Given that Jake was on the bench on Saturday it wouldn't surprise me if this transfer is Silva's choice and in that case I'm comfortable with it even though it means saying goodbye to a great and loyal servant to Hull City. No-one knows what the manager's grand plan is and who will fit into it, but he does seem to know exactly what he wants and you can't make an omelette without cracking eggs.
As others have said, lets wait until after the transfer window shuts and see what team we have then. I think it'll be better than the team we had before Silva joined us.
In order to sell we'll inevitably have to sell our better players. Will our better buys be better than our current better players? And so it goes.
but there are better out there. I know change is painful for some, but in order for us to progress and get away from being relegation fodder, we really have to sell and buy some more.
We've just sold a player for a low fee (by Premier League standards), but it's okay because there are better players out there that clubs are generously offering to sell us for lower fees?
It's the 'net' bit that is important. Sell for £10m but re-invest and more on top and spend £20m Net spend £10m. Every club is a selling club !! But not all are net spenders.
Middlesbrough have rejected a £9m bid from Sheffield Wednesday for striker Jordan Rhodes. I can't believe they've turned that down.
yeah, we should have held onto him till the end of the transfer window to get top dollar for him. then we could panic buy before the window slams shut. I trust MS to find one of his gems playing abroad that would love to ply his trade in PL.
I think that's right. For quite a while we've been working on getting a team that can battle successfully against relegation from the Pl. But maybe the best way to avoid relegation is to aim a bit higher and put the emphasis more on attack than defence.
Rick @HullCityLive Selling Jake £10m would leave Steve Bruce's #hcafc net spend at £27.95m. We have Abel, Daws, Hudds, Robbo, Harry, Moses, Snod, etc for that. Less than you expect, though it makes you wonder how we're still £80m in debt.
