Theres no way he’s signing a deal that was worse than the one he’s on. He would have got a half decent signing on fee if he went for free in the summer.

 

No doubt he’s wrangled a deal on previous terms once/if we get promoted. No agent in their right mind would let their client sign on long term for reduced terms at his age. 

Not necessarily. Certainly other players will have had a relegation cut. He's bugger all else on offer has he! There's probably a promotion and other clauses, he either takes it or leaves it. I doubt any Premiership sides were in for him and I suspect we'd offer more than most other lower league sides. We can only really surmise what he actually was on and what he's on now.

Bang average player who is incredibly limited on the ball. Just about okay as a back up in the championship, nowhere near good enough in the PL. 

[Tielemans63]

Thought he had a really decent game tonight?!

[BKLFox]

I hope he is having a word with Jota currently 

[K789]

Thought he played well, some good bite and always showing for ball

[ChrisFilter]

Thought he was very good tonight.

two people agree with you 

[HybridFox]

The better of the midfielders today I thought on a difficult night. Got stuck in and was a BS booking let's be honest

He chases the ball around like a puppy and offers literally nothing on it - you pass it to him and it comes straight back. 
 

Unless Enzo can bring about some Ndidi-esque renaissance in him I don’t really get it. He was phased out when we were in the PL for not being good enough, had a year at Watford where he didn’t excel and now we’ve given him a four year deal. Give it 18 months and we’ll be wondering why we bothered. 

[South Shire Fox]

Does well most games he starts imo. This another one. Feel far more comfortable defensively with him sitting infront of it

[ajthefox]

4 more years for him seems bonkers to me.

[Stuntman_Mike]

I do feel like his game has improved slightly.

 

Thought he was good tonight and from what I saw, he seemed really unlucky to get booked which made it difficult for him to put in the type of tackles or challenges he usually would for the rest of the game.

[Chelmofox]

Judge him after a run of league games. I think he’s on the up personally and all things considered did alright tonight. 

[Nick]

Decent squad player on Championship wages who wants to be here has experience and loves the club and city - gonna need a few of them until 2027. Congrats Hamza.

[shailen]

He did well and with Wilf turning into a box to box midfielder, we're going to need someone like him in our squad that always puts in a 7 out of 10. I don't think he's ever let us down when he's come in either. 

[RumbleFox]

We really do need a Winks understudy. He controls everything. I like Hamza but he can’t play that role. It may sound mad but I’d rather see Hamza stand in for Ndidi as one of the 8s as I think his skill set most closely matches that of Wilf’s. I wonder whether we might be better with with Ricardo or even Praet standing in for Winks. Really hope he doesn’t get injured.

Not to me. I rate him.

[Ric Flair]

I know we've seen this before (early part of Rodgers tenure) where almost the entire squad could drop in and look good, but Hamza has massively impressed me this season.

 

I've concerns what on earth we're still paying him but Maresca seems to be able to get exactly what he wants from Hamza and Ndidi in all manner of roles. 

[ajthefox]

The issue for me is not an extension but the length of time. 

 

I've always likee Hamza but we've all seen how quickly things can go wrong and althoug he is doing well now, what we're facing currently is a far cry from where we want to be.

 

If we get promoted, I think we will quite quickly get a sense of deja vu with him and people will be saying the exact same things they were in the last 18 months.

[RowlattsFox]

As long as its reasonable terms you need players to make up the numbers, especially given the amount of new players we are going to have to sign over the next couple of summers. 

 

Makes sense for Hamza too, will never do better than here probably, settled and seems happy enough to be a bit part footballer. 

[TJB-fox]

Imagine Hamza receiving a pass on the edge of the box in the prem trying to buildout Enzo-Ball. 
 

Yikes!

It can only be so we do get some kind of fee for him at some point

[James_lcfc]

I guess you need squad fillers.

 

He's nowhere near PL standard though in my opinion, but seeing as we are in the Championship that's not really a problem!

[Tommy Fresh]

Love that Hamza appears to live in the heads of the Liverpool fan base, up there with Amartey and Chelsea

[Holly B]

According to some experts on here our coaches in the Academy are crap , the u18’s are crap and the u21/23’s are also being coached badly

Bearing all that in mind surely there is hope for Hamza to improve under a top class coach like Enzo ?
