I doubt if Hull will sell, they are under an transfer embargo and have the chance of a play off spot.
Hull are 7th and only five points behind Boro, you’d of thought they would be keen to keep all their best players, including Hughes to sustain their push for the playoffs or even automatic promotion. This will put Hughes out of our reach as they won’t sell to a rival.
Hull’s punishment incentivises them to hold on to their best players. You couldn’t make it up really.
Amorim would have played him in the same system he played in at Sporting Club.
He would have looked much better.
Re: Hughes
It would likely take something close the 20m their manager talked about to get him this window.

Hull are on a one in , one out embargo arent they? If they sold Hughes they would need to loan or buy someone much cheaper. Cant see it until the summer myself, despite them needing the money due to their current elevated position. Unless they take Lati as part ex 
Thats not a bad suggestion. It would be really nice to go for it and get him this windowHull are on a one in , one out embargo arent they?

Hull turned down a lot more than that in the summer, they are in the play offs why would they sell for £10m now?
He looks to have been instructed to hold the centre forward position (even though we all know that a lot of his strength has been picking the ball up on the wings and driving at the defence). If he stays in the centre forward position, yet the ball is passed to him only a couple of times in the whole game, it's hardly any wonder he looks ineffectual. I didn't see a single pass to him last night played through the lines to him where he would be facing their goal. I think the fault is the system rather than him (which they won't change, as they're clear at the top).

If Vik and Son don’t get announced today I’ll be fuming
Think he mentioned how Arsenal played when they battered Sporting away convinced him he wanted to join them. But an Away Champions League performance isn't the blueprint for how a team usually plays.
I would imagine if we do see another it would be more a defensive or box to box type midfielder in the 6/8 mould.
For attacking midfield we now have Rudi and BTA who arguably has played his best football this year in the 10 due to come back soon. Add to that Esse who has been playing this season at 10 (lower level yes) it seems we are well stocked.
Apparently Vik is a goer my friend just seen him getting his hair done in Leamington Gus was waiting to have his done as he well.
Maybe a double signing announcement?

On a Perm?
Vik and hamer have booth booked tonight in fizzy moon. Can’t be a co incidence
Frank Onyeka has been playing well for Nigeria at Afcon but only played 6 times for Brentford this year. Played 31 times in the bundesliga for Ausburg on loan last season. Box to box/ defensive midfielder, could be shout.
I agree i also think Victor is suffering from player jealousy as well! He has received two passes to him the box in the last two games even then it was backs0
to goal and not down his left hand side? And yet when Jesus comes on as a replacement I counted at least 6 passes to him.
To be fair, Jesus does take up positions where he is more likely to get the ball in this Arsenal team than Vik does. It's as said by others a case of him just not suiting this Arsenal team yet and he not yet or at all being able to adapt to the Arsenal system due to it not suiting his strengths.
According to a Palace supporting mate, Esse is not part of Glassner's plans. That implies he does not view him as potentially Prem standard.
So, two things: he's a loan and to a championship club so that doesn't matter. Secondly Frank's proven ability to improve players may yet prove Glassner wrong.
Or he doesnt fit his system
