Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (285 Viewers)

[Ccfcisparks]

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.

If they wilt they aren't the sort of character we need at this club.

So I take it the Wolfenden deal is off

I hope that they’d think they’re better than him.

Me too, the optimist in me believes we will get both

Me too.
Although I’ve never knowingly seen Woolfenden play.

Played against us in the Fa cup last year?

now that is optimistic!!

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

Genuinely been the longest transfer window everrrrr, so fucking bored of us going round in circles with these various targets

I'm assuming we've left the Woolf tied up outside the shops while we wait for a final answer on Hughes.

Right, gotcha

That’s because you’re not used to us going after players that not only other clubs are desperate to keep, also other clubs want them too

 

[Evo1883]

Have we gone back in for Paulo malhughesy again yet ?

 

[Jamesimus]

Remember when Hull gambled on all those expensive loans to make the playoffs? That was crazy.

 

[Platnauer]

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

We are not playing a back three in any game where Grimes is on the field. Tactically/Positionally doesn't make sense.
If Grimes is injured? Sure, play your best team if that includes 3 CB.

I tend to agree

 

[David O'Day]

The owner or outside investment, it doesn't really matter. We're well within the spending rules. I suspect certain other clubs aren't.

Yeah we'll either get promoted and have massively increased income streams, King will cover the operating deficit, or we will be able to sell players next year for a lot mor ethan now i.e. Rudi who we all probably deep down know tha if he has a season like last season we won't be able to keep for a 3rd season.

 

[SHUNT31]

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

Called it at the time.

Correct. Although its more money, i just see Hughes as a continuation of what we've been doing. I think our playing squad has significantly more value than the recruitment made by Birmingham, for example.

I remember people going crazy that we weren’t doing the same. They were miles off the top 4 when they decided to do that, was always going to blow up in their faces.

Is this a suggestion us bidding big for Hughes’s is similar vibes? Or just a reflection on Hull’s madness

Remember when Forest got promoted with all those loans? And then they still stayed up? And finished in the Europa league spot last season?

I can see the pros and the cons for going ott with loan players. Its not always necessarily a bad thing. But, as Hull showed, can backfire.

Oh no, not at all similar. Just I imagine it contributed to their current financial issues!

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Sturm Graz have turned down a £2.6m bid from a french team for Boving. Girona also interested.

Mainz also had 2.5m euro offer rejected. Want 3m euros plus.

€3m plus...... Collins and Simms to sweeten the deal?

Haha oh yeh was gonna say. Sunderland would have been the same if they hadn’t gone up because they effectively took out a crazy high interest loan mid way through season which would have left them in the shit if they didn’t go up. Lucky for them!

I feel immensely reassured by DK’s approach. Buying stadium might sound reckless to some, but it’s not a pointless punt - it’s a smart commercial money making move. I think how we buy players is the same - he knows he won’t lose money on Hughes at £10m+.

This is the one we need to try and get over the line.

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

3 million plus Bassette on loan with an option to buy, we get a very good player they get a replacement and the option at the end to take him permanently, job done loverly jubbly

If you're sensible, the you realise that you need more quality players than you can get in a starting 11.

They both will want promotion, and will both back themselves to be good enough to be a big part of that. I'd expect them to welcome the squad being strengthened.

If we get a new centre half the quality of Hughes, all three would get significant minutes across the season.

 

[skybluecam]

How on earth can he know that

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Could we go back in for Hyam for a couple million instead of Hughes? That signing seems to be much more up Cam's street.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Hull fans think Hughes will leave. Reckon this will go to the wire on deadline day.
