    Exactly why we didn't sign Gray, someone dropped out of our chain...

    Yep, no doubt. Think most were saying that Gray was just waiting for us to sell a striker, but I suppose he ran out of patience. We'll hopefully have someone else lined up to sign the instant Jela or Hernandez go.

    I think that that is Steve Bruce's worry.

    City should try and get Jon Walters from Stoke , he would rip it up in the Fizzy Pop League

    Or you just bridge the gap to cover owning your current house aswell as proceeding with proposed new house purchase. That's what I did, SWMBO would not have accepted the alternative ;) the same could be said for players.

    Glad I did, made more on selling my old house via the second buyer that came along 8 weeks after we had moved ;)

    You could always let out your old house

    Looking at Hernandez I would be quite happy to keep him if we can and only replace him if he's sold - so no doubt we will have to have some potential agreement in place on the afternoon of 01/09/15.

    Maybe we could try for Hazard too?

    I suspect Hernandez can score 20+ goals in the Championship if he puts his mind to it and we give him the service. Might be cheaper in the long run to keep him if we can't sell him for around 9-10 million, rather than let him go cheap and pay over the odds for an English striker.

    Are you pronouncing "Sam" the posh way? Rather like pronouncing "Bucket" as "Bouquet"?

    Based on yesterday I would 100% much rather sell Jelavic than Hernandez. Abel is playing with a point to prove whereas Jela can't be arsed

    It must be frustrating being a Hull City striker seeing the players poncing about at the back

    I would be quite happy to keep both Hernandez and Jelavic; they are probably both superior to any of the suspects we are likely to attract as replacements.

    Too true. The problem is that the team doesn't play as if they want to provide them with service without going down the wing.

    Yes, let's decide the entire future of a player based on one game only.

    Not necessary always the case, as it might just be a case of timing and the cost of a bridging loan might be well worth the final deal - I suppose it depends on how confident you are that your asset will sell and for how much.

    Good call, and the other 40-60 goals will come from Akpom?

    The Zach Clough rumour is picking up steam on twitter. Some claiming we've agreed a fee!

    Where? Can't see a single tweet.

    Do you run the Hull City News twitter page? That's the only page that's mentioned it.

    EDIT: Ah, the misspelling of his name throws the search off.
