Transfer Rumour Charlie Hughes (34 Viewers)

[Bigelvesy]

Gotta be honest and say i thought thomas and Kitching both looked more than capable in the two friendlies at the arena last week, and once they were the clear established centre back partnership last season they flourished.
The constant chopping and changing at the start of last year i believe had a big impact on making any of the 4 CBs look shite. I think its a position where that trust and understanding is really key and thats only developed over time.
I totally see the need for a new CB to reinforce the position, im really interested that its an expensive younger signing we’re looking at though.

I don’t think it’s either or ….

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

In the game at the MKM i genuinely thought Gelhardt was awful

I’ve seen him play against us for Sunderland, Leeds and Hull and was deeply unimpressed each time.

 

[Skyblue_CP]

All this 20m talk, I can’t imagine we would be going back in with a second bid if we didn’t receive a little tempt from Hull.

7 M. plus we’ll take Kasey back?

£20m is laughable and it came from their manger who just made a figure up in an interview.

It’s a bit of a weird one really. I would imagine the story is coming from our side given how quickly the Hull local journo was out to say he’s not for sale (fancy that eh, having a local journo who actually reports on the club) but equally not sure we’d necessarily want it out there that we have the money to be throwing around £7.5m bids. You’d think we also wouldn’t go back in for a second bid unless we thought there was a chance of getting it done, but equally going public with the interest may be a tactic to try and unsettle the player a bit and force Hull’s hand. Either way I don’t see it being done until after Saturday so will be interesting to see if he starts.

Their fans on X are taking it as gospel

I think Hull leaked it to trigger a bidding war

No thanks

 

[SleepyGinger]

I really hope we get this one over the line

 

[procdoc]

Would be a statement signing for sure

A fair point and something I hadn’t really considered. I imagine Selles will be quite keen and Sheffield United have a big hole to fill at the back.

They can offer him more wages too

 

[SleepyGinger]

Sheff Utd chasing Ben Godfrey, would they want both?

 

[Super Graham Withey]

A more realistic target is Di’Shon Bernard at Sheffield Wednesday.

Who for, Sheffield UTD?

 

[Super Graham Withey]

Don’t rule out Sheff Utd coming in for Bobby Thomas

 

[fernandopartridge]

Unless Cov are pursuing Doyle and have leaked this to show Man City other irons in the fire

 

[Matt smith]

Thought this

Oh, secrets, don't sell to your competitors.

Their fans on X are taking it as gospel

Seen one guy say :

"He's not for sale what do Coventry not understand"

And another said :

"It's 20 million or nothing!"

Alright calm down lads didn't realise both of you were at board level, we will leave it then don't want to upset you anymore! fucking melts

 

[Cally Fedora]

Crikey. Getting a centre half now seems to resemble something out of The Ipcress Files.

 

[Perryccfc]

Unless Cov are pursuing Doyle and have leaked this to show Man City other irons in the fire

I really doubt City would give a toss.

 

[SBAndy]

Hughes signs to play RCB, Doyle comes in as (another) LB. We win every game without conceding.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

It'd be strange if we signed another player the same week we were due to play them, happened with Grimes earlier this year didn't it

Loved that…”you sold your star to super Frank Lampard..”.

 

[CovRes]

A more realistic target is Di’Shon Bernard at Sheffield Wednesday.

Injured. And the thug that broke Allen's cheekbone.

Hopefully this prick is in charge of negotiations and we get the freebie of the summer!

 

[CCFC86]

Don’t know much about this lad but a CB is definitely what we need. Imagine if kitching or Thomas get injured

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Hopefully this prick is in charge of negotiations and we get the freebie of the summer!

Yeah I agree! Let's go with getting him for nothing then we can go after Doyle then I'd love us to sign him, not just because he's highly rated but the melt down from their end will be on par with brum fans finding out a player has rejected them and not interested in 'the project' lol

The rumour I heard in late June. But I’m not remotely ITK and neither was the person who told me.

Ask for £10m, rob them blind. Sign Hughes and Doyle

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

Really can’t remember this Hughes guy, is he actually any good? £6-7m seems like a fair amount for a Hull player

 

[shmmeee]

Didn’t they also enquire about Kitching last Jan?
