    I thought that. Release clause by any chance? He's touting himself about like a hooker.

    Indeed. I don't for one minute think Everton are interested he's nowhere near the standard they're aspiring to. This is his agent letting every club know what he's available for, and I for one have no issue with this. If we can get £7.7m for him that would be a good result.

    Hate to see hot prospects being picked up relatively cheap (not by us) and then bought for insane amounts. Missing a trick.

    Bradley Dack
    Rico Henry
    Jason Cummins

    Callum Camps will be the next

    Why do you hate that? Do you hate that it's not us picking them up or the fact the players are doing well?

    I think we should get rid of Clucas,Hernandez, Dawson and Henriksen.

    That we aren't picking them up but clubs that could be considered of a lower stature are.

    Well, we go into the Benfica friendly with 1 recognised centre half and no left back. Great job Enob.

    It's a big risk to pick up league one players, you need to have middle men.

    Similar to how Southampton take the risk on players and then Liverpool will buy them from them. Liverpool would rather pay a premium on a player that has experienced the league than take a risk on an unknown and risk them failing.

    You're wrong,

    Mannion at left back and because of just how attacking we are , we can put Marshall at centre back.

    I fear how much of a morale destroyer a demolition from Benfica could be. Hopefully the underdog situation can help and we can do a Cambridge.

    Whilst I get what you are saying. Completely.

    We are no where near the stature of those clubs. We need to take educated punts on these players because the vast majority end up getting sold on and making it . Moneyball.

    My point was, it's all relative.

    Clubs at the top of the Championship aren't going to take these punts but teams like Brentford and Peterborough will. Same applies to L1 and L2 etc.

    Most of them think we are paying 8 million upfront like they are for Robertson, even though it's actually half of that.

    I know it doesn't make a huge difference but that's ahead of the 2013/14 season so actually four years ago.

    It is, to to be fair what did anyone expect? It was totally predictable. The sad thing is that the professional sports observers have either missed this developing, or they choose to be silent.

    The press do their job, as they see it; we should be wise to that. I sense, from what I have seen, a media lining us up for the dog's bollocks of ridicule. TWT.

    If Grosicki is that desperate to leave and Everton want him then why not a straight swap for Niasse

    The only problem was he didn't understand how to play it with the players he had. He bought badly for his tactics; not bad for £££s return.

    I'd be happy with that. Niasse did alright last season, effective and unpredictable.

    Grosicki isn't that bad.

    Niasse is worth maybe 2 mil at a push.

    ****s like patty saying ppl being doom and gloom is bad
    for what
    signing a fat free agent campbell?
    HAHAHAH
    the **** never wanted to sign when he was in his prime
    now he signs when hes a free ****ing agent aged 30 with no where else to go..
    having done **** ALL since 2008,

    a chelsea loanee

    and a guy we practically swapped robertson for.. who like i said has played pretty much same level of top flight football than tymon.

    yea hull city is in a great place... top 10 finish would be lucky.
