25/26 January Transfer Window (120 Viewers)

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Im in the minority here but I wouldnt have Hamer back

I remember you saying about how he left tbf.

Personally blinded by nostalgia and the need for a box to box 8

[long way home]

They still owe us from the fee and the % on the total they sell him for. Hopefully it happens and we can get one or two in.

 

[RossB7]

Hamer is exactly the type of midfielder we need, if £6m is true then it would be a no brainer in my opinion

 

[blunted]

Have you got the link to this?

In an interview with the Evening Telegraph.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

If he’s up for grabs for 6m - we got to at least make a phone call.

(Mad we’re looking at 6m as something we could spend these days)

 

[blunted]

Hamer is exactly the type of midfielder we need, if £6m is true then it would be a no brainer in my opinion

£6 million? No chance. They want the playoffs and are not a charity..

 

[Ccfcisparks]

We will already have accounted for that money, it wouldn't make a difference

I mean we may have accrued for it but having the actual cash is totally different

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Im in the minority here but I wouldnt have Hamer back

mental I doubt we’d find as quality a player ready made as Hamer for that money

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Anyone heard anything - any thoughts on the Tammy Abraham rumour?

no chance

 

[Calista]

He said he didn’t expect to bring in another forward saying he was really happy with what he got. It was a classic non answer to a question

I do recall him saying this, probably in the press conference last week. How on earth is it a "non answer" though? It's very clear.

 

[Chris1987]

A fit Hamer I would take in a heartbeat.
A fat unfit Hamer I wouldn't.
I would also trust the club to stop his kebab & alcohol consumption .
It's got to be worth a small gamble because in the general scheme of things that's what it would be
Where he is , Wilder is hardly a shining example being a total piss head himself

 

[Saddlebrains]

Why ? Id be tempted

I know a Sheff Utd fan quite well and he said the drop off is incredible

Fat, his stats for every metric are below his last few seasons, half arsed in the tackle, basically on his way down and Sheff Utd fans are actually pretty unimpressed nowadays

For me, due to the way he carries himself off the field with his eating habits and find love of alcohol, he has already peaked, and will never get to the previous heights and will be retired by 35

 

[Saddlebrains]

This aswell. He by all accounts should be hauled over the coals the same way O'Hare was. Granted however he brought us in some dollar

Someone shared his spider graph for this season and it’s better than torps

 

[Captain Dart]

He's Brazilian
He only cost six million
But, in effect, given we signed him initially for 1 million pounds then sold on him to Sheffield United for 15 million - it's a net profit of 8 million
Gustavoooo

By that logic it's a net profit of £14m as it stands.

 

[sc1940]

We were in for Troy Parrot but sporting offered him more crackers, #DougOut!

Yes but we could only pay for him on higher perches

 

[David O'Day]

Lads, just saw the owner of Istanbul's buying first class flights to LA, it's on!

 

[viridisman]

Yes but we could only pay for him on higher perches

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Of course he is going to look fat and slow playing as a LM.

Get him back in that 8, with Grimes cleaning up behind him and he will propel us to the title.

Just get the bugger fit .

 

[Trueskyblue20]

Brilliant player and he still looks a mile above most midfielders at this level.

However I can’t see Doug as the type of person to go back for a player and I wouldn’t imagine Frank wanting to sign him either, he doesn’t seem like a Frank type signing.

Seville would be a good move

 

[mmttww]

If folks suggested paying £6m for any other fat bloke who's ceiling has been reached and can't command a spot in his strongest position for a team in the bottom half of the league, they'd get laughed at.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Well he’s back

 

[Chris1987]

If folks suggested paying £6m for any other fat bloke who's ceiling has been reached and can't command a spot in his strongest position for a team in the bottom half of the league, they'd get laughed at.

Or conversely plays under a piss head of a manager who frequently plays him OOP

I think most people calling him fat are projecting.

I'd imagine every team in this league would have him.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Well he’s back

Make it happen Doug.

 

[sc1940]

This interview he gave with African press just after it fell through is just bizarre and the opposite of what the Greek journalist reported.

Manneh's transfer drama: fake failed medical and pressure from Olympiacos

Gambian midfielder Abdoulie Manneh has firmly denied reports claiming his highly anticipated move from Swedish side Mjällby AIF to Greek giants Olympiacos FC collapsed due to a failed medical.

footy-africa.com

Manneh must be a common name over there, it says the article was written by someone called Foday Manneh

 

[David O'Day]

Or conversely plays under a piss head of a manager who frequently plays him OOP

To be fair Heckingbottom played him as part of a front three a lot.

I guess they don't trust his work as a CM?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Manneh people have that surname it's true.

How much of that is down to not wanting to be there though? If there was chance to come back here and get back up to the PL I’d imagine motivation would change.

Don’t think it’ll happen, mind.

 

[David O'Day]

Mannej is Gambian for "middle aged bloke"

 

[Captain Dart]

I suspect there is a lot of identity theft going on then.

 

[HJones23]

Forget the on the pitch stuff, just imagine the melt down by blades fans if this actually happened. Our marketing team would milk this for weeks

 

[mmttww]

Josh Eccles has more goals in less minutes in the league this season than Hamer. Maybe let that sink in.

 

[Chris1987]

To be fair Heckingbottom played him as part of a front three a lot.

I don't think that their fitness training regime is up to much. Many of their fans I know speak about plenty of their players blowing out of their backsides after 60 minutes. That can't be a coincidence regarding Hamer.
