When we had him on loan from Arsenal a couple of seasons back he played right wing for us. Jackett usually does this with pacey strikers (Grabban), a bit like what Wenger did with Thierry Henry. I would have him back down The Den as a front man. He might not have settled in Hull and I saw the opening game when he came on against Blackpool and missed a sitter. Confidence looks low, but after getting 1 or 2, he could be a right handful.
Good luck to the lad, he'll partner Darius Henderson up top I would of thought. I'm sure he'll bang in the goals, just needs to get some confidence.
we paid £50k with £200k in add-ons. given a good run in team and back darn sarf in hos comfort zone, he will score goals and be a perfect foil for henderson
He did well for us when we had him on a season loan from Arsenal and was our player of the season and was at QPR & West Brom while previously on loan with them. Can't see that he's become a bad player overnight and when you bought him from Arsenal he apparently said prior to that that he'd like to join us but who knows if he actually said it.
The mirror is usually fairly accurate with us and sems to think he's going for £300k. Shame if it's true
If its a loan deal then at least he wont score against you which is always sods laws but a cash deal he may play.
He was very good when on loan to us in 2007 but doesn't seem to have improved since signing for Hull. Looks as thjogh he has put on a lot of weight and isn't as quick as he used to be. However, if we get him for £300k could be another master signing as, coupled with moving back to London, I am sure that KJ will get the best out of him.
His touch and pace have seemed to definately have gown downhill, if he plays ten games without scoring stick by him as he will probably eventually get goals, he is not a 15 a year man though currently, but i would rather Waghorn and Fryatt so not disappointed to see him go.
We wont sell for less than 600K as Arsenal have a clause on him so they get money from him in his next sale. We wont go less than 600K to get something from that.
Last year just after we beat Swindon i woke up with an impressive hard on, as i recalled my dream it was Millwall getting promoted to the Premiership and our star strikers were Jay Simpson and Danny Haynes,maybe my dream was a year early, so if Jay does sign and we pick up Danny in the Christmas transfer window, get your dosh on Millwall to go up this season.
Jay Simpxson is a forward. Its a disgrace that Hull City are even considering letting him go. But so far its just paper talk.
I always am and noticed most of you are OK as its the first time I've started a thread on your board.
