I don't think Hamer's done too badly this year, a lot better *touch wood* this year then he was last year. I think button's been signed to keep Hamer on his toes and make him realise number 1 spot is not guaranteed.
 
I am not pleased really with him, yes we needed a goalie, but we have spent money on goalie when we could have surely picked one up on a free transfer and use the money spent on Button to purchase better outfield players would have been my preference.
 
Hamer has been much improved this year so far, superb in fact. Brum commentary mentioned he's had laser eye surgery this summer.

I don't mind having 2 equally competitive players at each position, but Keeper is complicated to keep them happy

I heard the laser eye surgery thing but I questioned it when on saturday mid way through the first half Hamer ran to Roberts about something with his eye, I thought maybe it was a contact or something. Could have been an eye lash I suppose... that sounded really girly

Yeah I saw that, looked to me like he was getting some solution for his eyes, I wear lenses myself and sometimes you can just blink and they'll come out of place, especially with rain.
 
I don't for the life of me see all this critcism of Hamer, his 2 reaction saves at the end ensured Charlton earned a point so it all seems unnecessary and unfair.
 
I'm a bit surprised, for one thing Hamer is our most improved player this season and for another thing I reckon Pope is a terrific prospect, so considering that we have a squad of 44 players another goalie seems a bit extra.
On the subject of squad size I was a surprised also to hear the Doctor say that when Taylor got injured that was why he signed Dervite, because we need 4 central defenders. Doesn't Mambo, who has just been given a new contract, count? I suppose at least we're doing our bit for unemployment.
