Everton leading the chase for former Liverpool reject
Published 23:00 08/01/11 By Michael Morgan

Mark Robins has ­admitted that he expects prize asset Adam Hammill to quit Barnsley for the Premier League this month.

Everton are leading the chase for the former ­Liverpool winger, who has a £500,000 buy-out clause in the three-year deal he signed when joining the Tykes from Anfield 17 months ago.

But Wolves – whose boss Mick McCarthy watched Hammill in Barnsley’s 2-1 win over Coventry last ­Monday – Blackpool, West Ham and ­Bolton are also in the chase for his signature.

Hammill, 22, has notched eight goals this season and Oakwell chief Robins ­believes he has already made up his mind to make a switch to the top flight.

Robins said: “I don’t think there is any chance of keeping Adam.

“I don’t want to lose him, but it is out of my hands now. And, if he does move, then we’ll just have to carry on without him and look to do something different.

“There’s been interest from a few clubs, so what happens from here is out of my ­control.

“If someone comes up with the right money, I guess he’ll speak to them and then ­decide whether or not to leave.â€

I'd be happy if Dalglish decides to join in the race.
 
Hopefully there's some kind of sell on clause - but I doubt so, given his rumoured min-fee release clause.
 
Apparently, Wolves have agreed to sign him from Barnsley for - wait for it - 500k!

Here we are looking to spend about 10 million for Chamberlain. Hammill would surely be a better idea? Look at the clip below. He looks to have turned out pretty okay:

He looks extremely impressive in the video. It really is a must watch. Love the bit in which he almost twats Neville.

Isn't that Guthrie, not Hamill

I think you're confusing him with Danny Guthrie
 
500K to have him back as a squad member seems a sensible idea. I always liked him and we don't currently have a player who can do what he does.
 
I know it's the video but fuck me, he looks brilliant. A brick shithouse with pace, power, skill, a cracking shot, and the swagger of a superstar.

That video there is a lesson on how to make a video for a footballer. Not like those shitty Lucas videos where his 'best' moments are passing the ball like a crab.
 
Yeah we got rid of Hammill who had performed really really well on both of his loan moves, looked a different class from the rest when he came back in the reserves and kept the likes of Nabil el Zhar. It was fucking madness and I said so at the time.
 
I don't think anyone wanted him to leave when he did and certainly not for the paltry sum given his promise.

If we can get him back for 500k he'd probably be an instant improvement on either flank (I'm sorry to say).

Quite.
 
[quote author=LarryHagman link=topic=43511.msg1253432#msg1253432 date=1295138158]

Don't need him. We've got enough midfielders with pace, power, creativity and goal threat thanks.

Tragic.

FUCKING GO AND GET HIM BACK FOR FECK'S SAKE !

*runs about frantic*

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
 
Adam Hammill can take his Premier League pick of Blackpool or Wolves if he decides to leave Barnsley in the transfer ­window.

And the former Liverpool winger has made it clear he would quit Oakwell ONLY for a top-flight club.

The 22-year-old said: “If I do leave it would have to be for a Premier League side.

“All the best players aspire to play there, and there are two Premier league clubs who are interested in me.

“But this is a difficult ­decision for me because I’ve got to weigh up how much game time I might get if I move to a top-flight team.

“I’m getting regular football at Barnsley and I really enjoy playing for the club.

“I am not going to rush my decision whatever ­happens.

“I won’t move for the sake of it and money will ­definitely not be a ­motivation because that would mean I am leaving for the wrong reasons.â€

Hammill’s stance rules out any hope promotion-chasing Championship outfit Nottingham Forest had of luring him.

The Tykes revealed last night that the Seasiders and Forest had joined Wolves in the chase for their eight-goal leading scorer.

A Barnsley spokesman confirmed: “We’ve had two offers for Adam, from Blackpool and Forest. We are also expecting to get one from Wolves, ­although they have not made an ­official approach as yet."

He's available for 500k. Surely that's worth a punt for one of the most exciting attacking players in the Championship? Surely?
 
Was Kenny with us when we let him go?

If so he may well have had input in the decision, but even he was there but didnt help make the decision he'll know exactly what to expect from him both on the training ground & on the pitch.
 
I've always had a soft spot for Hammill but come on guys, if Wolves were chasing some other 22/23 year old from Barnsley, would anyone give a fuck. We need top top class players.
