The club are obviously trying to make one last signing and at this stage they are not going to be giving Naylor any titbits, he knows as much as the rest of us.

Would he be 4th choice midfielder, or would perhaps he be the backup to Gross? Considering we don't have anyone naturally to assume that role...I know Kayal/March could but it's not their primary role.

Be interesting to see going forwards but I think Gross will be used on the wings now with CH going for two strikers, or at least I’m hoping.

This. He is someone that would offer more pace than Gross and still only 23, so may be more than a backup eventually.

Better than that for the lad probably.

1st choice FA cup centre midfielder.

Back up and sub to Groß in our 4-4-1-1.

Also.....

Imagine Stephens suspended (3 games) & Kayal plus Groß injured. We have a potential ‘Left Back 2015/16’ style crisis on our hands if we don’t sign another midfielder or recall Norwood!

I'd worry if he was put on the wing, whilst he's probably the best crosser/dead ball player in the squad he just doesn't have the pace. Maybe he will be a bench player if we play 2 up and come on if we are defending a lead and go 4-4-1-1 or something?

Bit old, not sure he'd give up his MLS gig for us.

He's extremely versatile from what I can tell. Can play as a carrilero in a two man pivot, number 10, winger and deep lying second striker. English so suits the HGP quota, young so one to build around possibly, highly talented player that was tipped for big things. Only concern is his attitude problems which are the reason he's a League One footballer, he's apparently a disruptive character

Just spoke to my Wigan mate! He rates him very highly. Ex man united younster. He'll be gutted if he comes to us

Do we really want to pay upto £7m for someone to come in and be 4th choice midfielder, not make the bench and then be sold for less than half of that a year or so later? Still a definite NO from me

I am quite certain Uncle Tony and his team know what they are doing with the team building and the spending of money..

of course you are free to email Uncle Tony or Mr B and let them know your feelings......you never know it might sway thier decision.

It seems unlikely that with the first team playing tonight and him (presumably being up north) it's going to be very difficult to get this over the line tonight.

Just seen Yannis Salibur name

Hull very nearly signed him on deadline day last year, tried to argue they'd finished the paperwork in time but they were refused

If Barber is spotted at Southampton then it's game over

Is it essential that Paul Barber oversees it?
