Fans concerned that King may be over reaching on the spends. That is progress. What a job this guy has done. Single handedly too. His vision.
& its his first rodeo too !

No, I don't know him ; never spoken to him.
Just in awe of the way he has our club ticking.

Can't wait for Saturday.

Pretty sure that's what Hull paid for him as well, facebook marketplace behaviour from DK

Well this is the counter argument.


Who would rather spend 4-5m on an established experienced champ CB?

He is 21 and English. If he spent a season with us and we finished in the top 6 with him being one of our better players he'd easily be worth £10m+

Awful lot of assumptions in there that are by no means certain. Which was my point.

I think we need to forget about this one. Sounds a no go and whoever gets him will end up paying silly money. Nice to know we have these types of funds though!

So two bids being reported by Hull live, I reckon Douglas will go in with a third offer, did the same with Grimes, maybe we will hear some news later today if we have and been accepted or not

doubt we’d be bidding if we didn’t get a prompt or push too

This player will know exactly what's the offer for him on the table and through his agent would of said he wants the move. From that point he stays quiet and let's the owners battle it out. It's nothing new or not known. Owners don't waste time on chasing lost causes, may not workout but Doug will know this is about finding the right price.

Get it’s a bold statement, but if we sell Milan Binks has gone and we offload say one more that takes us to around 10 million in sales

I’d like to think we’d spend a further 5 million on what we bring in

So a house is valued at 1 million you don't automatically pay the full asking price why would you if you can get it cheaper. MVE is valued at 10 million but we are taking about 6 if rumours are true.

The fact we then almost doubled the bid straight away suggests we were taking the piss with our first offer

Imagine it was more testing the waters to work out what their acceptable amount was. Then the second one testing how close we could go without meeting it

I only remember him for throwing a wobbly down the tunnel or changing rooms at HT. Or so was said at the time. Didn’t Leon Best do the same at some point as well?

That's the way you do it! Need to get Simms up and scoring so we have destabilised Hughes and Hull just before we play them. Master Stroke Dougie boy!

Imagine the next offer would be closer to £10 million.

Seem to be very interested and would be a very good signing even for the £10 mil mark. Has the potential and attributes to become a top player in the future.
