Garbutt I'd take as a cheap back up to Robertson. But the rest of them aren't very good. Admittedly I don't think Niasse got a fair crack, but there's no way the likes of McGeady should be anywhere near a Premier League club this season.
I'm sure we're after a lot of people, but to sign them you actually have to make offers and open negotiations.
I'm not sure but isn't Jones in his mid twenties still? His best years are in front of him and would be a welcome addition to our squad.
He's only 24, which is a surprise, as he seems to have been around for ages. A bit like Nicky Featherstone.
David Burns @bbcburnsy I'm told Diame from @HullCity to @NUFC is done. No official confirmation yet. #hcafc
16:12 HULL REJECT MAGUIRE BID We understand Hull City have turned down a second offer fromMiddlesbrough, thought to be around £5m, for defender Harry Maguire.
Phil Jones would be an amazing signing, but we haven't a prayer at the moment. If we still had Bruce and **** wasn't quite as bad as it is now, I could see how an out of favour Jones would be tempted to come play for him on a loan with view to buy but with our situation now? No ****ing chance.
Philip Buckingham @PJBuckingham #hcafc have rejected a £5m offer from Middlesbrough for Harry Maguire. Club insist they have no intention of selling. He's still injured at the moment anyway.
Good riddance to Diame, thanks for the goal but he never wanted to be here and would have been long gone if he wasn't injured. ****ing mercenary
The two reported rejected bids over the past week should offer a slight sense of encouragement, as if dumb and dumbest motherfucker of all time were genuinely intent on asset stripping, reckon Maguire and Robbo would both be gone by now, but I'm not sure whether they could just be playing the 'arch negotiatiors' they are in trying to hold out for that extra bit of cash.....
