He gets to show how good he is in the prem He gets a pay rise He will have a clause inserted that he can leave if the club is relegated and a suitable offer is made for him Obviously none of the bigger boys came in for him this time, but if he puts up a good showing this season, he'll get his move up the ladder.

Potentially... or Hamer (specifically who i'm referring to) stays at Cov has another really good season or moves to someone like Leicester and he'll end up in the PL, for a stronger side in years time anyway. A move to Sheff U or Luton is a bad move for any player imo. On the pitch and financially. Regarding Downes. Realistically, Downes isn't coming to us if we didn't have Martin as our manager.

SaintTex Posted 18 August, 2023 Share Posted 18 August, 2023 i could see the pros to a Luton loan move for him. He plays regularly in the PL Even if Luton is relegated he doesnt go down with them. He won't be blamed for Luton's relegation. If Luton stays up he will get a lot of the credit. If he plays for Saints in Championship and Saints aren't promoted, his PL value will decrease. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat from Poole Posted 18 August, 2023 Share Posted 18 August, 2023 Don't think West Ham would want to loan him to Sheffield United; think there is bad blood between those two after that court case about Tevez / Mascherano. As for Luton, dunno. I suspect we are a club that Prem clubs would be happy to loan players to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I've said is it's not a guarantee that a player who may be deemed good enough for PL, will immediately get picked up by a PL team after relegation. Teams may have chased Berge but nobody met his valuation or Sheff Utd refused to sell. Its entirely conceivable that Hamer has a good season in the PL but doesnt get a move next summer and is back in the Championship again. There have been plenty of such players in recent seasons - Mitrovic, Pukki, Sarr, Joao Pedro, Lerma, Billing etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
