We will have a couple of quality additions which will boost the whole club, should Hull and Norwich pull their fingers out of their bottom.

Don't get your hopes up I'm sure that Lee Darnborough fella (who sent the last minute emails) works for Norwich now.

Forgive me if It's obvious but what 'last minute emails' ?

It got a fair bit of coverage when it happened. I'm not sure how normal such emails are. The fact that it became a story suggested that we weren't doing things right at the time.

Nice footnote about the ' only bit of business was signing Michael Keane permanently from Manchester United'.

ShabbaRanks · Post by **ShabbaRanks** » Mon Jan 30, 2017 3:48 pm

I think what folk might not be considering if they are assuming Brady is going to be primary lb cover is also that if we have to move him back there, that we are are then having to open the door to one of Boyd or Arfield, which is not ideal, if we are assuming that Brady and JBG would be the first picks when fit.

I'm not slating either Boyd or Arfield but clearly the point is to bring in replacements of a higher quality as per the natural progression of the team. If we're shunting these supposedly superior replacements about then it's not an ideal scenario.

Also, as someone pointed out, we (arguably) play with inverted wingers more often than we don't play with inverted wingers so you have to be reasonably confident he's going to be popping up at RM here and there.

Robertson makes sense not just for these reasons, but others as well - Ward will be 32 in August for example - how long can he keep his great form up? Could we get a similarly talented young lb for much less? Should be taking advantage of a relegation rival?

Dyche quote on SSN along the lines that we are not just buying for now, but for the future of the club

Great respect to Ward and Boyd but a future left sided pairing of Robertson and Brady is something we could only dream about at the start of this season

Add Gosling loan, and the end to a great month

I thought it looked more like an act of desperation.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Mon Jan 30, 2017 4:20 pm

Obviously a talented player but I have 2 reservations (which I could put down to his age) that are of concern. He's very rash in his tackles on too many occasions and he argues with referees far too quickly, seems a bit of a hot head. I'm sure Dyche could stop him from doing the later but the first I'm not so sure. I still hope we get him though !

edit: just been on a few Hull forums, seems they think he is very good going forward but "horrendous" at defending.......

jojomk1 · Post by **jojomk1** » Mon Jan 30, 2017 5:51 pm

On SSN just now - Hull adamant nobody will be leaving unless replacements come in first - they are hoping to sign 3-4 players before window closes

Obviously that's the date on the sky report, Lee Darnborough worked for us then and was the one sending the emails, he no longer works for us and works for Norwich (I believe).

No we had agreed a fee with Hull, I presume by Nixon saying ''agreed a deal'' it means we've also agreed terms with the player to join us. I doubt Snodgrass ever met with us to discuss terms tbh

He does, so we are now in his hands again, waiting for him to pull his finger out and get a left back signed so we can get Brady.

So all this really means (and you could apply it to all of our enquiries in this window) is that the club in question accepts our valuation.
The selling club will only sell if they can sign a replacement.
We still have personal terms to agree.
And there's the medical too!

Not even close, is it?

Apparently Hull expect to make up to 5 signings tomorrow - might cry if one of them isn't a left-back.

Very different to agreeing a deal with the player, Joey.

If the other four are left backs, wouldn't that do?

If Hull are willing to let him go to replace with AN Other: We should be going after AN Other.

Nothing on Twitter at all about Pieters, why are Stoke selling a 1st team player?
