Depends whether he wants Championship football next season because that is where Palace will be going me thinks.
Really hope we don't lose Aluko, I know it might be sensible to 'cash in' if he's going to be permanently crocked but he's class when he's fit and I'd hate to see him play for anyone else, especially Palace. It is the Mirror though, so probably bollocks.
I call bull**** too, if he moves (which he won't) it'll to be bigger & better than them gob****es.
He's injured, he won't be fully match fit 'til March at the earliest. Palace will be down before the window shuts. They'll be no saving possible.
What a load of absolute bollox!
Honestly, it's not the fact he might consider leaving us, that's understandable, but to Palace?????? ARF!

Where possibly did you get that price from Andy?
(ps. we won't, not to a lower Prem side anyways, especially Palace - he'd essentially be settling for Championship football next season.)

Be honest and take your Hull cap off.
He's played (guessing) about 7 PL games for you and has a career riddled with injury. He'll be a free agent in the summer and is currently out of action til February.
Ridiculous price to be honest!
The price thing i thought was taking the piss out of Prozzy to be honest...
If we sell him, like I said, it won't be to a lower Premier League side. I just can't see why he would personally want to go to Palace either, other than them offering him stupid money.
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-winkI think Palace would be bigger mugs than you for that price at this time.

He's asked Proud_Fox for the official valuation!!!!

1) HCAFC will evaluate his injury situation. They have hardened their stance on "injury prone" larkers after the Bullard fiasco.
2) If it looks promising for a full recovery, they'll reach a contract deal with him...he respects Bruce, and Bruce rates him. If it looks dicey (injury), he may become available. He will not come cheap, he's already made his presence felt in the PL. Bigger clubs (bench warming) would not be for him. He's ambitious, but wants to play.
3) He seems happy in Hull. It's a progressive club and he's part of it. That's important to any player. Big fish in smallish pond (aka Waggy).
4) London is not an overriding consideration for him. FFS, he went to Brummy & Glasgow Rangers. (Can't recall, was he at Wigan also ?).
5) He's one of City's "key" assets, and Bruce will in no uncertain terms make that perfectly clear to the Allams. He'll be crucial to City if they stay up. A deal will be made.
6) He's a bright lad. Brum & Rangers were stepping stones. Bigger pond may lure him if City get relegated, but to no-one with a greater chance of relegation this year.
7) 2 year contract with escape clause if City relegated (or big club comes in with crazy offer). He's not gonna get one elsewhere
8) Whatever the article said (I can't be bothered to read it), it'll be bollox. They know sod all.
No chance he'll move to palace. I'd be happy to put a wager down. He won't because by january palace will be bottom. it'd be a bit daft of him.
I would snatch their hands off for 2.6 taking everything into account. Palace will be down by then so he won't strengthen a rival, and that 2.6 could turn a Long (for 5m) into an Ings (7m).
