Are people confusing Ethan Pinnock with Rico Henry? Pinnock isn’t a free agent this summer.
 
I'm sure under Bruce our first signing was either McGregor or Davies. Really set the tone. I don't think we need too many CBs, maybe even just one, so pinnock would be perfect.

I agree we don’t need many but we really want to push the boat out for a top bananas centre half. Same with central midfield and up front. They are the 3 most key signings for me.

I disagree with the poster saying we need a stronger midfield to retain possession, I think our style is perfectly suited at the level of possession we have. As Serj said we need pace and power to break up opposition passing and unleash our wingers.

I agree with that too. Our style is perfect for a promoted club, not much change and the players we have already fit well. We are not the typical championship dominating team that has to rip everything up from a promotion season and start afresh. Just more of the same with targeted signings.
 
I wondered but you could take it either way
I suppose he did joke about, if we're now Premier League, would they get paid?
I was thinking if he's concentrating on the Championship he wouldnt be seeing us so often.

Just listening now, they're all pissing themselves as they say it, it is very clearly a joke.

A few weeks ago I'd have said that a centre back was a priority even if we didn't go up. We looked a right mess back there in the winter and early spring. But the three and a half games without conceding right when it mattered makes that look a bit different now. Maybe our defenders couldn't handle playing higher up and taking more risks, but when playing deeper against the stronger sides in the last few weeks they've been rock solid. Or maybe we just switched on and focused a bit when it mattered after a poor run.

Yeah I'm just skeptical of Ajayi staying fit and Egan is getting on a bit. But it's why I'd be happy with just one new CB.

Maybe, but can’t help but remember that the messages he sent to people left a sour taste in the mouth of a lot of city fans. He’d played 5 or so games for us and messages came out that he’d sent his mates saying he was too good for us and was wanting to jump ship when he could.

We shouldn’t welcome him back.

Well then we shouldn't welcome anyone back if you're gonna keep a decade old personal beef with an 18 year old.

At the time the club was a complete sh!tshow.

Grow up.

I will agree with the opinion that the team needs completely new and way better midfield. Otherwise home games will look like against Chleasea . Everything is much faster in premiership and Hull can not defend properly against high pressure (gegen-press), if the midfield is like Swiss cheese.

I dunno about COMPLETELY new, I think Slater could still do a job, although perhaps more off the bench to start with.

From memory, we have done well with 3 at the back, which was normally away from MKM, when we had to go more on the front foot. Maybe in Premier League, teams will come to the MKM and attack, so playing with 3 at the back and counter attacking is feasible?
Obviously we need to strengthen the depth at the back anyway, so maybe spunk a decent amount on a high quality, premier league experienced addition.
 
Just reading the transfer roundabout from different websites... seems Man City are looking closely at Charles Sheff Wed keeper...

Barcelona... what a bit of business Newcastle have done ... Gordon to Barca £69 million plus extras.... for me he's just merrrr... imagine if we could develop Belloumi....

Vardy rumours will die off in a weeks time. John Morris (Vardys agent) of Wasserman has been doing the rounds to just circulate his name in the media in an attempt to get his phone to ring . JD & co aren’t interested.

That just shows how ****ed up the player valuations and worth is. We could easily spend 10s of millions and end up with a hand full of merrrr. Hopefully we can use the learning experience of finding players for nowt while under the transfer embargo to turn up some gems.
