Elmohamady wasn't signed in the PL - yet he's rumoured to be one of the 5/6 at City with a buy out clause. I don't want a 49 page discussion on it before you start adding replies. It just seems another area with which we've ****ed up on. Where we don't have control over players leaving.
Why the hell are we chasing Maloney at 32 years of age. Wouldn't we be better off going for an ambitious, hungry, pacy, 24 year old, who we can get plenty of years out of, or nice tidy profit, if they perform above expectations.
Probably because e's exactly the sort of player we need and his age is obviously reflected in his fee.
I expect our initial bid was about £750k, having had that rejected, we've probably gone back in with an improved offer of £500k...
I suppose when we said to their agents if we are relegated there's a 50% pay cut, they said that's fine but we are going to need a buy out clause or you can **** off and he's off somewhere else. Seems fair enough to me, the players arent hull city fans and want to play at the highest level earning as much as they can
Bruce: Hull City striker Abel Hernandez will 'knuckle down' in Championship... http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Bruc...dez-knuckle/story-27609486-detail/story.html?
I actually think Hernandez and Akpom could make a good pairing up front. A season in the Championship would not be a bad thing for Hernandez to have a go at, as it could well build his confidence and get him used to the English game.
I think he has the talent to be brilliant for us if we can give him the service he needs, it was up to Bruce to make sure he got that service and Bruce failed to deliver. He is the one I have wanted to stay, but we need that creative midfielder asap. If he does what I believe he is capable of then I would expect him to be bought in January.
