Headlines:

We’ve not met the counter offer demands - so no movement on Jens (yet)

Club hopeful over 3 additional players next week, but nothing imminent or before the weekend

Club has to balance the Jens bid against others, so likely no movement till we know about the other players

(That’s paraphrasing / is the essence of what’s said in the article)


Just seen it.

Yes, three players described as very close but probably not this week; these three not Jens

Positions we are looking at: left back, winger, striker, midfield ( we all knew that)

Jens still possible; another Championship club is interested, and Salzburg, despite that cardiff remain committed.

We’re still the only club to make a bid. That could change at any time though.

Honestly none of us knew who this guy was 2 weeks ago and yes he looks a good player but the hype surrounding the whole transfer saga has built him up as the next Messi

I just want us to set a deadline and if they want to keep pissing us about , draw a line under it and move on to the next target



The next Gunnarsson, if BBM and his analytics team want him, he's good :thumbup:

It’s quite obvious that he’s not coming here

If Hull are interested then that ends the chances of all the other clubs linked.

Premier League football would be the deciding factor.

Tromso got knocked out of the Europa League qualifiers tonight.

So wouldn't be surprised if his move, wherever if he goes, will happen soon.

Apparently one club as dropped their interest on him?
Maybe price as reached its optimum and they won't get more for him ?

Apparently 2 Clubs out of the Total of 4 Clubs ( including Cardiff) have dropped their interest Jens as the Agent has been going back and forth trying to create a bidding war.

This is the thing isnt it

He's clearly a decent player who plays at a decent level and if BBM wants him then he'll be a good fit

but

Like others have said, does he REALLY want to come here or just waiting for a club with lots of £££

If he does come I wont know how to feel about it. Obviously I'll back the club and players but did he come as a last resort? We want players to love the club and want to play

Re: Updated: “ Agent / Now Hull City / Tromse player “

Rangers are no longer pursuing a deal for Jens Hjertø #Dahl at this moment.

Negotiations between Cardiff and Tromsø have also stalled.

In fairness to him all players want whats best financially and whats best playing wise ....... so if he sighns he'll be playing the best he can for us nothing to do wanting to love club once he's here he'll be good because bbm wants him

I’ve always been a glass half full person and …
• Just googled ‘Hull City transfer news and there’s lots of players mentioned including players (including) midfielders who appear close to signing but no mention of Dahl.
• The manager is quoted as saying that they’re not going to pay ‘over the odds’ prices for what he’d class as average or untried players.
• If they watched him on Thursday, apparently it wasn’t one of his better games.

If he comes it be as his first resort as we be the club who offered him the best deal. I would say no team teams in the world can actually attract a player purely based on the player wanting to play for the club. We need to get over thinking that players with no connection to the club dream of playing for us, we are definitely an attractive offer.

Name me a player in last 30 years that have played for us purely because it was for playing for Cardiff.

The same happens in normal day to day life, people want the best deal. No need to take it personally that he has signed the minute we showed interest.

Craig Bellamy came when he could have gone to others on loan when he was at Man City if I remember correctly

I see what you're saying but not sure I agree with all of it.

Many teams can attract players based on the player wanting to play for the club - many players dream of playing for Man United, Barcelona, Real Madrid etc and would probably accept lesser terms than they would get elsewhere in order to follow their dream.

A player in the last 30 years that played purely because it was Cardiff? I'll give you two - Craig Bellamy and Aaron Ramsey.

Yes both were local boys who wanted to play here for various reasons but I'm sure both would have had plenty of offers elsewhere at the time they joined us.

Hull City hope to wrap up deals in the coming days for Florentino Luis AND Jens Hjertø-Dahl.

I thought about them, but the reality is they had wages above average for the club, which allowed them to choose to play here. If you had put them on the average wage I doubt they come here, it was the wages the deciding factor.

Same as with the clubs mentioned above they can definitely attract more player when the financial are equal but if some one else was offering substantially more they would struggle. Those clubs are also outliers are they generally pay the most anyway. But you take any efl club it be about wages first and foremost. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

If we land Moylan I assume that means Robertson will be our number 6 as moylan is an attacking number 8/10 unless bbm has another number 6 lined up

Moylan more of a winger / forward though mate or are you thinking about the money being put up?

I feel the club is being given the run around by Tromso and Dahl.
Time to move on.
Very disappointed that no permanent outfield signings have been made. We are definitely weaker than last season but inasmuch tougher league. Not the best preparation for the season ahead.
BBM & his staff need to get a move on. A couple of signings could have equated to2.5k more season ticket sales.


How do you work that out?

He’s under contract so it’s the clubs decision to sell him not the players. He can’t decide to go to the club of his choosing if another club offers a mill more for example.

He cant be forced to go anywhere.

According to iTromsø, newly-promoted Premier League side Hull City are now "close to an agreement" with Tromsø after submitting what has been described as a "massive bid" for Hjertø-Dahl.
