Tomer Hemed on his way?

[Ecosse Exile]

On the plus side we already have his replacement.
The flip side is we would need to sign two strikers again.

I can't see this happening tbh, but who knows.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

My favourite player. I would feel massively let down by both the club and the player if this was allowed to happen.

 

[The Rattler]

I did think it slightly strange that he seemed to return to Tel Aviv from Tenerife and not come back here.

Why is Tomer standing next to a statue of Jimmy Melia?

Phew.

Let's hope Kayal signs up soon as well.

 

[Gabbafella]

Could it be that he was just visiting friends/family before the season kicks off?

Can't see this happening, or Kayal or Stephens leaving either. We have a great team spirit at the club and we are so close to being ready for the Premier League, players would be stupid to leave such a great set up behind. People need to stop panicking over half-arsed rumours.

If true, why would we be looking to sell our top scorer? He did very well last season - seems odd.

 

[Buzzer]

The article Suggests he's being offered €900K a year (net), do we pay players that much?

900,000 Euros NET would equate to about £750k NET here or about £1.4M a year or £27k a week gross. No inside information at all but I reckon that's about the upper limit at Brighton.

If we got £3m or more for him I would sell personally. Scored a decent number of goals this season but a fair few were from penalties. Never looks that convincing when presented with an opportunity and struggles to open up teams and really dominate a defence for a big man. Guess it would depend on whether we can get anyone better for the same/less money as a replacement

Good.

 

[um bongo molongo]

Maybe he thinks he won't get in the side ahead of calleri, vydra, Murray and Michael Owen?

 

[NooBHA]

I would be devastated to lose Tomer. I think he is a great player.

That said. It may well be the club who has instigated a transfer. Maybe we have told him and his Agent that there are other strikers coming in and that Tomer's chances of playing would be limited in the coming season. I don't see that being the case though. I don't think we would let him go before tying up replacements.

This is all getting strange with all these transfer rumours floating about. I am not afraid of change because I know he won't let anyone go unless he knows he can bring in better but the interim period is daunting but quite exciting at the same time.

I've spoken to a contact in Mossad and he reckons it's a plot by Hamas to unstabilise us.

 

[Ernest]

I never rated him, too slow and not a natural goalscorer

 

[chucky1973]

I've been very calm since May. No dramas.


Now.......I'm not.

 

[Sheebo]

There's another tweet from someone possibly an israli journo saying they're gonna go back with a better offer...

Most of the time I'm grateful there isn't a thumbs down button, until now.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I suspect his agent is trying to get him a better contract, by stirring it.

Not a bad return in his first season in England with someone of such deficiencies.

He strikes the ball well , works hard and that work rate often stops teams breaking quickly on us when we lose the ball
