Kirkland instead of Stockdale? http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/hull-transfer-news-steve-bruce-1871666?
Mannone for me. Or Myhill back. Not Stockdale for £4 million although he was a big part of our promotion.
Stockdale if we can get him for a quarter of what Fulham are asking. Not a fan of Kirkland, Havent seen the stats this year but unless i'm mistaken he's very injury prone, we need a permanent first choice that will be fit for an entire season not half of it. Also, with paper transfer links already starting to appear any chance of a transfer rumour sticky so we can keep the paper speculation in one place?
He is injury prone, but maybe SB is movng to get Fulham to drop the price (or will West Ham go after him?)
He was a big part in the promotion but also nearly cost us it with his errors!! Too many mistakes at this level, wouldn't stand a chance in the Premiership (if he was number 1 for anyone)
Myhill Manone Stockdale (drops too many) Kirkland (injury prone) I agree that the Kirkland rumours may be letting Fulham know we are not desperate for Stockdale.
Mannone first choice, then Stockdale. Wouldn't go near Kirkland, he wears a cap, and he's injury prone. I hope so, £4million is a joke!
Modds can i counter the argument to having a sticky for rumours n shizz , because as threads get merged the can become unreadable , plus when theres 3 pages in an 18 page thread coz people are arguing make it crap . Keeping the separate means i dont have to open the Manucho , Messi and Barton threads . No to Stickies Ra ra raaaa !!
Schmeichel at Lesta only has a year left on his contract apparently? He always does great against us...
Kirkland won Wednesday's POTY and played 45 of the league games, I wouldn't complain if we signed him, as long as we brought in another keeper of top quality. Someone like Schmeichel or Mannone would do! What's Craig Gordon doing nowadays?
Kirkland does sound like a value for money deal, which I'm sure we'll be keen to get lots of this summer. If he's proved himself to be good enough this year, then it could well make a lot of sense. Especially when considering the alleged transfer fee Fulham are demanding for Stockers.
Silly season! Why would Bruce be looking at 'keepers now? He'll still be hammered and rightly so. We've got 3 and a half months to talk about this stuff. No rush. Enjoy the moment.
He'll be looking now because the advantage of getting automatic promotion rather than going through the playoffs is you get a few weeks where you can go for players and none of your likely rivals for next season (other than Cardiff) can as they still don't know what division they'll be in.
I think a bit of transfer speculation after promotion is part of the moment. It's a new calibre of player, and this is exciting.
I think we should try for Shay Given again, also Sorenson has been told he can leave Stoke I believe.
