Can we sign Hughes , sincerely hope so .
Can we get Woolfenden as well ?
Does this mean MvE is leaving and Lati becomes back up for KKH?

Wowzers

It’s a strange few days as no doubt we need strengthening. Funds wise, is there an element of, well players such as Rudoni and Torp (if he can continue his form) their fee will no doubt be well up on what we paid for them. If we splash out now to try and help us in our promotion and fail, we will lose some of our bigger players such as Rudoni anyway and still have a blanket of funds. So is this a way of really giving it a go?

Feels like the payoff will be MvE leaving ?
Would be amazing to get both though

Just as a whole on the squad the one glaring weakness is centre back . Beyond that we can wish for other areas to be strengthened .
Squad come Tuesday ..
Dovin, Rushworth , Wilson
KKH , Lati
Brau, JdS
Kitching , Woolfenden , Thomas , Hughes
Grimes , Sheaf , Eccles , Allen ,Andrews
Torp ,Rudoni
BTA, EMC ,Wright ,Simms ,Saka, Rapha

Plus a loanee ?

A full 25 man squad

I think that's where Lati will cover ?
KKH played a similar amount of games as MvE last season.

Andrews is an U21, so that would be a 23 man squad. Room, wage bill permitting, for 2 more.

In the recruitment team at Liverpool they talk about “unicorn” footballers - those who are worth paying above your spending brackets as they drastically improve your team - e.g. Alisson & van Dijk

We clearly see Hughes in a similar mould & probably agree with Hull that he’ll likely be worth £20m in a year or two

Surely he’ll be worth more after a season with us than relegation fighting hull ?

Transfermarkt has Godo worth €600k

It says apparently Strasbourg have bid €7m for him.

Only signed from Margate FC three years ago and played 34 games for Wigan.

Let Strasbourg take this one.

Really wonder what our bid was which they were considering depending if they got a player in

Got to laugh at our fans turning their nose up at Godo. Off to a very smart football club playing in Europe for €7m.

I know of another player the same. Very good player who spent most of his career at Swansea. Had a few offers over the years but was very happy at Swansea until Lampard let him know he would like to sign him. He then didn't play again until the transfer was completed.

May have been because the club made it be known his salary would go up by a large amount. As for Hughes I'd be surprised if this deal happens.

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

We'd have to get promoted to justify it.
Click to expand...
Which is what the idea is.

We paid about £3.5m for Grimes when he was coming up to 30 years old. That was said by some to be a waste of money but has been worth every penny. Signing Hughes for up to 4x the amount sounds a lot but you would end up with a sellable asset and most probably get the fee back plus more.

He was already on a good wage. One of the reasons he was happy at Swansea. We wouldn't have broken our wage structure for him.

Any Hughes deal could go either way. They're in financial difficulties after taking a big gamble mid season to get promoted and failing miserably. They need both the player and the money. On an educated guess I would say he will play the last game for them this weekend then a deal will be done if we've offered enough....unless Woolfenden is prised from Ipswich before then.

The biggest surprise for me would be if we didn't bring in at least a CB by Monday evening.

Well that’s the thing for me. He’s not “clearly” going to get better. Hopefully he will, but it’s certainly not clear cut!

21 years old and club captain at his last 2 clubs.

If a player can continue improving at a club like Hull imagine how much he could continue to improve with Lampard and his team playing at the top end of the table. There's a lot more chance of him continuing to improve surrounded by good players than suddenly regressing.

It would be for me if we don't bring a central defender in because the back ups are Lati( no idea when he will be fit) and

It would be for me too as our back up would be Lati ( no idea when he will be fit) and a Jake Bidwell.

Sounds to me like we had committed to spending on Woolfeden & Goddo. Strasbourg have offered silly money so we have decided to go all in for Hughes. I think we end up with Hughes & a prem loan for the forward, we’re at that point in the window where clubs will consider loans for players they wanted to sell - e.g. Sarmiento at Brighton

Transfer fees seem to have shot up again right across European leagues especially.

Seems like perhaps a 3 rd bid of £10 million has been turned down.

£12 million plus £3 million in add-ons or £25 million plus Collins.

Hull fans thinking this isn't going to happen seem to be completely unaware of the trajectories of both clubs atm.
Time to put these in their place like we did with the Swansea lot still seething about Grimes.

Don't think Swansea were under a transfer embargo ,so why sell your best defender when all you can bring in is free transfers.
