my last thread on hammond

[Dave the OAP]

Lets assume he stays as we have heard nowt concrete


do we think that if he stays we will have a problem in that we do need to sell him to get any money at all NOW, or do we take whatever offer we can ( which oddly flies in the face of rejecting Colchester's first offer)?

Also what will be the fans reaction to him when he comes back to play in a few weeks time?

 

[clippedgull]

If he is still here, without signing, then I think the Withdean faithful will give him grief unless he ups his performances. I also think he should be stripped of his captaincy if he hasn't committed himself to our club.

In short, I hope he goes today!

If he goes to colchester he is a wanker

 

[redoubtable seagull]

If stays but does not sign then I doubt we'll see him play again.

 

[Stinky Kat]

colchester are going down, they like us have a shit stadium, with only one bog for away fans

Why go there unless you like shit

go away you are ssssssooooooooooooooooooooooooooo boring!

 

[questier]

I cant understand why he'd go to colchester, they are a crap club, and more then likely to get relegated this season

money?

I think that the choice of signing for Colchester is actually a sign of his actual ambition. If he signs for them then clearly he isn't ambitious to play in the Championship at all, if he decides to stay then clearly he IS ambitious to play at the higher level and will need to up his game to prove it - to us and to the higher placed Championship sides who so singularly haven't make an offer for him so far.

 

[scooter1]

I hope he stays, I hope he signs, I hope he plays - but I still don't think he's captain material

 

[SNOOBS]

If he doesnt get sold today does DK try to make him sign still? And try and get it done with plenty of time before the summer?

 

[Johnny Byrne superstar]

Not true.... DTG's thread is interesting...... Are you even an albion fan??

 

[fosters headband]

Without knowing what he has been offered by the Albion, why on earth are the knives out for Hammond?
What has he done wrong other than having a contract that was not acceptable to him, for whatever reason that may be.
Unlike Harding he has not said he wanted away, infact back in October this was far from his mind.

I can only think that the final offer fell below what he was expecting, much the same as when any of us go in for your annual pay round and either come out completely happy or really pissed off.
So why is Hammond any different from us?

 

[saltash seagull]

i hope he goes today but if he doesnt then he will get the same support from me that he has always had but i dont think he should be captain

I am not having the knives out, i am just wondering what the crowds reaction will be to someone who doesn't want to be here!

 

[countrygull]

I think the fans will be fine for two reasons: one because he has stayed (even if it was hobson's choice and may only be for a few more months) and two because he will be playing out of his skin for the rest of the season because he's clearly in the shop window. So that can only be good for us

Sorry Dave I did not aim that at your post, but there are many threads on here that clearly are having a go at Hammond.
For me I hope he stays proves to Dick that he is worth more, because in my view without Hammond in the side it don't just tick right.

 

[The Oldman]

Just listening to Dean Wilkins on BBC SCR he does not want him to go but thinks he will

I tend to agree.

Its a shame we cant get him to sign..

Colchester is hardly a step up!

How does staying with us prove he is ambitious?
I dont think we are in a position to be ambitious until Falmer. We can't afford the wages of the Championship yet and that is the bottom line.

I just would like to add that I think that Colchester could still stay in the Campionship, with Hammond playing at his best he could just keep them there.
