    Nice players but both are probably outside of our current financial reach.
  2. John
    Guilty as charged. I was talking about spending £10m on players rather than £10m on one player.
  3. John
    I worry that we could also remain a Championship team. We have already spent too long down here. Another season down here will likely see players like Jack and McGinn sold in the summer and that will make promotion next season look a long way off. If we can find the funds, I would love us to sign a couple of players for around £10m in total rather than £10m each and give it one last shot this season before we take the long route to promotion, which as the likes of Forest and Derby have found can be a long and winding one.

    Jack's injury has all but ended our promotion hopes and in the same way, I would presume it may well have temporarily ended Levy's interest in bringing him to Spurs (during this transfer window at least).

    I would back him to get our stars into shape. He would have them shooting day and particularly at night.
  6. John
    Not us in the case of Alli, sadly he turned his nose up at us when Spurs matched our bid.
  7. John
    We might get McKenna for that, but I think they were after £10m for him in the last window.
  8. John
    They might just take £7-£8m though.
  9. John
    I suspect those prices are the papers ideas on how much Brentford would like for those players. I would like £9m for Scott and £6m for Ross as well but that is not going to happen either.

    You can't always get what you want. Those sort of fees would price them out of the market in my opinion. I think that you would do well to get 50% for the above players still if you don't need to sell......
  11. John
    I doubt if that is our plan or at least not our entire plan but they have players that Dean knows well and it would be silly to ignore them if Dean thinks they would fit in and do a job for him here. Most likely Brentford would be willing sellers at the right price as well.
  12. John
    I would have thought Henry would have been a similar price given his injury record.

    Yes I can appreciate that and recall trying to cherry pick games for my son (it was a bit easier back then, than it is at the moment). It does seem a bit like cruelty to children sometimes to see them sitting through some of our recent performances. I wonder if all of our players are aware of or care enough about the impact their level of performances have on the kids who come along to see them. I hope our performances improve quickly so that you can feel more confident about bringing your daughter down to our games.

    I'm sure they were. It may be a case of us still trying to bring in our primary targets before we give up on them and turn to our back up options.

    This is a game we really need to win. A win will put us above our visitors and it will keep us 5 points or less off 6th, but more seriously a win is necessary after the last two none performances our team have produced for us. It's the least our team can do for us! Hull have not won at Villa Park since 1967. We have won 13 and have drawn 8 of the 27 league games between the two clubs. Our visitors have won their last 6 league games though and we have not won a game at home since November (5 games). Nothing less than a win will be acceptable!

    He would cost a lot of money as would Powell but that is the type of signing I would like to see us consider to give us a little more creativity in the final third. That said, we would then need to move on and look at where else we need strengthening because the team we have are proving more fallible than I had thought possible. By the way, Rico Henry probably put a few thousand on his price with his goal yesterday as well didn't he? We could have done with a bit of that at Wigan.
  17. John
    Promoted teams don't lose 3-0 at Wigan. What happened to the team that outplayed Derby, Boro and Albion away? Five points off sixth place still, but it might as well be fifty the way we are playing! One win from our last six league games. That's nearer relegation than promotion form. We have spurned a great opportunity in recent weeks to make a run for the play off places if not the automatic spots. Desperately disappointing stuff isn't it?
  18. John
    So much for a dry January for me as well!
  19. John
    To have lost/got stuffed by a team that could not buy a win before we turned up like that is a disgrace.
  20. John
    At least we're not Leeds!
  21. John
    Bring on Hull!
  22. John
    2-0 was bad enough!
  23. John
    Beyond a joke. How could we lose this one?
  24. John
    I anticipate a fine for their manager because he does not appear to see any problem with what they have done and might otherwise feel he can do the same again without penalty. Did they do it prior to previous games? Most likely but there will not be any points deduction and last night's result probably suits us as Derby are a more realistic target than Leeds are for us.
  25. John
    He is messing them around now a little bit like he messed us around in the previous transfer window. Might his antics be a sign for us to keep clear of him this time around?
