Posters seem to forget why Hull were embargoed in the first place. Their owner publicly admitted at the end of the season that they will likely need to sell first team players to ease the financial burden of their soaring wage bill, with him also encouraging external investment. To sum up...

Wouldn't say that's necessarily the case. We wouldn't continually put bids in for the mere sake of it.

Not really. I suspect we're hoping it tempts him to force a move. Don't try don't get.

This debate is getting very boring now. He's scored 8 in over 50 apps since then. And his overaell performances and demeanour on the pitch have been unacceptable. I'd suggest that's a more accurate reflection of his actual ability rather than a temporary hot spell, which as proven dozens upon...

Even more so when they give zero coverage to Coventry Rugby Club. Disgraceful really.

I do find it a bit odd that we haven't loaned Obikwu yet. You'd think he'd have takers. Makes me wonder if we're waiting for something to land first.

Their sole focus at the minute seems to be to use the window to rid themselves of their high earners and reduce the wage bill rather than bring anyone in. Pushing PSR to one side, running the club has clearly become unmanageable for King Power who have issues of their own. It is now seemingly...

Looking briefly at what they reportedly pay for players I think we can file that under never happening.

He definitely doesn't. Given the fee we paid he's been a bad signing. He doesn't really have any redeeming qualities, has shown nothing to really suggest he'd ever make it at this leve and thinks he's considerably better than he is. A bad mix for a footballer. The above is compounded...

I'd quite like to see Perry get another loan. I know it was only pre-season but he showed some impressive signs. I would've thought we're waiting on a CB to come in before we let him go out.

Said last night we really need to avoid conceding set pieces. They were proficient at them last season - think they scored over 20 across the season if memory serves.

Need to make sure we don't concede too many set pieces.

It's a tough situation to be in. I still think a PL club would need to meet their valuation, but realistically they'd hardly struggle if they were keen to land him. I do wonder whether Azaz wanted out as well. Boro fans seem to think he did.

Not sure. While he clearly has his eyes set on a PL move, hence why talks with Ipswich probably broke down, Boro wouldn't be able to feasibly replace at this late stage which would surely incentivise them to dig their heels in. Then again the PL club would know they'd have an unhappy player on...

I would imagine that's why it's been leaked to the press. It's a 'come and get me' plea.

To make matters worse it's reported Hackney has demanded to move if a PL club comes in for him. Although I'd imagine Boro will dig their heels in though on that and would likely take a monstrous fee.

The point is he's fine at giving very broad analyses of club finances - arguably more in the PL - but that's probably where it ends. The chap that heads up my accountant's firm is exactly the same, not one for detail at all. He's clearly very qualified, but he's far from being the football...

Even Swiss Ramble gets bits wrong but if you compare his content to Maguire it genuinely is chalk and cheese in terms of depth of knowledge. Maguire is competent at marketing himself and found a niche in the media where he is able to apply rudimentary financial analyses to an industry whose...

So one journalist claims... You have to wonder if they actually have, or whether that's a tactic to put themselves in a more favourable negotiating position in an attempt to up the fee given how many PL clubs are seemingly desperate for attacking midfielders and are actively looking at El...

There are legitimately dozens upon dozens of examples of strikers who have had one respectable season and done absolutely nothing else for their entire career afterwards. If you're going to die on any sword don't let it be for Ellis Simms.
