Emerald Isle Rover

If hold fire until it’s confirmed from rovers that it’s something we are exploring Similar with the baker/travis rumours doing the rounds which was rubbish

If true we have the power to dictate a price we know hull have money and if he’s not pushing/wanting out then we have a lot of leverage wouldnt sell him anyway

Biased as stated before

I agree delay isn’t that good but I’m debating the points your making because you haven’t researched you said how has he progressed - it’s very simple the season before last he had less games less goals less assists - last season he played a lot more got more goals got more assists - it’s the definition of progression and again if you can show me the value of unproven 29 year olds going for more than 12 million then il happily apologise

Based on the year previous again do a little research it’s not hard to find

I genuinely can’t understand how a lot of rovers fans cannot grasp this but yes spot on

He’s worth 100million to rovers does that mean that’s what we get? id disagree with your second part of it was like that he would have been sold weeks ago we negotiated what was at the very least reasonable point is and always will be being 29 next month has took millions off his value and to add to that having never played in a top league before will have went against the price there was one team in for him because he’s a risk (one worth taking in my view) at his age with little experience

You must have missed the main part about age then yea? Help is 21 he’s 8 years on Sammie so effectively a better ceiling. Do I think he’s worth 20 no do I think Sammie is worth more than 9 yes I’m simply stating that age is a massive factor when it comes to transfer fees especially those who have never played in a top division before it’s crap I know but it’s true

All entitled to their opinion but the opinion is with unconscious bias towards rovers. It’s very simple to do some research to show how much 29 year olds go for and when you taken into consideration it’s been a one off (so far) never played higher level than championship wanted to go to prem all those factors the fee was in and around the right amount

Just looking at gueye ohashi and Germain all very very good in the air. Whilst for me goalkeeper needs to be the main priority and some pace in the team (not all pacy wingers have good delivery) we need someone who excels in crossing/set pieces someone who is reliable with deliveries. Brittains cross yesterday was sublime and very brave from ohashi

Could we afford him?

Like who?

Again your knowledge or lack of is frightening but you do you sir

Travis was absolutely superb against derby and only for the subs scoring and getting the headlines his performance was overlooked bar 25mins yday he was exactly what we want him to be so again how you’ve come to the conclusion in 2 games he’s been shite speaks volumes of yourself rather than realistic views/opinions

The fact you don’t have Travis in there speaks volumes of your lack of footballing knowledge

Another who I would suggest is waiting for a loss to then come on this platform for the ‘I told you so’ accolade

Based on what may I ask?

You could argue szmodics was/is a one season wonder yet fans on here were expecting 15/20million for him at his age

Is he not on 15 this season?

I agree 100% but we all got excited about Leo and he turned out to be worse i would prefer experience at some level ideally iversen (not sure how realistic that is) before a ruddy

Agree with this 100% im fully behind replacing pears but it’s not just that simple the goalkeeping position is probably the hardest hull new goalkeeper had a howler during the week too kaminski has had a shocking start to the season also along with the ones you have mentioned it’s def an area/priority position needing addressed but it’s a difficult one

Or Nixon is talking nonsense which would be a lot more realistic yes he’s been better this year but 6million for a player for rovers - can’t see it hope I’m wrong

I cannot see in any world how we would be paying 6million for stansfield lol as much as I would love that to be right history with these clowns would suggest not

No but balance is required derby at home did we expect to win - I did and most did and we did (they went on to beat boro yday) Norwich away after losing szmodics very decent first half and poor second half draw good result especially after giving away the lead and seemingly ready to concede another we found a bit about us again to score late on - game of two halves 4/6 good return with cup win to boot

Soon to be 22 12 goals and 2 asssits in a relegated team first proper season in championship is pretty good again age and ceiling come into play with valuation
