I don't think so. Their last chance to get a bit of cash for him though.

If you think Hamer has had a better season than Torp it might be time to put the stats sheet down. Torp is a monster player for us under Lampard. Hamer on the other hand, even Blunts fans would tell you he's been poor.

Sheff U player of the year in the PL. Voted best player in the Championship last season. Destroyed us in both games last season. This year has been disrupted by bad management and injury.

Jimmy said yesterday we’re after a championship winger, someone suggested him as his contract is up in the summer.

I would love to see Hamer back, if he can shed a few pounds and get his fitness back I think he would be a great signing, offers us a great rotation option too as he can play all 3 roles in midfield. Torp is very good, fantastic technique, such a good player, but for me Hamer offers more as an all round midfielder. Would obviously have to be for the right money, with the season Sheff Utd are having and his extra weight, there maybe a cut price deal available, It's defiantly a signing I'd look to explore.

I cba to argue about Hamer anymore. I liked him when he was here but he's gone. He moved to a set of wankers, he's in the pomp of his career and he's at the bottom of the Championship, his career highlight was playing in one of the worst Prem sides ever and he seemingly is of little interest to teams higher up the ladder.
I'd rather concentrate on our players, I think there's a handful with better careers ahead than old Gus. Rudi and MvE for sure and I think a couple of others might surprise, Torp being one.

In cases where we have three games in a week, being able to play someone nearer to Torp's ability as opposed to Jamie Allen's would be a clear advantage. The games where it's been just Grimes and Allen in the middle have been real hard work because it's just not Allen's game and especially not from the start.

Likewise I wouldn't be signing a winger with a view to dropping Sakamoto or EMC.

Allen has started three games this season. We simply don’t have the need for an expensive replacement who’s only really adding value that infrequently.

I think we'd struggle to get in true Premier League quality while in the Champ. Think it would perhaps be more sensible to bring in some experienced loans, who we won't be committed to for years, to help see us over the line.

I think we'll see from now until January how frivolous another quality option in central midfield would or would not be.

Transfer window opens, sign Fatawu, few weeks later he's giving the shush to Inbred Corner. Crowd goes wild, chinos soiled.

Question for you all, would you have Hamer back in January?
Click to expand...
Don't think we can afford his transfer fee or wages.
Need to find another MVE or Tatsu for the prices we paid. Inflation means £3 to £4 million for a player from abroad with that potential. If we choose correctly, would make money even if they are not quite PL class.

Think Mehmeti is a good shout if we can do it. Still quite young, six months left on his deal, potential to make it higher.

He’s definitely one of them, but you’re looking at £20 million plus.

Everything I have read on here seems to have the assumption we have a magic money tree. The reason Hamer, O'Hare and McCallum are at a parachute club is because we could not afford their wage demands and signing on fees. Two were free transfers.
Perhaps we do have £10 million to spend according to Hull, but we still have a very tight wage limit and Doug will not break it, as it would upset our existing players. That is why I think we will sign players from lower wage clubs in the UK, take subsidised loans or buy from abroad.

Was thinking about this before. Our position in the table makes it very difficult to structure deals for anyone I think. Even the Gambian lad. If he waited till the summer we could probably offer four times the salary if necessary. There would probably need to be clauses with hefty wage increases if we get promoted.

Well I didn't start it. If posters make a claim that is disputable, then people will go for it. It is only opinions, often backed by facts, but it does not mean anyone is right. We all come on here for our two penny worth. Probably in my case, a little more than that.
Unlike some people on here I respect others opinions and try to keep it civil.

Mehmeti can play on both wings and attacking midfield, he’d be the perfect January signing IMO.

On the Hamer debate I thought he was by far the biggest influence in the second half of the Vik & Gus season. I think he came back from suspension and then played like a man possessed for the remainder. Almost single handedly dragging the team up. The goal against Boro in the play offs typified it, Vik wanted it, but Gus was going to get it come what may

I love Torp, but Gus in his pomp is a cut above

They're in a similar place to where we were with O'Hare, clearly not going to renew so do you cash in on him in January or use him to get into the top 6. Either way if we are seriously interested he'll cause a massive fuss at Bristol if they don't let him go.
