No chance.
There's no way they could bid a figure that anyone at the club, fans included, would think worth it.
They could, they have taken in £17.5m already this season, i think if they but in a bid of around £8m then the club would be tempted, and i think some fans would be satisfied for a bid around that region.
However i think the rumours around Zahore come from a base point of, he is new and raw, and he will be available at a knock down price. I dont think there is a lot in that story.
£20M might raise an eyebrow, anything less & they can buy Cornelius instead.
I very much doubt we'll sell this summer but if he continues to develop the way he has since Warnock turned him into a footballer there is no doubt we will sell eventually. The boy has the potential to be another Lukaku. I also very much doubt if he carries on scoring at the start of the season that Hull will be his destination. Young, powerful and able to play up front on his own means a much sought after player and he will no doubt interest the bigger fish.
I'm yet to be convinced he is more Lukaku than Jerome though.
Unless a silly bid comes in the club would be stupid to sell, particurlaly to a league rival. £8m may be a lot of money for him but realistically could we replace him with someone else who will perform as well as he did the 2nd half of last season, for that amount of money?
Can't see us selling him this summer, if he has a full season as good as his run in the team last season then it will be top flight clubs coming in for him next summer.
If they want him we have to agree to sell so if he goes its because we are prepared to accept a fee. One tning is certain he will earn more at hull than he will with us and that is what all players are innthe game for after all. I wont speculate on a fee but we are and always have been a selling club so........
?????
That is the same for every club from Rochdale to Real - Every player has a fee.
I also suspect that the boy knows if he has a decent start to the season his potential earning power will be a hell of a lot better than Cardiff or Hull could offer. His agent will know that.
Yes we are a selling club - every club is - Man Utd sold Ronaldo when they didn't want to.
If he scores goals he'll be worth a lot more than what Hull could offer.
Unless a £10m plus offer comes in he'll start the season as a Cardiff player - a 3 year contract signed in April confirms that. If he scores 20+ goals and we don't go up he'll be gone to a bigger club than Hull I suspect.
Anyway its a speculative piece of journalism of which there will be a lot more concerning Zohore if he does well. Take it with a large pinch of salt.
Only sell if the money is silly, and I mean ridiculous. Zohore has said to Danish TV he has no desire to leave, and we can surely hold onto him if it's another Championship club. He's praised Warnock for getting his arse into gear so think he realises he should stay for the time being.

It's a gamble. If we could get a full season out of Zohore as he played from new year on, then it would be a mistake to sell him. The key to this is that word 'if'.
I'd be surprised if anyone bid silly money for a player who has only demonstrated his ability for a few months, but looked awful before that, though as transfer fees keep getting higher and dafter, you never know.
I'm not sure which way I stand on this. I think Zohore is a fan's favourite and to sell him would be seen as a backward step by many, so on that basis I'd say he should stay. However, we need to see a full season from Zohore to find out whether the last few months have been a flash in the pan (Bothroyd could be unplayable for us for ages then disappear for weeks on end).
Burnley have bid £8m for assambalonga from forestwho has scored 68 goals in 148 games.
Zohore has 12 in 29
Jordan Rhodes 168 in 325 sold twice for 8 & £10m
Zohore has potential but that will not make him a £20m player in the transfer market this year and probably not any year.

We've bid 6 Million for Kenneth Zohore, Hull have no intention of paying the 12 mil buy out clause which Cardiff want
Interesting to see his buy-out is £12M. I'd have expected it to be a bit more than that. Slightly worried now as if we have to let Zohore go then I can see the recriminations starting up again just as things are looking positive for the first time in ages...
I would think £12m is a fair slightly over the top asking price.
Zohore could struggle with second season syndrome, defenders will obviously have more of an eye on him, managers will watch him and make plans for him.
I think if a club makes a £12m offer for one of our players fans will understand, and if you invest 75% of it back into players then it would improve the squad.
message boards are not a true reflection of the fans feelings, if a player is sold the initial disappointment will subside when new players come in.
We have to realise that players have a value, and if that player is sold, then replacements are found and the process continues.
You can get a case of a handful of fans shouting the same things over and over.
You would get message boards foaming at the mouth about Dave Jones being sacked, however at the ground, fans were chanting Dave Jones Barmy Army. If you were solely reading message boards you would think the fans hated him, if you only went to games, you wouldn't realise there was an issue.
On message boards the price wanted for Zahore has moved from 5 to 20 million in the matter of months, if a figure of 12 (which i believe is the asking price, rather than a trigger price). I think the vast majority of fans would accept that figure, especially if new signings came rolling in on the back of it. There still would be message board anger.
Respectfully disagree. In the time since Dave Jones has left social media, and I include messageboards in that, have become far more prominent.
Used the wrong way it can be damaging. ***** has loads of viewers and twitter followers and the negativity he thrives on and peddles gets to reach a lot of supporters.
Social media has blown up. Look at the last general election, and things go viral so quickly. If we sold Zohore, not only would it give people an excuse not to go but it would dampen the good feeling the club have spent the last year rebuilding since the rebrand. The only way they could avoid this is if the bid was completely ridiculous and we could invest the money sharpish. If they said, we've sold Zohore for £20m but here's Gallagher, Lawrence and Ledley, plus £10m in change and we'll spend most of that, then we can talk.
Just tell Hull and anyone else that may come sniffing to just sod off. He owes us next to nothing but based on tail end of last year,would cost a fortune to try and replace. If he falls short of expectations this season then not a lot lost but better the devil we know than gamble on another striker. If however he continues to improve then the guy will be worth an awful lot more than any price we will realistically get for him at this point.
Also keeping Ken sends out the right sort of message to fans, players and any players we are thinking of signing.
Could we get Fred to change his name by deed poll to 'Albin Kenneth Dahrup Zohore' and see if Hull notice before the cheque clears?
Warnock is, apparently, saying that £20 million wouldn't be enough to get Zohore, so I think that should the stuff about a £12 million buy out clause to rest.

If only NW could now have the same influence in Saadi, we could be sitting on the most valuable strike force this league has seen
