King isn't going to do anything to put the club in trouble. If we buy him it will be a price the club is comfortable with so don't worry about it. Why develop someone else's player instead?
I think the business case for each player is likely to be different so it probably doesn't work that way.
But we're trying to improve our best 11?
That’s fine, but I just don’t think the player is worth that value. As others have said, I would rather invest in two players with that money who we can develop with good coaching. We’re not a poor club, but let’s not pretend we’re Birmingham, Wrexham or a parachute club.
Tbf we had posters going on and n about how we didn't spend 4.3m on KKH to not be a starter.
Stats?
This is stupid though. Loans are guaranteed to lose you money as you’re paying wages/loan fee with no potential sale in the future. Hughes at 21 years old is almost a guaranteed profit at the end of it
We don't know what we are. If we're bidding it, we can afford. Why are people on here telling the club what they can afford?
also we improve or depth by improving the first team as the player how drips out the xi is likely better than the current back up
If this is true, then why would Hull sell?
I think even with Bassette we’re likely to make money on any sale a la Binks.
Because of the underlying reason for the embargo which is cash flow
I didn’t say we couldn’t afford it, I said I don’t think it’s a good investment which is different. Yes, Darnell Furlong isn’t a great, but two 6 mils would seem a to follow the strategy that has worked for us so far.
But again, i'm not trying to argue, 'two 6 mils' means absolutely nothing. Its just placing a number on something. The club have identified their target and are going for it, good for them. If another club in the league made this signing everyone would be like fair play for the ambition, when its us everyone gets scared that we might finally spend a few quid.
The owner or outside investment, it doesn't really matter. We're well within the spending rules. I suspect certain other clubs aren't.
Who cares, the owner clearly thinks its financially viable. Who are we to watch his pockets?
