Do you think anyone at City has seen Hernandez play? Obviously not Bruce that would be too much but nobody? I mean actually been to watch him play. Got on a plane. Scouts like to spend the whole game just staring at their target to make a judgement. Is it a case of looking at an agent's flattering video?

Of course not, he'll have been scouted properly.

Yeah, Bruce just watched a video and said "bid £9.6m for him".

Get a grip.
 
Does he speak a word of English?? There is no Spanish speakers in the squad to help ....last time Bruce signed a player he had never seen play, watch youtube vids and was req by an agent was Prozzy

Figueroa will surely?

Luckily I'm a fluent Italian speaker

"Abel Hernandez will soon officially become a Hull City player. The Uruguayan striker leaves Italy and moves to the Premier League, he’ll join The Tigers that strongly wanted him. The player just landed in England on a private flight, he’ll undergo a medical and sign a contract with his new club later today. Here’s the picture of his arrival. Hernandez is about to start his new adventure in the Premier League with Hull City."

He did precisely that when Brum bought Zarate (not the same fee, obvs). He has since publicly said he will never sign a player without watching him in person first.

Although I cant for one minute believe he personally watched Prozzer.

Just missing, then Abel Hernandez will be a new face Hull City. A new adventure in England for the Uruguayan striker, who leaves Italy to play for the Tigers, who have strongly desired. With a private flight, the player has just arrived in England to support a medical and put his signature on the contract with what will be his new club. Here is a photo of arrival: New adventure, new colors, a different league and prestigious. Abel Hernandez greets Italy, Hull City and the Premier League are waiting for him.
 
I like him already. Good attitude, if he's posing for pictures and signing autographs. Must be really excited about playing for us.
 
Looking at his goals per minutes played is far more encouraging.

He has scored 36 goals in 6947 minutes of football throughout his career.
That is a goal every 192.97 minutes of football
A goal every 2.14 games.

Similar to Rhodes record, but he is cheaper and his all round game is probably better.
My biggest concern is not his ability to score goals, it is his injury record and whether he will fit in with the dressing room (hopefully can speak English)
 
A Palermo fan commented on the Hull City FB page saying he's unprofessional, and drinks and smokes a lot. I would think if this is the case the squad will stamp it out pretty quickly.
