I was having a discussion with a friend the other day, about signing ex players, mcsheff, baker, doyle etcc, and we then came to hamer, if, hypothetically, Sheffield utd went down, and we got promoted, and there was a chance to resign him, would you? or would leave it in the past?
Its hot.
I'd normally steer clear but would make an exception in Hamers case,I was having a discussion with a friend the other day, about signing ex players, mcsheff, baker, doyle etcc, and we then came to hamer, if, hypothetically, Sheffield utd went down, and we got promoted, and there was a chance to resign him, would you? or would leave it in the past?

Precisely, we've moved on.Won't surprise anyone here but I disagree with most comments.
It would depend, yes, but not on him. It should be more about us and what WE need. We've changed our system of play and if MR persists with this new keep ball style or even evolves it further, there is a high degree of certainty that Hamer would be less effective in that role . And in that situation no, I wouldn't waste the money. He's gone to Sheff Utd and he's not lighting up games as they don't play the same as we did. Before everyone gives me the shit emoji, he was excellent at sparking attacks for God or Vik to run onto in space and he was able to take advantage of spaces on the counter. That is not in the Blades longball and our new short passing games. And personally, they are not Hamer's strong point any more. He was great in finding the long passes but less so in the short game that we're playing now.
Agree. It's a bit like fantasy football, but I'd the opportunity came up its a no brainer.Christ let it go
It's 2036. A near 40yo Hamer, now looking like Maradona post retirement, pops to see his old friend GIMOC for a round of golf at Leek Wootton. SBT guess insane, asking if we should re-sign him.
Gyokeres meanwhile, in town seeking a coffee table at the British Heart Foundation, is ignored completely.
After he left, Robins biggest praise of him was the type of person he was off the pitch and when he came back to watch us, he and MR were hugging and laughing together etc.It would depend on how he left behind the scenes.
It's ok to sign him back if he didn't fuck the club around and everything was transparent.
It not if he was duplicitous or strung the club along etc. That sends a poor message to other players at the club.
Can’t deny though that the timing has really screwed us over in midfield.After he left, Robins biggest praise of him was the type of person he was off the pitch and when he came back to watch us, he and MR were hugging and laughing together etc.
I’m sure he would’ve been pushing for a move to the prem but I don’t think anyone here ever questioned his effort whilst he was here. He never downed tools or went on strike. In fact he was giving 11 in a cup game against AFC Wimbledon a couple of days before his move.
We must of known it was coming.Can’t deny though that the timing has really screwed us over in midfield.
Because ideally you would own and develop a player like Ayari rather than try to replace him each season after his loan.We must of known it was coming.
The contract was on the table for months.
The fact remains, we have 8 first team midfielders (when fit) competing for 3 places. If you haven't got the answer within those 8 players, there must be something wrong. Pissing money up the wall on another ain't the best way to run a business, and King is a business man first, not a football man.
If the plan is to play, Sheaf, O'hare and Ayari (when available etc) as the three, then why spunk £10m+ up the wall.
