Title: Another good news day?
Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on January 31, 2020, 07:54:18 am
I really don't like transfer deadline day.

Let's hope it's more good news for us and then things go very quiet and Darren switches his phone off.

Let the fun and games begin at other clubs please. Let's be positive about what the rest of the season might bring.

West Ham paying £22m for Bowen worrries me. Can only imagine McCann will try and take Whiteman or Sailder.

Has that been confirmed? Hopefully it would be too late anyway for us to contemplate any bids, and/or  the Allam’s just want to trouser the cash.

Going nowhere.
Unless they offer 5 million minimum for the pair. We don’t need to sell do we. Get offered silly money and that’s a different matter, especially for Sadlier as he is out of contact in 5 months.

Why go to Hull. We might be playing them next season and we have a better Manager imo.
Yes I know if their wages are doubled their heads could be turned.
Can’t see either of them being a replacement for Bowen though.  ;)

Will be very shocked if either of them go today as we will be back to square one in squad depth without replacements.
It won’t happen not a chance.  That’s it then there gone as i said Marquis wouldn’t go as well.

I'm more confident Whiteman will stay. He signed a new contract for a reason, more with the summer in mind. If we don't make it this season, I won't begrudge him the chance to play at a higher level.

It is interesting how Mccann has barely brought in so many players he's managed before to Hull.

That would be daylight robbery. Whiteman alone ought to fetch that figure & more.

He’s the Jordan Henderson of the football league.

With Hull losing the stars of Grosicki and Bowen, anyone would be forgiven for thinking that Grant is about to go to another club!

Post by: wing commander on January 31, 2020, 09:52:34 am
  In all honesty I would sell Sadlier today if we got a decent bid.Out of contract in the summer and doesn't seem keen to pen another one that's on the table.
Title: Re: Another good news day?
Post by: Retdon1 on January 31, 2020, 09:54:50 am
I could see us selling Sadlier if a half decent bid came in for him from Hull and we could bring a replacement in. Whiteman no chance
Title: Re: Another good news day?
Post by: The Beast on January 31, 2020, 10:00:50 am
Really like Sadlier as a player, think he could develop into a really valuable asset but if there’s no prospect of him signing a new contract, you can forgive the club for accepting a lowish bid, it’s a business as much as it is our love. 
Title: Re: Another good news day?
Post by: Dare to dream! on January 31, 2020, 10:12:44 am
If we are to have any chance of reaching the play offs this or even next season then we need to keep Sailder. He’s one of our most important players.

5 million for the pair wouldn’t be silly money I don’t think
Title: Re: Another good news day?
Post by: RoversAlias on January 31, 2020, 10:23:07 am
I agree Dickos although only because Sadlier's contract situation drastically reduces his transfer value. Whiteman is worth about £5m to us on his own with a contract to back that asking price up, Sads on the other hand we'd not get £1m for, nowhere near in fact.

I hope he stays, I hope he signs a new deal. If he isn't going to though and a bid comes in, don't blame the club for considering it. We would absolutely have to have a contingency in place though. Today.

All that said, I don't envision anyone leaving the club today.

Didn’t Sads say it was with his agents and they’ll sort it a few days ago? Ball seems to be in his court.

Grozicki already left Hull for West Brom and Bowen looks like leaving, also. Also, worryingly (possibly for us), Hull May be losing a third midfielder!
Title: Re: Another good news day?
Post by: sedwardsdrfc on January 31, 2020, 01:01:50 pm
Kind of agree on Sadlier now we've got Cole and Feji in at least we've a bit more depth in attacking areas to accept a reasonable offer for him. Use the money wisely in the summer rather than lose him for nothing.

Yes but he got off at Nottingham, at least it was on the way Fleetwood is on the way to nowhere😁
What I don't understand is this apparent eagerness from some posters to let our top scorer go. Just imagine for one minute now the attacking goal scoring options we look as though we now have. A proven scorer of goals at this level already at the club, another in Fey and then Cole. The one thing we have all been crying out for since Marquis left was a No9 well Sadlier hasn't done a bad job deputising with his contribution so far and now things can only get better with the new signings, we hope.
Title: Re: Another good news day?
Post by: IDM on January 31, 2020, 02:11:32 pm
I don’t think anyone wants Sadlier to go this window - I don’t. 

But with Fey and Cole arriving, we could survive his loss..

DM is a shrewd bloke and has shown that although he is clearly a warm hearted man he is not driven by sentiments alone eg Bingham and Thomas come and gone and I do not see him holding on to a player who refuses his first offer to sign an extension .He has a good knowledge of the young talent especially in the Midlands and we will benefit from his knowledge and ability to attract these young players .

If I was being greedy, I would have liked us to sign Pereira, but the fact that discussions will be had this evening is good enough. I just don’t want anyone to gazump us, as I believe this young man has a future.

Post by: Barmby Rover on January 31, 2020, 06:16:32 pm
Extremely good signings, is the loan window longer than the transfer one still? Pereira might still be signed after his performance in the U23 match, he's a free agent.

The Hull fans I work with were unimpressed with who they brought in and a day after the window closes have just lost 5-1 at home!  He won't get the patience he would have done here.
