Australian transfers 26-27 Summer

That's your answer to everything!

Sure is!

Hull City seems underwhelming compared to the big clubs he was linked with.

The premier league has a lot of cash these days but I wanted to see how he will go at a big club and the worst case scenario he gets loaned to get game time so it’s a baffling move.

Not to mention having to exist in Hull.

Reading a few reports now that suggest it's a done deal - Herrington to Hull.

Would have preferred Arsenal but I guess he's more likely to play at Hull. Woody Woodmansey and Mick Ronson famously chose Hull over Leeds.

 

[Bbouy]

I think Hull believed they were a good chance to get Irankunda. Herrington hasn't otherwise been linked there except by fan speculation that I've seen.

All reports are now suggesting Herrington is a done deal to Hull City

Yep the reports are cropping up now:

Herrington set to become most expensive Australian ever in Premier League move

Premier League newcomers Hull are poised to sign Australia World Cup star Lucas Herrington. The 18-year-old centre-back, currently playing his club football for MLS side Colorado Rapids, was one of…

Yep. Blew up overnight. There weren't any news reports on this yesterday.

I know people will knock Hull but at least Herrington is better chance to play there. He has plenty of time for a bigger move.

 

[Mr Cleansheets]

Owner says it's still a week away.

His last match for Brisbane was 211 days ago. He is 18. If he starts, Aleague to EPL in under a year. Unprecedented.

Looks like I'm a hull fan now which is weird after the playoff final

Lucas Herrington to Hull City hasn't been confirmed yet though despite reports saying it's essentially a done deal.

Lucas Herrington to Hull City hasn't been confirmed yet though despite reports saying it's essentially a done deal.

The same reporters who said Irankunda to Sporting was a done deal?

 

[Robbos]

Seems like William Cvek Ferdinand (2011) has signed for Celta Vigo's youth team.

Love these updates on young technical players with potential to play for Socceroos.

He’s more likely to play at Hull until they’re in relegation trouble and change managers 10 matches into the season.

Still, I am stoked to have an Aussie in the Premier League. I seriously did not follow the league at all last year and now I’m a Hull City supporter.

An important detail but how Brisbane Roar have fumbled the bag here?
They could be sitting on millions of dollars from their sell out clause as it would have boost their coffers now instead they will get the minimum of it of this transfer.

A lesson here is not to underestimate your players and you should treat every player especially the younger ages as saleable assets which you can profit from over time.

I suspect Brisbane Roar underestimated him to think he would be this good for the elite of European football when maybe they thought he would be the run of the mill player that would have had a good career overseas in the MLS or a smaller league overseas?

In all seriousness though all Australian clubs aleague to the NPL have to get better at this as this is the best way major money can be made in Australia through the global transfer market which can be a big advantage for us compared to the other sporting codes which they can’t access from.

Brisbane have not so much fumbled the bag as tossed it in a dumpster. Amazing lack of nouse.

What a carnival of fools.

Aren’t the Bakerie’s Indonesian?

 

[onedaywinners...]

This has to be made sure that this never happens again. Must become 'The Herrington Clause' or something.

I understand that club profit from players can simply go into the club owners pockets but our clubs are being given poo change for our best talent and this ultimately hurts Australian football.

I'm not for a second claiming we have Herrington's everywhere but he is proof that we had a player that debuted at 17 for Brisbane and in less than 24 months he is on the verge of playing in the EPL.

We MUST back these kids so they can prove to us just how good we can actually be as a footballing nation.

If there is a talent like Lucas Herrington there is a pretty good chance they are more talented players like him in the system it all comes to down to whether they are identified, developed and eventually sold so the next one has a place to do the same…

That’s how functional development systems work as well, not sure what these clubs have been doing all of this time if more aren’t given the scope like Lucas has been given.
