Aston Villa have made a £10m bid for Hull City's central midfielder Tom Huddlestone. #avfc #HullCity #TransferNews

That is utterly crazy if that is true, hopefully just paper talk!

Noooooooooo

can't see anything in it to me Hull have just been promoted back to the premier league why would he not be a large part of their plans?

Huddlestone as signed a new 2 year contract in the last few days,

I would imagine it was because of his involvement in the Copa.

Tshibola comfirmed here

Welcome Aaron and good luck.

Yeah, Guzan, Clark, Sanchez have an extended break because of international's

Rumours are that the striker RDM wants has not been mentioned in the press yet...........

Just a wee thought, how about this for a spine.

Gollini
Ellphick
Tshibola
Benteke

I was scouting him last season as someone we could have got in January. He's had two seasons in a row where he's scores a decent amount of goals and when you see his goals he can use either foot and looks like a decent finisher with some pace as well. I'd much rather get him than Mccormack tbh.

Definitely, Mcormack is over priced i feel considering his age, this lad Kodjia seems a cracking player, and with a better standard of player supplying him he could well score even more than what is already a pretty hefty goals to games ratio. I got a feeling Nathan Baker could be part of any deal.

all the signs are looking good - now lets see some departures !

Is the squad size the same in the championship as in the Prem?

It is good to see some enthusiasm back into the club again from an owner who gives a shit!

An owner who likes to talk to the fans. Totally different to recent times.

Also, it says strikerS. So unless it's a translation typo that's 3 more players on their way. Will that be it then or maybe waiting until late in the window to have a punt at someone tasty?

Isn't he got to appear in court to face assault charges:

Looks very likely he will end up in prison to me!
