Hello from Hamilton

Hi

Just a Hamilton Accies fan saying hello here! You'll be enjoying life under Sir Alex then? Make the most of it, but remember, he's ours really! And we fully expect him to go on to even bigger and greater clubs than your good selves; as you've discovered the man is a born winner. Who knows what we'd have achieved if he'd stayed with us for all of last season?
Anyway, we hear that there may be one or two youngsters from Norwich on their way to Hamilton on loan this season, Carlton Morris is already there...any word of any other loans happening?
All the best for the new season folks, we'll be watching with interest!

Welcome young sir! We've already had that with one manager (Paul Lambert) but hopefully Sir Alex will spend a bit longer with us than Lambert did. Neil did an amazing job coming here and achieving what he did considering our position under Neil Adams. To be fair, I personally was stunned when we appointed him, I had never heard of him before and neither had many Norwich fans, but gosh were we pleasantly surprised!!! Hopefully a few more of our youngsters will head your way for some match time! We have a good youth system here! All the best for next season!

Noone in Hamilton was surprised R&W, it's what Sir Alex does....probably the best motivator and man manager I have ever seen in football. He brings the best out of all his players, a natural leader and born winner. Last season we won at celtic for the first time since 1938, and had our best victory (5-0) and biggest away victory (again in 1938) against our closest rivals Motherwell. We massively over achieved last season until he went to you guys, and it won't surprise any Hamilton fan if Norwich do similarly next season. Good luck to you...you've got a gem there!

Not heard anything. The other young players that I personally think might be suitable for Hamilton could be Connor McGrandles, Adel Gafaiti, and Jamar Loza.

Connor McGrandles would be an interesting one as we signed him from Falkirk at the end of the season that you beat them in the play-off final, for a million quid, but he hasn't had much football since coming down (just 1 or 2 appearances I think). Perhaps a season in the SPL could be of mutual benefit? He'll clearly need to go out on loan to get football, so would be an obvious candidate. 

Adel Gafaiti is an odd one, we stole him from Rangers. He's 21 in a couple of days and hasn't kicked a ball for us, but was used in pre-season last summer and is rated highly. He's got one year left on his deal so possibly one that you could loan with a view to signing? He's lived in Glasgow before, so your proximity to Glasgow might make that a goer? 

Do you need another striker or does Carlton Morris complete the set? Jamar Loza has arguably been the more successful of the two so far (although he is older),lightening fast and should imagine he'd be able to make an impact at that level.

At least you know that Alex Neil isn't going to palm any duds off onto you, he'll only be sending you players that he thinks are good enough!

Would agree with Canaryboy. The Murphy twins are probably our most exciting prospects. Josh has had some impact on the first team, Jacob less so, but both have been loaned out since Neil came in, so he doesnt see them as being ready just yet, and with us going up a league he's unlikely to feel differently this season. Going up to yourselves again might benefit both sides

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Alex Neil came recommended by Mike Phelan, and that other Sir Alex had an eye on him or something. Could be *bleep*, could be true who knows. Also Beastie, you can have van Wolfswinkel....please just take him! Loza would do well for you lot I reckon as well, scored a few from the bench in championship, blistering quick and quite a decent finisher, just needs a bit more experience. Loza also is already part of the Jamaican international team, which is quite astounding given his age really
