NoQuestion for you all, would you have Hamer back in January?
Depth though wasn't it. Kept the others honest. We may not get injuries, we might be fine as we are but the risk is a mad one to take. We are so far ahead of the pack, not getting bodies in as cover is a crazy gamble considering the pay off if we get promoted.Well Costelloe went straight back out on loan, Banel didn’t play a minute for them, Shelvey played 11 minutes and Barnes barely over 90 minutes TOTAL.
So in effect it was 2 signings
I actually would despite the above. The Torp disrespect on this forum is wild though.Question for you all, would you have Hamer back in January?
No it hasn't, you stated that Hamer had never been promoted from this division, neither has GyokeresGyokeres has other achievements and has moved to Arsenal. This may have passed you by?

Our position and play style must be very attractive for Prem teams as a destination for prospects. Even if game time is limited being part of a promotion run in would be a great experience
He's never achieved anything really, even that, is my point.No it hasn't, you stated that Hamer had never been promoted from this division, neither has Gyokeres
He's not Hamer. That's it. He's a dominant Championship midfielder to anyone watching.
Does Torp need to run games? Hamer had to as the rest of the wasn't as good.He's not Hamer. That's it. He's a dominant Championship midfielder to anyone watching.
Personally think that is utter bollocks! Top teams have strong squads, we currently have a very thin squad on a bit of a knife edge if key players get injured. We would be screwed if Dasilva or Grimes went out long-term.
Burnley added 6 to their squad in Jan 25. It's just want is required to kick on.

Most people think we need a winger to cover/rotate Tats. We can certainly get better LB cover/competition. I honestly think it's mental we haven't got a plan B if Grimes gets crocked. Then we were obviously looking at Bamford so I don't think 4 is unrealistic.
Yes and I'd have O'Hare as well. Sod it, add McCallum in too.Question for you all, would you have Hamer back in January?
We don’t need to rely on two players to drag us through games anymoreHe just doesn’t have the same impact on the team. Hamer would drag us through matches on his own. Torp is a decent player with good technique but he’s not close to Hamer. The fact he scores goals in a free scoring side and Hamer doesn’t in a relegation side is the dumbest argument.

Nope, that was your "it's not a good thing we now own the stadium" argument.I was wrong using a teams achievements to rate a player is the dumbest argument.
No not intentionally but I bet plenty on here expected Woolfenden to walk into the team. Some times it can just focus players.i’m not really sure we will sign players to keep others “honest” to be fair
I don't actually think we were planning on MVE still being here, so we'd probably just be ploughing along with KKH at right back and no back up.No not intentionally but I bet plenty on here expected Woolfenden to walk into the team. Some times it can just focus players.
It's Mad we had no cover for MvE until this season. Sames happening with Grimes now. Needs sorting, would be smart to get a youngster with at least some of his attributes to understudy him. Give them minutes when we can.
Gillespie brilliant. Jess described as the best player, at that time with the ball, but overall not great. Stein loved for his effort, heading ability and toughness, but again, more loved than was justified. Described by one journalist as a player who could not trap a bag of cement.Colin Stein
Gary Gillespie
Off the top of my head. Both hits. Eoin Jess was good too.
Hamer should have moved on after they lost the playoff finalNever suggest Hamer isn't the second coming of Zidane when Shmmeee is online.
Torp can keep banging us to promotion while Hamer at what should be the peak of his powers pisses around in a relegation battle at Blunts.
Funnily enough I was having a similar argument about O'Hare and Rudoni last year...Yes and I'd have O'Hare as well. Sod it, add McCallum in too.
I'm sure he wanted to, but nobody worth moving to was interested.Hamer should have moved on after they lost the playoff final
Indeed, but something clearly stops Prem teams from wanting him.Hamer should have moved on after they lost the playoff final
2 on loan 2 smart buys would be enough. A 6 month loan from a prem club wouldn't have to promise them the world. Let them come in and try earn a spot. They can have cup games because I doubt we will be prioritising that this year. They will get minutes.That's total tosh old chap
As I said, we're not getting five players in on loan - which is the point I was replying to - because the parent clubs will want them to be getting regular game time. That means changing half of our outfield players. It's not happening.

It’s because he looks tubby. Might appear unprofessionalIndeed, but something clearly stops Prem teams from wanting him.
To be clear, having Hamer and O'Hare as squad players and possibly McCallum too would show how far this team has come, but they're all strong options in this league for their respective positions.Funnily enough I was having a similar argument about O'Hare and Rudoni last year...
Aidan Morris, plays a similar role at Boro and having a superb season, still 24.
Sure, it's ok to like players currently at the club too.Players leave football clubs and that’s OK
I refer the honourable gentleman to the 'Grallen' midfield we had to resort to for a number of games recently. Morris is one of the best players for what he does in the division besides...Grimes.Why would he come to us to sit on the bench, waiting for a player who plays every minute of every game to get injured?
I'd take Hamer as despite my disagreement with my friend above who may or may not be related to him, I actually think he's good for 20 min cameos in the Prem, even if existing Prem managers don't seem to think so.To be clear, having Hamer and O'Hare as squad players and possibly McCallum too would show how far this team has come, but they're all strong options in this league for their respective positions.
That and fucking up Sheff Utd's season in one fell swoop is tough to resist.
If we're talking until the end of the season and not looking at the summer recruitment, it'd solve the depth issues at left back and in attacking midfield with two players who are already familiar with the club.I'd take Hamer as despite my disagreement with my friend above who may or may not be related to him, I actually think he's good for 20 min cameos in the Prem, even if existing Prem managers don't seem to think so.
I see no worth in the other 2 for where we are now.
