good signing if he wants to come to hull

What a massive step in the wrong direction for him that would be. I'd rather go back to Almeria. If Hull could get him on loan, then fair enough, but I don't see why Madrid should sell him, he's a good, club-grown player.

We paid something like £6m for Agger and £6.5m for Skrtel, even with English nationality included, Turner is about a £5m player. I can understand why Hull have whacked a big fee on his head, they have every right to, but he isn't that good.

Exactly. I wonder who people would rather have in their teams, Agger/Skrtel or Turner. Then when you consider that Turner could be almost double the price of those two...

Because they want to? Most of the reports suggest they only activated the buy-back clause to cash in on his good season and make a profit. Think that's why they're not keen on loaning him to Roma, they supposedly want to recoup some money after their big spending. Either way I can't see him even considering Hull City.

I suppose that depends, doesn't it? That's what they cost Liverpool, but what they'd go for now could be quite different. I reckon they'd be at least £8m apiece, probably £9-10m.

Not the best method of establishing VFM.

Turner is a decent player who will do a good job (as a regular) for a mid-table team. TBH I think he's better than Michael Dawson, yet Dawson plays for a big club, albeit a squad player.

I'd certainly prefer Turner ahead of Tal Ben Haim.


Negredo to Hull? Surely not. Hull should take Benjani off our hands. He'd do a job for them. He's injury-prone but the fee would be small.

Benjani and Hull sound like a match made in heaven. WTF has Brown been doing all summer?

City would be a good move.
