Who in your opinion should city try to sign to replace Hamer that has the same ability and not cost more than 15million for arguments sake?

Just throwing a theory out there. Robins said he hasn’t done much training so far, is that because he’s been busy setting up an alias on twitter with a Japanese flag and a fascination for Dutch men?Wait, Simms is an ITK??
If you want someone as good or better than Hamer your going to have to send more than 15m.
That's an odd assertion considering we picked the actual Hamer up for 1m
We're not in that market though now and need an improvement. The £m we paid for Gus, not only has the market shifted but also the Hamer now is a far more accomplished player than the raw talent, we signed a few years back.That's an odd assertion considering we picked the actual Hamer up for 1m
Beat me to itWe could argue Hamer is a better player now than when we signed him.

But at that end for every Hamer is a Kastaneer, Jobello or Hillsner.Well I'd take another as good as he was when we signed him every day of the week

What’s your point? That’s the kind of hit rate that most scouts would absolutely dream of.But at that end for every Hamer is a Kastaneer, Jobello or Hillsner.
You might be reading into things just a little bit.Just watched the MK Dons highlights, Is it just me, or is Hamer messing with my head. He looks so happy, playing little jokes, smiling all the time. I know that's his nature, but if you were leaving would you still be the same
Almost like a cry for attention isnt it?....Weird how GIMOC came on here to brag about Latibeaudiere but hasn’t said anything about the contract that Hamer supposedly signed a month ago…

It's getting boring this comparison being trotted out everytime the club might be in for an unknown. If Hamer is worth £15m, then there's 15 chances at a million a pop that one will come good.But at that end for every Hamer is a Kastaneer, Jobello or Hillsner.
To be fair, he got constant pelters.Weird how GIMOC came on here to brag about Latibeaudiere but hasn’t said anything about the contract that Hamer supposedly signed a month ago…
Yep, but if he does move on we certainly won't be spending huge money. We'll have to take someone to develop. I'll be gutted if he goes.I can't believe so many quoting my same post out of context. It was as a response to the we cant automatically sign a Hamer just because we did before and certainly not at the level he is now. When we signed him for £1m he clearly wasnt the £15m player he is now. Some players look excellent elsewhere but for whatever reason dont work out and I was simply pointing out some instances where we hoped all would be 'Hamers' but unfortunately it isnt always the case.
Totally agree. We'll be backwards for a period in terms of quality as they hopefully develop, but in the meantime people will still be expecting play-offs. The likelyhood is that evern if we get 2 or 3 replacements using half the money we sell him for, that without him we dont make the top 6. I hope I'm wrong, I hope he stays and no guarantee of top six if he does, but I think he offers our best chance and so vital to how we play.Yep, but if he does move on we certainly won't be spending huge money.

He got constant pelters because he’d uncritically post any unsubstantiated rumour he heard (Hamer signed a new deal to be announced with the kit, Boddy working his notice, Jerry Yates and Jacob Murphy at Ryton with Simms), insisted it was true and then got arsey when people didn’t believe it.To be fair, he got constant pelters.
Not all of those are wrong to be fair. The Yates and Murphy one was quite funny though. Clearly mistaken identity (and the guy did look a bit like Murphy).He got constant pelters because he’d uncritically post any unsubstantiated rumour he heard (Hamer signed a new deal to be announced with the kit, Boddy working his notice, Jerry Yates and Jacob Murphy at Ryton with Simms), insisted it was true and then got arsey when people didn’t believe it.
Which ones are right out of those?Not all of those are wrong to be fair. The Yates and Murphy one was quite funny though. Clearly mistaken identity (and the guy did look a bit like Murphy).
Better than every player we had in the top flight? Really?I would break the pay structure just to keep Gus , not very often you get a player of this quality. I’ve been watch the City for 50 odd years and for me he is the best .

In that position I would say yes by a long mile . What he does on the pitch with regards to ground covered and his vision passing ability, assists plus goals I would say without doubt.Better than every player we had in the top flight? Really?
I'm sure I don't have to list them.

so from your reply you think notwho in your mind has been better ?
You’ve moved the goalposts a bit, but in terms of midfield from the Div 1 / Prem years is Hamer better "by a long mile" than Ian Gibson, Dennis Mortimer, Willie Carr, Gerry Daly, Andy Blair, Barry Powell, Terry Yorath, Youssef Chippo, Garry McAllister?In that position I would say yes by a long mile .

If I understand the details of the pay-structure correctly, it’s a fairly recent structure put in place by the new owner Doug King, if that is the case the problem in breaking the structure to accommodate Hamer’s financial needs isn’t the risk of upsetting other players.What I would say is we recognise him last year as the best midfielder in the league. Fek the pay structure and offer him what he's worth. If others don't like it then they're naive at best as their best chance of success is if he stays.
