Big centre half should of been booked first half then sent off when he was booked . Thought the ref let a lot go . Although I don’t mind that too much . **** knows how there wasn’t a free kick when Tommy got sandwiched on the edge of the box 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RG knows that and HNM has had a contract available for ages now. Other clubs know that to and rather than shell out will wait until he becomes a free agent. The lad is getting improving pretty much every game and he could move anywhere in Europe on a lucrative contract far better than what City can offer. No one can blame any player for that.

He is never going to score many goals, like Joe Williams (terrible effort on the edge of the box yesterday) it just isn’t his skill set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh1t_ref_again Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 NP has said an offer has been on the table for 2 years, but you would have thought the offer 2 years ago would not be as good as what we need to offer now. I am sure RG must be sitting down with HNM representatives to find out what we need to do in contract terms to get him to sign, or we are aware he is not going to. I think we must pull out all the stops within our new pay framework and offer Han as much as possible, although I think this will be below previous levels as I think NP is keen to get rid of the highest earners to level off the pay grades within the dressing room. If we could somehow keep the two AS's, HNM and with the likes of Conway, Pring and a few others we could really have a team that could push to the prem and develop and be good enough to stay there 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkev Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 Sometimes regardless what you offer a player just wants to go . no slur on city . I think he will go back into France / Europe somewhere . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 Ok let’s be realistic here. He had a fantastic game yesterday. But, probably since the Preston away game last season, his great games have been few and far between. Lets not get carried away after a good display. HNM is certainly a very talented lad, but he’s not yet displayed any level of consistency, and we are 3 years in. I’d like him to display some clear consistency and improvement before we up his contract offer. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it is worth a try, while he is in the side and performing like his old self....to offer Han an improved deal? If he goes without us even trying to keep him, we will surely regret it? The kid will be a star, and we should do everything possible to retain him IMHO? PS. He has just turned 21, and his best days are ahead of him.

He has come close quite a few times this season. I really do wonder though if he will leave without ever scoring, which seems so wrong and very odd.

I’d like him to display some clear consistency and improvement before we up his contract offer. He’s also just 21 too, playing in the hardest position for a youngster to play in - the middle of a Championship midfield (okay, bit of an exaggeration, but there are many under 21s playing many minutes in that position in our division). Maybe playing regularly now he’s “found his form” may bring consistency? I think we are seeing improvement. He’s popping up in better attacking positions, starting to get shots off too. I’ve never seen him as a DM and posters have rightly asked “what midfielder is he then”. His last three starts he’s been right in the mix for consideration as one of our better players on each occasion. There are good financial reasons to get him to sign too, even for a couple of grand extra per week. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are good financial reasons to get him to sign too, even for a couple of grand extra per week. I’m certainly not minimalising the difficulty of the situation he finds himself in - the centre midfield in a struggling championship team. I just think that, for the last season’s worth of games, we’ve seen an 8 or 9 out of 10 performance on about 3 occasions. We’ve seen 5 or 6 out of 10 performances on more occasions than we’ve seen the 8 or 9’s. He had a bloody good game yesterday. But the majority of the comments on this thread seem to be willing to wipe clean the previous season of work, where he’s generally flattered to deceive. I’m not happy that he’s possibly going to go for £0, as he’s clearly a talented kid, but I’m not going to jump on this thread and extol his virtues off the back of 1 game. I just want a consistent body of evidence from him before we call for a huge financial carrot to be dangled infront of him. The club need to play hardball as much as him and his agent on this, given our financial situation. We can’t go offering improved deals to players off the back of 1 performance. I just think we’ve got another example here of ‘we won and he played well so everything is rosy’ situation from many fans, when in fact he’s been under a fair bit of criticism for his recent performances and, whilst he’s a talented kid, he’s still got a lot to prove. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 I was actually going to say regards the goalscoring that you see him in good positions all the time and inevitably the ball will just fall to him on the penalty spot sooner or later. It's not like he squanders chances. They just haven't fallen to him and I wouldn't blame him for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Weimann cross to Dasilva, early second half, could’ve been pulled back to Han…as could Dasilva’s shot. What was the keeper doing first half, allowing the ball to be dislodged by Han’s Barnet!
