Transfer Rumour Charlie Hughes (73 Viewers)

[SBT]

Whether or not it comes off or whether it offers value for money if it does, I’m at least happy that Lampard has identified it’s the back line and not the forwards that are most in need of big investment.

Wheres the finance now from then?

Dealings?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Dealings?

Wheres £8m come from?

Wheres £8m come from?

Apparantly we had a bid of £5m turned down for Cushworth...so its maybe that plus..

 

[Jamesimus]

Jesus now fans are worried that we are being too ambitious…. You couldn’t make it up

“Doug spend some money! NO NOT THAT MUCH FFS!”

 

[wingy]

Anyway it's time to flick the switch and get off the negative vibes we're giving off and blindly back the team no matter who they are.

So it looks like we need the love child of Hughes and Doyle to have a super CB.

Sky reporting we’ve had a £7m offer rejected??!

This is the problem, we may have money to spend on a player but do they want to sell and does the player want to sign for us.

I’d like to think that anyone would rather play for us than play for Hull

This is where football is at and where it is going now, clubs spending bigger amounts on players, stretching payments over many years. Blackpool are about to sign someone for 1m, they are mid table league one! Derby and spending a lot all of a sudden. 10m in the grand scheme of things isn't big money.

We'll come back to you on that one at 3pm saturday

hoping simms tears him a new one

We have to look at it as an appreciating asset...the scouting department is key..Its our model. Doesnt matfer what price. If hes going to be worth £20m plus in a year or 2.

I would be over the moon with this.

Doubt we wouldn’t have had contact with the agent first to confirm player interest . Probably the agent who’s leaked all the information

 

[Saddlebrains]

More chance of resigning Stephen Hughes

 

[covcity4life]

It's a massive fee but the club prob know if we dont get promoted in next 2 years his development will take him to the premier league anyway for probably double the price minimum so in a way it's not that big a risk barring big injury.

 

[JSL]

All that he has to do is hand in a transfer request now he knows the might CCFC and Lampard want him

Handjobs all round if he signs then?

You’re being very negative lately, what’s the matter

Lately?

It's doesnt matter as much to be left footed in a back 4.

I would say it does matter as both fullbacks play really high in possession, the two CBs tend to split and Grimes drops into the middle. The pass from Kitching to BTA which put him though can only be played by a left footer.

I still have memories of Rose looking really uncomfortable playing left CB, and when Lati has covered on the left he's constantly had to cut back and play to Thomas

 

[stupot07]

We arent paying £10m for a centre back

So it seems Hughes can play both sides. Genuinely wouldn’t shock me if he’s earmarked to play alongside Kitching.

That makes more sense, Thomas's distribution is terrible.

No point discussing we aren't spending that sort of money on a CB

 

[CovLad94]

No doubt he'll score on Saturday now

 

[SkyBlue_Adam]

Don’t think Lampard will throw him in the weekend

 

[Balli001]

He had to wait a week for his shirt

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Hope not - they’ll want £25m

 

[rob9872]

That makes more sense, Thomas's distribution is terrible.

But he defends well, wins it in the air, has pace and scores goals. Still only 23 too, so improvement in him. Bit of a warrior type too with last ditch blocks. Other areas to upgrade ahead of Bobby.

I don't disagree.

Sky Sports are currently reporting we have bid £7m, rejected and “it’s understood” we will be going back with an improved offer

Coventry 'considering' record bid' after £7m deal 'rejected' for Charlie Hughes

It was more poking fun at him instantly disputing we would spend £10m then discussing how he would fit in the team

 

[rob9872]

I'm more surprised we're not linked with a CF. Lampard clearly didn't trust Simms in our biggest two games after a horrific run of form. I don't see what's changed and expected him gone, yet he appears to be in the plans again.
