toontownman Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Assuming we have bid the release clause they mention in the article. If so could very well happen quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 We want Knockaert before Fulham according to this: http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/football/newcastle/14653854.Magpies_prepare_for_further_sales_as_Moussa_Sissoko_heads_in_for_talks_over_his_future/?

KaKa Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Happy with the Diame link. Some athleticism in midfield would be amazing. The one midfielder we had with athleticism in Sissoko, ended up playing out wide. Him joining likely relegates Colback to a bench role too. Think it also means Shelvey is unlikely to start games.

Ginola Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Diame's alright but he's really not great. Runs down blind alleys quite a lot and often makes poor decisions in the final third, a lot of my Hull supporting mates got really frustrated by him quite regularly. He didn't really play as a CM last season either, was an attacking midfielder or second striker pretty much all season. Still wouldn't be too disappointed if we did get him though as I think Rafa could turn him into a solid CM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 9 goals last season, could do with that from at least one CM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes_End_Mag Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Diame would be a decent enough buy for this division and would add that extra pace and athleticism that none of our other CM's really have, although i'm not convinced that he's a PL player if we were to go up. Injuries seem to have caused him to regress and really kick on. Be interesting to see if we've actually bid the release clause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHoob Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Hull will be playing 5-a-side at this rate, don't they only have 13 fit first teamers or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Diame would be the ideal replacement for Sissoko - similar style and athleticism but an end product too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes_End_Mag Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Diame would be the ideal replacement for Sissoko - similar style and athleticism but an end product too.

geordie_b Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Strange I was just thinking about Diame yesterday, always liked him but I think he is a bit of MOTD highlights player. Definitely a budget Sissoko Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 If we sell Tiote, Sissoko and Thauvin I hope we bring in three new players at least. Those three are all above Championship standard so I'd really hope we wouldn't only try and buy Diame. Knockaert, Diame + at least a new left-back would be ideal. I unlike many think our striking force will be enough for the season. Mitro, Gayle and Perez + Armstrong as backup I believe is enough for now.

The fans on Twitter said they have 12 fit first team players, and 6 of them have handed in transfer requests. Ridiculous that tbh, I feel for Hull fans. Diame is a decent player, plenty of experience of the championship at 29 and scored 10 goals last year but hes a CAM and I'm not he can play in a 2 in midfield Even though we brought Hayden in, we need to bring a specialist defensive midfielder to replace Tiote. Lucas would be a brilliant signing but a bit of a pipe dream Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legs in midfield is something we have been missing badly especially with colback and Anita centre midfield last year Not like you to have absolutely no idea what is going on, but one of the last criticisms you could make about Anita is that he doesn't "have legs."
