Hull City Transfer Rumours - Summer 2014

He becomes a player coach at 37, then takes over management when SB leaves to manage newly formed MLS side Hawaii 5-0. Daws Jr then gets his brother in as an Assistant Manager, the former leaves us for the Spurs job, giving us £10m in compensation and leaving Andy Dawson as manager of Hull City. Not bad for £4m.

 

Really you only need 4, Aluko can cover there if needs be. Otherwise you end up with a backlog of strikers and people being paid to do nothing at all.

 

Aluko will more than likely still be in the medical room when needed

 

So that will be just the three strikers. I really think we need 4, given the amount of games we will have this season.

 

I agree.

Also, is Ferdinand not worth a shot. I know DQPR has the London connection, but we have European football and Bruce's United connection. Just some papers reporting he's taking a 75% pay cut.

 

A 75% pay cut still puts him on about £80k per week. He's such a perfect DQPR signing it's untrue.

 

Yes, from a gun..

 

OLM, I expected some constructive feedback at least from you on my winger suggestion of Kasper Kusk of Aalborg. Any thoughts?

 

Send Brucey an email.

Baring in mind Brucey doesn't know how to use emails.

 

Wouldn't surprise me if the Dawson deal is a DONE DEAL DONE DEAL and is linked in with the Livermore deal. Just personals to sort out I'd imagine.
(unable to read the article if this repeats any if that)

 

Kamel Ghilas looked good on You Tube

 

I think that's all anyone can deduce, but looks a good prospect and value for money. I'm sure if he was any good, he'd have been looked at already.

 

Good point! But the Scandinavian's tend to fit into our game very well. He reminds me of Brian Laudrup/Jesper Olsen a bit.

 

Aluko is a forward, which means he can play as a striker or as an AM/winger. In our first season under Brucey he was played up front with Jay Simpson (or just behind him) and scored 8 goals, to all intents and purposes, he's comfortably a striker. That season Simpson and Aluko were our main strike force, with Proschwitz and Gedo providing cover or swapping when needs be. That worked well and I can only assume we'd keep the same model. Don't forget that in some games we might only play with 1 up front, which would then leave four strikers fighting for one spot.

Aluko, Long, Jelavic and one more would be four. Assuming we play 2 in the PL, that would still leave 2 to play in the cups/Europe. I'm of course not including any youth players that might be chucked in during the early rounds. Any more than that and competition for places would then become quite difficult, resulting in players getting pissed off and us wasting money.

 

And your usually So prudent ,about carrying your English books about.

 

wonder if he's p#ssed off with the F.A. (ban) and his lack of football .

 

Hdm, now expressing a doubt in regards to the Livermore deal going through.
