Transfer Speculation / Gossip

Maybe he can play a half for both teams on Sunday and decide at the end, in front of a half-empty Villa Park, that Hull Tigers are ultimately the team for him.

[Jimbo]

My first reaction: oh shit.

[Ryu]

Can we have Huddlestone if they Get Cleverley?

[thick_mike]

Bowery was a success for that one performance against Hull at the end of last season. He had a great game when we needed him to to keep us up. Probably earned his fee and wages with that one game.

Frankly I'd rather sign Anderson from Man United.......Willie Anderson that is!

He should watch that Getting Mauled by the Tigers song on YouTube and come to the conclusion that the US should really be bomibng Hull.

It's a bidding war!

just read that, my office is very quiet at the mo, and I had to make my laugh sound like a cough.

oscar on its way , NO

[JUAN PABLO]

I'd be gutted giving them 8 million for him

[Tony Erdington]

Also:

Luna
Helenius
Bowery

The jury is still out on others, too.

nb I didn't say "massive failure".

ADD TO THAT PAUL ATKINSON

[go on the dog]

8m for T.C. when Xabi Alonso has gone to Bayern for 5m!!!!!!!!!! The worlds mad

In the contect of the exprience he has and what other players are going for, £8 million isn't a lot. It just seems a lot for us as we haven't spent a great deal for some time now.

[JUAN PABLO]

I'd prefer young for 8 , to be honest

[supertom]

8 mill for a player who's marginally better than Westwood is a gamble. The sad truth is we need to fill a void in midfield with a genuinely good player, someone far more up with, and probably beyond Delph's quality. Cleverely might improve us a notch or two but we need a big step up from Westwood, not a small one. The midfield is still a bit shit. We've signed Sanchez to be our water carrier. That's part one done. But we still need a bit of class and guile in there to compliment Delph's energy and the donkey work Sanchez (when he settles) will do. Westwood is not that player and never will be. Cleverely probably wouldn't either.
Unfortunately in our current state it's all about slow and steady improvements. Barring an incredibly fortuitious piece of scouting ala Benteke.

My work here is done.

Kagawa is the better ManU off cast. Still, I would take Cleverley with a smile.
