We can, and must, be aiming higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'm happy to trust Enzo's judgment on this one. Your forgetting that we would have won ten out if ten and beat Liverpool 10-0 tonight if anyone on here was in charge. Especially if it was me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfcbluearmy Posted 27 September 2023 Share Posted 27 September 2023 I don't know why people seem to be so against this, he is a decent player that Enzo seems to rate and talks highly about and will play a decent part in our squad this season and probably at least next season if we get promoted to this looks like a good deal to me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_up_north Posted 27 September 2023 Share Posted 27 September 2023 I can see the logic. He plays 20+ games, we do well, get promoted and he is somewhat useful in an EPL survival, means we can flog him for £5-8 million to a promoted club or overseas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winteriscoming Posted 27 September 2023 Share Posted 27 September 2023 Really don’t get the logic behind this one. Decent championship level player. Hopefully if we go up can’t see him featuring that often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People do realise you need squad players prepared to play a low number of minutes right? Not everyone in the squad can play 20 plus games.

Lionator Posted 27 September 2023 Share Posted 27 September 2023 If Enzo sees him as a part of the future then who am I to argue? He’s another player who has shown a clear improvement already this season, and finally with access to elite coaching, there is opportunity to kick on. And it’s always good to have people here who care passionately about the club. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my mind a backup is someone that can still come into the team (from the start) and perform at a high level. Hamza, for me, is nothing more than someone to throw on for ten mins when hanging onto a lead. A 4 year deal for that type of player is lunacy. If you think he’s worth that then I respect your opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dames Posted 27 September 2023 Share Posted 27 September 2023 If he’s still on 60 bags a week signing him to a four year deal this early in a Championship season is lunacy. Seems our board really haven’t learned much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack1993 Posted 27 September 2023 Share Posted 27 September 2023 He had the option to extend his 60K P/W contract until summer 2025, which was about to happen We've counter offered 30K P/W until summer 2027, everything agreed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cropwellfox Posted 27 September 2023 Share Posted 27 September 2023 Enzo clearly likes him, he’ll have traded a lower weekly wage for a longer deal, he’s a home grown player who cares about the club and has rarely let us down. I think unfairly binned off by Brendan given the lack of belly for a fight in last seasons squad. Captained the team this season and I bet he captains us tonight. We then get resale value if it does become his time to move on. Good on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nettle Posted 27 September 2023 Share Posted 27 September 2023 1 hour ago, st albans fox said: Thinking back a few years, hamza was the main holding midfielder for an England U21 side that included foden and madders. Yes he let himself down with that red card v France but it shows that he must be technically able to carry the role at a high level. Enzo must feel that he can bring him back to those levels if we’ve offered him a new deal I remember that and he was probably one of England's better players until that sending off. Like you say Enzo must feel that he can bring him back to those levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzFOX Posted 27 September 2023 Share Posted 27 September 2023 We need a player like Hamza and if Enzo can make him even better than I’m all for it. im actually more confident about this deal under Enzo & his team than under Brendan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might not agree with it but it's fairly easy to see the logic: If we can and want to sell we net a 7/8 million pound that we wouldn't have got if he didn't sign a new deal and walked for free in June. If we can't or don't want to sell we have a versatile player, who the manager likes, whose pace and aggression is a real asset on the right side of defence. And is a home grown lad who loves it here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
