Watched him closely a few times.
Known of him much longer than most.
Initially a very talented midfield player as a lad, was at the Hull academy from a young age.
Struggled around the time of his growth spurt but came through it and developed into a defender. So is decent with the ball.
Played regularly for a few years, albeit under some poor coaches and alongside some pretty poor players.
Would by very exposed at premier league level, and a long way from good enough. Has too many errors in him, isn’t very quick, and gets caught out positionally. Still young however so there is time for him.
Any talk of fees over £2/3m is ridiculous and far too risky….see Trusty as a fine example of that and he came from Arsenal Not hills academy, which was level 3 for most of his development.
As per any fan, theirs will talk up the quality of their player, even more so if he’s “one of their own”…we are as bad.
£3m absolute maximum fee dependant on meeting certain targets. Chuck a sell on percentage in as well.
He needs a lot of work, they demand more then let someone else take the risk and walk away, but I suspect Hull may have spent well over the P&S since their new owner arrived, and will need to rake some money back in.
