Barnsley engaged in similar tactics before Kitching was allowed to leave. Who to be honest while he improved under FL, hasn’t particularly lived up to the fee.

Who to be honest while he improved under FL, hasn’t particularly lived up to the fee.It's been reported we're considering going back in with an improved offer, if 20 million was the case we wouldn't even bother, he maybe a 20 million player in the future but not now, he's highly rated and you know him better then me but he was in a relegation battle last year and was at Wigan I believe the year before that, so that figure to me is way off.
Doug, Frank and the team see potential in this lad so I trust in what their doing.
I don’t think we would.Do you think you’d accept a 8 million plus add ons bid?

Did we really bid for Rushworth ? There are reports a club did but doesn't mean we did.To make a CB our club record signing, he’d need to be the real deal and a few steps up from our current duo. Which he might well be tbf, I’m just still a little stunned at the amount we apparently bid for Rushworth and are now linked with here.
Not by a long way.Barnsley engaged in similar tactics before Kitching was allowed to leave. Who to be honest while he improved under FL, hasn’t particularly lived up to the fee.
Could possibly be agent whispers trying to get such a club to bid then.I don’t think we would.
While we could take a decent chunk out of our debt, realistically we could wait 12 months and take a much bigger chunk off it.
We got £15million (+£3 million add ons) from Ipswich for Greaves. Hughes just needs another season in the Championship to show his quality and I can see any of the 3 promoted clubs willing to pay at least this.
Class above what though? Because I dont think he’d even be our 3rd choice ST
Reminds me of the dance we played to get Kitching. This is probably one which goes to the final week.
He did improve under Lampard and tbf I like Kitch, aggressive and plays with fire in his belly, I hope we do pull off this transfer tho! I don't know Hughes like the Hull poster above does but I've heard he's highly rated, not just at hull, but amongst those who cover the EFL plus the Hull poster listed off his strengths and he sounds brilliantBarnsley engaged in similar tactics before Kitching was allowed to leave.

Greaves is a really good player I do like himI don’t think we would.

Kitching’s problem is his lack of speed and balance. I just find it difficult to believe we are seriously in for this chap even at this price.He did improve under Lampard and tbf I like Kitch, aggressive and plays with fire in his belly, I hope we do pull off this transfer tho!

Only Milan and Kaine ( not seen it yet but he's supposed to be rapid) I'm probably quicker then Kitch lol.Kitching’s problem is his lack of speed and balance. I just find it difficult to believe we are seriously in for this chap even at this price.
Also a risk of another season is he blows his ACL or achilles and that money is gone completely - or you go down and his value is halved etc. Understand the logic but not sure owners in football would think the same way about such a volatile asset!I don’t think we would.

Not always speed as well with the centre halves - people saying Hughes reads the game well which I think is another real issue in Kitching's game and why he gets consistently caught out by the ball over the top.Kitching’s problem is his lack of speed and balance.

In the game at the MKM i genuinely thought Gelhardt was awfulI can only speak for how Gelhardt played for us last season and he looked a class above. I get what you say based on his other loans though.
Cope harderAfternoon chaps and chapesses. Hull fan here - thought I’d give you my thoughts on Charlie Hughes.
Hughes will undoubtedly go on to be a Premier League footballer, he is that good. He’s just been made our captain since Coyle got injured and is destined to be a leader moving forward.
His biggest attributes are hard to single out because he is a beast in the air, strong in the tackle and reads the game really well. Surprisingly though, I think his best attributes are his composure on the ball, followed by his great range of passing.
It would be a major surprise if we sold him (despite our predicament) because I believe he will go for £15million plus at the end of the season. I think he is better than Greaves and will end up at a top 6 club (perhaps not in his next move but a Premier League stepping stone).
Conspiracy theories could include it being leaked from your end to unsettle the player, but also don’t rule out it coming from our end - somewhat of a coincidence that on the day we need to justify our finances to the EFL a £10million-ish asset is revealed.
The result of our hearing should be known by the end of the week (if it’s not leaked before) and selling right now makes no sense.
Our new manager in an hour long radio interview in the last couple of days said he is a £20million player and is simply not for sale - that was after the Sheff Utd interest. Selles obviously knows his worth but I honestly expect us to cash in next season.
The appeal was today and result expected in about 2 days.Someone on their forum said the hearing is today but result of it not until September?
I’m not especially convinced by the defensive capabilities of at least 3 of the back 4, which is understandable for a team that conceded awful goals for fun last season. I wouldn’t object to binning the lot off and starting over from scratch-clearly not realistic, just what I think about the defence in general.Not always speed as well with the centre halves - people saying Hughes reads the game well which I think is another real issue in Kitching's game and why he gets consistently caught out by the ball over the top.
Hull is miles away from DoncasterWages?????......... One is moving from one of the biggest clubs in the world, while the other is leaving a shithole near Doncaster.
it was @Levship20who was the poster who said to watch out for Cov activity involving West Brom ? Any updates on that ?
More reminiscent of a hyenaThe chap who sits next to me compares Kitching to a Rhino and I’ve always thought it’s very apt
I wonder if there was a centre back we were interested in?who was the poster who said to watch out for Cov activity involving West Brom ? Any updates on that ?
Could be Heggem if we're now shopping in the £8m region. Linked with Bologna thoughI wonder if there was a centre back we were interested in?
Would be interesting to see if they are a back up plan to Hughes/Doyle if we can't get a deal agreed with one or both of these names..
That the tip from @leviship?Could be Heggem if we're now shopping in the £8m region. Linked with Bologna though
I think we like Caleb Taylor … young tall centre half. Well regarded.I wonder if there was a centre back we were interested in?

Think I would prefer Hughes to him for the leadership vibes.I think we like Caleb Taylor … young tall centre half. Well regarded.
Lets have both thenThink I would prefer Hughes to him for the leadership vibes.
I don’t think it’s either or ….Think I would prefer Hughes to him for the leadership vibes.
We will probably end up with neither of them lolLets have both then
Just finished the bathroom tiling, got the S E A L I N G to do but I can't quite reach the top.
