Reported on the Talksport site. New Hull boss Steve Bruce faces a battle to keep midfielder Robert Koren, with promoted Reading lining up a £750,000 bid for the Slovenia captain, 31. (The Sun)
Vito in goal, Gerrard alongside Chester and Josh King on the wing would be an impressive start for me. Not even close to what Koren is worth to Hull City. Reading will be a dead cert for the drop imo next season. He wasn't when Bruce was the manager. To be honest all this Bruce will raid his old club Sunderland is pathetic. There are better options elsewhere. Its just lazy media types looking for a story. They may as well say that Bruce would like Messi in his team. Who wouldn't eh ? Correct. No chance. All Koren wanted was to see the clubs ambition. He and the others will have now.
Vito Gerrard and josh king? Would be pretty much lining up just how we did last season. I'm hoping for a bit more if I'm honest.
Just the start. There will be more on top of that i am sure. But they are proven here and would fit in seamlessly. No reason to complain about any of them or what they would cost the club.
Is it so pointless? There's an old saying - "Better the devil you know, than the devil you don't know".
Not saying I'd say no to any of them, just I'd be a bit disappointed if that was our team. With the promise of a few singings I like the excitement of seeing new players in the strip and there's nothing new there. Gerrard is a possibility but I can't see Mannone or King returning anyway. I think more likely options would be Craig Gordon, Michael Turner and Fraizer Campbell.
But Craig Gordon is a realistic target so i don't know why you would put them in the same sentence as Turner or Campbell? That a big enough bite for you?
