Would you have Hamer back? (13 Viewers)

[Legia Sky Blue]

No. We need to get over our fascination with ex-players.

They’ve moved on and so have we.

Its never going to happen. Supporters have an emotional attachment to players that have played well in the shirt. Its the same with every club, and is why whenever there's a vacant manager position that the favourites will always include a smattering of ex players.

When’s enough enough though?

Are we going to be linked with him until he retires?

No idea, but last season he was Championship player of the season. This season despite being in a poor performing team and reports that he has had a poor season and played out of position, his stats (assists particularly) are pretty good. He's plainly still a good, impactful player. Whether it would be a good move to bring him back is another matter, but I can understand why fans using this message board might discuss it.

Oh I fully get it but people in here banging on saying we should sign Wilson, Maddison et al.

Just because they’ve played for us before, doesn’t mean they would or should again.

Last 20 minutes in PL chasing a goal, with his passing ability worth considering as a sub option if cheap, but hopefully we can get much better, slimmer and younger. I think a good chance he will go to Wrexham as they sniffed round him in summer and January.

Its not just because they previously played for us though. If they were crap nobody would mention them. Wilson and Maddison have had stand out careers since leaving us. Realistically their salary expectations and injury records would preclude us from signing them, but I understand why some would mention them on here. Football fans are generally dreamers and this message board is often an expression of that. As an example the 'Invincibles' thread earlier in the season immediately springs to mind!

That's a good use of budget isn't it?

If he wasn't an ex-player he wouldn't be discussed at all.

Maybe, but he is an ex player, and was very good for us, and given this is a Coventry City messageboard you shouldn't be surprised or precious about him being discussed.
