joeyt Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Jakupovic? Really? 32 years old and only played about 20 games in the Prem. You say aim higher about defenders but surely that applies with our goalkeeper situation too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Maguire's only turned 24 and shown a lot of promise this season. Cahill only went to Chelsea at 26. He could turn out to be shite but well worth a punt if available at a reasonable price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 He's considerably better than anything we've got, wouldn't cost too much and would be a good short term option which allows us to focus on spending big in other areas of the pitch. But yes, we probably should be aiming for better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I think Jakupovic would be an extremely uninspiring signing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymour Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Im really not sure about Maguire, he's hit decent form this season, but hes been bang average for Hull for the majority He's been their best player ever since he broke into the side. This season aye? But this is his first season thats hes had regular first team football for Hull He only started 22 league games for them the season before in the championship Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I think if we sign a CB it needs to be one in the £15-20m bracket who is completely proven and clearly better than out top three. I like Maguire but not sure he's the man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lxsln Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Why do so many want Joshua King? Take away 2017 and he have 15 goals in 150 games or something. Cisse mk2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Well he's been brilliant in 2017 for a pretty average team which is why people want him. Looks like he's finally reaching his potential and his pace would fit in well here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a part-time player until recently hasn't he? Think he played mostly on the wing for Blackburn as well. True. Mainly used as a winger and even as a number 10 up until now in Bournemouth. Has developed tremedously this season and really blossomed after he got the chance as their main striker. That said - I'm not really sure if he would be a good investment right now. Seems to thrive under Eddie Howe and needs to build on what he has done this spring. A move might be disruptive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na, it was certainly him. 2012 ish under Pardew. Found this, http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11678/8133382/newcastle-united-linked-with-transfer-bid-for-manchester-uniteds-joshua-king couple of sources saying we we're looking in to him, but remember that BR ITK saying he turned us down before BR finalised the deal.

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Defence is completely a team effort, because their team record isn't great doesn't mean they are not individually good players. ( i don't know either way) If there's one thing Rafa excells at it would be putting a team together which is organised and make them defend at a high level.

ponsaelius Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Jakupovic is poor. Genuinely no better than any of our current goalies. Before his little run of form this season he was seen as a joke figure to Hull fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I can actually comment on most of his career funnily enough. My other half is from the same canton in Switzerland as him and he played for the same youth teams as relatively close friends. He's basically a local celebrity so his career was always followed closely. He also played for Lokomotiv Moscow who a good friend supports and he never established himself as first choice there. He's basically been a journeyman for most of his career, and was 2nd and 3rd choice at Hull until this season. Although he was highly rated as a young kid in the Swiss set-up way back.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Maguire would be an upgrade on most of our current CBs. Would be happy with him. Saw rumours of Morgan from Leicester today, that'd be fucking horrific - such a clogger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
