Why Regan Slater's move from Sheffield United to Hull City collapsed on deadline day

Regan Slater’s bid to play regular first-team football in the Championship suffered a setback after Hull City tried to move the goalposts on his move to East Yorkshire, leading to its collapse at the 11th hour on transfer deadline day.

Slater was expected to be unveiled at United’s Yorkshire rivals on Tuesday after Tigers boss Grant McCann promised the Sheffield-born youngster regular football, which would not be forthcoming at Bramall Lane.

Slater and his representatives hoped to seal a deal well ahead of tonight’s 11pm transfer deadline, after McCann and his employers had worked throughout the summer to put it in place.

Slater is understood to have turned down moves to other clubs in favour of returning on a permanent basis to Hull, where he spent time last season and won promotion to the Championship by winning the League One title.

United even structured the deal in a way that would help Hull get around their inability to pay transfer fees for players, because they took a loan from the EFL last season.

The Star understands that the issue arose from Hull’s end of the transfer rather than United’s as they tried to renegotiate the terms of the proposed deal, meaning that Slater remained at United on deadline day.

And to add insult to injury, the late arrivals of Conor Hourihane and Morgan Gibbs-White in the last two days before the window slammed shut pushed him further down the pecking order at Bramall Lane. Slater now cannot move until January at the earliest.

We've played 3 teams from the top 6? Mullered an established Championship side and lost to Derby(who,mocked as they were for their age,included 2 established centre halfs who we'd give our left knackers to have on the books).I see your post as negative and knee jerk nonsense!!

We've got some really talented players in this squad and we are missing players at present...Once we get everyone fit and the manager can pick his best 11,you'll see a different proposition entirely.

Yes, because my original opinion of around 20th to 24th is a massive knee jerk , why is everybody so rattled by a simple opinion, I don’t want us to finish bottom , hopefully we won’t ,but I don’t think we have enough quality , especially up front . Do you ever predict who will win the league? Champions league? It’s just a prediction. ,it doesn’t mean anything, also I find it pretty funny how you cannot judge anything after 5 games, but you can if claiming we’ve got results against the top 6 …

I haven’t seen Hinds play, but his look reminds me of Clayton Donaldson, what sort of player is he? Tall, target man, pacy forward, or tricky dribbler?

He's nothing like Clayton. Hinds is shorter, stocky, very quick. An exciting prospect.... Ex West Ham I believe.

Stop being a drama queen.'Everybody' isn't rattled,I commented on it with my opinion.

No doubt reps from City side are blaming the blunts and vice versa .. if there was a will to get the deal done then he'd be here, we all know what Ehabs negotiating skills are like . tbh he thinks he is a hard negotiator when in reality he is just a shady back street salesmen who if ya shook his hand you'd be checking make sure ya still had all your fingers.

'Shady back street salesman who if ya ? shook his hand you'd be checking make sure ya ? still had all your fingers' ????
Have you evidence of this or are you just sticking the boot in again and making up your own stories ?
When did you last shake his hand on a deal to come up with this bullshit ?

I know you may wish to believe his bullshit but I, like many others don't believe a word he spouts, slimey twat. Too many coincidences of failed deals, sales to be everyone else's fault other then his own.

Ehab reminds me of the dodgy car salesman dad in Matilda played by De Vito.

Do you lick Ehabs? OLM linked an article that may give insight into what happened with the Slater deal and you couldn't wait to defend Ehab's honour
