I remember Darragh MacAnthony the Posh Chairman talking about Doug and the EMC deal, saying along the lines of him being very insistent and sorta hounding him, basically if Doug wants something hell push and push till he gets it, so he's obviously pushing and will get Hughes

4 days left now. May as well dream that our deals aren't sewn up because they are unbelievably brilliant rather than they just don't exist.
Choosing positivity up until 7pm Monday.

I think the fact we seem willing to break our transfer record twice in a couple of seasons , aswell as purchasing the stadium shows that the owner Doug King is as ambitious for premier league football as youd have ever hoped your owner would be .. its all very positive, even if we fail to sign hughes you can see the ambition is there

I thought the Godo fee might be something like £2.5m. That’s a hell of a lot of money for a guy whose only experience is in league one.

£12m or above like I'm seeing for Hughes is pretty nuts. Makes me a bit uneasy.

If he signs for us the fee is going to be 'undisclosed'.

It feels too much but he is a young home grown player and they attract top dollar as they say. would be the same if we sold him in that we would be asking for a high price

Its difficult to say. If we had a young player considered one of the best young talents in the division then we'd want it. We're just not used to being the ones paying it.
For me the only thing bothering me is Woolfenden is clearly option number 2 but we could go all in on Hughes and end up with neither.

We are at the stage now where we are bidding £12m for Hughes we might as well just go all in and pay the £15m or so they want.

He's clearly the ultimate target.

Or Ipswich realise we are looking at other players and lower their demand to us as they want to cash in perhaps?

Based on the Hull Forum our latest bid was £10M with the view that we will go back in with a £12M bid.

He's an exciting target because he's the sort you could take up to the Prem with you and potentially not have to immediately punt him out the team. The more of those you have, the better.

Really don't think doubling our transfer record on a CB is worth it

We'd have to get promoted to justify it.

Getting worried if this doesn’t pay off, we could end up with no CB in this window

The fees being touted seems a bit mad but if it's considered the final piece of the jigsaw we have to pay the piper.
