I missed that what did Agar say?

Wouldn't confirm or deny, the way he came across a little coy makes me think that the deal isn't dead.

Thanks for the info. Lets hope for some positive news this week.

All depends on how silly Crusaders get with their asking price, can't imagine we will be held to ransom.

It's all about negotiations, Crusaders want the max they can get and I reckon Hull have a limit they will offer at some stage there has to be some give or the ckub walks away and looks at other targets.

Thing is its a bit of a juggling act in a way as to how long do you keep trying to keep a player that wants a move as you could risk screwing up any sort of relationship with said player which then has an affect on the team as a whole as its a huge negative.

As we know every player has a price (and you'd be very naive to think otherwise) its whether a club is prepared to pay that price.

Exactly and from Hull's perspective if Crusaders don't appear to be showing any give then you have to say enough is enough and go to other options. It's clear we are in for the player and that he wants to come but that does not mean the deal will be done.

Agree with you Paul, its a kind of 'who's going to break/give in first' situation.

Was down at Ionians yesterday morning, all the boys looked in great shape. Don't know if they all looked too happy to be there with them pitches half frozen, though

I think the fact that we're still in negotiations shows that our board thinks there's a deal to be done. Our board would of walked away by now otherwise.

I agree. I hope that they are really pushing for him now and using all their power to bring him to Hull.

Agree on that hopefully there's still a good chance.

Absolutely but at some point that will change if nothing seems forthcoming.
