Hobbs

I would assume that. Anything less will get rejected and will probably only piss off Allam making any deal impossible. 1M is steep considering his contract and recent injury but for his ability 1M is a snip.

 

.

Sky only ones to run the story and no mention of fee so people talking about a fee are talking out their arse

 

He's definitely not worth 1m when he's out of contract in the summer.

 

I was told we were negotiating a contract extension for an additional 2 years, could be interesting.

Is this goodbye Alex Bruce or preparations in case of relegation ?

 

We paid 1M for Wes Morgan who only had a few months on his contract.

Best 1M we ever spent.

 

But that's like saying Matt Mills is worth 5m because that's what we paid.


He might go for 1m, but he won't be worth it.

 

Best 1M spent because you were struggling with replacing Hobbs?

 

Agree here, why would Hull accept a smaller offer?

£1m both ways seems fair to me, neither club makes a loss.

I'd be happy to have him back here, thought he was a good player who was pushed out by the Sven wasters (although Sol Bamba was fairly good business Sven did, Mills playing over Hobbs was atrocious) ... you can keep Fryatt though

Technically yes, but also because he has been on POTY form since being here, same with Kasper.

If Pearson hadn't took Hobbs to Hull, i'd have no doubt he would have had Morgan and Hobbs as CB's for the last few seasons.

 

We got 800k for Hobbs and the bought Morgan for 1m.

Effectively we signed our best captain since Elliot for 200k

 

You will most likely get Hobbs cheaper as you may have a sell on clause.

 

Funny really because there was a poll on the forest forum where they rated Hobbs better than Morgan, means nothing as fans are so fickle that they easily forget what the ex player did for them.

 

This is something I've read on FoxesTalk but OLM vehemently dismissed it.

I read that, because Hull wanted to get around our sell on clause (I.e. get the entire amount from Forest) that you'd charged them an 800k loan fee with the view to a summer transfer (because he'd be a free agent) which would cost nothing for Forest.

But seeing as you've recalled him it seems like he's right or you've been very sneaky with Forest I assume the former though.


I am sure we've got a sell on clause though. Which could mean we get him a bit cheaper.

 

They probably go on the same course as the politicians -'How to answer questions confidently without answering a question'

 

I'm not surprised.

Morgan wasn't particularly impressive with Forest but he was a good leader.

But Pearson has done really well. He was a tad overweight at Forest, slow and clumsy but he's been superb in all aspects for us. A lot of opposing fans reckon he's the best in the division at the moment.



I said the same when Hobbs left us and I stand by my word. He wasn't strong enough, calm enough and he was ****ing **** with the ball. But he's improved at Hull. He's matured a lot.

He might be a decent investment at between 500-800k, but I think he'll only play for a month then be on the bench to Moore again. We'll see.

 

Sorry i forgot that it was £800k transfer.
Maybe if we bid £1m and we have a 20% sell on clause, it would cost us £800k ... you never know

 

If you do have a sell-on clause it wouldn't matter, because say Forest/Wigan/Reading whoever are prepared to pay £1m, why would we then sell him to you for £1m knowing that we wouldn't see 10% of it? We'd just say to you that because of the sell-on, the fee would have to be higher so that we get the same amount from you as we would from Forest.

 

True, Pearson seems to really like Hobbs, so i'd guess he'd pay the extra anyway, or just wipe the sell on clause.

Its not like we have debts any more anyway, and if £1m helps us get promoted, then its more than worth it.
