You can choose three

Dabo
Hamer
Hyam

Would have gone Rose but he’s not been playing and the way Max keeps proving people wrong he is definitely one of my favourite players but misses out on the top3

Anyone else?

Kelly.

Absolutely pivotal to the way we play. Across 3 leagues hes been the oil that makes us run smoothly.

Unpopular opinion, but I still don't get the Hamer obsession. We've had some very overhyped/overrated players before but I think Hamer is up there with the most overhyped player of recent years.

How can you not get Hamer?! According to some on here he’s already one of the best players in the league and worth £10M+

Yeah, pretty sure you’re going to find that very unpopular.
Hamer
O’Hare (I know he can have the odd bad game, but man does he run his socks off and he can make things happen)
Hyam (class act. Hardly gets talked about and I think that’s just because everyone’s used to him doing well)

End of this season? They’ll no doubt offer a new one, if they haven’t already. They’ve been quite good at that in the last 3 years. Would be criminal not to!

Yeah I mean he only works hard, is really competitive, can get stuck in, good range of passing and vision, can shoot, is still young and has demonstrated all of this after moving to a new country only a few months ago. That's all really though.

He cost a million quid and hasn't done a single successful rabona assist or scored 35 goals yet so I completely understand your opinion...

and youre all looking at me saying I'm clueless


One thing I can say for hype is that Chaplin was another overly hyped player that fans thought he was the next Messi, and because of said hype we made a profit on him, so in that vein, Hamer is worth £30m and should be playing in the Premier league with numerous adds.

There you have it! "Gets stuck in". What you mean is, his marking and position play is poor so he has to make a foul to make up for it, making it look like hes "fighting for the cause" when in reality, a bit more about him and he makes considerably less fouls a season. His range of passing is alright, but hes not doing it consistently week in week out. He can shoot? Hes a fucking midfielder, thats 50% of his fucking job.

Literally 1 or 2 people said that! Most, rightfully, can see he’s class but aren’t going over the top.

He's mainly been used as a deeper midfielder to start with (although that appears to be changing) so I'd argue that's about 25% of his job

Fouling is part of football and regardless of what people say, can help win games. If he can do good fouling, that's another good admirable attribute (one that's been missing from our team a bit).

"His range of passing is alright"... Okay.

Basically mate, for what we paid for him, he's a fantastic player. I know there are people on here saying "he's premier league quality etc" but quite honestly, you're just as daft as them

He's been playing well up against midfielders 5 or more times his own transfer value, I'm not exactly sure what some people want to see / what their expectations are?!

After that performance yesterday how can anyone not rate Hamer? He was on a different level to everyone else.

He hit the post when he really should have scored. Not worth the money we paid for him.

Good thing about recent times is it's hard to pick a top three favourite.

Recent years I've struggled to even pick one.

Most enjoyable time supporting the club since the mid-late 90's with the added bonus of having a few successes to cheer along the way.

Much worse than that. It was a sitter. He had time. No defenders. Not even the Goalkeeper. A completely open goal!

Just imagine the meltdown if that had been Max or Baka!

Kelly. I like players who stick around, and he's been here long enough to count Also nice to see players grow with the club.

Shipley - he's also grown with the club. This ain't about form / ability etc, this is favourite players, and I'll always have a soft spot for anyone from the academy who breaks through.

O'Hare. Convinced he'll be a star, he's not living up to it just yet, but he will.

Seems I like midfielders...
