Possibly. Well, yes.

But the sounds being made are all positive, almost as if it's a formality now.

I wish to summon the power of the French Tickler now and say TIME WILL TELL.

End of.

Can't argue with that, the signs are all positive. But it would be no great shock if it did fall through. I can't thinking though,if we don't get him,we were never going to. For that money anyway.
 
Two million is too much, maybe for a million you might take a gamble, and it would be that.
With his goal-scoring record, £2million might be worth it. He has proven he can score goals consistently and he's only 25... Sometimes the risk might prove to be either truly amazing or woeful which is obviously the dilemma Bruce is faced with.
 
I read somewhere that the two clubs were a little apart on the valuation.

So, presumably, his current club are after £2mil. We maybe have a lower valuation and can barter them down.

So we might not end up paying £2m.

This is based on no facts, just my guesswork. He'll maybe come here for £1.5 upwards.

Very well put. At least with the owners (touch wood) it would be a gamble that we could take even if it didn't work out for the lad.
 
I saw FC Thun mentioned, but if you look at Europa League you have a lot of minnows playing in it from smaller countries so maybe that's not as impressive as it sounds. I want this guy to do well but he's 25 and not played in a non German environment. It's great being positive of course nothing wrong with that, but I wonder if some people are getting carried away from what I've read on here about certain things.

Strikers don't come cheap, and they are always a bit of a gamble, I think 2 million is reasonable from what he has dome sofar. You also have to take his wage demands into account, which are probably less than buying a player already in the UK.
 
Two million for this guy is a massive gamble in my opinion. For that money you would want an instant return and there have got to be doubts about that happening, given the guy has no experience at all in non Germanic leagues or higher grades of football. Couldn't we spend 2 million on a player in this country and get a guaranteed return instead? I am having flashbacks to the Stan Ternent era when he spent a fortune on misguided gambles like Tony Finnegan and others. There is suddenly a lot of love for Bruce on here but is he one of these managers that needs to spend a fortune to have any chance of succeeding rather than bringing players on? Not a fan previously of Bruce though I hope for the best now he is with us and with this signing if it happens.
Like the useless lump Carroll that Liverpool payed £30 million for or Torres for £50 mllion by Chelsea. Not much of a guarantee there eh?

People are far too harsh on Carroll. He was head and shoulders - both literally and metephorically - ahead of Rooney at the Euros - FACT - yet most people wouldnt call him useless. Personally I'd just continue to say he's the most overrated player in history....

I can't understand why Liverpool want rid of him, unless Rodgers really is going to try and create the second Barcelona!

He looked really good towards the end of last season adn unlike Ashley Young carried that form through into the Euros.
 
I thought Carroll suffered for the manager and will be a lot better next season, as will some others at Liverpool like Henderson for example. I suppose we can have a gamble on this kid so long as it doesn't stop us getting other players in and we do lack height in the team something we really suffered with last season.
 
Can this not turn into another thread about how Liverpool wasted a pot of cash on Jordan Henderson, Andy Carroll etc!?!

On the Proschwitz front, I'd pay 2m for him, he doesn't look like any other striker I've seen and should do well in this league, serving as the perfect foil for Matty Fryatt.

Along with Hull, Bundesliga new boys SpVgg Greuther Furth are also thought to be interested in making a move for the player; their interest however, is thought to be more concrete than the English Championship club.

The player himself admits that, although he has contractual obligations towards his current club but he favours a move to the newly promoted Bundesliga side.

The lure of topflight football will be enough for Proschwitz to opt for a move to Furth. The move to Hull FC will not be too attractive for the player who scored 17 goals last season.
 
Why don't you just wait and see?

It's not like you can do anything about it!
He is an interesting signing if he comes thats for sure, sorry for stretching out this thread like you say, time will tell on some things! The info about him is unclear apart from he has a good goalscoring record in German-type lower leagues and FC Thun. The two guys he shared top-scorer with in Bundesliga 2 were journeymen type players although one of them has signed for Eintracht Frankfurt. Lots of clubs for a 25 year old and seems to get shifted/shifts himself on a lot. What did we all do without the internet for research I wonder.

Well said BCC. Rooney looked a waste of a shirt in both games he played, Carroll was vry unfortunate to be dropped after the Sweden game. Decent larker at Newcastle and at the end of the season for the bin dippers, but no way is he worth £35 million.
