Think it's twitter bollox anyway, but too cheap ? Really ? I know you like him, but £7 Mill is about £4 M more than he is worth imo. As one of the few saleable players in the squad, he is sure to be on his way if we can scout better. Similarly, Cooper and O'Kane.

God he's 10 times the player Cooper or O'Kane is...He's going to score someone 25 goals as a striker in a 442, or he's just beginning to look comfortable as a left winger imo.

Much as fans want Bartley, quick glance at Spurs forum, they are full of praise for Foyth.
Bartley is a Swansea reject who's only ever played one full season. He did well at us, but it's embarrassing how our fans have turned him into peak Franco Baresi off one loan spell where we didn't even make the top 6. Bielsa should be able to attract much better.

I agree. When limited players like Hugill are going for £10m, then that is way too low.

Re Vydra. He scored like 8 penalties last season, so from open play he was no better than Roofe. Really want Hernandez.

Inclined to agree.

Romantic view of Bartley, but his loan spell for us makes up almost a 3rd of his entire career appearances.

To injury prone.

Still got to score them lol.

I think Vydra is class, his Championship record is practically 1 in 2 and he has done that playing in multiple positions.

A few more names mentioned.

Liverpool winger Harry Wilson- 7 goals 3 assists in 11 games for Hull last season.

Brentford captain, cb, John Egan- Solid performer for Brentford last 2 years, more of a ball playing cb then Bartley.

Manchester United gk Dean Henderson- league 1 team of the year gk, had a great breakthrough season.

Hull fans highly rated Wilson, haven't seen him live as he didn't play in the drab 0-0 draw at the KC

Can't recall Egan in our two games v Brentford although our sublime strike-force struggled to cause the Bees defence few problems :roll:

Wilson is highly rated in wales and would be a great signing, probably a loan deal though
