Dean Hammond: UPDATE - Signs for Leicester City

[Quinney]

Too slow

 

[mona]

If we are going to play a get the ball to the front men quicker game then Hammond is the last player we want

If we want to have the ball at all away from home then Dean Hammond, or a similar player, is the first player we want.

 

[Albion_Dave]

Not forgiven him for missing from point blank range at Selhurst yet.

 

[8ace]

No thanks.

 

[albionalex]

Gets the ball, looks for a forward pass, decides against it, passes backwards. Does that far too often.

 

[portslade seagull]

Think we need to be looking at better than Dean TBH

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Even if he wasn't, he always seemed to be a second or 2 slower than everybody else.
Not helped by his desire to turn a full circle over the ball when it was passed to him.

Yes yes. Me and my chum @Uter said this about him as well. That full-circle thing really annoyed me and always lost us momentum.

This is the real correct answer, he may not start many but a very useful player to have in defending a 2 goal plus lead or if we need the odd stalemate game.
Would have thought he would be good value for money.

It's a from me.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Yes would definitely take him. Steady player and has a physical presence which we seem to be lacking at the moment.

 

[BensGrandad]

A number of people are suggesting that JFC should be included in the midfield but if that is the case he would need some physical presence like Hammond available to help him.

Don't forget his spectacular own goal... Easily the best one I've seen live... Will miss that about him!!!

Just seen a tweet from indykalia (one of the more reliable "insiders") stating that Hammond wants out of Southampton and wants to come back to us. Charlton are also interested.

This from me too, but this would make him nothing more than a squad player, rarely in the starting 11

This, can't see how he'd fit in

This

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Would think he's on more than 'squad player' money and that's the issue. To start he's probably not DREADFUL value but as a bench player I imagine his wages would be an obsticle. Perhaps a signing fee and then lower wages if he's available 'on a free'?

Also agree, yes as first option off bench, no as a starter.

Good luck Charlton. He adds nothing to our game. Thanks Dean, but no thanks.

 

[Blackadder]

I can understand what the doubters are saying but I would definitely have him in our squad. There may be times when we want to slow the game down.

Providing his wages are not too high.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Not been given a squad number at Southampton
