Transfer Rumour Charlie Hughes (131 Viewers)

[Liquid Gold]

Nice to have a rumour at least

[Sky Blue Goblin]

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.

Finding a club for him for the amount both the player and club would want is more difficult.

The issue is moving on simms or BTA? Cant keep stockpiling CFs.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

They say record bid - was Haji more? £9m?

 

[Evo1883]

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

Have a sense that hull have given us a figure and a deal isnt too far away

 

[stupot07]

He's played 44 games in league one and 47 games in the championship. £7m+ is

 

[TomRad85]

Yep, if we were told that £20 million bollocks we wouldn't be considering going back would we.

 

[Calista]

They are surprisingly precise in saying 'beating the £7.7m the club paid for Haji Wright in August 2023'

It’s very much left open… not like we’ve been told NO

Some Hull fans seem to think hes better than greaves and will definitely be in the prem at some point

I just saw the headline on SSN...no more detail than that, hence asking the question.

 

[PVA]

This is my thinking too..

Hull can give it the 'Charlie made it clear he wanted to leave' thing to justify taking less than what they've said previously.

 

[fernandopartridge]

I was wondering how the choreography works. How many transfers that go public like this end up happening? Assume it's quite high.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

We’ve definitely got some encouragement from Hull if we are going to try a second bid.

Imagine if it was the twenty million, we would just turn around and say bugger off rather than wasting our and there time with another bid of just under ten million

 

[JSL]

Well rest assured I doubt Sheffield United will stump up that much. Whilst Hull are under transfer embargo you would think they would snap our hand off

 

[SkyB]

Yep, if we were told that £20 million bollocks we wouldn't be considering going back would we.

Dangerous game to be throwing round those types of figures when it looks like we're keen to throw a substantial amount at this transfer. I could never see us spending £20m on him but 8 rising to 11/12 for a player they signed for 3.5 12 months ago would be hard to turn down for any club for a CB.

If they sell for less than £20m it erodes trust between the fans and the hierarchy

 

[Woodster]

Reminds me of the dance we played to get Kitching. This is probably one which goes to the final week.

 

[Saddlebrains]

I dont see why we dont go after Doyle if we're willing to spend cash like that on a CB

The owner isn't that popular with Hull fans ,so I doubt if he would care too much about the fans .

 

[quinn1971]

We’re fixing the problems from last season, even if we don’t get a forward in there’s enough goals in that team, tighten up at the back and we’ll be fine, every good teams strong through the middle, rushworth, possibly the new lad, grimes & wright. That’s decent

 

[wingy]

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.

I fear your right but we have to max out in our dealings IE MVE IF WE'RE GOING maintain a balance,we don't want to be blaze about things.

 

[quinn1971]

I dont see why we dont go after Doyle if we're willing to spend cash like that on a CB

maybe we’ve looked at Doyle but this lads just as good but quicker ? It’s what we need

 

[wingy]

€ I think with the add ons.

 

[Kingokings204]

I dont see why we dont go after Doyle if we're willing to spend cash like that on a CB

maybe they have access to all the data and who is more likely to go on to bigger things?
We all like Doyle here but if he is 9m and only ever going to be a championship cb then maybe this is a better bet.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

maybe we’ve looked at Doyle but this lads just as good but quicker ? It’s what we need

Apparently he's slower than Doyle

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Whilst Hull are under transfer embargo you would think they would snap our hand off

If anything, I think it would be the opposite.

if they can't bring anyone in, you wouldn't want to lose someone as you can't replace them?

 

[wingy]

He looks more of defensive by the look of his stats.

 

[Chicken Mcgraw]

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Maybe Lampard prefers Hughes. Could just be that simple.

 

[Bigelvesy]

Wage demands?

 

[wingy]

Isn't there an appeal later today or is that Sheffield?

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

Well rest assured I doubt Sheffield United will stump up that much. Whilst Hull are under transfer embargo you would think they would snap our hand off

Their appeal is today isn’t it? Being under an embargo means that they can’t reinvest transfer outgoings on new players which mean they may not see the urgency in selling the family silver just yet.

[ClarkeZ]

I can't decide what would be better business, Doyle for £10m or Hughes for £8m, or if spending that much at CB is the right decision regardless.

Maybe we're just at a point where thats the fee required for the quality to actually change our defence. Which is needed.

If it happens I just hope there are enough pennies left for a RW reinforcement.
