nnock1984 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Glad he’s back - excited to see him at work. However, not sure the deal was the best considering we didn’t want him to leave in the first place. . . Sold for 5m, bought back for 13m. We’ve paid Hull 8m to have him for a year - could we just not have loaned him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JourneymanSteve Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 His highlights from the last year at Hull remind me so much of Mahrez in his Leicester days. The sudden drop of the shoulder that bamboozles multiple defenders, his surprising strength to hold players off and the end product to go with it. Can't wait to see him in action. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 So happy we will finally see him in action in the prem. I think he will surprise a lot of people and prove to be a fantastic player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted July 16 Moderator Share Posted July 16 I think he could be brilliant supporting Ollie in a free role coming off the right. I'm increasingly thinking he's Diaby's replacement. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he only had a year left on his contract when he was sold and wasn't signing a new one if he wouldn't get game time so a loan wouldn't make sense for us as he would have just left on a free at the end of it.

In what way do you think he'll be a surprise? How good he actually is. I’ve heard and read the rumours on why he was sold but I feel and stated at the time it was the wrong decision to sell him after his performances pre-season in America. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sold him becuase he wanted to go and get first team football, emery wanted to keep him, but he also agreed to let him go for that first team football he wanted. I also think he only had a year left on his contact at that point, so we were at risk of losing him for nothing the following summer. I would think that this time round, emery was willing to offer him a good amount of game time, as long as he performs etc. He is also guaranteed to be part of the CL squad due to his homegrown status. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) I imagine the goal was always to re-sign him and we just waited for a bid to come in from others to match it and lower it with the sell-on clause. He wanted first team games and we banked some profit for that year. It worked out for both. We’ve now got a more experienced player for a tiny cost.

Thought he was very good last pre-season. Imagine he would have got some minutes but can't blame him for wanting to go and be first choice somewhere else 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) I still see some of the same old tired views of "where will he play" We are a squad now, with a mandate to challenge in 4 major competitions.....that could include a huge number of games, in a highly competitive environment. We all saw last season how we limped over the line, with our unfair share of long term injuries....I also think our aggression in those games, had to be managed, to keep the wheels on the wagon. Jaden is here to play, I have no doubts about that, and the other players in his position will be given the necessary rest time, they should have had last season. If we want players to play at their peak, they must be rested from time to time....and Jaden is a very good signing to help us with that. We have to keep reminding ourselves, squad not team........If we want the team to move on, we need to move on in our thinking, too.

We sent out a colt and brought back a stallion. I don't know the rationale for the low selling price, maybe as its suggests, he was young and raw.....his season at Hull represents his increased value. The odds have increased, that the potential is being realised, and Jaden can join the group to improve even more. really pleased with this move. PS that Rabona was outrageous, not just for the execution, but the sheer audacity too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
