Just watched the Hamburg derby, and whilst both teams are struggling, the quality was diabolical.
I don't think anyone would have scored even if both sides had have combined their resources and started attacking the same goal.
Wasn't a stamina issue for us; he got injured. Though I don't think this changes what you're saying.
Fitness issues are recent, though, and perhaps because he's allowed to get away with it more at Sheffield United.
This is my concern. We need athleticism to help cover the gaps in midfield.
Hamer's brilliant, but can he do that at the moment? Probably not.
ETA: not that I think we will sign him anyway.
Obviously those people are Poland's problem too. But brainless racists exist everywhere (as a cursory look at the news will tell you); on Twitter they are indulged.
I mean, as well as having the athleticism of a heavy smoker, he did look like one, too. He looked 10-15 years older than he was when he played for us. Such a terrible signing.
I still think Kevin Drinkell is the worst outfield player I've seen play a significant number of games for us. At least in relation to the level they were playing at.
