Okay so I’m wrong and the players aren’t despite saying the same. Fair enough

Think he's saying that you are wrong in insinuating that both aren't deserving winners.

They’re central midfielders, stats don’t tell the full story. I believe we had a similar conversation last year when you scoffed after I suggested Flynn Downes would be more in demand than Hamer.

Flynn Downes - I remember him

2022-23170010

The 17 is for appearances, the 1 is for a yellow card

We signed Vik for £1m
Rhian Brewster cost £23.5 m

Doesn't make the one that cost the most the better player.
I'm not saying that Alex Scott isn't a very good player, I'm just saying that Hamer shouldn't be undervalued with the number of goals and assists he has. Plus, he's a fantastic player imo.

Yes and Vik will be going for that sort of money now so the comparison won’t work

I admire your faith in him! I just think city fans massively over rate him. Each club had a vote for team of the year (a journalist I think) and they voted for Alex Scott. I’d have had Norwood and Cullen personally and Hamer wouldn’t even be in my top 5 central midfielders.

There will be greater interest in Scott from the premier league but city fans are insistent he isn’t as good as Hamer despite knowing very little about him. He will go on to have a career that blows Hamer’s out the water no doubt.

I admire the support it’s great but I don’t think its accurate. On a side note, I listened to a twitter space about the game and their take was ‘Hamer was world class’ and the ‘only negative was vik’. Takes like that confirm there is an element of bias in our fans views of Hamer for some reason.

Bristol City - Alex Scott - they want minimum £25m for him

Hamer - the difference in goals scored and assists !!!

Hamer 38 games. 8 goals 10 assists
Scott 48 games. 2 goals 5 assists

Met him at the gym last night. To cut a long story short, I was promised a signed shirt by someone connected and didn't get it for my son. He said if you follow me home, I have a shirt he can have. What a lovely guy, so kind, so modest. My son is made up

Scott is a much better player and that will be reflected in his price tag

I actually disagree with this completely, Scott has a higher potential ceiling sure , hence his price tag due to age .. but hamer has been far better this season ..

Gus is surely worth 8-12 million

No one. In my view we haven't had a better player in that period.

Hamer is a much better player than Scott right now. The reason Scott is likely to command a higher fee is a combination of being English, being younger and having more potential to improve. Hamer could well be already at his peak!

And Scott might not reach his potential. Happens frequently in football.

I've reworked his song in recognition of his loyalty to the Netherlands and to remove the swearing which is uncouth:

He's a Dutchman
He didn't cost us much and
He's got a great first touch man
Gustaaavooo

I doubt it costs players much for extra shirts. The mark up on them will be huge. I’m guessing it’s around £20 max with printing.

When was the last time Brazil or the Netherlands called up a player playing in the Championship? Maybe Netherlands might have called someone up who was already capped but got relegated from the Prem but I can’t imagine either side are at a low enough ebb to be looking in England’s second tier for players right now.

To be fair I think the required quality to get into the Dutch or Brazilian squads is slightly higher than to get into Sweden's.
