A midfield three of Sidwell, Colback and Thudd would be pretty decent, and both would come on a free!
Any idea how much the clause to buy him is/was OLM? http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Livermore-turn-loan-time-Hull-City-avoid-drop/story-19667768-detail/story.html Thats the HDM article from last year when we signed him... quoted at £3.5.. i guess it isnt that amount otherwise we'd have surely paid that and started contract talks by now..
These option to buy amounts are always bollocks. In fact I'd go as far as to say that no such clause exists. £3.5m was probably Spurs valuation of him when we took him on loan and that was the price we could have him for. His stock has since risen. If he goes to qpr he's a ****.
All 3 would not improve us at all. Lesta in need of better though. Villa let Albrighton leave for nowt for a reason. You need to keep them for sure. Palace are in for eveyone. Lazy reporting more like. I would go to £8m for Livermore. Especially when he will only get better. To get both would be great business. Agreed. Plus, As Spurs want to shed a few squad players to free up wonga for newbies we could well take advantage of this.
We do need some players with experience of playing in Europe - especially those who are available on a FAT
There is absolutely no way Bendtner will be coming here as a back up. Would be good to have the three of them fighting for 2 places, with Super Matt (Fryatt) ready to deputise as an impact sub. As you can tell - I don't rate Sagbo whatsoever.
Hence why Dawson and Rose are more than just speculation. I would not take Bender if he offered to pay Hull City to come here. An ego we just dont need at all.
Barca have just paid €2.2m to sign seventeen year old Alen Halilović on a five year deal from Dinamo Zagreb.
He's a great prospect who has been tipped to go to Barca all season. But for €2.2m, it has a sniff of the Neymar deal to me.
A bit of an indication of our intentions. "13:09 Hull City's owners are aware of the need to bolster the ranks this summer as they look to compete on multiple fronts. You need to strengthen the squad and increase the numbers of players to cope with the situation."
