Wonder if Hammond will feature that much for Leicester in the EPL
Well he didn't feature that much for them in the Championship!

We cannot slow down the midfield any more!

He passed the ball much better than our midfield did last season, surprised he gets so much flak on here

He was not a pretty player. However he was reasonably physical and was always a threat in the opponents box. He knew his way to goal, something our mid fielders last season lacked.
Every team needs balance.
Last season he made 32 appearances for the Championship title holders of which 22 were as substitute. Could definitely have done a job for us.

I'm sure Burkes popularity will rise significantly if he pulls this one off !
Yeah. Unfortunately he didn't care which goal.
In fairness he's a strong squad player.

I've missed watching him go round in circles at the pace of a large oil tanker .

and then lunging in two footed when he's trying to win back the ball he just lost.

Well let's hope we tie him up on a 5 year deal this time

I would not imagine we are interested in re signing him.

It was a result of Gus playing two "defensive midfielders". Little did we know we'd get a team with three of them the next season
This is exactly how I feel. He has physical presence as well which we were lacking.

Not so sure about your second sentence, but I agree with everything about your first one, apart from you've missed out on Toko.

I'm going to have to disagree with you here. Our better players do not play central midfield, it's the one position last season that we were lacking in ability. It may be the only position that we currently have enough players for but none of them are stand out players and I'm not sure any of them would be regular starters for any other championship side aiming for promotion

And over the last 3 seasons he has played a big part in helping his team get to second, fourth and first in the championship.
Couldn't agree more. After Crofts got injured we really struggled for dominance in central midfield. Stephens was our best bet but when he got injured we were severely lacking quality replacements. In my opinion, the only truly top class midfielders we have are Crofts, Stephens and potentially Toko. Ince is still improving, as is JFC, but when both play together as was the case a lot last season, we lacked any real power in there.
Hammond would be a good squad player. I suppose the question would be: Haven't we got enough good squad players and don't we need several steps up from there to improve?
