You are aware he's just rejected Benfica this week as he wants to come to Hull?

I know that's now and not last summer but it seems plenty of decent sides have looked at him in the past. And he'd rather play for Hull than Benfica.

Playing devils advocate here, but I'd wager he chose Premier League football over Primeira Liga football rather than Hull City over Benfica.
 
Come on now, which one of you edited Wikipedia?

Copied directly...

Abel Mathías Hernández Platero[1][2] (born 8 August 1990) is a Uruguayan football striker. He currently plays for Serie A club Palermo and the Uruguay national team. He is described as THE GREATEST STRIKER IN THE WORLD as well as sometimes a fast player with great technical and impressive heading ability.

I hope you feel the same about Cambiasso. Because he clearly isn't joining Leicester City because it's Leicester City.

If he joins that is.
 
Save for Arsenal, Liverpool, Benfica, Real Madrid and Manchester United in September 2013, just as the Serie B season kicked off. There's no way even you can say this isn't an impressive signing if it comes off.

You can't really take the piss out of AKCJ when Leicester have such quality striking options as Nugent, Wood, Vardy and Ulloa can you?

Oh wait...
 
He's probably looked at him in the past.


Christ, just because you have no idea what the player is like doesn't mean everyone else is in the same boat.

Probably.
Just because you've considered buying him when playing some poxy computer game that doesn't make you a scout either.

Slightly different scenario because of age, but he's said that he wants to try out Premier League football before he retires. So why wouldn't I feel the same?


It's the world we live in, if you think that Hernandez has thought "There's only one club I want to play for and that's Hull City" then you're massively mistaken.

You can't really take the piss out of Hull City when their striking opions are Jelavic and...erm...?

No, but if I see a player that turns out to be amazing, I'm more likely to check him out IRL and build up a knowledge of him. Nobody is claiming to be a scout, but it doesn't mean you can't have a decent knowledge of players from abroad.
