Lenihan to Hull City

[Cheeky Monkey]

I think Apocalypse Now was filmed in less time than this protracted transfer is taking to reach its conclusion.

Linehan not mentioned on the first five pages of Hull's forum(didn't look any further) he gets a whole thread on here....who wants him more?

It's up to Hull when to announce I suppose.

That was hours ago. Nothing confirmed yet. Still hope.

Even if it goes against us, at least we got Baldock!

 

[dingodan]

I hope he's decided to sleep on it.

The Amex makes for much better dream material.

The fact that nothing has been announced makes me think that just perhaps we're still in with a chance

I said that to my eldest earlier. It's quite like us to try to trump other teams at the last minute

It's fine

We've made ELEVEN OTHER SIGNINGS!!!!

In-demand Cork defender Brian Lenihan is preparing to complete his transfer to Hull City in the next 24 hours.

Lenihan is believed to have underwent a medical at Hull HQ yesterday after choosing the Premier League side ahead of Brighton.

Steve Bruce's recruitment team view Lenihan as a good long-term option and Cork will net a deal that will rise to in the region of €200,000 in addition to a sell-on clause.

The 20-year-old agonised over his options this week after spending time in Brighton, but the top-flight operation made a strong play to secure his signature.

If Hull progress in the Europa League I suppose he might get some opportunities to play or fill the bench for the first team. Otherwise should have chosen Albion.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Seems like he has taken a day or two to think about it which can't be a bad thing. The Premier League option was always going to be difficult to turn down but we gave him an opportunity that was obviously very attractive too.

Can we go with the "he's only valued at €200,000 " line so can't be that good when we don't sign him?

 

[Commander]

I assume Burke's job will be back to being on the line if we don't sign him?

 

[Perkino]

He's only 20 so should probably consider who is most likely to be playing at a higher level in a few years time and also who is more likely to give him minutes on the pitch

 

[sparkie]

I assume Burke's job will be back to being on the line if we don't sign him?

Just means Burke will start work now on the groundwork for signing a better right back next summer.





And time will tell if choosing Hull is the better option for him long term or not.

Updates from the Irish Press.....

"Cork manager John Caulfield revealed yesterday that Lenihan had texted him saying he had hoped to have the issue settled by last night."

He hasn't actually signed yet has he? Misleading thread title?

 

[saafend_seagull]

Unbelievable how many posts on this guy. As I said previously a guy at work who knows him from school and played with him to the age of 17 said he wasn't all that.

Former cork season ticket holder also said he is very level headed and can see why clubs want him.

He's 20. Caskey has around 85 appearances by this age.
