Reports saying we have enquired about alex pritchard now

I think the Board are going all out to ensure we stay up. They are trying to support Dyche and push us on to the next level. Hopefully, one of these will come off. I can't see many players being happy at Hull under the current regime. The owner may wish to cash out and Snoddy's agent will be pushing for a pay day. A bold move to be congratulated whatever the outcome.

Snodgrass is a terrific player who would seriously improve our first 11.

Cant see it.

I know it's a choice between Snodgrass or Brady but honestly, if we were prepared to pay 15 to 20 million for Grosicki and Stevens then adding a few quid and getting both would definitely take us to the next level. I don't expect it to happen but this board would go into total meltdown if it was to happen.

Maybe boyd isnt getting a new contract and were after 2 of the 3 names mentioned

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Wed Jan 18, 2017 6:45 pm

I think most PL clubs would be pretty stupid not too try and get Snodgrass in considering the amounts being bid. He'd be a bargain for most PL sides on current form at £6-8M, although I suspect it would take a lot more to get him but you have to question why all these bids seem low? maybe clubs have been given a price by Hull.

Because he's out of contract in the summer?

Thought he was out of contract this summer so that's not an explanation then. So I can see why the figures being quoted may seem on the low side.

7.5m for Snotty would be stupid - he's easily worth double that

That could also mean that they knew that if he was to move on, it strengthens their claim to a sizeable fee. Just a thought.

Obviously. He'd be able to move on for free in the summer otherwise.

Lowbankclaret · Post by **Lowbankclaret** » Wed Jan 18, 2017 7:58 pm

I would think the value is due to his age and contract length. At 29, 30 in Sept he is not going to have a resale value. if given a 3 year deal he will be 32 with a year left and will not have a resale value.
So basically its a gamble to keep you up with no chance of recouping any money.

Would I buy him, yes. Would I pay much more than 7.5, may be another million. But would love to get him.

Wile E Coyote · Post by **Wile E Coyote** » Wed Jan 18, 2017 8:02 pm

snodgrass stood out in a very poor team, definately got a great knack of scoring recently, would be a brilliant addition.

Steddyman · Post by **Steddyman** » Wed Jan 18, 2017 8:06 pm

Never going happen. If Hull can't pay him enough, how can we.

We almost always never comment on transfers, even via the local press. Here we have clearly stated we have bid £7.5 million. Clearly just a ploy to force Norwich hands.

We have 'clearly stated' absolutely nothing. Chris Boden has just said that his 'contacts' seem to think it's true. He has said the same numerous times in the past about many supposed targets.

Lowbankclaret · Post by **Lowbankclaret** » Wed Jan 18, 2017 8:14 pm

I dont think our board bid 7.5 million to play a game of chess. I am sure SD has a list.
Bid for Brady, Norwich reject our 13.5 m bid. We didnt start at 4 like we have in the past, its a serious bid. we were criticising the board and saying they never learn.
Looks to me like they have, and its a massive credit we should give to them.
Norwich not accepting, would you pay more, not me so move to second choice.
Snodgrass, we all agree great addition, biggest bid so far 6 m so we bid 7.5. thats got to be close to an acceptable bid.
I wrote on another Snodgrass thread we should do this, if you bid 8.5 and they dont bite they are not. selling cause he is worth no more, age and contract

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Wed Jan 18, 2017 8:16 pm

I can't see them selling for that sort of price. If Hull City have indeed taken up the option to extend his contract and he has 18 months left then you'd think he's worth more than that.

Anyone remember his dive earlier this season versus Palace? Awful. Decent player though!

That's still just Boden relying on his contacts, no word from anyone official (and you wouldn't expect there to be).

Paulclaret · Post by **Paulclaret** » Wed Jan 18, 2017 8:24 pm

That's written by Chris Boden. All it says is:

"A bid of £7.5m has reportedly been tabled"

Absolutely nothing from the club. It's all just come from his 'contacts'.

Reecey1987 · Post by **Reecey1987** » Wed Jan 18, 2017 8:26 pm

There not going to come out and say we have bid x ammount for a player unless it gets accepted then they will . Even then it will most prob be undisclosed

mybloodisclaret · Post by **mybloodisclaret** » Wed Jan 18, 2017 8:31 pm

All our signing on fees are "undisclosed" which is why Andre cost 37 million, Brady will be closer to the 50 million mark

Its not looking good on the brady front . That agent jason oconnor put a tweet up about 15 mins ago . Saying that norwich still have a slim chance of keeping brady but he expects him to still sign for burnley . Now the tweet has been deleted . Read into that what you will

Could mean absolutely anything to be fair. All very intruiging either way!

Belgianclaret · Post by **Belgianclaret** » Wed Jan 18, 2017 8:41 pm

I think Snodgrass is a player who would fit in very well.

10 million bid might do it (think he's worth it)

Just checked, the tweet is still there.

"To the Norwich fans asking, Yes there is a small chance of keeping Brady. Like i said i would expect him to join Burnley as it stands"

There's a tweet from him from 7 hours ago with that wording.

Cleveleys_claret · Post by **Cleveleys_claret** » Wed Jan 18, 2017 8:48 pm

I am sure I read that Snodgrass and his agent were not aware of the extra 12 month option and it was not on their copy of the contract. Hence if this is true maybe that is why the low ball offers. If he is kept on they may challenge the contract so Hull would have to sell rather than have a court case

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Wed Jan 18, 2017 9:16 pm

Fair to guestimate that West Ham would pay him an extra 20k a week, good job cause he'll spend that living in London haha

Tall Paul · Post by **Tall Paul** » Wed Jan 18, 2017 9:17 pm

I'd imagine that'll be because West Ham will pay him more than we would.

Snodgrass doesn't need to imagine what that feels like after doing it earlier in the season.

Jakubs Tash · Post by **Jakubs Tash** » Wed Jan 18, 2017 9:46 pm

Just so happens that Jason O'Connor is a huge West Ham fan too. So maybe he's also hoping Snodgrass only wants the West Ham move...

If reports are to be believed we've offered £1.5m more than West Ham, so unless they come back with more where he wants to go won't come into it.

ClaretAndJew · Post by **ClaretAndJew** » Wed Jan 18, 2017 10:22 pm

And having a player here who doesn't want to come is tremendous for morale.
