Depends if we want someone to develop or someone who's ready to hit the ground running. Personally I'd prefer either 2 of the former or 1 of the latter

Callum Styles for me... We know Robins likes him...

Or if we want to go all balls out, go and get Flynn Downes from West Ham

Vik was a huge amount of entertainment value lost, Hamer is the rest of it until O’Hare is back. Really hope we don’t get some nondescript CM in. Or if we do there’s room elsewhere for someone who gets fans off their seats.

Im all for backing recruitment teams judgment on (relatively) unknowns from abroad but would like one or two in that will be up to speed straight away

Maybe we need to do more of the dark art ‘head turning’ that multiple clubs have done shamelessly to O’Hare/Hamer/Gyo.

Think I read Styles can go for 2 million somewhere. Kitching will probably set us back around 3.5 million. Approx 5.5 for the pair isn't bad.

He liked Downes for certain but would believe its 12 months too late for him now. They need all the cover they can afford being in Europe

Billy Gilmour, we’ve been linked before. Not in favour at Brighton. Ex Chelsea Kid and looking at dates, Viveash might have worked with him. Still only 22 so still time to develop and mould him.

Alzate looks very similar to Hamer. We know Robins has been looking in Belgium due to the links to Dragus. Maybe...

Smallbone has started in the Southampton team so won't be going anywhere. The more I've thought about Grimes the more I hope we look elsewhere. He is suited to a different style of play and we need more dynamism than he is likely to bring.

Nothing like Hamer, he is pure destroyer.

Also always shocks me how short he is, that hair does a lot of work to make him memorable on the pitch I recon

He is also a sending off waiting to happen. I remember a challenge he made while playing for England u21 that was probably the worst I have ever seen.

Definitely a no from me.

5.5 million for two league One players sounds too much for me

Another name to throw into the mix. Joshua Kitolano. 4 goals, 2 assists last season in Eredivisie. B2B midfielder, loves a tackle and running to support the strikers.

No player is a "league one player" they play for a club in league one.

It would be easier to target players with similar attributes but who need some polishing instead of trying to directly replace him.

Do we think we need a set piece specialist or is Sakamoto and Palmer enough? Feel we need someone with a piledriver of a shot.

Not really, good players cost money. They'll be worth more than that the moment they sign on with a Championship club.

You have to pick and choose which of Hamer's attributes you want to replicate.
The long range passing and chance creation?
His defensive work and box to box stamina?
His ability to carry the ball 30 meters up the pitch?

There's not many players out there who can do it all.

Including Grampa Kelly who some think will be fine to see us through the season.
