Shame really, under a decent owner we could probably pick Bielik up for 4-5 million.
Young, would double in price after a decent champ season, and definitely has the quality we need.
A decent owner? When did we pay fees like that? That's "what we paid for Darren Bent" money. I don't know what our transfer record is, outside of the top flight, but I would guess its half that. If that.
You are aware how much football has changed even since we dipped to league 1?
An owner who wants promotion from this league needs to be prepared to spend 8-10 million at a minimum. Even Sheffield United threw a bit of money about last year.

I am very much aware how much the championship has changed, I keep tell people who think we will be pushing for the play offs.
I think an owner who is prepared to finance these sort of signings would be a bit better than "decent" don't you?

The sad reality is, that even in the championship, 4-5 million is becoming a smaller and smaller amount.
Wolves, Villa, Derby etc etc have all spent exorbitant amounts of money. If we want to cement ourselves as a decent mid table side occasionally pushing for playoffs we’d need an owner to spend a bit.

Nowadays a Darren Bent type player goes to the Prem for more than we sold him to Spurs for.
The Championship has changed a lot in the last few years we’ve been out of it. It’s now normal for average clubs to pay the sort of money we did for a signing in our early Prem years.

Sorry I know its "normal" now, it's also normal for championship clubs to loose boat loads of cash every year. I now know its not what @Laddick01 ment but there seems to be a lot of people implying that the "club" has money and Roland is just not spending it and a "decent" owner would.
The harsh reality, is as you say, you need to spend a lot of money to compete in this league now. As an aside the season Richard Murray "really went for it" signing Mendonca and Holmes we spent in todays money £3,000,000 (adjusted for inflation). Not sure what that would get you today.
Have a mate who is currently in the academy, he's currently under a pro deal and have been informed by him that oztumer was at the training ground the Monday before the first team headed off to Spain, however he's informed me that he was aware that there was trouble agreeing the contract and it is now deal off and he hasn't been seen there since. He has told me of a new player at the ground however he doesn't know the players name and can only say that he had dreads..
Rules Eaves out then, unless he went Glastonbury..
Villa closing in on Konsa for £12m. Would be nice if Bower and Gallen get the sell-on fee to use in the market, but we all know it’s going straight in Roland’s back pocket..
Other than Cullen and Bielik who it is clear bowyer would like to return, not including baldock who else is there we are currently linked with who still hasn't found a club? seems very dead currently

I'm taking that as a positive, why sign Eaves now when we can sign Mane once the takeover goes through next week ….

Jokes aside he is a solid player and it's a good signing for Hull, big strong, useful for set pieces either end, has the character to play in big games with feisty crowds and games where we will struggle when we're up against it the ball could have stuck with him plus we could have played Allardyce ball.
I do wonder if Hull are going to be the Ipswich of this year though. Ipswich finished around mid table before they were relegated and had a similar style of manager like Hull. Ipswich replaced Mick with a manager who came up short in the play offs, Hull have replaced Adkins with a manager who came up short in the play offs. Both managers recruitment was and is picking up the best league1 players available. Reckon they are worth a bet in an acca to go down

Pretty sure he's nothing to do with CAFC too - are you thinking of Deren Ibrahim of Gibraltar?

Abraham Odoh perhaps.
