Hughes is a young 21 year old lad from the north, settled here amongst best friends, why would he want to uproot and move to the midlands now to a team in the same division, surely he'd be better staying for a year then taking a bigger move straight to a premier league club?

its easy to see why he could be interested in coventry
any footballer who has ambition would be
they will win more games of football than us and have a very good chance of going up

it wouldnt affect him playing premier league football either way

maybe he wouldnt want to go
 
Thinking from Pandur's viewpoint, I assume he'd be going to Boro as their number 2 keeper? If he wants to play games, why do that when he is one of the first names on our team sheet? Also, sounds like he wants to stay - so does Acun's "One Family" stuff work both ways? You know, if a player wants to go, we let them go whatever the price and whoever they are - but what about a player who wants to stay?

boro would not spend 5m on a keeper for him to be number 2

he would go as their first choice keeper

Good post but the only nagging doubt from me would be wages? I'm not sure he's on a huge wage with us,his move from Wigan would've seen him lifting a much better pay packet than he was on but he's never usually mentioned as one of our higher earners?

You're right,rumour has it he's very settled with us but there's always the chance that a big lift in his wages could see his head turned,after all,he's only human like the rest of us.

Acun Ilıcalı and the Eternal Escape from “Trampwear”



By Celeste DeVille, Senior Lifestyle Correspondent — Glitter Gossip Daily


When you’re a billionaire media mogul with a taste for private jets, islands, and prime-time TV, the last thing on your shopping list is a Primark hoodie. Acun Ilıcalı, ever the image of jet-set polish, has allegedly developed a sixth sense for avoiding what he calls “trampwear traps.”


According to sources close to him, the Turkish tycoon has mastered the art of retail dodging — gliding past budget chains as if they were invisible, his designer sunglasses shielding him from the glare of fluorescent lighting and £3 graphic tees.


“Primark?” he might quip in an alternate universe, “darling, that’s for contestants, not judges.”


Of course, this isn’t to say Acun looks down on the everyday shopper. In fact, it’s quite the opposite: he’s fascinated by the sheer stamina required to wrestle through bins of discounted jeggings. But when it comes to his own wardrobe, Ilıcalı has opted to stay firmly in the land of tailored suits and curated exclusivity.


Because if life has taught him anything, it’s that survival isn’t just about ratings — it’s about looking the part, which means avoiding trampwear at all costs.
Don't they sell much 'Trampwear' in Hull?

There's 2 Primarks in Glasgow,both rammed on a daily basis and the fights for discounted jeggings are positively ferocious at times...Govanhill just wouldn't be Govanhill without that particular item of expensive fashion being worn by the hoi-polloi:emoticon-0147-emo:
 
Someone is encouraging Coventry with bids. If after the first bid, we simply said ‘Not for sale’. Then I doubt we would have had 2nd and 3rd bids.

Unfortunately it's not that simple.and clubs will continue to try if they really want the player. In our case it's well known were up **** creek financially so clubs will try to play on that
 
who is ****ting their pants?

thats what grinds my gears
its the same with bed wetters

any sort of discussion about a bid is met with that ****e

Some posts on the last couple of pages definitely seem pant-pissy to me.

People asking "why the club are doing this" (they haven't done anything yet that we know of except reject bids for Hughes), someone saying they "dread to think" what the squad will look like after the window closes (it's really not that uncertain is it; worst case scenario we lose two good players but also there's no suggestion we're going to accept the Pandur bid and we've already rejected the Hughes one), someone else speculating about McCarthy being one of our starting CBs by September. It's not really just discussion of the bids, it's people getting very carried away.

We got too high after a decent start (despite obvious flaws), and now people are getting too low after a couple of bids received. As football fans do.
