ian1964 10,720 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Nacho Novo has emerged as a Ã?£2 million transfer target for Hull City, the surprise package in the Barclays Premier League this season. The Rangers forward is on Phil Brownââ?¬â?¢s wish-list when the scramble for signings starts again in six daysââ?¬â?¢ time. Brown splashed out Ã?£3 million on Daniel Cousin in August ââ?¬â? only 48 hours after the bustling front man had scored in Rangersââ?¬â?¢ 4-2 triumph away to Celtic. Hull have been alerted to the fact Novo has failed to find a permanent place in Walter Smithââ?¬â?¢s starting line-up and Brown is lining up a second swoop on Ibrox. Novo, the Spaniard signed from Dundee in July 2004 after refusing a move to Celtic, still has 18 months of his contract to run and is in no rush to leave. However, Brown could offer him a better chance of regular football and the thought of teaming up again with Cousin could persuade Novo to make the move. Smith has been told that he will have to sell next month to generate cash to bring in new players and Jean-Claude Darcheville is already on his way back to France with Valenciennes. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/scotland/article5397900.ece 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarty 2,009 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Would be a shame to see the wee guy leave but I could understand why he might want to. He's what, 30 now? That could potentially be his last chance of a decent move earning good money. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juffery 0 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 And it'll be our one and only chance of picking up �£2million for him. At that price I would bite Hulls hand off. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 846 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Why we didnt let McCulloch go for 2 million is beyond me. Personally I want Novo to stay and he would play almost every game for me. He is our best impact player and should be starting more games. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is our best impact player and should be starting more games. He's better coming off the bench though as never really makes that much of an impact when he starts IMO certainly not a starter for me although he seems to love the club and tries his heart out. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can say the same about Boyd who makes no impact until he scores which can be like last week - 61st minute!! Who is to say Novo wouldnt do the same if he started and we persivered (sp)! He was superb in the season he played with Prso through the middle scoring 25 goals. EDIT: novo is a big game player and scores in OF games plus Europe away matches - thats an asset IMO and worth keeping!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like boyd, smith tries every other option other than novo which has been a real blunder by our manager in my eyes. I for one will be sad to see him go if he leaves 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like gisa and Gribz think I would be disappointed to see the wee man go. Should make a list of the big goals he's scored. There's loads. OF goals. Goals that have put us into the CL proper. That Fiorentina penalty. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
