Writing the guy off before he's even put on a hull city shirt?

#cuckoo

So what makes you think he'll be a success? Have you seen him play? Had you heard of him before this morning? Has he got a good record when he's not injured. I can't put my finger on where you're getting your optimism.

Who's writing him off? I'm merely suggesting his previous record shows him to be injury prone with a very poor scoring record & asking, based on that evidence: apart from hope (which we all have), what evidence is there to suggest he'll be a success. If you have none, say none.

Did you say the same about Huddlestone? :emoticon-0140-rofl:

I've seen him play dozens of times and although not writing him off, I'd rather have Long or Rhodes.

I do wonder if wages are a factor here, he'll be on 50% less than either of those.
 
What a strange thing to say.

Just pulling your leg Ben.

What you have said is right RE evidence etc but lets face it, who else could we go for? It's a risk, certainly, but I think it's a risk well worth taking. Who knows, he may be a beast in the BPL and sell on for 20million in a season or two?
 
Still nothing on the Football Italia website which is very, very strange. Usually if there's even a sniff of a transfer they report on it after disecting all 3 of the big daily sports papers there and everything said by any agent in the world.

Hope he scores a brace in his 1st match to put egg on the faces of the doubters

Would that suggest he's coming as a back up for Aluko?

My (possibly blinkered) view of footballers & their agents is that if he's coming they'll be asking for top money.

Looking at the vid put on earlier I'd rather have Long too, & I didn't want him when we signed him.

Rhodes is a player I've followed for a while. Whichever PL team eventually gets him will get an exceptional player. I believe if we'd bought him now he'd have a sell on value of £25-£30m in a couple of seasons.

So just hope then.
 
Well Brucey was asked about Martinez in his press conference and his reaction gave it all away and he said were very close to a big signing.

Can't think of any other Martinez' we'd be interested in.

Clear F up from the journos asking the questions?

I don't think we could afford Jackson Martinez..

Could be Taylor-Fletcher, did you see his pic last night.

No. Brucey looked and reacted shocked that the journo knew it was Martinez when it's been kept top secret classified info in the camp. Notice the panic for a quick cover up.

Hernandez is a smoke screen.
