Saint_clark Posted 23 January, 2009 Posted 23 January, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/h/hull_city/7846660.stm WTF are Fulham thinking?
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 23 January, 2009 Posted 23 January, 2009 They're thinking 'Championship'...
Thedelldays Posted 23 January, 2009 Posted 23 January, 2009 i think (or read somewhere) he as a bad injury that he is carrying..and that 5m is a good deal.. hodgeson is no MUG
Papa Shango Posted 23 January, 2009 Posted 23 January, 2009 £5m is a pretty good deal for Fulham considering he's 31 this year. Like TDD says Hodgson knows what he's doing.
Colinjb Posted 23 January, 2009 Posted 23 January, 2009 He'll be getting 50 grand a week at Hull apparently. Considering he is going to become a major 'sicknote' I say fair play to him.
Rory Posted 23 January, 2009 Posted 23 January, 2009 Fulham were my tip for 7th place at the start of the season and, with £5 million extra in the bank, I think this is a possibility.
Andy_Porter Posted 23 January, 2009 Posted 23 January, 2009 Pretty crap deal if you ask me. Obviously if he falls over in training and does his knee in again Hodgson will look like a genius, just can't see how they plan to replace him with so little money.
stevegrant Posted 23 January, 2009 Posted 23 January, 2009 By all accounts, Bullard's not been anywhere near as good this season as he was last season, so he might not be missed at all, particularly as he was after £50k a week on a 4-year contract! Hull have got to be a bit careful, they're not safe from relegation yet, despite their brilliant start to the season, and they've now committed themselves to £2.5m every year for the next 4 years. £15m total outlay for someone like Bullard is madness.
Arizona Posted 23 January, 2009 Posted 23 January, 2009 Doesn't seem to make to much sense for either party. Fulham risk getting dragged into the relegation fight without him and Hull have forked out a lot of money considering they aren't exactly Premiership stalwarts.
Andy_Porter Posted 23 January, 2009 Posted 23 January, 2009 I think Hull are third of fourth favourites for the drop depending on where you look. Wouldn't suprise me at all if they went down, Bullard could be the difference though. I think he will definatly be missed even if he wasn't as influential as the end of last season. They haven't got much in the way of cover for Bullard, Etuhu is about all I can think of at the moment. Still if Hodgson can pull out another Hangeland type signing for midfield they will be fine.
hamster Posted 23 January, 2009 Posted 23 January, 2009 They must have someone lined up to replace him. It would be madness to sell your best players for short term gain and risk losing millions via relegation. Only a complete **** of a chairman would sanction such idiocy!!
Rory Posted 23 January, 2009 Posted 23 January, 2009 Not sure if Bullard is the player a lot of people make him out to be. He does put in some formidable performances but they aren't consistent enough. I'd be more worried to lose Clint Dempsey if I followed Fulham.
AndyNorthernSaints Posted 23 January, 2009 Posted 23 January, 2009 Had hoped that he'd go to a better team as he's in my fantasy football team.
Linvoy's Afro Posted 24 January, 2009 Posted 24 January, 2009 Not sure if Bullard is the player a lot of people make him out to be. He does put in some formidable performances but they aren't consistent enough. Quite. I've got a couple of mates who follow Fulham (one's a season ticket holder) and although he's decent enough they both think he's overrated on the basis of his cheeky lad persona (even if this is the second club he's walked out on for wanting more money).
Thedelldays Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 (edited) seems fulham did a good deal in the end..lol apparently when he signed for hull no company would insure his knee... loolololollllol!!!111 Edited 21 February, 2009 by Thedelldays
Andy_Porter Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 apparently when he signed for hull no company would insure his knee... loolololollllol!!!111 That's brilliant. How on earth can Phil Brown say it wasn't a gamble...
