This is what Hamer said 2 days after Sheff Utd move, to my daughter directly (quote) I was waiting to sign contract Doug said had been arranged, then he rang me to say they had agreed a fee with Sheff Utd, and i was to travel to see them, so it was Doug that decided . that was the quote from his mouth.
So it was all about the money, fucking DK, no better than Seppala

He has to spend on a quality midfielder in January, maybe two

I’m confident we’ll spend another 6-8

Let's hope we're not struggling so much that Doug has to consider the possibility of relegation and tightening down to cover the risk.
I'd expect 3 or so to be offloaded and 1 CM to come in, and maybe 1 loan.

Sorry this is just rubbish.

Forced at gunpoint to sign, was he?

And why was he waiting?

Risible.

I’d prioritise two. We look really exposed without Sheaf so we need a nuts and bolts midfielder. Then a creative midfielder in the Hamer mould. Be happy to return Ayari to free up some wages
I guess there’s a taxi waiting for Ayari? I hoped he’d perform better. But in a team of misfiring parts it’s never going to work.

Sinclair Armstrong would have been a great addition in the summer. Young enough to develop considerably, a lot of similarities to Vik in terms of playing style, quick AND strong. Goal return not the best at present but I think he could get there

Whose money were we using before the Vik transfer then ? City is a loss making business.


Not his i assure you

The only money that Dougs 'put in' to the club so far is the Ryton renovations. And thats only because its the only tangible asset the club have for when he flogs us on in the next few years

Now we are playing with a back 4 and 3 forwards , maybe we could ask Manchester united if we can loan diallo after he comes back from injury 😉

We need a double hard central midfielder who can pass a ball and take a set piece.
If you can re-incarnate Roy Keane go for it with your 100m. We need time and patience and support, as frustrating as it is.

In striker or strikers, none are working either individually or collectively. Fresh legs might spark a partnership off.

We could do with a 4th choice striker but we’re unlikely to see significant investment there after the money spent. It would be an admission of failure by Robins.

I am not sure it is an admission of failure and even if it is surely it's better to do that than buy another CM, when we already have our two best players in that position. Maybe Simms and Wright will turn out to be great in the long term, but they are clearly not exactly performing brilliantly yet and we need to give them time. So what we need is an experienced striker as well as a creative attacking midfielder.
