I thought Hull's main target was Kasper Schmeichel, though I think it flashed up on Sky that Leicester have told them to get stuffed.
Yes. They need another one anyway so unless they have 3 replacements in mind that's a bit of a gamble.

Rose, with Naughton back up I would imagine.

Yeah, I think they've had a few bids rejected. I suspect Pantilimon is/was the back-up option. If it happens, I think he'd be a great signing.
We're being linked with Lazio's Stefan Radu, for what must be the 6th transfer window in a row. Is he that good?

Yeah, Rose was one of the best players at Sunderland this season.

He'd be a decent signing for you lot but wouldn't improve the first 11, I think his main selling point is he can play CB and LB in a back 4, on the left of a back 3. Also, unlike Kolarov he can actually defend.
Personally I think it's bullsh*t to fill space, he's happy in Rome, a key part of the first team, tied down to a longterm contract and we've no need to sell players to raise money.
With all that in our favour Lotito will screw you guys over the transfer fee, there's no way you'll get anything like value for money, I mean Kolarov wanted to leave and the fans didn't like him yet Lotito still made you pay over the odds and throw in Garrido.

Reina off then?

Machester $hittylona.
bluemoon.
It does sound like bullshit and his agent has since denied there's been any bid.
For the life of me I still cannot understand how we paid £17m for Kolarov.

I'm just messing with you. I know what a tenterhook is. I watch too many food programs not to.

I thought it was just a textile thing that entered figurative speech. What does it mean in cooking?
ianbaker
Smoking actually, not cooking. When kippers are made. Kippers are smoked herrings. They are "butterflied" ie split down the belly, get rid of all the crap, and then are put on hooks in the smoke house. The hooks are tenterhooks. This is where the word comes from.
Bet you didnt know you would learn about word etymology on a football forum, did you?

Etymology is explaining how the word tenterhook came to exist, so you'd need to describe what a tenter and then explain why it's called a tenter. A cursory glance at google should help you out.

Tenter comes from the french word tenet, which means "principle," properly "a thing held (to be true)". This itself comes from the latin word tenet, which means "he holds".
That's etymology.

Another theory is it comes from the Latin tendere - to stretch and extend.
