Danny Brough

Quote: jools "Huddersfield would not happily sell their best player when they don't need the money.
They got a nice fee for ferres, and that alongside his wages coupled with those of the other vice captain Luke Robinson mean even after bringing in brierley they are still in pocket.
Brough certainly isn't acting or playing like a player who wants out. I suspect this is just the annual rumour mill, made worse by some particularly nasty rumours about his personal life doing the rounds. Hes been signing for you every other year since he came to hudds hasn't he?
If it's what he wants then fair play- but you are going to have to pay enough that hudds can replace him with a player of better quality -and that will be costly as Thurston won't come cheap I'm certain they won't, said all along that it's Hudds that are holding the reins, here. But we have the age-old dilemma of what to do if a player has decided he doesn't want to play for you anymore. Hang onto his shirt tails wailing "But you're contracted for another 2 years..." and stomach the fact that his heart isn't in it?

Not saying this is what has happened here as I've no idea what conversations Brough has had with Huddersfield, but rumblings have been going on for weeks and a poster upthread has heard he has been given permission to leave. It's conjecture, but as you'll know from the Brierley saga, when this sort of conjecture hangs around like a bad smell, it's usually because there's something in it.

Not sure what you mean about him coming back to Hull being a recurring rumour every couple of years, this is the first time I've heard it mooted, although it's not the first time I've heard Hull fans say they'd like to see him back, mind

As for the money, not sure anything is left in the pot from the Lineham and Westerman donations from Wire, but it may be that Pearson has these or other resources to speculate with a view to accumulation. Who knows?

Is Thurston a fair swap for Brough if Danny wants out and his heart isn't in it? Not sure on that. Would you consider Pryce plus ANOther?

Anyway, we muse only. Probably off to Mrs Brough's team of the heart, Rovers. Albert Jelly's not doing it for them for one reason or another this season.
