hamer was so good at progressing it quickly and honestly just taking a calculated risk. Torps the only one who might actually have the capability to do that but they’re all so risk averse they just piss about with it sideways and backwards until one of them falls asleep in the ball and gifts it to the opposition
Nothing like as good or dynamic as Hamer (which is fair enough), but good on the ball, quick of thought, and is able to move the ball quickly and decisively with clever progressive passes.Am I the only one that doesn’t see it with Torp? Just not even on the same planet as Hamer in terms of passing or anything else. Seems to have an OK shot on him and take a decent corner, but in game I can’t remember one thing he’s done where I’ve been impressed.
If you compare every midfielder to Hamer, you’ll always be waiting. Gus is gravy and I was shocked he is playing in the championship this yearAm I the only one that doesn’t see it with Torp?

It would be interesting to know his actual feelings on his move.I was shocked he is playing in the championship this year
Do you want to borrow my glasses. Torp is technically very good but needs to build up his strength and stamina to properly compete in this league. Will turn into a very good acquisition.Am I the only one that doesn’t see it with Torp? Just not even on the same planet as Hamer in terms of passing or anything else.

Was honestly shocked he didn’t go wolves. Lives locally still, and would of been a great player for the projection style of play they had going on.It would be interesting to know his actual feelings on his move.
It's hard to say it's been good for his career. He should be an established Premier League player by now.

It will be interesting to see if any of the prem clubs come in for him in January. I could see a Wolves or Everton getting desperate and paying whatever SU ask for him to try and avoid relegation.It would be interesting to know his actual feelings on his move.

I definitely don't think he's as good as Hamer now or when Hamer got to us, but I do think he's our technically most capable midfielder he just needs to work on getting up to speed with the championship and realise he doesn't have as much time as he did in his last league. He also needs to be a bit more physical and bulk up a bit.Am I the only one that doesn’t see it with Torp? Just not even on the same planet as Hamer in terms of passing or anything else.

I think the last part sums up Lati perfectly I have never seen a player who thinks so slowly when he has the ball and then normally makes the wrong decision but unjust passes it out of play.He has his moments, has a good range of passing, definitely a player in there if you can get him going, but he just seems so slow in speed of thought, the game has already moved on before he knows what he wants to do.
Well that's quite a high bar to live up to.Am I the only one that doesn’t see it with Torp? Just not even on the same planet as Hamer in terms of passing or anything else.

One way I can see how he may have been considered as a replacement is in his passing. I think he can thread a decent pass for the strikers. Plus we know he can shoot.
I think he needs to improve his fitness and strength, but the biggest thing I reckon is believing in himself. I guess he also has the problem of not having a Vik up front to take some of the pressure off having to do everything.
If he sorts those out he could be a Hamer-lite, but never full-fat Hamer (unless he starts getting a penchant for Samoan Joe's as well).

Rate the fact you’re playing the England international out of position for O’Hare.
His technique is as good as Hamer but he just doesn't have that explosiveness which is what really sets Hamer apartI definitely don't think he's as good as Hamer now or when Hamer got to us, but I do think he's our technically most capable midfielder he just needs to work on getting up to speed with the championship and realise he doesn't have as much time as he did in his last league. He also needs to be a bit more physical and bulk up a bit.
The rest is just confidence though - i'd love him to try some more audacious shit and defence splitting balls but i think he's shit scared. our fans don't help at the moment i don't think
His penalty against united (i think) was insane

Sheaf needs replacing.We desperately need a crunchy defensive midfielder who is also a leader, sitting in front of the back four. But who would he replace in our best 1st IX?
Rudoni is a creative player with goals and assists; Lampard has clearly improved Torp already (good game yesterday, pen not withstanding); Sheaf is club captain.
Weirdly altho' Torp is the obvious choice I would say Sheaf
Sheaf needs replacing.
Was thinking about the experienced CB, would we take Liam Lindsay from Preston. Out of contract in June and had an outstanding season last year. Can play on left and right and is a good age and probably affordable?Frank will have some funds to play with I’m sure in Jan but some players will need to be shifted out at the same time.
Out:
Kitching
Allen
Tavares
In:
Experienced CB
DM
