Dodged another bullet with that one. There is a God!! Hope he (Cleverley not God!!) plays against us on Sunday.
It usually opens a couple of days after the transfer window shuts. Not that it affects us in terms of incomings, but it might see us shift some fringe players.
Burnsey; Hull City's Steve Bruce tells @RadioHumberside he's interested in Man Utd's Tom Cleverley and West Ham's Mo Diame but says no bids. #hcafc
David Burns ‏@bbcburnsy 7m Steve Bruce confirms Hull City close on Hernandez deal but not over line yet. Work permit #hcafc
on tonights showing, and even though bruce played the wrong team, we really need to sign a player who can link up the midfield to attack, a number 10, a koren type player, whatever you want to call it... we NEED it. Snodgrass might have been the player, but he's out for the season. Bruce has said we want a midfielder but admitted being interested in cleverley and diame... neither of them are the answer. we need a van ginkel or a holtby type player.
I think we are looking at the wrong type of midfielder. Would love us to sign a defensive midfielder who adds protection to the back line. The amount of times we get caught and the opposition have midfielders running at our defence. None of our current midfielders have the discipline to play that role
Aluko and Ince are both number 10's. We need to add a bit of power and steel to the midfield, that's where Diame comes in.
Been banging on about it all summer we need a Ash type ball winner, there was tumble weed blowing through the midfield tonight it was that void of city midfielders.
ive been banging on about this for about 18 months, ive even added a pic of ashbee to my posts just incase bruce reads the board
SB played a team capable of winning the game and at half time all was going to plan. However, we started the 2nd half really poorly and once Sagbo was sent off I couldn't see us getting a third goal. Fair play to Lokeren though - they not only used every time wasting trick in the book - but they kept possession well and knew how to use the extra man advantage (more than Stoke did on Sunday IMO).
David Burns @bbcburnsy I wonder whether Hull City might have a tickle at a midfielder at Chelsea? #hcafc ??
8:57 More on the future of Tom Cleverley now, and Sky Sports understands that Valencia have made an offer for the Manchester United midfielder. Aston Villa and Hull City have also been linked with a bid to sign the England international before the transfer deadline.
Other than the Egyptian link I don't see it. We have Aluko, Ince and Brady. Much more likely to bee Van-Ginkel.
