If you followed the thread of conversation, I was responding to a post that said Hamer would flourish playing at CM. My basic point was no because on a fundamental level, he’s no longer a CM really. Why go on the attack and say I was warping the data? We were looking at two different things...

Exactly, and the per 90 shows that Hamer’s numbers are higher. So the data isn’t warped, it’s a matter of fact. On your second point, Wilder wouldn’t be playing Hamer LW/AM if he was his most trustworthy defensive player. This where posters lime yourself are getting the symptom and the cause...

Obviously the raw totals are higher… how else do you compare a player who’s played 1,198 minutes versus the same person playing 3,476? That’s without considering that they’re playing in different positions. You’d hope a player who’s played 2,278 more minutes would have the higher raw totals! 😂...

I’ve said we need another profile… It’s got nothing to do with Torp ‘not being able to play in England’ which is just nonsense.

Read it and weep.

Bar tackles and interceptions, his numbers are better this season than at his peak in 22/23 with us! 😂 It’s been a long time, we need to accept he’s changed as a player.

Tell me you've not looked at the numbers, without telling me you've not looked at the numbers :ROFLMAO:

The first statement is incorrect because Eccles, Sakamoto and Rudoni have missed more games. Haji Wright has played less minutes too, there's probably others. In any case, Torp is on course to comfortably surpass 2.5k minutes this season, so does your point become redundant if he hits 2.8-3k...

I agree but there was that one moment where Kitching gets turned and in the Prem, we won’t get away with it as really.

He’s doing a good job of it so far and Eccles has been playing just as well as him of late. You need something different and at a higher level than Allen. In the Prem, if you don’t have athleticism in every area of the pitch, you’ll be exposed. At CB an CM, we’ve got good technicality but at...

To be honest, Ipswich’s recruitment policy seems to be geared towards creating a Championship super team. Can these players keep them up or are they content with being a yo-yo team?

Last year Onyeka’s offensive stats, passing and shooting were generally above average his match rating was 6.94 for a whole Bundesliga season. I’ve documented his impressive defensive outputs elsewhere. Now, considering Augsburg finished 3 points above the relegation zone, it looks positive. I’m...

Right, if you bothered to check his historical data, it’s comparable to when he actually played CM. Hamer hasn’t really played much CM since the Prem days and there’s a good reason for that. Besides, whatever the interpretation, the idea that Hamer is going to play CM and cover as much ground...

If we were on about playing him LW or RW, then it’s a fair comment to make. Presumably, we’d find a way to make Hamer work if we signed him but I’m struggling to see where we immediately put him. For me, it’s not so clear that’s a good fit for the team at present. Next season however, we need...

For reference, this is FotMob. Jamie Allen v Hamer and the picture is consistent compared to Eccles, Rudoni, Grimes and Torp who all beat him on all but 1-2 metrics. Hamer, to be fair, is in the top 10% of AMs for ‘possession won final 3rd’.

In fairness, he got injured in our playoff final but the rest of this is valid. He's a great Championship player but if we're actually serious about staying up, he probably isn't going to be a starter. I do think a lot of posters on here have a hyper-idealised view of him as a player because he...

That was 3-5 seasons ago, he’s a different player and all you have to do is look at his output. Defensively, his numbers are declining so I have my Stylistically, we’re a very different team to the 22/23 outfit. We packed the box with 3 CBs and 2 AMs ahead of the CMs a lot of the time. Hamer...

Is it a ‘dream signing?’ Louza is undoubtedly one of, if not the best CM in the league, but his role and Grimes are identical. You don’t want a situation where you have too many chefs and not enough cooks.

Hamer has been playing further forward in the Championship at Sheff U. For the nostalgia and clear Championship quality, it’s a no brainer. If it’s on, why not? However, if anyone thinks we’re putting Hamer alongside Grimes at CM playing as we do… I’ve got bridge to sell them. Rudoni’s...

Do we lack though? We're top of the league. If we get promoted, we'll definitely need more physicality because that's what the step up in quality demands. We've played the same way all season albeit minor tweaks here and there. When we lose the ball in those situations, we give up lots of space...
