thunderball Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Hernandez would be a terrific signing. Would we still take Bamford on loan? If we are serious we might. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 7 minutes ago, alreadyexists said: Hernandez, McCormack, Gestede, that is one hell of a strike force at this level, since 2014 they've scored a combined goal tally of 95 goals (according to wiki)... All in sides which I would say are inferior to our current starting 11. If we get Hernandez too, we'll be on fire. Problem is though... Ayew McCormack Gestede Grealish.. should be better than our current 4 goals in 4 games. We just dont seem to be creating chances at the moment. McCormack hasnt had too many.. We need a creative link in midfield. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing those four means that the remaining two midfield berths will have to be more defensive minded. Hence Tish & Jedi looking likely. The 4 players that you mention are more than capable of creating for each other. I think that the goals will come. I think we will replace Gestede and I also think a creative midfielder will sign. However, if he starts, it will be at the expense of one of the other four. It will give us options though-If one is having an off day, we can swap things around like for like without weakening anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Hernandez would be a real show of intent. Scored loads last year and has 2 in 2 in the prem. Getting a player who has helped his team win the first 2 games in the premier league would show the belief in the Dr T project these players have. I would be over the moon with this signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I dont see why hernandez needs to drop a division considering how he has started in premier league. Sorry cant see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Hernandez would be an alternative to Gestede rather than a strike partner for him. They pretty much play the same position, just Gestede is a lot stronger in the air and Hernandez on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry cant see it happening. He doesn't need to and possibly won't... it's just the signs suggest it's him - (i) Our interest has been referenced numerous time over the last few weeks by respectable hacks including Murphy (ii) He himself has said he wouldn't hesitate if Villa called (iii) Hull's start is admirable but unlikely to last - he must know that and in fact, some might say their situation is perilous given the pending change of ownership (iv) He apparently has a 10 million clause, which is affordable and cheap. We could lose out to a Prem team for sure, but who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that if he was going to leave I think another premiership club would come in for him, leaving us with no chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need somebody there to feed these guys, and at the moment, its not happening. Also, I hope we do get Hernandez, even though he falls short of the definition of world class to some. Twice I noticed that we tried to counter attack quickly against Derby, only to be over run by their defenders by the time they got to the halfway line. If Hernandez has pace, then he will be great.

Villarocker Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Going out on a limb here guys and going for the world class striker to be Didier Drogba. Plays for Montreal Impact and scored 19 in 25 for them. OK he's past it at Premier League level but maybe Dr Xia sees him as a perfect fit for one season to try to fire us back to the top flight again.

Mostly about money though and whilst all Prem teams are now awash with cash, so (apparently), is the good Doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 No release clause means that Hull can ask whatever they want for him. If for example they want say £18m, then Prem teams might not think he's worth that, given he's unproven in the top flight whereas to us, he might be deemed worth it, because of his season last time out in the Championship.

If we spent anywhere near 18m on Hernandez I would be appalled. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I'd be surprised if the fee was as low as the ten million being talked about, at that price he'd something of a bargain. If he does leave Hull, I can see him costing at least £15m whoever signs him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
