Your probably right. Some of their posters have discounted it. They are saying that he will be in Hull tomorrow morning to discuss terms and should sign before the end of the day.
Excellent! Pity I'm not still up in that area, would have been fun to be within spitting distance of all the action. Will probably spend the day in tomorrow then keeping my eyes glued to this forum haha.
Says here that talks started yesterday. Just hope no other club, Villa, tries to step in. http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Stev...ansfer-kitty/story-20432827-detail/story.html
Mates a villa fan, reckons they've had a bid accepted too. Supposed to be talking to them this afternoon. We'll see... Aren't villa skint? Edit: also worth noting he was talking as if Shane Long is already our player. Again, we'll see.
Is this the same "mate" who was an Everton fan last week, or do you have ITK mates at every club in the country? Except Hull of course, where you have no mates.
Every club in the country. Aside from morons - just been searching about, the Sunday people reported there's interest from villa but nothing points to a bid being made and accepted. A few places think Palace are in for him as well. If villa really are interested I could see them hijacking the Jelavic deal, but I don't think there's much, if any, threat from palace.
Why would a Villa fan know more about Long's situation than us? The team that have been stalking him for half a year? Answer: Your entire post is bullshit. What a surprise.
I don't know, maybe living in Birmingham his ears might pick up the rumours that tongues are wagging? You pretentious little ****, take your bullshit accusations and shove them down your throat.
Reputation for what? And I've just realised you suggested people in Hull are more likely to find out sooner about a player in Birmingham than people from Birmingham. How ****ing dense are you.
Where are WBA based? Do you not think people talk about rumour and hearsay? You do realise that people might live and work with fans of other clubs from the same city who actually talk with each other? I never for one minute said that it was a gospel, but yes if anything is happening behind the scenes I would fully expect him to hear about it before we do, specially given the footy/sport obsessed chap he is. You're a bit too narrow minded for a journalist aren't you. Good luck is all I can say.... Hope you can manage a proper days grafting.
To be fair, looking back, I was possibly a little hasty. You've not met many journos then... I still think your original post is bullshit, by the way. Not from you, from your mate.
At least Jelavic and Long know they're coming to a nice friendly club where everyone gets on with each other!
He's just got back to me with a bit more detail, Jelavic rumour looks like Chinese whispers/bollocks and about Long he just said he was told from a baggies fan he'd be sold to us if the new manager doesn't want him after checking him out. So nothing in either - but he thinks long is **** which explains him talking as if it's a done deal.
Would think it fairly obvious that if the new manager doesn't want him he'd be off to us..! Any Joe Blogs could tell you that. So Jela to Villa is just bullshit? Could be unveiled this arvo then.
Has owt happened yet?? Also, he's not called Nicola is he? That's a female name, my female cousin is called it. I just wanted to check. Thanks.
