    Given his level of experience I think it was fair, especially when you factor in the relative cost for Hughes.

    Acun has come out and said he could have got a lot more for him but didn’t want to stand in his way!!

    Just seen we’re expecting 3 signings today. 2 wingers and a striker?

    It's gone from six to five, to four, to three.



    Starting to see how this pans out.

    It was in my brain somewhere. I had to cheat and Google it. The GOAT game.

    Was he referring to keeping him for another season though? I think he may have been.

    Well I presume that no-one offered more, so it's a bit of a moot point. It did drag on for a while with Ipswich.
    It did also mean that we could focus on getting Hughes in before anyone else did. Maybe that's why they weren't so bothered.

    Not interested in what you’ve changed
    Acun said he could have got more if he’d waited to nearer the end of the window
    He wanted to do his best for greaves and Philogene
    I couldn’t give a **** where they go if they’re going and leaving hull city but I want as much money as we can for them and we d get more nearer the end of the window
    Same as we will now pay more as we’re getting desperate

    Surely its going to be more than 3. We're in for Palmer, Kamara, Doak and Rushworth.. thats 4 but then we still need a striker and a defensive mid. Im not bothered about Palmer or the keeper but we need 2 wingers a striker and a proper out-and-out defensive midfielder for once.

    We needed the money, the rest is just PR spin.

    What did we need it for? The players we haven’t brought in?

    City’s transfer policy at times reminds me of someone who spends thousands of pounds on designer clothes, new iPhone etc. but rents a crappy little flat and drives a **** car.

    Not like you to cling on to every word Acun says, Chazz.. It’s PR.
    If we are refusing to pay a bit more to try to get incoming deals over the line quickly, then I feel confident that we will have tried to eek out as much as we can when selling, taking into account add ons and also the wider picture. I think the EFL restriction for new owners has really hamstrung us, and probably forced us into getting the selling business done quickly, so we can operate in the market.

    If macca don't leave, that reduces the incoming.

    Yeah id keep Macca, at least till January. Start with Hughes & Jones with Macca, Ashbee, Smith & Burns as backup options. It's not blessed with experience but if you bring in someone older they're going to want to play.. then you're dropping Hughes or Jones..
