I also think it depends on the clubs situation, big parachute clubs can hold out for the big bucks where as we have more stringent finances due to FFP.
According to the ever reliable Inside Futbol, we've made a bid for 16 year old Coleraine attacking midfielder Alfie Gaston. One for the U21s if true. Hull City Make Bid To Sign Alfie Gaston (insidefutbol.com)
No one scores like Gaston, whips in balls like Gaston, when he's on the pitch all the fans roar for Gaston...
They seem decent straws to clutch at, also Baz reckons city have had a few meetings with Liverpool already. One name was James McConnell (I think), so it’s possible Tyler was mentioned
In theory, could a team still just go **** or bust money wise? I'm just thinking if the punishment is a points deduction but you went crazy and assembled a cracking side this season and went up would it be worth it? Or do the league block you from making transfers if you are at ffp limit?
Didn’t Leicester do that, I’m sure they were only days away from breaking ffp but they got promoted…..something like that anyway
They're getting a points deduction for infractions in the premier league. They'll get more from the EFL if/when they come down
A season long loan back to the mighty tigers would be my guess, no one is gonna pay £20million squid, apparently the price Liverpool have been asking for him…so give him another year with us. If we go up, we buy, if we don’t, we…don’t….
No one will pay £20m but by asking for it, they'll probably find someone to pay £10m, maybe even £12m with add ons. It's a lot easier than asking for £10m and ending up with £6m-8m. He's still a little green but in the current market I think he's good value at £10m.
Liverpool have excellent recent form of getting far more than their youngsters are worth. Tyler was excellent first half of the season but dipped badly when seri was away at AFCON and then only marginally improved when he got back. On the basis that he’s had one brilliant half season of championship football I’d be valuing him at no more than 5 million. Then again, what price do you put on potential?
not sure how reliable the YP is, they’ve put odds next to each of the players they think could arrive. Although the odds probably suggest otherwise https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/southampton-aston-villa-and-leicester-city-men-among-frontrunners-to-join-hull-city-in-summer-window-4688058?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2PxrDG1F7gcQP9fYqDK1A7bbRFVyDMJkICmFEqCUf6ZGnfmJ0mgwA2jBU_aem_UplqSZXSw-EEihjGo1Uj7A
Not a bad starting point. We’re publicly asking 50 mill for both. They’ve offered 30 (allegedly). If they meet in the middle, or close to it i reckon we’d go for it.
No way jaden or greaves will sign for Ipswich... no point having just one year in prem. So even if we accept I don't think they would go
They're definitely trying to sign them both, not sure they will end up there though but it drives their value up even more which is good for us.
