Media outlets confirmed we had multiple bids for Hughes rejected yet Chris is in denial
Media outlets confirmed we had multiple bids for Hughes rejected yet Chris is in denialAnother argument won against Chris, get in!
How can you live on this forum and yet not have read anywhere about the Hughes bids ??Was there any actual proof that bid of that sum was made ? I honestly don't know.
Don't worry Chris it's good thing not be gullible! The way the transfer window plays in the press is all about advertising for them and the "facts" come second third and fourth.So one source which was reported as a bid believed to be in the region of £10M

In any protracted negotiation that I've been involved there will be an agreement between sides about what to say, if anything, in public. If one side is leaking through a press contact (truths, partial truths, incomplete pictures, complete BS) then it's likely to be for nefarious reasons. The public is being played and fans lap it all up.
Exactly, nothing will be said! Another approach is to an agree a short statement aong the lines of "talks are taking place and some progress is being made..."If you think clubs spend any time talking to each about how to respond to press comment on transfers then you don’t know the business side of football.

Local news is dead. Our main reporter is Andy Turner and he gets his rehashed stories from places like this. I imagine there will be stories on the Hull sites saying 'there must be something in it, their main reporter has said so'.Well that’s obviously circumstantial.
The sun gossip column for instance may be likely to peddle any old bollocks but Hull’s main reporter would not be reporting on 3 rejected bids if they were not real. Not to mention the fact the fans didn’t want to accept so it had absolutely no benefit to the noise surrounding the move whatsoever.

someone on this forum said Rapha was leaving well before turner didThe same Andy Turner who knew about Rapha leaving before any of us or any national media outlets or any supposed ITK’s had heard of?
You only have to look on Twitter to see Hull fans seem to believe what Baz writes so he is obviously credible.

No he explicitly said Rapha and got laughed atThink it was only one person who suggested it and we were all left guessing at 9pm who the outgoing was as no one seemed to have a clue. Most people seemed to suggest it was Bidwell going.
My overall point though is that the local media teams close each clubs will get given information directly. To suggest Baz at Hull is making these 3 bids up is just a bit strange.
Is he the old celebrity writer from the sun, genuine question?The same Andy Turner who knew about Rapha leaving before any of us or any national media outlets or any supposed ITK’s had heard of?

Would now be a good time to remind folk that Turkish sides can still sign players until Sept 12? We may not have quite heard the last of the MvE to Besiktas rumours.
CWR and Cov Telegraph get briefed by the club before an announcement is made so they can prepare their own articles. Very rarely do they have any exclusive reporting beyond thatThe same Andy Turner who knew about Rapha leaving before any of us or any national media outlets or any supposed ITK’s had heard of?

We might have done better to just wait for that instead of tracking 626 pages of fantasy on the transfer thread tbhCWR and Cov Telegraph get briefed by the club before an announcement is made so they can prepare their own articles. Very rarely do they have any exclusive reporting beyond that
You keep commenting on my posts looking for a ‘gotcha’ moment when you’ve failed to provide a viable alternative opinion. In other words, you’re a fucking idiotAh yes. Media outlets. Famed for accuracy and reliability.
I’m not reading all thatDidn't read this thread until now.
A couple of points.
Hughes before Woolfenden? Most probably down to price. Was our last bid 7m? Do we believe what we read on the supposed bids?
Money available? We will never know. Was Sheaf sold to pay for Hughes but they turned down our highest bid that came after the 7m bid? Was Sheaf sold in the hope of bringing in Woolfenden and another midfielder that failed? It's now known we've been after Woolfenden for a couple of months at least.
If anyone would have been told we would keep all of our best players and also purchase our own home whilst strengthening our defence with finally getting cover for MVE we would have been delighted. But after the event some would love you to think it's all gone wrong.
I'm very happy with where we are. We haven't spent millions on squad fillers. We've had a strong start with lots of goals. We've brought in a defender with experience of getting to the Prem and actually in the Prem that most of their supporters can't believe they sold so cheaply or even sold at all. His experience will help our present defenders.
And if we did have more money to spend we will still have it in a few months to strengthen as needed as we didn't waste it now.
Turner will have been toldThe same Andy Turner who knew about Rapha leaving before any of us or any national media outlets or any supposed ITK’s had heard of?

Should sign Oxlade in the mean timeDoug acknowledges the squad might be a little thin. Glad he recognises that and I suspect there will be players lined up for Jan. Quality players that is.

I liked his style, he is a good speaker and includes a little humour in between the serious points. Quite different in this relaxed and supportive atmosphere than when he is facing the press.Doug acknowledges the squad might be a little thin.
