Good post! Of course they are,we have to remember these lads are only 20/21 ish,and in a completely different environment than they're used to. In an ideal world,a player like Hemir would have been an understudy to a successful striker,learning,getting the feel for the place and the league and coming off the bench to try to contribute when we're 3-0 up. Unfortunately,that wasn't the case...no striker in place,so he had to try to make the step up,with the pressure on for goals, before he was ready. People need to think about the actual situation,instead of what they dream it to be.
I feel for Hemir. Not that I was ever impressed with his performances but he’s a young lad in a foreign country and had a lot of expectation on his shoulders. In reality he was never what we needed as he doesn’t naturally press as well as our system needs
Not to be underestimated. Massive part of a young players growth is learning from senior pros.
Having no experienced striker doesn’t half leave a hole on the development plan.
Some of our gambles on younguns will be hits, some misses. No drama.
best of luck to the lad. Hope he goes on to be awesome as no doubt we’ll have a sell on once he does move.
His pressing has actually come on in the past year. Was pretty decent for the U21s the other day. Got one block in on the keeper that he had little right to get.
Chelsea selling Washington to Strasbourg for £18million.
They aren’t even hiding what they are doing man it has to be stopped.

The biggest problem with Hemir was that he was given the number 9 shirt and with no senior striker signed. Set expectations way too high. If he’d joined to play for the U21s I reckon we’d still be quite excited by him.
Anyone else nervous that Hemir ends up a top player?
I'm slightly ashamed at the way this lad was handled at Sunderland ...
... he'll become a good player and we'll wonder why?
Aye it’s a real shame.
He had the size, the profile. He could have been major if things had panned out.
It’s a shame, but as has been said will always be more fail than succeed. We are doing a fine job overall.

Sound like a Mag there
It’s a number
It really isn’t just a number and it’s a hill I’ll die on. Psychology is everything and he was presented to the fans, the club and even himself as our new number 9. He should have been somebody who could have become it. Rather than it.
I like that we go for in-demand talented youngsters rather than gambles on unknowns. Then if they don't work out, another team will be keen, like Hemir with Juve.
Just got back from taking the dog for a walk. and there’s an extra10 pages on the thread.
Can someone give me a quick update on what’s happened please.
I know of Mepham coming in on loan and that we are close to signing the Ghanaian lad, but anything new after that would be appreciated

I agree. 8,9 & 10 are special numbers.
3, 7 & 11 are very important ones.
4 & 6 are for stalwarts. 5 is for your king of Cb’s
Put in an offer for a young forward from Ghent for the U23s and Hemir is off to Juventus.
