Ronaldo Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Hamann/Speed second half of the 98/99 season. I don't really recall much of us doing much under Dalglish other than when he guided Keegan's team to 2nd place after he resigned, but Hamann was such a good player. It's just a shame we were a shambles at the time and he got poached by Liverpool. Don't know if Kenny looking after his old club had anything to do with it, but Didi was one of the few all round box to box midfielders we have had in the last couple of decades. Wasn't it against Juventus in a friendly when he scored that thunderbastard? Yeah I remember watching that and thinking what a player we have got here. I think he got stifled under Kenny's formation where we seemed to be playing with four central midfielders most games that season. Hamann played, at most, two games under Dalglish before he was sacked. Your brain's got some imagination, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinport53 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 He seems keen. Wonder if Rafa is too. He gets asked whether we have contacted him, and he says "not yet, no.", hmmm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamann mainly played under Gullit. Dalglish only had him two matches. There was me thinking Dalglish signed a really good player and it was Gullitt after all that.

Guest Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Is that for real? Hamann was signed by Dalglish after World Cup 98. Dalglish was sacked August 98. Hamann was available for two games under Dalglish and 36 under Gullit. Not hard? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Is that for real? Hamann was signed by Dalglish after World Cup 98. Dalglish was sacked August 98. Hamann was available for two games under Dalglish and 36 under Gullit. Not hard? I saw Hamman's debut for us against Bray Wanderers in a pre season. Scored an absolute belter from near the halfway line. He'll always be seen as a Judas for going to Liverpool, on the flip side.. he was given a copy of mein kampf for a xmas present by the players. I'm not surprised he wanted out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Still waiting to be excited by transfer links - think Gray would be a good signing, but have to confess that I thought we might be linked to players with a slightly higher reputation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I don't have a list of names for you - although I could give it a try later on - but with the money in the PL, Rafa's name etc, I thought we'd be setting our sights a bit higher than Tom Lawrence and Tammy Abraham on loan.

Greg Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Dalglish signed quite a few good players, amongst many crap or over the hill ones, Shay Given, Gary Speed, Didi Hamann, Nobby Solano, Nikos Dabizas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. If he'd been able to trust his flair players a bit more it would have got the best out of the ones he did sign. That midfield of Hamann, Speed, Batty and Lee was chock full of quality, but they were all central midfielders so he wasn't doing them any favours by playing them together imo.

No doubt Speed could do a job on the left but he never struck me as someone who was a natural wide player. Maybe if you had a natural outlet on the other flank or some pace up front it would work better. Just our team under Dalglish was very one paced and turgid. None of them were bad players, just too many of the same type. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
