Bill Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 What the papers say on the official site is saying they are looking at the Hull city centre half, 23 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 I'd have him as back-up only. He doesn't look the part but I've actually been quite impressed by him recently. I remember him being touted as a top prospect a few years ago when at Sheff Utd. If we were to get rid of Jags this window then this wouldn't be a bad option in my opinion at around £6m max. I love his marauding runs from the back reminds me of a young Craig Short! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Blue Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Playing well, steps up well, good on the ball, calm, and a good header. So far impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 I was impressed with him when we played them recently. He's a unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 He's a bit like Stones but better built and can defend. I'd take him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 He's impressed this season. Id say from what I've seen I'd take him over Curtis Davies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 I'd rather give one of our own a chance to take a bench role myself. Because that's all he'd be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit more advanced than Pennington, and Foulds. I think Galloway and Holgate are on a par, maybe just behind. He looks quality tho, bit like Stones but without the arsing around.

He looks quality tho, bit like Stones but without the arsing around. He's certainly looked decent in these semi-final games but before this I've thought he was a bit of a lump. It wasn't that long ago he couldn't even get in this Hull side and there was talk of him being loaned back to Sheff U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd only want him if Jags leaves as we'd look very light at the back if Williams got injured. I'd be happy with another one of our young lads playing alongside Williams but think we need another more physical player or someone with a little more know how in the event that Williams were to be injured or suspended. I think CB will be a priority in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 I would take him and let jags join the Everton reunion band at Everton Lite, I mean Sunderland. Need 5 CB if we play 3 at the back. Williams, Holgate, Mori, Galloway, Maguire, with Pennington on loan developing sounds good to me.

Williams, Holgate, Mori, Galloway, Maguire, with Pennington on loan developing sounds good to me. only problem is Galloway is at west brom. only options are pennington to come up and help us. to romey's point, he's already been on loan a bunch, first team bench might help matthew more than another loan. depends on price for me, if he's cheap, why not. if he's not cheap then no thanks.

Peter H Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 He does seem to like to bring the ball forward into attack. I like that in a defender but i still think that Holgate is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant for next season. I would still buy him this window. Pennington had a bad injury and I think a season at a top Championship or PL club (Not West Brom) who help him than bench warming for us.

StevO Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Not good enough. Looked decent in a very poor Hull side, but not more than decent. He tries to run out with the ball, but I just see him losing possession when he gets down the other end. I'd be very disappointed if we signed him.

Bill Posted January 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) Was signed for one and a half million, won the player of the season, and best young player of the season, and was selected in the championship team of the year. He must have something about him. Think I read they are looking for £7m seems ok for decent cover, or we could always bring Duffy back.

He tries to run out with the ball, but I just see him losing possession when he gets down the other end. I'd be very disappointed if we signed him. I would assume that, if we are looking at him, we are looking at his attributes and potential, rather than how polished he is at 23. Does he have the tools to be a very good player? In what I've seen of him, he looks like he has bags of potential, but that he's a bit rough around the edges. If we brought him in and helped to refine his game, he could become a valuable member of the XI or a valuable commodity on the market. Either way, for 7-8m (if there's truth to that price), we should be snapping him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Controversial Romey ha ha. I've not seen much of him until recently. He looks a unit but he is deceptively quick. Personally I think he'll be going for a a lot more than £7 mill. Van Arnolt is going for £14 mill!!! I know it's different positions but even so. I think he is a good option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nogs Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Looked a good young player at Sheff Utd, not seen much of him at Hull tbh, got decent reviews in Championship. Dunno why anybody would be against it for £7m, even if he turns out to be cover that's the market rate these days.
