[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Gone to Leicester on a two-year deal.

Good luck to him.

Wonder if he will give us the wanker gesture if he scores at the AMEX ?

If he does, then I know what picture I will be posting again

Reassuring to see Leicester taking our cast-off. You wonder if they were in the market for Keith Andrews too.

 

[Ernest]

No loss and can't see Leicester appreciating him do a twirl then pass it backwards

Leicester have seriously bulked up their squad with mediocre players this year. Can only see that helping us (and other play-off hopefuls)

Leicester seem happy enough to have him which is fair enough given his record. Let's be honest, if we didn't have Bridcutt, Hammond would have actually been an OK player for us. The fact is though, he was competing with the best CDM in the league and it really showed. It'll be interesting to see how he gets on at Leicester.

Leicesters squad last year was very good on paper. I haven't been keeping track of their transfers, but if they've kept their main men, they're promotion contenders again. Signings like Hammond and the other 'mediocre players' (I don't know who) are likely just to bulk the squad out in case of an injury crises etc.

Good Champ player but we have better.

 

[El Turi]

His signing last season was a massive anti climax but he get better as last season went on. However, I am pleased we haven't gone back in for him this year and I think Agustien will be a massive improvement on him once he is fully fit.

I personally would have been ok with him signing, however , crofts had stepped up this year, and with bridcutt coming back, there wouldn't be much room, so hopefully JFC will get some games and step up for once

Leicester fans seem to be wetting themselves over him. Average player who helped provide decent solidity but was always prone to a mistake which Bridcutt had to deal with. His slow, backwards passing wouldn't have fitted in with the style of play Oscar trying to impliment so I think it's a good move for both parties.

 

[Beach Hut]

Surprising choice but good luck to him.

 

[Monkey Man]

Well done Dean, fully deserves a contract with a top-half Championship club. He struggled for pace last season but maybe he's at that "great footballing brain" stage of his career now.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Goodbye Hammond.

That is all.

 

[El Turi]

Can we go back to booing him when he plays against us or is that too harsh?

He has pretty much made amends now. Would be a hero if his chance at Selhurst had gone in.

He should have put that away but his form in the second half of last season is probably enough to mean that he will avoid any booing.
