According to the telegraph Hamer has passed his medical today, they got an exemption on the 14 day quarantine period.

I saw a picture from Sunny (huge City fan in Leamington) on Facebook with 2 (possibly 3) blurred out pictures of incoming players. They were at his place in Leamington. He clearly didn't want to disclose names ahead of any announcement. Not sure about whether 3rd person in photo was a player, due to baggy shirt making person looking a bit podgy in photo. May have been blurring, camera angle!

Left to right: Demba Ba, Dacosta and Hamer.

Dacosta on left actually. Possibly Angel Di Maria in middle

The last one has to be Hamer, judging only by size. The middle guy I guess could be Dacosta. The other one, no bloody idea.

I’m guessing the one on the left is Dacosta, and the one in the middle is the Cov fan who posted it.

Ah I didn't think about the guy who posted it. Fair play Dacosta and Hamer it is then

Am I missing something obvious. Why are the club sending new signings round to fans houses to have their photo taken?

The players are probably in the care of someone associated with the club and knows Sunny. Think Sunny has a restaurant, and is a huge City fan. Guesswork on my part. but hardly seems outrageous.

Think he's a musician (if it's the guy I'm thinking of), so quite probable he owns a local business or two. As you said, could also be that he's housing them temporarily (or someone known to him).

I think the reason we're hearing more about transfers incoming this year before they happen is probably due to the higher level.

This is more likely. The club usually uses the Dallas Burston Polo Club to accommodate new signings however due to Covid this is closed and perhaps why they've used whoever this Sunny is.

This is different this year I think the players we go for from overseas, Hamer and the two others from France could be announced very soon as could O’Hare now he’s a free agent but the home market is changing and will continue to do so, the Wigan issue has put players onto the market all of a sudden, there’s talk of atleast another championship club going the same way and it’s a buyers market at the moment. I reckon this is going to be an interesting transfer window.

I wouldn't read much into sizes. A wide-angled lens has been used which makes things further away seem smaller and those closer seem much bigger.

The two on the left have got very thin left legs. Worrying, if they are new signings
