HULL TARGET HABIB BEYE

25/07/2009

HULL boss Phil Brown is ready to spark the Newcastle fire sale by snapping up defender Habib Beye, 31, for £2.5million.

The Tigers eyed Wigan's Mario Melchiot but were scared off by his wage demands. Beye was one of the players Toon boss Alan Shearer wanted to keep.

These so called sour grapes comments by me were not written or sent by me.
Good luck to Habib Beye, Hull, Burnley, in fact everybody except the feeble minded Mackems (one of who has obviously stolen my email address from one of the Newcastle sites and used it on here to make an inflammatory post!)

its allways the same , sour grapes from a clubs fans who got relegated.
Icome from Hull but lived in australia for quite a few years, believe me we set the pace in bpl in the first half of the season now sure eneough we didnt have the depth of players or the experience of a big club it was all a learning curve for us.
Hull had never been any higher than the old second div. So gentlemen give us a go, big club or not ,great place to live or not , we survived the first season in the top flt, so get the big tabs of yourselves Newcastle you got a crap management, who are not really interested in the club or how a fantastic a club you are/ have been. you are now in a lower div than Hull so take it on the chin like the big people you proffess to be . And oh by the way you will be back.

Its funny how Brown always summises he has the righy to talk to any player he thinks is unhappy. Hull are and allways will be on borrowed time. They were very fortunate to escape relegation last time. Even by Newcastle standards they could never match the geordies at their worst for big club status.

Habib beye could easily walk straight into a top 4 side, he's that good. great professional who deserves a better club than hull. MIKE ASHLEY GET OUT OV TOON NOW, U R RUINING THE CLUB.WE DONT DESEVE THIS HUMILIATION, U TRIED TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK BUT IT BACKFIRED, ACCEPT THE PROFITABLE GROUPS OFFER AND GIVE THE CLUB TO SOMEONE WHO CARES ABOUT THE FANS,TEAM,CITY!!!!!!!!!!!

Hull might be a bad place to live and might be nailed on fro relegation but they will still finish higher in the league than Newcastle will no matter what happens!!!!

Aden - so when was this vote proclaiming Hull the worst city in Europe? I'd be interested to see a link to such a poll and you can no doubt provide this.

About 4 years ago channel 4 named it 'worst place to live in the UK' using obsolete and incorrect stats. When this was revised for the folloing year guess what? Hull didnt make the 'worst 10 list'. Middleborough did.

Guys - I'm a Boro fan and have to say Hull is an awful place. It was recently voted the worst city in Europe... I unfortunately went to uni at Hull so am speaking with experience... truly dreadful place!

Hull were lucky to stay up and WILL be relegated this season as they are by far the worst team in the premiership and as bad as Newcastle are Hull only seem ever to be linked to buying their useless players. Speaks volumes that does'nt it!!!!!!!!!!

Yet more sour grapes from a fan of a relegated club that's in a total mess in every way, from the lack of a new owner or manager to a urine-yellow away strip and a 6-1 defeat at Orient, of all places.
It's about time Newcastle fans learned to keep their traps shut and accept that they don't have a God-given right to be in the Premier League.
Hull City might be in for a difficult season, granted, but we don't have gormless Cockneys wearing football shirts in the directors' box, the club is well run and WE'RE STILL IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE, ta very much.
Oh, and I've lived in the bleak and inhospitable North-East and, believe me, I'd much rather live in Hull, thanks.
The people are altogether friendlier and not full of themselves like the "Legends" of Newcastle.

hahaha newcastle fans still SO bitter about last season. nailed on for relegation? well everyone said that about us last year, maybe we will be lucky again and have 3 clubs inept and poor enough to keep us up. maybe like last year the fans of one of the bigger clubs will cause their teams downfall by whining and protesting instead of getting behind the club. we will have to wait and see i guess

I'm sure Habib Beye will have more ambition than to play for a small nailed on for relegation club based in a worse place to live than Middlesbrough.
