“Obviously there was a higher skill ceiling of players then but overall the quality was the same as the championship now…….etc wingbacks are midfielders.”

Loves a big call Shmmeee does.

If we’ve got say £13m (£3M ish from Vik still and £10m from Hamer up front) I’d be spending £6m on a CM £3m on a CB and then maybe a couple of mill on some prospects at ST and CM. Loan in a RWB.

Gives us:

Wilson/Collins
van Ewijk/RWB
Dasilva/Bidwell
Thomas
Fadz/Latibeaudiere
Binks/LCB
CM/CM
Sheaf/Eccles/Kelly
O’Hare/Palmer/Sakamoto/Allen
Simms/Wright/ST/Godden

is that a significant upgrade on last season? Still all hinges on the Gus replacement for me.

Very good for us in the second half of last season but £15m is a great piece of business for this club.

Boateng was one ugly footballer, Gus is polar opposite so easy on the eye.

Pending Dutch call up happening soon, another thing I predicted and was laughed at.

Disagree about Boateng, he was far from ugly. I assume you're referring to play rather than his looks.

Do you think the game hasn’t progressed in 25 years? Are we really saying top end 2023 Championship is a million miles from bottom of 1998 Premiership?

Great players always play better with good players around them. They on same wavelength. Vik and Gus combined so well.

Just like when Gary Mac all of sudden combined so well with Robbie Keane.

(Not for 1 min claiming gus and Vik are comparable to them different era different league).

We’re talking overall quality of team and players. I’d say Hamer is more influential for this team than Dublin was, but it’s very close. Both absolutely talismanic, I just think a CM has more chance to get involved in the game.

And the point is the quality of game Dublin was playing wasn’t a million miles away from that that Hamer is playing. Yes there was le Boeuf and Bergkamp, but also some absolute dross that wouldn’t get near a Championship side today.

Dublin was scoring against top end of the premiership players, as both a striker and a CB.

And I would say those defenders are a million miles away from the top end of the championship, yes.
That's why they played at the highest level and won world cups and champions leagues.

As good as Hamer is, he's nowhere near the level Dublin was, that's why he's gone to a relegation favourite. And whether the games moved on or not doesn't alter that fact.

Im not sure people appreciate quite how rare it is to have a CM get double figures goals and assists TBH.

Going to be an interesting one the fee. Considering they will likely be relegated i hope the majority is up front with a huge sell on fee.

Oooof this one hurts hard.

Such a shame someone more stable than Sheffield United haven't come in for him. Anyway you look at it they are going to struggle. It'll be hard for him to shine getting pummeled week in week out which in turn weakens any sell on value we have in his contract and probably means any performance related parts of the deal won't get met.

But your saying what hamer did in the championship is on par with what Dublin did the the prem, its ridiculous.

Let's see how he gets on in the top flight, I strongly suspect they'll be bottom 3 come May.

Yeah it's massive really. Without those goals and assists we were firmly mid table last season. Going to be tough finding a replacement.

At least now the club can move forward. The proceeds will enable us to buy quality . Long term player investment . Now there's a thing.

Have the two competing for one spot, if one doesn't hit the ground running or doesn't adapt hopefully the other will.

Could go a midfield three until O'Hare is back

Im not sure that will be his fault though. Agree to disagree but I think Hamer is a better all round player than Dublin, and I rate Dublin. Hamer is up there with Keane, McAllister, Nilsson IMO for a rare breed of player that makes the game look effortless. That’s in no way an attempt to denigrate Dublin who I love. I hate these stupid “which of these players is better” games.

When he got sent off with a 4 game ban I was pissed off with him but since then he’s been a revelation. Inevitable but I’m gutted.
