Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (272 Viewers)

[Ccfcisparks]

People made their minds up on Kitching the day we signed him. Pointless arguing with these people

He's a good defender, and his passing through the lines and carrying of the ball been crucial and paid dividends already this year.

I've said previously, it wouldn't surprise me to see a back 3 played at times if we signed Hughes

How does it work if we offer Hull players in a swap? Are they able to do that. I know they can only sign loans and free’s

It may be the case that we would have to pay off the players and make them free agents. This would include end of contract loyalty bonuses, which are generally around a year's salary.

Even if Hull are allowed to accept contracted players as part of a deal, the players would still expect a pay off from us.

Do people think Kitching is shit?! Daft.

 

[Matt smith]

Hughes would give us flexibility in our backline. He’s clearly an upgrade on both of them, so can see them being rotated around him or for example Thomas coming on when we need a goal

An 8 million pound Centre back coming on if we need a goal

fucking love it hahahaha

Is he an 8 million pound CB?

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

12 million is the rumour for a defender have we gone mad.How are we likely to pay for this selling MVE maybe.But if he doesn't move where is the money coming from.

How did we pay for the stadium? Transfers these days are rarely stumped upfront.

Don’t worry about the back and forth bud. Happy to have the civilised debate!

I would think that surely the club could look at their budget, set their thoughts out and with Austin look to scout players who haven’t played at championship level, but could be developed and improve our depth. Surely it’s possible to say this is what we have, who would be the best two players we could find at that range and have further potential?

Personally, I think we've moved on from here as a club. As a lower championship team and as a team looking to push towards the play-offs, finding lower league gems cheap and improving them was a good model.

However, as a team that is now looking at promotion, not play-offs or there or there abouts, actual promotion, we need to find the better players from teams below us in our league. That have experience of winning games in this league and can improve us. Matt Grimes being the perfect example. Not only then are we bringing g in experience, but were sending a message to others that we're now a serious club.

Granted, if a great looking player like Rudoni is in L1 and we can, then why not. But even then, he wasnt a "cheap" buy at £5m or whatever it was. Matt Grimes was actually cheaper when you look at it that way. And Grimes hit the ground running, Rudoni took half a season to show what he was actually capable of doing.

I'm delighted we've now joined the dick swinging contests at the top of this league.. We're a promotion away from being those deluded cunts like Bournemouth were...

I for one cannot wait!

Who Bobby? Well clearly

 

[eastcj04]

I love that we have hit the point where we go from desperate cries of ‘if we don’t buy a quality CB we aren’t going up’ to ‘we can’t spend that much on a CB’.

Hey Siri: find me a quality, top 5 CB in the league but also make sure we don’t spend any real money.

Well I hadn't but then I've seen him play for two seasons and he has the same weaknesses throughout.

Poor on the turn, rash, slow, out of position.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Who Bobby? Well clearly

Based on?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Because of the underlying reason for the embargo which is cash flow

And debt

 

[CCFC96]

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

Well-run financially stable clubs don’t tend to be put under multiple window transfer embargo’s so I don’t know why we’re all assuming Hull can afford to just reject 8 figure fees for someone when the club could be in L1 next season.

 

[Matt smith]

Based on?

You’re telling me if we sold Bobby Thomas in today’s market it would be for under 8 million

I’m not saying I agree with it, I’m more suggesting the market is bonkers

oh ok so its based on nothing

I mean if you want Bobby Thomas biggest strength it’s the shear amount of shots he has. Hes was top of the championship last year for this for CB.

Kitching for me has started this season better and is our current on pitch captain. I’d start him and Hughes.

 

[eastcj04]

If we were buying a centre half for £3m from Belgium, everyone would be up in arms: ‘is he even any good?’ ‘We needed better than that’ ‘come on Doug stop being stingy’.

English, Championship pedigree, early 20’s for 10m: ‘way too much’ ‘waste of money’.

What are you on about?

He’s a good championship Centre half

with supposed premier league interest

To be fair the club has been run well for a while now. Considering we have spent around £15 million on players since Doug has come in per window is it that concerning?

My worry is we can’t make the deal happen in time

wheres the £8m valuation come from?

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

wheres the £8m valuation come from?

I assume the Sheffield United bid (which was only £5 million unless I’m wrong)

 

[Matt smith]

Well a team bid around 8 for him didn’t they?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

No it was £5m

That's what Hull said doesn't mean it is correct. They are just trying to get as much money for him when he eventually m

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Super fan Anthony Hornsby thinks we should avoid Hughes for £12m and scour the european market for a £5m player instead.

 

[covcity4life]

If this is true, then why would Hull sell?

I'm not sure they will

[procdoc]

When Hughes has a shaky debut the usual suspects will call him a waste of money

 

[Saddlebrains]

One nugget of info i have, is that the Thomas rumours have come from him wanting a new contract.

Hes seen the 2 midfielders (yes Sheaf is one) get an extension, he wants the same. Agents put the feelers out for him basically, but dont expext anything to actually come of it. He should stay here

 

[TomRad85]

Won't keep those that want to go... the door just opened.

So it was all agent talk as expected. Thought so.

 

[JSL]

Imagine if you were Kitching or Thomas and all the talk of Hughes possibly coming in. Would you raise your game to make sure you keep your place or wilt? Admittedly we need another CH but this is could be a positive thing for performance enhancement of what we have too.
