How about the one that Hamer was going to Leeds as soon as Farke took over and the club would take £8.5 m?

Let him run his contract down then sign him up again next summer on lower wages. Sorted.

Previous contracts are irrelevant when signing free transfers aren’t they a few of you say every summer?

My understanding is that he's staying and not renewing his contract but I'm sure a promotion might change that . Or some mental bid

I think he’ll probably end up going to Sheffield United.

I hope so. Who knows what can happen in a year. Maybe his kid will hit terrible twos and he’ll be glad for the time away.

If they are offering 15 million you snap their hands off. Not sure i believe their owner is willing to invest that though.

Hes been doing it for years

He once claimed to live next door to “a certain Chris Hussey” and revealed Thorne resigned in October 11

He must have had another neighbour by 2016 when we signed La Fondre

The one thing I will say about the comments about him 'not wanting' to sign a new contract...often players in such positions would throw their toys out the pram, would likely be benched, wouldn't be great to have around the place.

Gus seems the polar opposite. If he wants to move, he seems pretty relaxed about and MR does as well as he still in the squads and being picked.

Strange one.

No one knows what’s going on TBH . I just hope it’s resolved asap . ( pay Gus what he’s worth ) and sign a new deal . Who knows we could get promoted and he’s where he wants to be . We’re all winners , if we don’t make promotion then he should have the option to be sold and move on . He gets what he wants and we get £££ for him . Or am I just wishful thinking and well off the mark

If that's the case then so be it. If he stays we have a real chance of promotion and it will be much easier to replace him as a premier league team and we won't feel the financial pain of losing him on a free so intensely. Of course the risk is he stays and we miss out on promotion but that's just a risk we have to take IMO. £15 million quid (at most) this season doesn't buy us a ready made replacement

Assuming by now that he is not going to sign any contract we might offer to him. If we could get £15m for him now I'd snap their hands off - we're never going to get a ready made replacement so the best thing to do is to use the money, not only to buy a broad replacement for him but to shore up other areas of the team and reduce dependency on individuals.

I love that after 154 pages, every 20th post there's a moment of deja vu where someone says - hey, why don't we just pay him what he wants and get him to sign a new contract?

Leeds have just signed Max Aarons from Norwich so that might rule them out of any chase for Gus.

15 million I'd drive him to brammel Lane , we'd have the opportunity to spend 10 and doug could buy a new mansion in Beverly hills ..

Bored of it now

I am sure with even 10 million we could pick up a great box to box midfielder from a European league. I love Gus, but the club comes first, and letting him run down his contract is a big gamble, and even if he does help get us promotion he would probably leave anyway. Dean Austin & team seem to know their stuff, and I am pretty sure they have a list of targets to move on if Hamer goes in this window.

I’ve been told this morning he’s off to Leeds , whether true or not I have no idea, but I’m not one for usually starting rumours.

Much prefer listening to the ITk, what’s happened to better days etc??

I'm sure a Saudi club will offer him a 300m deal anyway.
