I've always found it interesting how we, as football fans, are so quick to believe other teams transfer rumours in the paper, while at the same time rubbishing those about our team.
SkyBet Championship ‏@Transfer_News24 2h Ipswich & Charlton are battling it out to sign out-of-contract Hull midfielder Robert Koren. Thought we could use him in the europe games
I think that Kalas played centre half in the Chelsea team that wom 2-0 @ Liverpool. Had a very good game. Quality. Fonte has also been linked with Hull City. Think you are thinking of Lovren though. down they go then. Agreed. Would be perfect for the early rounds at least for us. In saying that the Jack Rodwell rumour is gaining pace again.
Sad to see him go although I would suspect it's more RK wanting regular football, not a case of us being happy to see him leave.
I think it's both, as much as I like Koren and his style of play, I think he's on a wage that could make far more impact elsewhere.
Nice comment from the Chelsea board, regarding the suggestion that we might have made a loan approach for Kalas or Hazard jnr...
Kalas, Fonte, Turner; HA! We know who we should be going for! Bring back the glory days... "Charlton release 11 players, including Leon Cort" On a serious note however - Kieran Westwood available on a Free from Sunderland? Good keeper - would be good back up to McGregor.
Re Chelsea comment, there's plenty before that stating they think the Europa thing isn't a factor as Hazard/Kalas would only play 2 games. Also that they wouldn't benefit from playing for a "struggling" team like Hull.
Yeah, that's probably what Jake Livermore thought. The Thorgan Hazard rumour is starting to pick up, I think there might be something in it. We'll be looking to get out transfer dealings done early with Europe on the horizon.
I don't know about Rodwell (I think he's a bit out of our league), but there's a few media outlets linking us with Hazard.
I've seen just one media outlet linking us with Hazard, which was Sportinastorm.com, they have about the same amount of Twitter followers as me, so I wouldn't get too excited about this one.
Someone please tell me how David Luiz is worth £50million. Apparently PSG are striking out a deal with Chelsea for that price!
