Non-City Transfers Rumours - Summer 2014

Déjà vu as Ince heads to Milan to talk to Inter. Penny for your thoughts, bcc...

Interesting that the article says that it was Pulis who decided not to make the deal permanent whereas I was under the impression that Palace was a mere stopgap/Prem experience for Ince.

That is also backed up by the fact the article states Pulis only played him 8 times.

So, despite his trial or discussions with Inter, is Ince a massively overrated Championship standarte? A bit of a haha Zaha?

 

Hull City transfer talk, May 26: Tigers on trail of Raoul Cedric Loe and Sunderland's Jack Colback?

Who??

Osasuna midfielder Raoul Cedric Loe is again being linked with a summer switch to Hull City.

The 25-year-old defensive midfielder is keen to leave Spain this summer following Osasuna's relegation from La Liga.

 

Is he related to the Raoul Cedric Loe of page 29 fame?

 

Could be.

 

Cedric - A proper footballers name. On that basis, sign him up!

 

Why do they think Livermore is worth more than Huddlestone? I agree, £6m tops.

 

Younger, more mobile, more direct. I still wouldnt be held at ransom for him though.

 

Huddlestone is worth more. We just happened to get him for less.

Just imagine if we got a £7m offer now for Thudd - I would hope we'd tell them to bugger off without hesitation.

 

looks like Palarse are also in for Michael Dawson

 

I still think Huddlestone is the better player.

 

Better at different things, yes. Technically Thudd is streets ahead of Livermore, although I remember seeing stats from a couple of games where Livermore's pass completion ratio was higher than Thudd's!

 

Stats stats stats.

Look at the passes Huddlestone attempts, Livermore just plays it simple all the time.

I would be shocked if many players had a lower completion ratio than Livermore.

 

Michael Dawson and Gylfi Siguurdsson apparently.

 

If both are available we should be in for them. They're both class and both have European experience. A fully fit Gylfi Sigurdsson would be absolutely amazing for us, even if it's just a loan.

 

He'd be a VERY good Koren replacement.

 

As I think I have mentioned numerous times Sigurdsson is a player I would love to see us sign. He is the goal scoring and attacking midfielder our team needs.

 

Pasted em on the specific thread. Pure cheap PR from new owner to fans and nothing to lose really.

 

Pulis really wanted to make it permanent. I'm not sure what's gone on but it's definitely not because Pulis doesn't rate him. Possibly a falling out.

 

I feel that clubs are reluctant because of Ince snr ,maybe they feel that it would become a problem further down the road.
