Don't know if anyone's mentioned it but with all the talk if homegrown players, then wouldn't Holtby qualify as one of these as he is half English...
Sorry if it's already been discussed

Home grown isn't to do with nationality it is the number of years spent in a nations accademy system - like siggy owing to his youth in reading. So Holtby doesn't qualify

City spending hundreds of millions might have something to do with it.
Fair comment, but Toms played in squads that had Berba, Keane, Modders,VDV, Ledley!! Are we so much better off as a squad now? It's debatable, just a thought before we big ourselves up as usual.

Can I just say, from what Ive been told, the fact that Tom, Jake and Scotty have all but departed us, expect a bid for eriksen.

I'd consider Hudd/Livermore/Parker to be replaced by Paulinho and Capoue. Assuming Carroll is loaned out too and we play 4-3-3, Sandro, Capoue, Dembele, Paulinho, Sig, Holtby provides quality in depth and is versatile enough that everyone should get enough game time to be relatively happy.

I certainly wouldn't complain if Eriksen was added to that too and he's probably a better first choice creator than any of the others, but we are getting greedy!

No mention of the Hudd transfer fee on the official site. Rumours suggesting it's a bit north of 5m, but I'd love some ITK on what the figure actually is.

Regarding the Journalist I've criticised him wrongly in the past I have to admit. However this window his info has been bang on. He didn't comment infer Benteke was even remotely near done when almost every other ITK was suggesting it was. Also info on Hudd and Jake was spot on like you said. Fair play to him.

Let's just hope he's right on Bale too :love:

Edit: The Journalist also mentioned we were interested in Eriksen 2 weeks ago or so; ties in with Ryan's info.

Without sounding like a suck up, I went on record earlier this window to say that the Journo is an ITK I have always listened to.

I have delievered a bit of ribbing in the past for the Farfan/Hunterlaar stuff but I would say they are the only blotch on a pretty good copy book. You have to remember he isn't a spurs ITK in the first instance but gets good info.

You don't need ITK for that. It's 5.25 a record for Hull City. Tom is now a pub trivia answer

Eriksen's situation is like the flame to Levy's moth.
Short contract, long term interest/scouting, moderate fee & now seemingly unfulfilled potential.
Levy would lie awake at night if he let someone else pick him up for £8-10m.

Wrong thread for it.

But those players were at different times. The only way we'll see is by going through the season. On paper we've got a great squad but who knows? Soldado and paulinho may turn out to be flops and carroll could turn out to be our star player. We'll see.

Fair play to The Journalist, didn't he call Hudd to Hull first? I may be wrong though.

Adebayor offer of Beskitas and another east European club. Expecting his departure after palace with a possible replacement. Defoe expected to stay but very possible he will be gone. Avb wanting lamela and/or willian.

Eriksen would be a decent signing, he would add to our creativity, but I fear signing him would push Siggy out the door.

Also I would sooner we used that money to add Ceontrao and either Lamela or Willian.

I noticed you have been posting a fair bit of just more than opinion. Is this ITK? have you been verified through Mods? enjoying the input regardless
