It was a tough second half of the season for him without Vaughan. Gets into good position but then when you look up to see who is going to attack a cross..... When he's on blob, he's almost unstoppable, he scored one of the best goals I've ever seen a Town player score, couple of seasons ago, to rescue a point, not sure who was against, but he was brilliant when scoring that goal. But he often goes missing & doesn't track back, he's one of those players as described earlier as a Marmite Player." - UTT. Strange comment to make given that he played wing back for most of last season. For me he was our player of the year until he was butchered by that Charlton thug.

Cash is king always will be to these guys and in general society whatever profession have no qualms with that. The most disappointing thing for me would be that we are selling off some of our best assets and keeping the dross ie scanz And no doubt replacing them with inferior shite.

anything over a mil should be accepted IMO, on his day he's class but he's very inconsistent 50% of the time he is missing.
Also he is replaceable

No way Bolton could afford him, surely? Only last week their manager was warning fans not to expect much in the way of transfers.. Hammill would cost them over £1m i reckon?

Funnily enough, I'd heard rumours that town were after Chris Eagles. If we could get him on a free and £1 million for Hammill, that would be excellent business. Not sure his ego would fit through the door at canalside though

£1 million for him? I can see this turning into a "drive him there myself thread"! FFS, not sure what you expect from a winger! If you're not happy with a player of his quality and the level of performance he churned out whilst delivering goals and assists you may as jack it in and spend the money upgrading your sky package! The games he went missing were few and far between and if Stephens hadn't almost broke his leg last season i don't think we'd have struggled anywhere near as badly. I'd be gutted to see him sold, especially since he's the only player we have who can play wing back. Sent from my GT-I9505 using proboards

Been lots of rumours, but rumours are just that. Who have we signed that is inferior sh*te so far?we've signed Peltier who is a good signing, solid, experienced,championship defender who knows the club so should settle straight in, Murphy - a good enough standard keeper, by all accounts, to challenge Smithies. Lets wait until the buying/selling is completed before we jump to conclusions

This fits right in with our policy of buying low, selling high; a policy brought about because we don't have the crowds to generate revenue and we don't receive parachute payments. Simple really, especially as it looks as he may need family support at this time according to adverse personal circumstances as reported on the absolutely reliable source that is DATM!

It's a good philosophy and works well but at the same time we are a football club and we need to move forward on the pitch so adequate replacements need to be sourced or else crowds will fall even lower if product on the pitch is shite

This is the way that the club works now and being a tight-fisted Yorkshireman, I like to get my money's-worth.
A lot of effort is being generated in going out there and looking for real talent at the right price and I really like that. I'm not keen on this model whereby it's buy the market price.
I am confident that Hammill, if he goes, will be replaced by someone who is just as good and in a year's time we will be saying , "Hammill who?".

'Flair' players get unfair stick in the UK compared to the steady Eddies.
You don't see the defensively minded players getting much grief for hiding behind players, so they don't get the ball, but sure as hell an attacking player will be called out for not tracking back or bottling a challenge.

With this transfer being a bit left field (out of the blue), the finances are pretty much going according to plan, so this is an added bonus whether you spend it on a couple of young prospects, or some seasoned (?) professional who's better than he is worth!

Funnily enough, I'd heard rumours that town were after Chris Eagles. If we could get him on a free and £1 million for Hammill, that would be excellent business. Not sure his ego would fit through the door at canalside though Would rather keep hammill, proven in this team, than sign some big time charlie on big wages.

We signed him last season, there's still a few years left on his contract. We took a capable winger, gave him increased responsibilities in defence and on the whole he did very well, scoring a few goals and ending the season with the most assists.
We're in control here...I'd say £1m is the least we'd accept, and if our recent transfers are anything to go by we'd probably get closer to £2m for him. Assuming this is all true of course..

We would be mad to sell him. He would be a bigger loss than Clayton. He is the only skillful and unpredictable player we have.

From Jan onwards he was pretty predictable at pirouetting into touch every time he got the ball. Think Hammill was very lucky last year at not being held to account for some dire minutes on the pitch second half of season compared to the attention other players got (Ward). It's ok everyone can reply saying he got a bad tackle that knocked his confidence or had most of assists *yawn*
