Just looking at reports from the Hull press that they may be considering recalling Jack Hobbs after the Reading game.
Although he is on a season loan they can apparently recall him in January. They do not want to add him to their squad but apparently there has been enquiries from other Championship clubs about his availability and they want to cash in to fund further dealings.
I feel it is absolutely crucial that we retain Hobbs. He is the backbone of our defence and has been key to Lascelles being able to fill Wilson's boots so well.
I hope we have a first refusal clause and if so we must sign him permanently. In some ways this is even more important than signing a striker.
A new contract for Reid and extending Vaughan's loan must also be high on the list.

Surely we have a legal agreement with Hull over this?
If it's a case of incompetence on our part (let's face it, that's quite likely) then we should match any other bids for him because he's been outstanding every time, to the point now where we take him for granted.

Can't trust their owner or sloth

Let's hope Jack really wants to stay and we have first refusal. IF he goes back putting a transfer request in may help

Rumour is that Fester have offered a 'significant fee' to sign him in Jan. No wonder Hull want him back, as under the agreement with us we'll get him for free in the Summer.

I thought they were unwilling to splash the cash?

I very much doubt we have found any money and I can't see us signing a CB unless big Wes decides he does want to go back to Forest. It's one area we don't need to recruit.
Not to mention the fact that the Hull chairman stated categorically that he would NEVER sell a player to Nigel Pearson. So this would represent something of a u turn.
You may have a rival for his signature, but I would be very surprised if it's us.

That's good to hear Joby. Hopefully all paper talk

Bruce has come out saying that there are people interested to buy.
Billy has come out saying the terms in the contract are that in this month they can recall - if they are in an emergency.
There is straight up no emergency and so cannot recall him and are trying to force our hand. If they somehow are able to through some bull###t technicality billy and fawas will rightfully be livid.
