Not sure I'd want us spending that money on a loan signing rather get a permanent. I guess its worth it if they go up but a risky one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True they are in more of a position where they can push, we are in our first season after financial constraints lasting 2 years give or take. Sometimes you have to take that leap, it's about timing I guess...and perhaps the squad isn't there yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 Carvalho is an insane signing. But don’t worry, our squad is truly what a top 6 squad looks like. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A front four of Carvalho, Tufan, Philogene with Delap/Connolly up top. If they aren’t top 6 this season then it’s a joke. We’re miles off competing with that imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a stunning signing at this level But also went through a spell under their previous owner when they spent nothing. They have headroom because of this. To get back on topic I would not be at all surprised to see Twine recalled by Burnley & end up with us now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a stunning signing at this level You're forgetting we've just got over our non parachute push back in 19/20 when we spent millions on Kalas, Massengo, Wells, Palmer, Dasilva, Bentley, Nagy ect. When Hull we're taken over they were in a very healthy position to go for it. If they don't go up they will have to watch their spending sometime like we did. I think we should be spending more by the way to compete but I'm not sure that represents us loaning a very expensive signing like this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disagreeing, we had the wrong manager back then for a spending spree for sure, what a waste. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Rs Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 Buzzing we’ve already played Hull twice this season! Connolly Philogene Delap Carvalho That is a ridiculous attack for what is currently a midtable side, can see them making a push second half of the season, but with the amount of loans they have it would be Sheffield United v2 in the prem next season for them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would not be because Sheffield United have an owner who wants out and isn't all that wealthy by football let alone Saudi Prince standards. Ilicali at Hull is a man in a hurry, his main complaint within a few months was that he couldn't push to compete more with Parachute Payments. He would spend in the PL without doubt, headroom permitting. Hull are 6th or 7th aren't they, not midtable so not quite sure of your point here?

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 He is a man the Hull owner who said he trebled the wage will by summer 2022 from his low takeover and he doesn't mind throwing money away as he remembers being poor- he'll possibly spend as much as he can FFP permitting.

On the evidence of our two games only, Hull need to strengthen at the back, not upfront. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah my bad, got them mixed up with Middlesbrough somehow. Still, even if they have an owner willing to spend I don’t see how they make it stick when realistically they would have to replace almost an entire starting midfield, 2/4 decent forwards and potentially another as they’ll struggle to keep hold of Philogene. And as was mentioned already, their defence isn’t near the standard of the rest of team anyway so that would need reinforcement, same with probably a new keeper. You’re looking at the very least 8 players imo that would have to be better than what they already have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re looking at the very least 8 players imo that would have to be better than what they already have. Tufan is a Turkish International, European experience. Or is he deeper. £100m in TV money plus other revenue streams plus an owner willing to spend..potential to upgrade in certain positions. It's the other end of the pitch that needs work moreso IMO. 8 players plus some depth yeah but the only thing possibly holding him back is spending rules.

Think he’s a very good player Carvalho but feel like they’re better off strengthening at the back than up front 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
