After hearing what agar said today I think we are still in talks with sammut, lauaki is looking a lot leaner, slimmed down loads.

I missed that what did Agar say?

They need to be fitter for 5 drives and a kick.

Wouldn't confirm or deny, the way he came across a little coy makes me think that the deal isn't dead.

All depends on how silly Crusaders get with their asking price, can't imagine we will be held to ransom.

So do people think the Sammut will go ahead ? Or is the people saying its a done deal just hoping ?

It's all about negotiations, Crusaders want the max they can get and I reckon Hull have a limit they will offer at some stage there has to be some give or the ckub walks away and looks at other targets.

Thing is its a bit of a juggling act in a way as to how long do you keep trying to keep a player that wants a move as you could risk screwing up any sort of relationship with said player which then has an affect on the team as a whole as its a huge negative.

As we know every player has a price (and you'd be very naive to think otherwise) its whether a club is prepared to pay that price.

Exactly and from Hull's perspective if Crusaders don't appear to be showing any give then you have to say enough is enough and go to other options. It's clear we are in for the player and that he wants to come but that does not mean the deal will be done.

Agree with you Paul, its a kind of 'who's going to break/give in first' situation.
