Will Aluko go?

[Willson]

Hope he stays as he is a brilliant player. Not sure he will get a much better deal elsewhere so maybe we could get a 20k a week deal plus a 15k appearance bonus or something like that.

I wouldn't call 70 minutes 'early'. Most substitutions start to appear then.

It is for the player who is meant to be our 'star performer'.

 

[Party Hull!]

Certainly think he's played his last game for us.

Believe he won't play again this season, will leave for free in the summer and save us a load of money in wages.

Talented, but hugely unreliable and if his achilles keeps going pop he'll be fighting for his career by 26/27.

But here is the scenario you'll most likely face.


Lose him to a lower-PL club for money or lose him to a lower-PL club for free.

I can't see many in the top half even being interested to be honest. He's got undoubted talent, but his achilles heel is his injury record. emoticon-0105-wink


I think Palace would be bigger mugs than you for that price at this time.

A fair summation I think Mr King.

I think Bruce would prefer to keep him, but would want him playing rather than continually sidelined. This has the hallmarks of a reverse Bullard deal .. i.e Palace willing to take a talented injury prone player, pay us some dosh towards a Danny Ings / Jordan Rhodes / Shane Long.

I wonder too if Bruce was pushed to an extent by club finances regarding Charlie Austin showing the clubs stance on injury prone players.

(P.S. whilst I was disappointed to see N Pearson take a backward step in his career when leaving Hull City AFC Tigers HCFC City Tigers, it is with some alarm that I see he has now taken to watching men wee in forests. The dirty bugger I never thought he was like that).
