    AC Milan have reportedly turned down the chance to sign Hull City striker Abel Hernandez.

    The Uruguayan forward has scored just four goals since joining Hull last year, having previously played for Palermo.

    Hernandez had been linked with a return to Italy with the English side apparently offering his services to the Rossoneri, but, according to MilanNews.it, Milan have declined the opportunity to sign him.

    The decision was made due to a combination of both Hernandez’s on-pitch performance as well as Hull’s financial valuation of the player.


    Well, that's random if true. Just offering him to clubs seems a bit football managery, not surprised Milan have turned it down but I'd love to see what we asked for him.

    Seems weird, why would we be offering a player who they cant sign until after this season? if anyone offered i cant see it being us and more his agent testing the water.

    I wouldn't be surprised if his agent has been touting him around.

    I'd be ****ing amazed if we had.

    Before the swansea game I would of said, we should give him until january but after watching his performance in that game and the way he came off to pitch smiling. I dont really want him anymore!

    He seems like one of those players who can't cope with this league, but rather than trying to adapt, looks for a move back to somewhere easier.

    Was it Ramirez whose agent said he'd be playing in South America next year?

    Many 'top' clubs have reportedly turned down the chance to sign Hull Tigers City striker Abel Hernandez reports his agent again : ( http://hereisthecity.com/en-gb/2014...here-agent-of-arsenal-newcastle-linked-strik/ ) as he needs a new Ferrari ...

    The Uruguayan forward has scored just four 'fantastic' goals since joining Hull last year, having previously played for Palermo Jumpers

    Hernandez had been linked with a return to Italy with the English side apparently (by his agent*) offering his services /commission* to the Rossoneri, but, according to MilanNews.it, Milan have declined the opportunity to sign him when they stopped laughing

    The decision was made due to a combination of both Hernandez’s on-pitch performance as well as Hull’s financial valuation of the player & the fact there was no truth in the matter ... apart from the need for a new Ferrari for the aageent

    seems like he want's away, were going to take a massive hit money wise if we stay up or not, no way is anybody going to pay 10 million for him on his present form.

    Talking of non-scoring striker's just switch Spanish football on sky on, and up pop's our old friend Manucho playing for Rayo Vallecano against Real Madrid.

    Vallecano are having a great season, sitting in ninth place.

    Their goal difference is... worse than City's.

    My guessing would be that he wants away but only if we are relegated, so his scout is just getting the ball rolling before then. He's very popular in europe and I can imagine we should get the money back whatever. I believe the lads got the ability to be a great player. I still question our midfield from lack of goals at the front. N'doye looked very frustrated against Swansea as he just wasn't getting the supply, Brady and Elmo's crossing leaves alot to be desired, what is the point in having a 7ft striker and not been able to cross.

    One big question mark for me with Bruce is he has been saying for ages that our striker role is a problem, he's got two popular internationals up front now who have a average goalscoring record abroad. I think it's time we sit back and stop questioning the strikers and maybe looking at Brucie's tactics and why every striker he brings in is never happy at the club or trails off the more they play. Can anybody really say in all the time Bruce has been here, we have had a good striker up front?!

    I've said all along it's our centre midfield. We never - and I mean never - break the lines with runs from midfield when Diame doesnt play. This is what happens when you have a quarterback (Tom) in there alongside a workhorse (Jake). This is purely a selection issue and a fit Diame swapped for Tom would solve it.

    Of course there's been a problem creating chances, the same as last season. However when a striker does get a golden chance to score they have to take it, and the ones we have just don't seem to have the killer instinct you need. N'doye may be the best of them, though Jelavic probably runs around more. But most important is having someone who can score one on one against the goalkeeper.

    I think of the reasons we played so well in the first 10 games was because Diame, Livermore and Huddlestone complemented each other.

    When we just have Huddlestone and Livermore we look a bit samey and one paced.

    Yea we've had Jelavic and N'Doye, Long last season and in the Championship Simpson and Aluko were doing well at first, but then we tailed off in attack.

    Which is probably another point, why do City under Bruce keep starting the season playing well and attacking, then finishing it looking really poor, particularly up front?

    Totally agree the mid-field been a problem for a while now, watching other team's they usually have one or two midfielder that burst into the box and either score/or help the forwards, just as a matter or interest how many times do our forwards receive the ball facing the oppositions goal, they also seam to be receiving it with there back to goal or ten foot in the air,i've said it before and I'll say it again when we up the tempo we look a different team(better that is).
