Prozzy on his way, hopefully. http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Hull...k-Proschwitz/story-21176621-detail/story.html
Latest betting odds. Hull 6/4 fav to sign Nicolas Bendtner (Palace 6/1 second fav) Hull 2/1 fav to sign Robert Snodgrass (Celtic 4/1 second fav) If this was a horse race it would mean there's a strong possibility both favourites winning but of course it's not. Hold on to your money. I'd be happy with any one of these two.
Probably more chance of them both signing at those odds than a favourite horse at those odds winning.
Surely I'm not alone in thinking that Bendtner is EXACTLY the kind of player we shouldn't touch with a ****ty bargepole? Free and on £5.40pw I'd still say no.
No your not. We've Long and Jelavic as our main strike force. Sagbo and Aluko maybe Fryatt too. I'd take a punt on a lower league player as a wild card.
Not saying I'd want Bendtner here like; but is he anymore of a risk than Jelly? I would say that with the Wafa Cup a decent pool of experienced strikers would be a good thing....but of course our European adventure could only last 180 minutes..... Not sure this post has much value.
I'd be worried that any of Fulham's defensive gang members might be a bit 'broken' after the season they've just had?
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/hull-eye-ashley-williams-transfer-3641701? Ashley Williams from Swansea now, £5m. I'd rather have Hangeland on a free, can he play LB? I thought he was more of a CB?
Snodgrass....yes please, just what we need Bendtner....no thanks, bad attitude, we can do better. Bertrand....would fill our glaring weakness at LB...yes Williams....would be a brilliant CH pairing with Curtis
Is there any evidence that Bendtner would disrupt the dressing room, or are people just assuming so because of his over confidence. Bruce has worked with him a couple of times before so he can't be too bad an egg?
Get a grip folks. Bendtner has scored 24 goals in 56 games for Denmark. Has scored in the World Cup, at Euro 2012. He has scored for Arsenal, Birmingham and Sunderland in the prem. He has played for Juventus and is available on a free!!!
I think that's exactly what it is. What makes people think our dressing room is so easily corruptable anyway? If Bendtner came in, he'd be shown the club way of life and would be expected to stick to it. If he didn't, he'd be ****ed. Aside from having a huge ego based on nothing, he's not a bad character. Players go through extreme changes in circumstances all the time, some handle it well, some don't.
You are using 'he played for Juventus' as a reason? That's like saying "Bebe played for Man Utd, he must be good"
No, your right, he was an unproven gamble by Juve wasn't he?! The point is that he would be a superb addition for us as his stats show.
Bendtner is an immense talent. Problem is he thinks he's better than he is. He likes to drop deep and run the flanks which he isn't great at. He never gets into positions you want and need him too. A very very very frustrating player. Oh and he's a party boy. Likes the booze.
Depends on the opposition. Williams is stronger in the air. He's a lot like Curtis in his style of play. A commanding presence at the back. Signing him would give us three good options and it would be up to Bruce and their fitness levels to see who gets to play.
