Hull City still hopeful of signing Moses Odubajo and Andre Gray before season opener please log in to view this image Hull City are still hopeful of signing Brentford pair Moses Odubajo and Andre Gray in time to face Huddersfield on Saturday – despite seeing a £9m offer for the pair rejected. The Tigers yesterday launched a joint bid for the Bees duo, even though they triggered the £3.5m release clause in Odubajo's contract last Friday. The Brentford player has been at the club's training ground since Sunday having agreed personal terms on a three-year contract. A clause allowing other clubs 21 days to better City's offer has stalled the completion of the contract, but the Tigers hope that a complex deal can now be smoothly navigated, having tied in their number one striking target Gray into the equation. However, sources have suggested the Bees are holding out for £10.5m plus add-ons. City are unlikely to give up the chase now and are understood to still be hopeful of landing the pair in the next 24 hours, making them available for the start of the Championship campaign at home to Huddersfield on Saturday.

We only know that cos of another journalist article. Playing Devil's advocate, how do you know which is right?
They obviously haven't waived it, it seems it's the reason for our new joint bid approach to get both deals through immediately.
**** getting the signings in in time to bed in for saturdays game brucey were going to **** around something chronic We need an experianced head of transfers our recruitment is ridiculous
There was a rumour going around that OLM had that much money that when he wrote a cheque out, the Bank Bounced! However, I think he has far better things to do with his money than gamble it on footballers who could break a leg first game they play!
We must be getting some sort of encouragement from Brentford regards this deal otherwise why pursue it, also Gray will have indicated that he's ready to move or this week going's on have been a waste of time for us to agree a fee for Gray to say "I don't want to move", just feel were not far apart from agreeing a deal with Brentford.
Gray want's to come alright and we'll have been told that. He's can't say anything though otherwise he loses his loyalty bonus in his contract. Usually a decent amount of money which has to be paid in full when a player transfers. It's paid in installments throughout the contract of the player as an incentive to keep them and not to state to the media that they want a move
The part where we triggered a players release clause , then went back in with another bid that didnt trigger it that got rejected , all seems a bit amateur to me
No, I don't think Footy Manager is that advanced. Why do you think it is that you rarely hear a player saying to the media 'I want to leave'? And if you put in a transfer request you also lose it, which is why it is considered a last resort.
Probably because we only know one side of the story. More realistically that we'd have to wait 21 days to sign him so we want both to remove that clause and placed a joint offer.
Hope it's not a touch of the Charlie austins (not an injury) but that the players gone public and we faff about
West Ham transfer news: Hammers chase Hull City striker Nikica Jelavic West Ham United are set to make a move for Hull City forward Nikica Jelavic as they look to solve their striker crisis. The Hammers are sweating on the fitness of their stars this summers as Enner Valencia's knee injury has ruled him out for 12 weeks. Andy Carroll is also a cause for concern having been sidelined for the majority of the summer missing their Europa League qualifiers through injury. Now Slaven Bilic is looking to address the issue and make a signing before the season opener against Arsenal this weekend. The Croatian boss is hopeful of tying up a deal for Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez, but he is now thought to be looking at compatriot Jelavic. The player is believed to be interested in a switch to remain in the top flight of English football. Hull City were relegated from the Premier League last term on the last day of the season and will now be looking to sell some of their highest earners. http://www.brentwoodgazette.co.uk/W...tory-27557382-detail/story.html#ixzz3i1XBjFdy
