Leicester Ram Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Guzan's probably better than us too, I'd expect he'd interest some European teams. Probably the sort of player who should be looking to play Europa League right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEL Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 You could be right AR. Anyway we're signing Rene Higuita and Romario in the summer what a signing that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hull paid about £2m for Ince, so that's what I would offer them... plus the wages they've spent out on him. It's incredibly difficult for someone like Hull to turn down decent money for a player that has no purpose and role at the club. It's similar to Thorne at WBA. I'd say we will be interested in a goalkeeper for the reasons I've mentioned. Nothing to do with what Grant can or can't do. I just think Steele will want something special to work with - a new De Gea project for him. I wouldn't at all be surprised if we tried to bring Wisdom back, either, despite his flop at West Brom.

DEL Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Or was that £2m compensation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuff264 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 It was £2.3m compensation. He was free agent though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needles Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Ince has scored spectacular goals, but he needs teeing up. Much prefer Johnny Russell in all around play, and I'm not convinced Ince will score regularly in the Prem. Certainly wouldn't entertain £5m. He's flopped at Hull so I wouldn't want to be giving them their money back, £1m max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramblur Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Not a Nixon rumour, but in today's match report in the Sun it says we'll have a 25 million budget if we go up, and we'll try and sign Ince for 5 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needles Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Really? I would suggest that by and large he teed himself up at both Bournemouth and for his first goal at Rotherham, carrying the ball across the edge of the penalty area and beating a man on each occasion - and his second one at Rotherham was hardly 'teed up' either - it was a remarkably difficult finish well executed. All three were every bit as good as the finest goal Johnny Russell has scored for Derby (in the 5-0 destruction of the Gumps). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Hmm, you're right, I guess I need to refine my point a bit - Ince comes alive when there's a sniff of a shot. Doesn't do so much elsewhere. I think that those edge of the box positions he's taken advantage of so nicely would be less frequent and better defended in the Prem and if he can't add more to the team effort then he might prove to be a flop. As seems to have happened at Hull. I'm being harsh, I like the lad, but I'm yet to be convinced he can consistently deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I guess it all comes down to what you would class as consistently deliver. I mean, he's played over a 1000 less minutes than Russell and only one goal away from scoring the same amount. Although, he hasn't recorded an assist yet. In this system, over the course of a season, I'd back Ince to get more than 20 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Championship, maybe, but in the Prem? Don't get me wrong, Loving the lad, that free kick was Idiakezesque. Just not quite convinced over the piece that he's got the tools to be the main man in that position. He's certainly earn the shirt for a week or two to prove me wrong though.

r4derby Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I think Ince needs to be judged after a longer spell of games. In the 5 games he has played, he has scored important goals that have won us points. Which, at the end of the season, will be what counts. We had the same debate about Bamford last year "Yes, he scores goals, but he doesn't do much else as a winger, and he's too lightweight to be Martin" At the end of the day, Bamford's goals won us points.I suppose the real debate is, if Hull said £5 million is his valuation, would we say ok. It's alot, but in the Prem that's the going rate for a squad player. Personally, based on Ince's form for us and his time at Blackpool (similar formation and position and the way he ran games at a much younger age) its a yes from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inter politics Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Too early to make a proper judgement on Ince.Clearly has talent, a wand of a left foot but can he do it on a consistent enough basis (for whatever fee Hull may settle on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kevin Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 If Thorne is worth £2m then Ince isn't worth £5m ,but then again if it was £2m we nicked him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
