It’s usually a pretty good indicator that they are a good player at that level, isn’t it?
We’re obviously not signing him but the urge from some people to talk down his ability in the Championship is strange.
It’s usually a pretty good indicator that they are a good player at that level, isn’t it?Many players can lose form and not be as good the next season, I am not commenting on a single player, just saying that because a player has won a player of the season the year before than they are playing to the same level the next season.
No, it's an indicator that they were a very good player the year they won the award.It’s usually a pretty good indicator that they are a good player at that level, isn’t it?

No, we signed Grimes.Doesn't Doug only sign players to potentially make a profit on? As a club we're not minted. There's no way he splashes money on Hamer.
Looking at the previous winners of the Championship POTS award, seems to me like the vast majority (if not all) of them either went up a level or continued to perform strongly.No, it's an indicator that they were a very good player the year they won the award.
Even you can be claiming that a players form and abilities can't dip and even a very good player can end up not playing as well has he once has.
That is the argument you are making and it is frankly utter bollocks.
True, but hes not going to keep splashing cash on players with no resale value, there's a balance to signing players like Grimes and players that will make money.No, we signed Grimes.
Current performance!Looking at the previous winners of the Championship POTS award, seems to me like the vast majority (if not all) of them either went up a level or continued to perform strongly.
If past performance isn’t a good indicator of current ability then what is?

And that is great but players can regress,Looking at the previous winners of the Championship POTS award, seems to me like the vast majority (if not all) of them either went up a level or continued to perform strongly.

Barmy idea!Current performance!
Also we can see why he keeps wanting Jordan Henderson in England squadsCurrent performance!
it’s as you were david LOLYou keep saying this but a players form is not a consistent metric over their career.
A player can win a player of the season award and then be nowhere near as good the next season so his POTY has very little value when taking into account Hamer's form and fitness this year.
As you where.
I don’t even disagree, but the suggestion a player’s track record counts for nothing is way off base.Current performance!
Judging by the argument of some on here, then Wright is a spent force and Rudoni a one season wonder.I don’t even disagree, but the suggestion a player’s track record counts for nothing is way off base.
Reminds me of when he guaranteed KKH will start the season at left backYou would play Esse where Torp plays?
The decision on whether or not someone's worth signing is based on what they have to offer now, not what they were offering last season. That's all really.I don’t even disagree, but the suggestion a player’s track record counts for nothing is way off base.
Who's going off his whole career?it’s as you were david LOL
Well if you are going off his whole career it’s more of a telling metric than his poor form. Since he’s came to England he’s always been a quality championship player
the same poster said he would play Thomas upfronr rather than sign bamfordReminds me of when he guaranteed KKH will start the season at left back
I win again it’s too easy with youWho's going off his whole career?
I haven't said that I am, I have just said that a player can regress even if he was really good the previous season.
You probably shouldn't pick on typos when you can't even read properly.
Better luck next time Brenda. Still props for keeping your web grift going
Well quite, but there are other ways of assessing a player’s ability to offer something beyond “did they play well last week”The decision on whether or not someone's worth signing is based on what they have to offer now, not what they were offering last season. That's all really.
Weren't you saying we didn't even need a central midfielder?
Calm down, you were panicking that the Esse deal was off as we hadn't officially signed him 24 hours after the a report said he was coming to us.Halfway though the window and we haven’t signed a midfielder in a position we need, got a weird feeling we won’t do anymore business and go with what we’ve got. Risky
Worth mentioning that Grimes wasn't signed until the very end of January.Halfway though the window and we haven’t signed a midfielder in a position we need, got a weird feeling we won’t do anymore business and go with what we’ve got. Risky
Unfortunately there’s points to pick up in January. We need to be proactiveWorth mentioning that Grimes wasn't signed until the very end of January.
Sometimes you have to wait for the market to move before things fall in place.
I get your point, but we're top of the league with the current squad.Unfortunately there’s points to pick up in January. We need to be proactive
Win? You made yourself look silly by claiming I had said something I didn't?I win again it’s too easy with you
Did anyone confirm we were ever in for him?

Well we've got over half a season of data to look at.Well quite, but there are other ways of assessing a player’s ability to offer something beyond “did they play well last week”
I don’t think we’re going to sign Hamer and I certainly don’t think we need to in order to get promoted but I’m a romantic at heart…
Probably one of many factors as to why his manager and the one before him play him further forward.Well we've got over half a season of data to look at.
His on the ball stats are actually pretty strong this season, but his defensive ones are dreadful.
