That for me is the point. None of this is new. Hull (PT in particular) have already stated that they like him, and Oxford is not really a surprise.
For me, Oxford won't get him. I can't see them making the play offs, and even if they do I can't see them getting promoted. I can't see them being that great a draw for Conny.
Hull, however is a different matter. If they go up and they want him they will probably get him. He would be mad to turn them down. I would imagine they can afford to pay him a lot more than we can, he will be playing at a higher level in front of at least double the crowd he does now.
The one saving grace is that he had a bad game against them, and didn't do a huge amount against Yeovil either. Now it doesn't matter, let's hope his form until the end of the season is equally as poor!
I have also been told that RM is prepared to offer good contracts to the players he wants to keep this time around. Basically he is prepared to spend some of the money we made this year in various cup competitions. If that is the case, Conny etc should be offered a reasonable amount. How much, and whether it will be enough to keep him here and see off offers from Hull et al, we will find out in good time....
