Negan Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Wouldn't be a bad free signing but I hope the club do everything in their power and get Tomlin here. Wouldn't be to happy if this is the guy we look too, to replace tomlin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Ian M Posted April 15, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I'd very much see Hammill as an instead of Odemwingie signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I always think of him and Paul Anderson as the same person for some reason. Would be a good signing, he's a good player when he gets a consistent run of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipdawg Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Knowing many Huddersfield and Barnsley season ticket holders, Hammill is very talented but with a serious attitude problem which in the past has allegedly extended to drink, gambling and women he shouldn't be associating with. I'm not sure that attitude has gone away, he's just playing well again It's a 'no' from me Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know his assault charge, on 2 female paramedics, was in 2012 but I've also heard about poor attitude. Perhaps LJ thinks he can get the best out of him. I doubt Bristol Sport would be too keen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Bristol Sport would be too keen though. While he was at Huddersfield he alledgedly turned up drunk to training repeatedly and a couple of times stormed out the ground after being subbed. He's a good player, but no where near good enough to take a risk on in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 You'd have to trust LJ in his previous dealings with said player. Seeing and knowing what a close tight knit squad we have here, would he really want to bring in someone who, if these "problems" still exist, would be a better fit in the squad that Lee was actually a part of when he was a player here? If we don't at least show an interest, well then I would say that the problems could still be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 With what LJ is saying about the mentality and type of player he wants, I'd have every faith that if we did make a move for him, it's because Johnson doesn't have concerns about attitude from his dealings with Hammil. LJ has made it clear that the sort of player who is likely to upset the apple cart won't be coming here, so would have to trust his judgement.

chipdawg Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Yep. If LJ reckon's he's a changed man then we'd have to trust that and he's worked with him extensively in recent months. But given his history and chequered level of performance in the Championship, my doubts remain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderbeans Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Swap hammill for waggy? Still would prefer adomah back if we were to go for a winger as I see Middlesbrough spending big in the prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted April 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I think it's more to do with what we can afford in wages, and whether the player can still improve and offer something. We have to cut our cloth accordingly...loans are one thing...contracts are another. Hope we never get an El Abd situation again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderbeans Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Hammill isnt exactly lighting up league one tbf. Should take a look at players like Kerim frei. Once of Fulham, promising winger and very good with the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adomah is one of boro's main attacking outlets so can't see them wanting to sell him and we couldn't afford his wages now. Had a look on the barnsley forum and they some on there seem to rate him as one of their best players along with winnall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Maybe Hammill is on the ' oh crap we're back in League 1 ' list of players we might be interested in ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
