Jak to Fulham?

Sorry if this has been posted already, but only just saw it. First to jump off the sinking ship?

Hull City goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic is being monitored by Championship clubs as he considers his future.

Fulham are among the clubs monitoring his situation.

The 32-year-old had a good start to the season as Hull's No 1 but was dropped following the 4-1 defeat at Arsenal.

He was replaced by David Marshall who has since conceded 14 goals in four games prior to Saturday's game with Stoke City.

The Bosnian-born Swiss joined the Tigers in 2012 from Aris Salonika but has never been a regular for the Humberside outfit.

Jakupovic has only been able to rack up 33 appearances during his time with Hull, who loaned him out to Leyton Orient on two separate occasions.

Allan McGregor, David Stockdale and now Marshall have been chosen ahead of the former Grasshoppers goalkeeper, who has been capped once by Switzerland.

Jakupovic signed a two-year extension with the Tigers in the summer

Jakupovic is under contract at the KCOM Stadium until 2018, he signed a two year extension in June after stepping in to cover for McGregor at the crucial end to last season.

Meanwhile, Hull captain Michael Dawson could return to action in Saturday's Premier League clash against Stoke City after three months on the sidelines with a knee injury.

The 32-year-old, who injured knee ligaments during pre-season, made 32 starts in the Championship last term as Hull earned promotion to the Premier League after a year in the second tier.

Would be **** if so, and speaks volumes of the way we're treating him.

 

If true I don't blame him for wanting to move on. He must be wondering what he has to do to be our starting GK. Whoever gets him will be getting a damn good keeper. I won't be surprised if we let him go for a fraction of the 5 mill. we reportedly paid for Marshall.

 

He's not worth much, we'd be lucky to get anywhere near a million IMO.
I've no idea why we'd get rid of the back up, obviously Kuciak will be gone in January, he'll be wondering why he came here in the first place, but with McG unknown how he'll return it is a huge risk, unless Mannion is going to get the nod as back up, or maybe first choice in the Championship, if we don't stay up.

 

I think Marshall would stay if we go down, we hardly lured him from a PL rival.

 

Surely he'll be going to Man U or Chelsea rather than Fulham?

 

Sarcasm aside, I wouldn't be surprised if someone like Watford looked at him as a second keeper but it seems like a rare occurrence of a keeper preferring to play.

 

Yes, agree, he must be wondering what he has to do to get a game. Just wondering at what point MP will want to make Jak feel part of the team and give him a game, "ala Keane?!" I think he epitomised the team spirit they had going at start of season, the never say die attitude, the team did have confidence in him. Not so sure that's the case now after seeing Dawson having a right go at Marshall on Sat'day for being indecisive at coming out for a few balls.

 

Jak was brilliant at marshalling - no pun intended - his defence, and pulled off some great saves against Swansea and United. The defence was forging a good bond with him and now it's been unsettled. I fully expect him to start against Bristol and I guess we see what happens.

 

It was written somewhere in a player interview that there were two people that you didn't cross. One was MacGregor and the other Jak. When I see a player screaming at the crowd for encouragement I want 11 of them wearing my teams shirt. Not some of the marshmallows we have playing now.

 

Ive seen a bit of discussion and media articles recently taking the finger of blame away from Marshall yet I think they're missing the point - nobody I know is blaming Marshall, they're annoyed / dismayed that The Jak was dropped without any discernible reason given.

He'd made a fine start to the season, was one of our better performers, and - one would imagine - was part of that 'tight bond' and siege spirit mentality that was created over the summer.So what message does it send to the rest of the squad - his mates - when he is dropped for a new shiny arrival? It is coincidence that the never say die spirit and willingness to put all of their bodies on the line has become almost non-existent since? I'd guess not.

 

Agreed. I found it odd that more wasn't made of it, new signings should have to fight for their place and if they can get in, they should know they can be just as easily taken out.

See above.

You're surprised more wasn't made of it? Bloody hell, how much fuss were you expecting over our third choice keeper not starting? We've had thread after thread insisting that we'd suddenly be fine if only Jakupovic was playing.

 

Do you think phelan would bring him in against Watford? I think he deserves it but just don't see it happening regardless of how he plays.

 

How is being monitored by another club jumping off a sinking ship? He hasn't expressed a desire to leave because we aren't doing well.

 

Good point, but there'll be plenty who will use the sinking ship analogy in the next few weeks and want to see mutiny in the ranks etc whether it exists or not. Football fans (and sometimes I think particularly ours) like to wallow in the misery a bit.

 

Of course we may all be overlooking the obvious here, apart from Phelans inabilities and that is the ****wit first born has told Phelan who is playing having spent his hard earned.

 

No we haven't , just people questioning why he was dropped and wondering if the same applies to Marshall or if he gets to start whatever

Just to clarify neither of them are world class but from what I've seen I would prefer Jak in there
