And Porto had only scored in the CL this season prior to this. But that's what comes of putting out a reserve side in a dead rubber.0

This would not help Hamer:
Leicester City have left a number of key players at home for their final Champions League group game at Portuguese side Porto.
The Foxes are already through to the last 16 and guaranteed to finish as Group G winners.
Riyad Mahrez, Jamie Vardy and Andy King are rested, while Robert Huth and Islam Slimani - both a booking away from a ban - have not travelled either.
Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel is still recovering from a hand injury.0 -
Did he? Leaving us on a Bosman make sense for him, but sitting on the bench for 3 seasons, and indeed being 3rd choice keeper for Leicester might have been good for his bank balance but hardly his long term career. I can't imagine they'll renew his contractcafctom said:Made the right decision leaving us when he did. Well done to him!

Doubt he's got a winners medal and if he has it's worth bugger all if you ain't played.cafcdave123 said:whilst you cant really argue with a PL winners medal and champions league experience, i dont think he is good enough for a TOP team nor experienced enough to sit on the bench playing half a dozen games a season.

Hamer, at 29 is just coming into his prime as a keeper, five or six years ahead of him if he stays fit. Good character to have in the dressing room and with CP and Ranierie to give him a good reference he'll not want for work IMO.7

Earned loads of money and still has plenty of peak years as a goalie ahead of him. An opportunity he might never have had again. Plus he is actually a very good keeper so will be sought after if his contract at Leicester isn't renewed and he may be able to command a higher wage. I don't blame him for making the choice he did at the time he did.killerandflash said:

He's reasonable, but not that good. Indeed his time with us was really the only time he's been an established number 1 at a decent level of footballDRAddick said:

now you just have to be part of the squad to get a medal (which he was), it did mean more when you had to make 10 appearances thoughbuckshee said:

Because he was only 23 when he joined us. That's still generally young for a goalkeeper. Apart from a few exceptions goalkeepers don't tend to become first choice until they're older, and then go on playing longer than outfield players. As mentioned above, goalies are regarded as coming into their peak in their mid-late 20's.killerandflash said:

Hamers distribution was another level of good. Best I have ever seen at the valley. Those low trajectory kicks from the hand, brilliant!6

He will be able to retire saying he played in the Premier League and the Champions League, and was there first hand to see his club win the Premier League in what is considered the most remarkable football achievement possibly of all time.killerandflash said:

He hasn't played as much as he would have wanted but the fact he has been able to do the above things is beyond his wildest dreams I'm sure. Not in a million years would he have been better off playing at our circus.6 -
Massive pay rise, played at Old Trafford, won the Premier League, played in the Champions League. I think I'd take that if I were Ben, especially when you consider that if Roland had had his way, Ben wouldn't even have played in the second half of his last season. It would have been the mighty Yohann; you don't really hang around after that do you?7
-
Didn't Hamer do an interview in the SLP just before he left saying he had been waiting since Christmas for a new contract offer? No talks were ever held, no offer was made and so he just left at the end of the season. Hardly walking out on us.
Personally, I will always have huge happy memories of CP's promotion winning team. Anyone who played in it is OK by me.
So good luck Ben with the rest of your career.18 -
Bet his back hurts this morning.0

I'd almost forgotten he was actually a footballer... 15 appearances for Leicester in 4 seasons plus 5 games on loan at Bristol City.paulie8290 said:Started his 1st league match all season tonight.

He could trouser 20k plus a week setting himself up for life then get back to playing football elsewhere.
Good luck to him.14 -

Average salary in the premier league is £36k a week
Can’t imagine he’s too pissed off0 -
Not pissed off, but joined them 4years ago and was loaned out to his childhood club Bristol City and only made a handful of starts and went back. Now 30 and probably available on a free.Swisdom said:Average salary in the premier league is £36k a week

I guess it may come down to who’s cheapest. Him, Amos or A.N.Other.0 -
Only 1 position to play for when you’re a goalkeeper - that’s the downside.
He knew when he joined Leicester that he was never going to get in ahead of schmeichel.
He could still move on somewhere else and play for another 10 years - which is the upside to being a GK.
He’s not had a bad career though - championship medals in the Premier League, League 1 and League 2.
Come on Ben, come home and get a Championship one next season......4 -
Don't care, greedy bastard, was never likely to play regular games.2

So I suppose you wouldn't leave a job for another that pays substantially higher. Good for you.Chippycafc said:Don't care, greedy bastard, was never likely to play regular games.
