We buy on the data, not reputation. it worked with Hamer, Saka, Thomas, Pitching ..... No reason to think it won't work with this new chap.

He seems to have acquired this reputation for being tight but there's no real evidence for it

Notts won't go for that.

You're right but all 3 were done fairly quickly after the news leaked. I expect this window will be similar. Players we've never heard of and next to no speculation for undisclosed fees.

Probably just a habit

Nah they've done it before with other players

That's a fair point actually, I was thinking he was free to talk to.other English teams now but its only teams abroad isn't it. By then it will be a lot clearer what our prospects are

No pressure on Sporting to sell, I can't see him going anywhere until the summer at the very earliest

There's some logic in what you're saying but Hull aren't just signing Liverpool players, they are loaning a Liverpool player with a lot of baggage and a bad rep. I'd also add that all of our recent success has come via lower league players stepping up or from largely unknown signings from abroad

We'd sell a few shirts 🤷‍♂️

He only started 1 game for Leipzig.

I'd take him but can't help thinking it would have been done already if we were interested

Id imagine that when you're used to Liverpool, a loan to Hull is a pretty stark wake up call. Sink or swim

He's certainly got loads of experience, was Stoke captain until fairly recently

44 appearances for Stoke last season and no significant injuries that I can find any mention of? He's made 230 odd senior appearances (most of them on his myriad of loan spells from Chelsea) and is only 28

Obviously he'd get a wage increase, I thought that was implied

upping his wage massively while still having his pick of what to do in the summer, seems sensible to me.

I'm sure it does but with the transfer window open and all 👀👀

Christ alive, have we learnt nothing from the summer? We have no evidence at all that Callum is off and yet we are still in meltdown. Have a bloody day off

Completely agree. This is why I was suggesting on the other thread that we should stick a 1 year extension in front of him with a promise not to stand in his way if we don't go up.
