    Statement signings if we go up?

    Yes but how do you structure it. King has to scenario plan 4-5 years in advance. So you’ve got to attract a high profile name but with an inevitable fall off in pay if we go down. Even the most optimistic fan has to consider that is a possibility. I agree it would be a statement signing but it’s...

    Summer transfer rumours

    And the year after? And after that. Thankfully we obviously have a financially astute owner who will plan long term rather than 1 season.

    But indulge me. Structure the Robertson transfer deal for me

    Of course it has a bearing. It’s a significant outgoing.

    Statement signings if we go up?

    These sorts of names are pie in the sky. What do you offer him? He’s probably clearing 60-70 grand a week. Our ceiling is currently what? 15k? So you’d have to say “Hello Andy, can you take £25k a week dropping to £15 if we go down?

    Summer transfer rumours

    Of course it’s relevant. If it isn’t I want that mortgage deal. You don’t think if you’re creating a budget that will include 3-4 year contract commitments you don’t have to factor in hefty repayments each year?

    Summer transfer rumours

    Clueless as usual. So it doesn’t have to be repaid just because it’s mortgaged?? It does. It’s interest bearing. So when you are making plans you now have to factor a massive chunk of outgoing over a period of time. That correlates to what you can therefore spend.

    Summer transfer rumours

    This thread is scary. How much cash do some think we’ll have!! We make losses. We’ve just spaffed £50m on a stadium. King is very savvy - look at the fantastically small amount we gave to agents. I think he’ll look for bargains rather than dropping millions on it.

    Summer transfer rumours

    Where was Lati when Thomas and Kitching started. Who has started more games? Who was made captain? Does Lampard rate Simms higher than Wright if he happens to start? Does he rate Esse higher than Mason-Clarke. It’s a nonsense argument.

    Summer transfer rumours

    Of course he doesn’t. Lati came in after Lampard had continually played Thomas and Kitching.

    Transfer Rumour Frank Onyeka

    Disagree. We bought him for that. He’s now played at a higher level and as part of a team that will be promoted.

    Summer transfer rumours

    Look at it logically. We simply can’t afford to rebuild the squad in one window. Kitching is obviously, if not the best, our second best CH. I don’t think anyone could seriously rate Woolf or Lati above him. So it’s extremely likely that he stays. No one is saying he’s prime Maldini but he’s in...

    Transfer Rumour Frank Onyeka

    Bear in mind Hughes was being talked about in the 10-15m bracket. Kitching has to be 6-8. But for me he’s our best defender so I don’t think we’ll be selling anyway.

    Summer transfer rumours

    Can’t see Kitching going anywhere. I rate him as probably our best centre half.

    Hull Player Ratings

    Yes, in the case of Torp it was specifically about free kicks directly at goal. Not corners or free kick delivery from non scoring distance.

    Hull Player Ratings

    His set piece record is a bit like his overall play. He got one good one this season, took a load after that, and didn’t do anything with them.

    You have him playing an active part in the prem squad then?

    Victor Torp

    For me it’s not his physicality as much as his speed. We broke on Hull at one point in the first half but he was so slow running and deciding what to do it fizzled out. Just one example - he’s just not quick or mobile

    Things change based on being in the prem. wouldn’t be surprised if Markhelo went out on loan
