I'm expecting Seri to leave tbh. I think we'll sign a big dominant defensive midfielder who'll compete with Simmons. If Morton was to come, I'd think he'd play a more advanced role.
i dont know anything about the fenerbache players so its hard to comment but id take take morton alongside a dm/simons
I take it the reported fee on twitter for the Fener players is way off the mark. More like a €6/7m situation?
Aye, those pebble castles I used to make wi' me bucket 'n spade on 'Essle beach never stayed up very long.
I think Seri will go. I love watching him play but he likes to take his time with the ball and I don't think that works well with Tims system.
Only. When our turnover will probably be somewhere in the region of 15-20m, and that has to pay for everything from the academy to the teams hotels, however many staff, stewards,police etc. then £1m per season for a single player is not ‘only’
Well the combined value of those three players isn't €15m for starters and two of them are over 30. I'd be stunned if we paid more than €7m for all three.
After paying 4.5 millions for Allahyar, everything is possible. Hull might help Fenerbahce to pass FFP regulations also, who knows, any transfer between Sittard, Westerlo, Hull, Fener is suspicious to me. Same players are moving around this 4 club, let's add Maribor to that for future.
We could maybe have tried to sign a couple of those players? Delap would have been a start. If Acun was worried in January why did he risk bringing in all those high earning loan players? As for doubts about the managers tactics, we finished 7th, and our home form was disaterous, perhaps we coud have improved on that this season under Rosenior? But Acun never gave him a chance. We've seen evidence of the owners football judgement in the short time he's been here and its not great. All water under the bridge now but even the most optimistic fan cannot say Acun has covered himself in glory since Plymouth beat us on the last day of last season. I hope we have a strong enough squad to be a real force in the Championship this season and it would be reassuring to see some evidence of it taking shape. But I see no ships.
On July 1st - Karol Borys - 17yr old Polish wonder kid moved from Westerlo to NK Maribor on a loan for €1.3m, Acun was trying to sign Borys for City in the last transfer window but it never came off - I don't know the reason why.
Yeh the Allahyar deal wasn't good but the 50% sell on clause tells me that Fenerbahce rated him too so I'll give them a pass for that mistake. The relationship Acun has with Fenerbahce is often viewed negatively/suspiciously but I view it as a good thing. Tufan was good for us, Pelkas was a very good player and better than what we had but perhaps not quite right for the championship. If we can bring players that will fit our style and improve us for a decent fee whilst helping Fenerbahce shift players they don't want then I don't mind that. Crespo would not consider Hull City without this link I'm sure.
He risked it because they were on loan we were never likely to improve Liam showed he couldnt motivate players when it mattered against Plymouth some of our effort at home was appalling
