Skysports Transfer Centre blog 13:47 We are hearing a host of clubs have made enquiries for Hull City striker Matty Fryatt. Hull's double signing of Shane Long and Nikica Jelavic has alerted a number of sides to Fryatt's possible availability this month. The likes of Nottingham Forest, Leeds, Blackburn, Sheffield Wednesday and Wolves are all thought to be monitoring the striker's situation closely as they weigh up moves for the forward.
We're obviously trying to shift Proschwitz ahead of Matty and if Graham goes back, we'll be running a bit low on strikers, so I'm not sure we're in a hurry to get rid of him. That said, if Graham does go back, we could bring another one in loan.
Pete O'Rourke ‏@SkySportsPeteO Nottingham Forest, Leeds, Blackburn, Sheffield Wednesday and Wolves are all tracking Hull's Matty Fryatt.
They'll get rid of Fyratt, Proshwitz and Graham. We have four srikers now, Aluko, Long, Jelavic and Sagbo. I see no need for 5. I can see all three going depending we get the bids for fry and Prosh
After Paying 15m or whatever on strikers I don't think they will use a loan place with another striker. We all thought sh1t when Hudders was red carded as if we lose him i think we WILL struggle. Need back up
It does seem highly unlikely that we'd use up a loan spot with another striker, though a bit of a cloud still hangs over Aluko and his ability to stay fit.
I can see Fryatt going, Graham's loan continuing this season while Aluko gets back to fitness but Jelavic - Long - Sagbo - Aluko as our four forwards going forwards.
We all like to see our forwards going forwards, no matter how many of them we have! Some goals would be nice too
Fryatt could do a job for us off the bench, but I think if they can cash in on him, get a good price and cut the wage bill they may well opt for this.
Prossy and Fryatt wont be going anywhere especially if Danny Graham is about to leave. Prossy has already said that he will stay and fight for his place. Well he and Fryatt get another start @ Southend.
Based on that Mr FT, it may be prudent to take any money they can get for Matty, a shame but that's football. Could come down to the managers attitude re the FA cup. Let's see who we get in the draw on Sunday. A home tie would be nice. The draw is made before the window shuts. Might turn out the cup draw has a bearing here.
Agreed. IF Big Nick goes it will be in the summer. As for Fryatt, if he wants to stay a PL player then he knows what he has to do starting @ Southend on saturday. By all accounts Danny Graham wont be here much longer now.
It didn't work out well with Danny Graham so if he has to go and we get a spare loan spot I don't think that would be a bad thing. I still think there is business to be done, we may yet be waiting for news on the final hours of deadline day. I wouldn't expect us to take a loan just for the sake of it. LB/LWB maybe? We may yet buy one more player and call that it. I have noticed nobody ever wants to leave these days and they have to be dragged out of the club kicking and screaming. Which can't be a bad thing.
