http://sportwitness.co.uk/happy-ilicali-announces-hull-reached-agreement-sign-player-15-offers/ Acun: “We have reached an agreement with Liverpool for the transfer of Fábio Carvalho. We have added another excellent name to our squad that will take us to our goals. The transfer process was very difficult, but Carvalho, who had more than 15 offers, chose Hull. We are very happy. We’ve done a great job.”
I could have gone the easy way and delete it but i stand by what i tought. Thats why my socks are glued to the ceiling right now.
Some signing that is, I would never have believed in a month of Sundays we would sign someone of his calibre. Well done Acun, Tan and all concerned.
"We are in a battle with some very big clubs, but we are Hull City," Ilicali said. "I say don't forget that Jaden Philogene picked us over 10 other clubs. We are very excited too. He is a very unique player and we really want to see him at Hull City, but as with every important transfer, we have some big rivals to sign him, from big Premier League clubs and many Championship clubs. "At the end of the day, I want all our fans to know that we are Hull City, and when we want to transfer a player, we will always do our best and we will always show that we are a big club. We are a big family and we are a big club. So in this case, of course, it is not easy, but like with Jaden Philogene, it just happened very similarly that more than 10 teams were trying to take him to their clubs. They didn't give us too much chance at that time, but Jaden's choice was Black and Amber. "We are doing everything for Fabio the same and I think we are trying to give the good news to our fans and we will show everybody what an ambitious club we are.
Despite being told that there was no way that he’d be coming to us, it’s beginning to look like he might just be after all.
