now need to do a quick sweep of the domestic market, just say it.
Perhaps a deal/target fell through in the week who knows. Doubt they'd be that short sighted
Well it's a fact, massive difference between promises and saying you want something.
Just as much as a difference as there to wanting something and getting something I'd say.
