Won’t Kieffer Moore be on a lot more than that at Bournemouth? Still can’t believe we jet off for a pre-season training camp on Wednesday with barely enough players to field a starting XI and the rumours are we’re going to sell 5 more players before then. What a joke this has been.
Disagree. What’s the point in playing Lokilo and Longman when they have no future? It’s messy but it also allows young players to get a proper chance to show what they’ve got which they’ve not had anywhere near enough of over the last 2 seasons
Because it shows a lack of planning. If I came back to work in September after the summer holidays and half the teaching staff had handed their notices in July and nobody had been hired to replace them, my opinion of the school would be ‘this is ****ing embarrassing’.
Just catching up with the 1904 club and Baz says the fee for the Jacob/Jaden is more than the reported £35m and includes sizeable add-ons as well.
https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/spo...s/jacob-greaves-jaden-philogene-sales-9396709 Baz now saying that despite getting £35 million+ for Greaves and Philogene, the club is not likely to spend much money this summer and rely on free transfers and loans instead. So there goes that theory that we had to wait until Greaves and Philogene had been sold before we could reinvest it.
Don't let it bother you so much if we spend we spend if not then maybe Acun gets his money back for the club he bought it's not life or death is it so no point in worrying.
im confused tbh by the mixed msg & bizarre strategy. Are we skint?? Did we really go **** or bust last year?? It’s not making a lot of sense right now
It's almost as tiring as the not so subtle, passive aggressive "some/certain people on here...". I get what you mean about the style of play. It looks as though everybody has had a look at Pep's tactics and gone "okay, we'll just do that then". Even England are at it.
Baz doesn't have a clue, just like us, he's just posting any old crap to fill pages for hull live whist nothings happening.... he'll be purposely doing it to create interaction, clicks and comments etc as it just drives traffic and revenue.
Except when we’re in the dying embers of the second half of extra time and Pickford keeps punting it long to Kane (who hasn’t won an aerial challenge during the whole tournament) and giving possession back to the opposition!
Two of last season's star men, neither will be easy to replace. Greaves, the hometown hero, was named in the Championship's Team of the Season while Philogene ended the campaign with 12 goals and six assists - the club's top scorer - along with a flurry of England Under-21 caps. Even if City expected the double departure, it doesn't make it any easier to fill that void and it could be costly at that. In return for selling two of the best, and most sought-after talents outside the big league, the Tigers will recoup a significant transfer fee understood to be in the region of £40m plus some sizeable sell-on clauses, should either leave Portman Road in the near future, but that sale will not see City suddenly armed with a huge wedge of cash, they will not be splashing millions around, that is not a luxury they'll enjoy. Owner Acun Ilicali has been at pains to explain in recent months the club's dalliance with Financial Fair Play (FFP), and how they've been walking the proverbial tightrope in recent windows, particularly after last season's ambitious exertions which saw them invest heavily both in the permanent and loan market in a bid to win promotion, which ultimately fell desperately short. Despite a huge upturn in the last two years since Ilicali's takeover, City's income remains modest compared to other Championship clubs, and because of that, their ability to flex their financial desires in the transfer market has to be tempered somewhat, much to the Turkish businessman's ongoing frustrations. That remains the case, and though the Tigers are not in danger of breaching FFP based on their plans for the remainder of the summer window, there will be no lavish spending on transfer fees that could see them placed at risk. Instead, it's understood City will try to be sensible and pragmatic in the window despite a perceived cash injection. Put simply, if City were allowed to go out and spend big, there would be a desire to do that, but the feeling within the MKM Stadium is that they just cannot do that. Players with the profile of Chris Willock at QPR prove that a sensible approach can still yield success, and they've shown with Philogene their capacity to buy low and sell high, something they could look to do again before the window shuts at the end of next month, but it will not be at expense of causing themselves an unnecessary problem.
