Ron Robert Zieler is set to sign for Stuttgart for £3.5M No loss what so ever as when he did step in for Kasper he never impressed Ben Hamer has face has been used by the club a few times in the last week so maybe thats the clubs way of saying Hamer is still around and will go back as Kasper's back up
Don't think Hamer is good enough as evidenced by us bringing in Schwartzer to replace him as backup in his first season and Zeiler when Schwartzer retired. Rumours are that we are going to bid for Eldin Jakupovic again.
Hamer did well for us in the championship and had an excellent reputation before he joined us. I'm happy with him as back up.
He never played in the Championship for us - was signed by Pearson when we got promoted, played some Premier League games when Kasper was injured and NP immediately brought in Schwartzer to replace him. I remember him going on loan and being sent back early as he couldn't get into that Championship team. Last game I think he played for us was the 5-0 loss to Porto.
I thought it was the champ he played in - my bad. Porto game made him sound bad but the defence in front of him was abysmal. Maybe we could do with better then. He was excellent with Charlton though, granted it was a lower level
To be honest, the team were **** as well when he was asked to fill in. Maybe he feels he should be a number 1 again.
