I'd say so, purely on the basis that we didn't have the annual situation of losing everyone who's contract was running out. We seem to have kept who we wanted and got rid of those we didn't, which is a very refreshing change.
So am I my lad is desperate for one. I’ve missed out on them every time they’ve come back into stock.
A big unveiling of the new shirt, and some marquee signings with Acun's big smiling face on our lovely new pitch is a great way to boost membership sales though
No confusion here, you wrote: ‘…for the likes of Odubajo, who dared to suffer an injury ‘ I didn’t mention ‘expecting unconditional loyalty’ either. I haven’t read or heard anyone expecting such extremes from players, where are you getting that from? As if it’s ever a choice between slavish unconditional loyalty and its opposite? Hyped to say the least. And don’t be so naïve about this being ‘stopped now’.
Wasn't Odubajo in a bad place mentally though and that was part of his desire to leave. I'm just gutted for him really, he looked like he'd go on to be a regular PL player and he hasn't been the same since by all accounts. I don't hold any badness towards him, he had some terrible misfortune and unfortunately in a career these things can happen. It's why I also find it tough to criticise a player making a move for money.
Memberships go on sale on Wednesday and I believe the new players are due to arrive at the start of next week, so you'd assume the new signings and new kit will be announced immediately before then.
Hull City remain hopeful of a breakthrough in their quest to sign Nathan Baxter from Premier League Chelsea. Baxter spent last season on loan at the MKM Stadium and impressed sufficiently for the club to want him back. It had been suggested that Baxter would be given a chance to impress Blues boss Thomas Tuchel during a summer of significant change at Stamford Bridge, following the takeover by Todd Boehly. Discussions earlier this summer between City and the Premier League outfit were proving challenging because of the change in ownership on the King's Road, but Hull Live understands the Tigers have been given encouragement that Baxter will be allowed to move on this summer.
