And this is what I dislike about the game. We get the nucleus of a good team together, then get relegated due to injuries, some poor decisions by the manager, and a couple of midfielders that can't be arsed, then we get ripped apart and have to start all over again. But that's how the cookie crumbles. Same for everyone else on our level
£7m is a very good deal for Brady, personally I don't think he's worth that. £5m tops for me so well done to the Allams
I'm surprised people looking at Brady haven't looked at Robertson instead. I think he's the better player (Brady is great) but Robbo is quicker and put's a better cross into the box. If we are using the player sales proceeds to reinvest in the team, then his fee could get us Bentley, Gray and Clucas - I'd be well happy with that outcome.
@bbcburnsy: Sources confirm @hullcity Brady to @NorwichCityFC agreed £7m and Sam Clucas @ChesterfieldFC to Hull fee agreed £1m ish #hcafc @bbcburnsy: Sources say no approach or enquiry for James Chester @hullcity from @SouthamptonFC at this stage. #hcafc Burnsey's tweets if anybody missed.
Brady has scored something like 7 goals for us in two loan spells and two and a half years of permanent deals. That's really not that flash. He's inconsistent with his crossing and can be very complacent on the ball. 7m is an absolute steal.
"Clucas had a great chance to double the lead around the half hour. The ball fell to the forward unmarked inside the area, but his air-shot and subsequent fall to the ground received a few comedic jeers from the away supporters behind the goal". Sounds like we've bought another Danny Graham. Hope that was a one-off.
Few on Twitter saying £1m for Clucas is a very good deal for Chesterfield which is worrying, but people are saying he's a good player and can run for days. I can't see him getting too much game time anyway. Most likely backup to Robbo at lwb and then the occasional game on the wing if we play 4 at the back, but even then he could struggle when Snodgrass is back. Basically this looks to me like a good squad signing with him able to play a variety of positions, if he can pitch in with a few goals and assists he'll be worth it
I think OLM said he got confused because the player started out on loan last season in a league 2 team.
Yes, I eventually saw that. I posted before I had caught up fully since I was last online Just call me Tickler.
What I want to know is what second raters will we play in the Europa League, League Cup and FA Cup so we can get kicked out as soon as possible?
I wonder if the club has been clever with the buy out clauses and insisted that they have to be activated by the end of July to give us time to get replacements? My guess is not.
