And IMO this season he looks even bigger round the middle.
A lot of people find that up to mid twenties they can get away with a relatively unhealthy diet without putting on too much weight as long as they're reasonably active. Hamer being very active can probably get away with it for a bit longer. But get to about thirty and even if you're still active you put on weight with the same unhealthy diet. Hamer is getting to that age.
So if we're looking at Hamer for the next six months, fine. But I imagine he'd want a 3+ year contract and given he's been showing a less than ideal physique for a pro footballer for at least the last two years I reckon he's not going to be at the fitness standard required if we go up, even if he is technically good enough. Fact is PL is as much about athleticism as it is football ability. 20-30 mins at that intensity Gus will be blowing out of his arse and getting bypassed almost at will.
I genuinely think he's got about two more years max at a good standard before he has to start dropping down divisions due to his fitness not being good enough. And when he retires he's going to be massive.
