Just read that maddison to hull is a loan to end of season with a view to perm. Paying a loan fee to the posh.
Obviously good signing for them, but a really odd one when you think of it. In the short term, everyone is happy.
He’s definitely using Hull to play games in the Championship and hope for a better move in the summer for more money and a signing on bonus.
Be interesting how the deal is structured. Is there an obligation on either side (like some of the option for a further year contracts)? Or is it try and see for both
Matt isn't going to put hes reputation on the line with all the stuff he is saying
I don't think that super deal phone is JCH
I think we have someone completely under the radar lined up.
JHC, loan signing, Big signing
That's my prediction
Agreed, Ive thought all along that they will get the 'marquee' in under the radar. That should help a few mattresses dry out among certain fans over the weekend.
The Marquee signings would be Taylor and Cullen. This window we are looking to add to the squad with unwanted players at other clubs. Great to see Matt enjoying his job and engaging with the fan base.
Reckon all clubs will have their absolute ceiling they'll go to for a player, just like we do. Fingers crossed £4m is above all those showing an interest in LT. Got a suspicion it most probably is, and even £3m was a little trumpy for them
Must be at least one more to be announced as last night Southall said 'medicals' implying more than one signing was close. McGeady was obviously one of them.
Perhaps Doherty and JCH?
Docherty signed last night as well. I'm confident of that.

That would be great if it 2/3 more on top of Docherty
I honestly belive it's up to Lyle (we all know it actually isn't) at least not till the summer. However I feel if he looks LB and MS in the eyes and says look I want to go that will be it and they won't stand in his way. I hate to say sometimes football is about more than just what the fans want to see.
I have a feeling we can afford (financially) to let him rot in the reserves for 6 months if he so chooses and I hope that sways his thought process.
The smart thing would be to offer him a 6 month contract on what Brentford are offering him. Cheaper and less risky than any other possibility.
You are saying offer Lyle a new contract now for 6 months, improving his terms but then let him walk in the summer for free or am I missing something?
We could just let him see out his contract on his current wage and let him go for free in the summer anyway! Or offer him 3 years at what he wants
Not claiming to be ITK here but my friend who texted me saying Bowyer did not know about RD statement in the summer and was going to stay has just texted me and said we have bid around 1m for the Bristol Rovers striker Clarke-Harris
Can't wait for the pelters if it does not come off.
An offer has been accepted apparently. We are now talking to the player.

Wonder if this was the player we was in for in the summer and went back in for last night?
’Ha, he was kicked out of the squad and put with the u23’s and told he could leave as he was being “disruptive” - apparently didn’t like Phil P who then just pushed him out.
If you saw Sunderland till I die he was quite critical of Chris Coleman on camera as well. It’s been simmering since Jack Ross left. He is a talent, but we have actually improved since he went out of the team!
He is a very skill full player and capable of a flash of brilliance but he does slow the play down and doesn’t fit with Parkinson’s pressing Lg1 style!’
Having watched the Netflix doc, McGeady had a point:
On Coleman’s managerial methods:
“If a player keeps making the same mistake, show them the mistake they are making. I’ve had managers before who come in and go crazy. He just kind of comes in and it’s, ‘We could have done this better, right, sound, move on’. It’s just kind of an acceptance of, ‘That’s OK’. You come into training a couple of days later and everyone is laughing and joking and we’ve just been beaten 3-0 at home.”

I'm confident of that.

There you have it.
Jonson Clarke-Harris is almost certainly one name
Greg Docherty another
Parrott or Idah perhaps?
Maddison is now a very long shot
Will there be a name or two that come completely out of the blue? (McGeady was only mentioned a few hours before the deal)

If he has can someone share it. Certainly isnt on his twitter.
