“It’s looking like we’ve dodged a bit of a bullet” – Hull City fan pundit issues verdict on collapsed deal for 33-year-old

The Tigers were linked with a move for the 33-year old following a break-down in talks over a possible contract. Nwakaeme is currently a free agent having departed Trabzonspor at the end of last season.

Turkish giants Fenerbahce and Galatasaray have also been linked with a move for the veteran forward. But this Hull supporter was initially hopeful that he could arrive at the MKM Stadium this summer.

However, after reports emerged detailing his wage demands, the fan pundit quickly changed his mind and now believes that the Championship club have made the correct decision to walk away from negotiations. “I think initially it was quite an exciting possible signing,” Northgraves told Football League World. “The guy’s scored 14 goals from wing.

Yes, he’s pretty old but if we could get him on a short-term contract just to have an immediate impact and help us fire our way up the league it could be a good move. “In hindsight, it’s looking like we’ve dodged a bit of a bullet because according to some rumours on Twitter he had some pretty outlandish contractual demands. “As in, very high wages, something like using Ilicali’s personal cars and stuff like that. “Seems pretty odd, trying to make himself a lot bigger than the club so thankfully it looks like that deal is not happening and we can move on from that.” Hull have lost a key player this summer in Keane-Lewis Potter, which Nwakaeme could have arrived as a potential replacement.
