Summer Rumour Mill

[SamUltraRam]

I've convinced myself that Warne will sign a big lump as centre forward to convert the crosses into the box, rather than a mobile striker

We already have a lump. He’s slow and has a Teflon touch.

Why not both

[Keepyuppy]

Of only we had plzyete who could actually cross a fevent ball and take a decent corner - our crossing is abysmal  N M-L, Sibley, Dobbin, even Bird ffs. 

Only Roberts and Barks can cross  ball - this is one of the reasons why we haven't scored enough goals !!

Is that Elder the younger?

Jarrod Bowen, Harry Maguire, Andy Robertson may all contest that statement. 

Bar Bowen and goal scorers always attract attention, weren't Hull in the premier league at the time and they excelled in a poor side.  Can't see Hull being anything other than a mid table championship side or lower for a long time.  If they excel for them it's probably a move to a better championship side.  They were better off 3 years ago at a club like ours pushing for promotion.  It would be a big backward step for short term gain as I see it.

And you may be right. Only the player and their agent will know what they think is best for them and their career. I just think it’s interesting that we haven’t seen more consideration/rumours of Rosenior potentially bidding for those players, regardless of anyone’s perception of Hull as a club, they are currently in the league above, they may have a budget of sorts to spend, and knowing some of our players well I won’t see it as a massive surprise if Rosenior comes calling to test our resolve.

Roberts - 0.5 accurate crosses per 90.

Hourihane (2.1), Mendez-Laing (1.4), White (1.2), Barkhuizen (1.0), Sibley (0.9), Smith (0.5) and Rooney (0.5) all found someone with a cross more often. For games where players started on the wing or full back, Springett (0.8), Forsyth (0.8) and Dobbin (0.6) all did better too.

He took Ebiowei on loan, if that counts.

Hard to say. The current owner has a reasonable personal fortune, less than Clowes I believe. As a club they average gates of around 17-18,000. I guess it depends on how well ran they are currently. 
Reading some posters comments you wouldn’t need a lot of money to bid for some of our players, whereas other posters suggest you’d need billions to even come close to signing Jason Knight.

Taking people’s opinions about Hull as a city or club out of the conversation for a moment, I am just posing the question could we see Rosenior bid for any of our players this summer? If Hull have a budget of sorts, (remembering that transfer fees can be, and normally are, spread over several years) I wouldn’t be that surprised if he/they did.

I know 2 things about Hull

1) John 2 jags Prescott lives there 

and 2) Ideal Boilers are made there and they still owe me 1500 quid for unnecessarily reworking my CH and paying for specialist leak detectors when it was their defective boiler that was leaking all along. And they blooming well knew !

That's how I felt about Jamie Paterson
