Transfer request needed, throw toys out of pram time after all he is only young

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 12:10 pm

Not sure a transfer request at this late stage will help matters.

If Hull won't sell, then they won't sell

12:05 Silva confirms Robertson is staying
"We'll try to improve some positions in the next hours, it is not easy but we will try.
"In this ok, it is normal to wait to until the last hours but we will try to do our best.
"Robertson is not leaving, he is our player he is important for us and he is preparing to play tomorrow night."

Would've been a great signing but Ward is doing a great job for us.

@HullCity
“Andy Robertson is not leaving, he is our player. He is important for us and he is preparing to play tomorrow night.”

This one isn't too bad, because Ward is fine playing left back.

I'm sure you'll be using the Brady one

Ward us 32. We need another left back.

LB is definitely not a priority now with Ward's excellent form

CombatClaret · Post by **CombatClaret** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 12:20 pm

We were probably too late to the Hull sale. Silva been pushing back big time on any more 1st team sales and probably dragged his heels on targeting for a replacement.

One for the summer when they're down though I expect we'll have a lot more competition for his signature.

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 12:23 pm

Ward is the POTY for me.

I'd give him another 2/3 year deal.

It will be if he breaks his leg again. Why has it taken until now to register an interest in Robertson. So frustrating

Not looking likely this one, Hull can't get a replacement in.

HiroshimaClaret · Post by **HiroshimaClaret** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 12:29 pm

I very much doubt any signing will replace Ward unless he has 2 or 3 howlers. He has been one of our most consistent performers this season without ANY doubt.

VERY difficult to argue with this sentiment. Ward encapsulates everything good about this team.

SkiptonClaret · Post by **SkiptonClaret** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 12:33 pm

For all those going on about Ward, the Robertson deal was all about the longer term - he's approx 9 years younger than Ward, it would have been an exceptional signing for us. I'll break it gently - the likes of Ward, Boyd, Barton, Kightly, Marney aren't going to be around ever. If we have the realistic chance of upgrading with younger players we should take it, simple as that.

Jenkinson is available at Arsenal, good attacking right back.

Jambo · Post by **Jambo** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 12:36 pm

But @ClaretsLongside said Robertson was "90% done". I'm confused.

I think people are aware of that. In the short term though Ward is doing well and survival this season is vital. The future will take care of itself. This isn't the last ever transfer window.

Big disappointment, that was certainly a signing I would have been very happy with.

Realise that, obviously, but if there's a realistic chance to improve with younger players then we should be looking to take it and it looks like, in this instance, we were looking to do just that.

We have a few areas on the pitch where we will be short if somebody breaks their a leg. Up front being the major one along with centre mid.

Pearcey · Post by **Pearcey** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 12:40 pm

It was definitely a bold move and the sort of player we should be looking at. Let's hope the future is Bright.

LawsCanalJump · Post by **LawsCanalJump** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 12:40 pm

It is down to Robertson now to force a move! Will all happen in the later stages

arise_sir_charge · Post by **arise_sir_charge** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 12:45 pm

Could be mind games from Silva to deflect some of the criticism if Robertson now try's to force a move.

Nixon suggested early on today that Robertson isn't happy at delays.

RocketLawnChair · Post by **RocketLawnChair** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 12:50 pm

If one of Robertson and Brady doesn't come off then at least the club have done what many have been asking and identified more than one target for an area of the pitch. Brady and Robertson can both play wide left and both play left back. One would be brilliant both would be sensational. But we will have cover for Ward either way providing we get one of them in.

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 12:51 pm

Now scrape that pan Sean and start again!

I can't see the manager having been as adamant as he has done to then see the player leave, won't happen. Sadly.

And if, like I suspect, neither sign, we'll have to go for 3 players in each position in the summer

BabylonClaret · Post by **BabylonClaret** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 12:53 pm

Lets be honest. Hull have been doing a right firesale and if he condones that without some fight he will be given a bit of a kicking by fans.

If ee do get him (by some miracle last minute deal) he can tberefore say it was out of his hands.

And also gives him some wriggle room if the Hull hotseat starts to look uncomfortable.

Bin Ont Turf · Post by **Bin Ont Turf** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 12:53 pm

They have also accepted a £10m offer from Burnley for full back Andrew Robertson , but Telegraph Sport has been informed the Scotland international is not overly keen on linking up with Sean Dyche in Lancashire and could remain at Hull.

A couple of sales is hardly a firesale. Plus they've brought in about 5 already, with potentially more to come. I think they're actually having a decent window. They aren't down and out like some are suggesting.

in his press conference

Tall Paul · Post by **Tall Paul** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 1:01 pm

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but the Hull manager said in his press conference that Robertson will be staying at Hull.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 1:03 pm

You suggesting short term Paul, as in we have loaned him back?

claretspice · Post by **claretspice** » Tue Jan 31, 2017 1:03 pm

Clearly a battle of wills going on at Hull, so I don't read this statement as being the knock out blow some seem to.

The manager won't have ever wanted Robertson to leave, so someone else must have been working with Burnley on the deal.

What the manager says is only one element of the picture. He may be trying to force his owners' hands by making that statement, and he might yet succeed, but I doubt its truly his decision to make.

We will only know if they've had a decent window around May time.

I think we'll sign him early in the summer so no major drama here.

we do still have Mee to cover LB in emergencies - Ward has been excellent this season and it would have been hard to drop him if Robertson did sign
