Transfer Rumours Summer '22 Transfer Thread

Seems odd that TH release was announced immediately whereas others have a stay of execution until 21st May.
Unless there are negotiations with the others but TH was a definite NO.

 

Huddlestone has no resale value. The others have. We'll be offering the lads we want to keep new deals, the ones we want to sell will have their options triggered so they don't move for nowt.

If shota has said about Wilks 'he has a value' and suggested his option would be triggered then the others are a no brainer with the only exception of Emmanuel still being a question mark.

 

But he will be on contract until end of June.

 

Yes. His contract ends in June like the others but we're not triggering Hudds option year because he won't play and we won't get a fee for him.

If Hudds wants to drop down the leagues and play on for a season then he's more likely to find a club as a free agent anyway.

 

Huddlestone's departure hasn't been announced as such. The club has said nothing officially. Shota more or less confirmed it to Burnsy in his after-match interview but it seemed like he didn't really plan to mention it. Burnsy didn't ask about any of the others specifically.

 

It's certainly intriguing how they are handling this situation with the out of contract players and retain list. It seems they are getting everything done with all players and will announce in one shot.

 

Wonder if Tom would take a coaching role if offered...hadn't he done his badges etc.

 

That's a very sensible "cover my back" statement.

 

sounds like I'd rather play for Chelsea but if that doesn't happen I'm happy to play for Hull - and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that

 

See Andy Dawson has been appointed first team coach.

Excellent.

 

I like Dawson proper old school pro
No idea how he’ll do as first team coach but hopefully he’ll be great

 

Daws seems to have done the U23's job well, so it seems a good step up for him and keeps the City influence in the coaching team. I wonder who will take over the U23's, maybe John Anderson will step up?

 

I’m really pleased with this appointment. Promote from within. Great news and good luck Daws.

 

Yeah and bring a few Gladiators with him. Sorry, old gag.

 

I wonder if they'll bring Barmby back for that role. I've no idea if he wants that level of commitment, but he appears to get on very well with Acun

 

Good shout, never gave him a thought, but now you mention it, it could be a possibility.

 

Barmby was helping out at the training ground in the early days of Shota taking over the reigns.
