"in 2-3 days I will have my dream team to give to the fans"
That was said yesterday I think?
Hmmn. Tomorrow and Friday could be very interesting as the rubber now meets the road.

I think Seri, Estupinan and Sinik are the 3 close to completion. That will still leave us a few players short imo

Baxter (Ingram)

Coyle (Emmanuel) - Figueiredo (Jones) - Greaves (McLoughlin) - Fleming (Elder)

Seri (Slater)
? (Traore) Tufan (Docherty)

Sayyadmanesh (Longmann) KLP(Sinik)
Estupinan(?)

We still need a creative midfielder, a striker and another winger when KLP inevitably leaves. A ball winning midfielder with some height would also be nice

Still 7 weeks in the window....

Oh I know, i'm absolutely delighted with how early we've done deals. It's just that listening to Acuns interview yesterday it sounded like after these last few deals our transfer business will be concluded "in 2-3 days, all the team in our head, will be on the pitch"

Maybe he means the expected starting 11?

According to some we've only actually signed soft fancy Dan shirkers so far with no championship experience. And the players hate Shota anyway.

They're just needlessly dismantling the side which finished a glorious 19th last season which needed to play a formation with 7 defensive players to keep the door shut cos we couldn't score goals.

Well, so far, according to official announcements, we've only signed Tufan and Fig!! (I don't count Baxter as he was already here last season). A lot to do and announce in the next 2 days.

2 days? Try 7 weeks.

Glad you don't count Baxter. You'll not count Ali either so won't be whining for an announcement there either. And no need to worry about Traore either as he can't possibly be our player without an 'announcement'.
 
Some won't be concluded in 2-3 days, i think Acun may be referring to the fans can at least see the shaping of a dream team they can look forward to, sometimes he might have difficulty in translating things into the exact meaning, but he is also an excitable chap.

I suspect he's referring to deals done, as opposed to international clearances, visas etc...

Of course we can play who we want in friendlies.

He's extremely similar to Doch statistically.

This is a section I've copied from here: https://breakingthelines.com/summer-2022-transfer-window/analysing-hull-citys-midfield-targets/

For the Tigers, this presents an outstanding opportunity on paper, but with a few causes for concern upon further investigation. To get a more accurate picture of the player, it is worth going back to the 2020/21 season – when he featured 37 times in the Super Lig – and comparing to Greg Docherty, who he is most similar to in the Hull squad.

To compare with Docherty’s 2021/22 campaign, the stats according to Wyscout are strikingly similar. Per 90 (Tufan/Docherty), they averaged 3.9/4.0 interceptions, 1.6/1.6 loose balls won, 7.4/7.6 opposition half recoveries, 63%/63% of defensive duels won, 1.5/1.6 dribbles, 5.0/3.2 successful passes to final third and 7.8/6.2 forward passes.

In playing style, Tufan and Docherty are both effective at harrying opponents to retain possession, showing great speed over short distances and defensive positioning to press players quickly when they receive the ball. This tenacity and drive also sees them carry the ball well over long distances, even with immediate pressure from multiple defenders.

Their stats may be similar last year but Tufan has always been a DM, it’s only in the past year or so he’s been pushed further forward which has resulted in the worst seasons of his career….

His other position is RB which highlights his defensive qualities

Nearly all his intentional appearances have been as DM - https://www.transfermarkt.com/ozan-tufan/nationalmannschaft/spieler/236471

FIFA listed him as a DM up until 2021 - https://www.futhead.com/players/223154/

Even Watford announced him as a DM - https://www.watfordfc.com/magazine/features/factfile-new-watford-signing-ozan-tufan

He’s a defensive midfielder.

Strange response!
2 days in relation to Acuns comments.
I'm not whining or worrying.
It's odd that there hasn't been announcements. Not suggesting anything, just stating it's odd. Same with just stating there's a lot to do and announce in the next 1-2 days given what Acun said.

Having worked liaising with the home office over the last 2 years (and before) it ain't a surprise to me at all.

Processing times since brexit/covid are mental compared to before, and that's just one step in ratifying an international contract.

I suspect he's referring to agreeing terms and passing the medicals. He has no control over the admin.

You may not be whining, but plenty are.

A heat map would be better
