bald reynard Posted 28 July 2005 Share Posted 28 July 2005 I 'picked up' the 'little whisper' about Iain Hume on Foxes Talk earlier - and just found out that it ties in with some info I got from a mate at Tranmere - "he's on his way to City" ! Apparently he pulled out of a Sheff Wednesday deal because of interest from City -and the fact that we pay better wages ! CL has been looking to sort this out for a couple of weeks now, but lack of wage funds prevented it - hence Canero's quick departure ! Hume is the mystery 'midfielder' Clubcall recently talked about AND their International striker - he's played both roles for Tranmere. He's quick and CL had him on trial at Hearts when a teenager - but felt he needed some maturity. He's got it now ?! £500k is the figure Wednesday agreed - so I guess we'll be paying the same !

Little Nicky Posted 28 July 2005 Share Posted 28 July 2005 Dunno, but he looked bloody good in the play-off semi final for Tranmere against Hartlepool, firey little bloke, real ankle biter like dickov was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lush Posted 28 July 2005 Share Posted 28 July 2005 not bad i suppose 145767[/snapback] Am i right in saying hes scored approximately 1 in 3 games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoShaunUK Posted 28 July 2005 Share Posted 28 July 2005 Seems like he'd be a good signing if we can get him in.. we definately need someone.. if we dont bring someone in.. I'll play upfront for £300 or so a week!! .. get me in there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookwhaticando Posted 28 July 2005 Share Posted 28 July 2005 Am i right in saying hes scored approximately 1 in 3 games? 145779[/snapback] Only if you're counting starts, not sub appearances. 31 in 95 league starts including sub appearances his ratio is 0.21 - or 1 goal in 5 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From this evidence I'd say make sure he starts. 145785[/snapback] Yeah, the numbers look reasonable and he's only 22. Looks promising - maybe he's our man. Let's not get too excited, wait until he's standing next to CL holding up a shirt /edit: "he's only 2." .. ooops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnerz Posted 28 July 2005 Share Posted 28 July 2005 He's a very good player, him and Ryan Taylor looked the best players in the Tranmere side, I think it'd be a great signing should he join. WARNING: He has crap hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted 28 July 2005 Share Posted 28 July 2005 During Tranmeres FA Cup run 2 seasons back he impressed me very much, he made things happen and looked good going forward. However he is more of a creative midfielder and we have enough of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molson Canadian Posted 28 July 2005 Share Posted 28 July 2005 he's a good player but he's more of a midfield type i've seen him play for team canada before and he seemed okay but i don't think he would be able to play the role of a striker he's more of a creative attacking midfield... he certainly has the speed and skill but as a forward i'm not sure if it would work out...but then again i'm not a expert and i could be wrong but it would be nice to see a canadian in the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nationwider Posted 28 July 2005 Share Posted 28 July 2005 Iain Hume I quite like. £500k is the figure Wednesday agreed - so I guess we'll be paying the same ! 145746[/snapback] And that I don't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookwhaticando Posted 28 July 2005 Share Posted 28 July 2005 "The ball's behind you, Iain" 145803[/snapback] lol And the hair IS quite shocking. I didn't know he was Canadian, that explains the bad hair- I live in the capital (Ottawa) and there's a lot of people with bad hair.

riggyswfc Posted 28 July 2005 Share Posted 28 July 2005 We agreed terms with Hume, it was his agent who wanted too big a chunk of cash for wednesday's liking. Sturrock spoke out last weekend on our tour of Scotland saying that he will still be speaking to Hume, so expect something soon... Wouldn't be surprised if he did move to you though... PNE were after him aswell, but the 500k price tag put them off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nationwider Posted 28 July 2005 Share Posted 28 July 2005 Raising that amount of cash is a bit unlikely for us too, I reckon. I think it's a bit excessive, but then if Lita's worth £1M.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsons Posted 29 July 2005 Share Posted 29 July 2005 the money is still a big problem - i hope we can afford him. have we actually been properly linked with this player, has CL said anything about him?? i wouldnt get your hopes up too high, its just speculation right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 29 July 2005 Share Posted 29 July 2005 Well we've just shelled out about £500k on Gerrbrand and Gilbert, so if we've got another £500k plus enough to cover a player's wages then i'd be very surprised. I know we've slashed the wage bill massively, but £1 million in transfer fee's plus the wages for all our new signings would seem to be abit over our budget, but then what do I know? I hope it is true. But anything club call has ever linked us with has never come true, so i'm not overly optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
