Because you haven’t bothered to read the rest of the thread before jumping on and so have totally missed the context of my post. I was pointing out that even the Cat1 academies don’t guarantee a procession of home grown players. It was merely a comment on an incredible statistic.
Hull City head coach Sergej Jakirovic won't have any further additions to his squad for the start of the pre-season camp in Turkey and reinforcements are not expected at this moment for the opening two friendly matches of the summer after the club decided to place all transfer business firmly on hold. The Tigers will make no further additions to the squad until the club finds out the outcome of their appeal against a three-window transfer fee ban placed on them by the EFL, which could come in the next week but is rated highly unlikely that it will come this week before the club depart for Turkey on Sunday. Sources have told Hull Live that the club has two active transfer lists. One is based on the club being handed a ban and, therefore, being restricted to free transfers and loan arrivals, while the other is based on their original targets if the ban should be lifted. Adding to the forward line remains a high priority and something they have not been able to do yet, which is a major worry given their struggles in front of goal. The club remain hopeful of agreeing a deal with Oliver McBurnie, but that deal is on hold for the time being. Westerlo striker Matija Frigan could yet arrive on loan even if the ban remains in place, though the mechanics of that deal would likely come under EFL scrutiny. While it looks unlikely at this stage, even if the ban remains in place for any duration, City have not given up hope of striking a deal for Oscar Zambrano. Given the young Ecuadorian can't play until November, having been banned for a year, there may well be scope to make that happen further down the line. Bringing in a left-back remains a high priority, and the Tigers still want to add in midfield and out wide, but until the result of their appeal is known, little can be done either way, and they remain in a state of limbo.
Reads like just an excuse for when we have no new players & are in the **** by November! I’m being optimistic that it’s that late we’re in the ****!
Huge earning potential??**** pension but if they're still alive and haven't been shot they'll get the state one anyway
Quite annoying the EFL can impose a sanction that comes into immediate effect but then give themselves no timescale to hear an appeal
Pandur Coyle - Jones - McLaughlin - Jacob Omur - Simmons - Slater Lokilo - Longman - Giles That was the team to play our first friendly last season over in turkey! Can we better it this season
Hardly - we'll be something like Pandur Coyle - Egan (or Jones) - Mclaughlin - Giles Vaughan - Crookes - Slater Palmer - Burstow - Joseph That starting 11 has relegation all over it
I'm so thankful that in an unprecedented act of solidarity, all other clubs, most notably our rivals, have agreed to suspend all transfer activity until our situation with the EFL is sorted. It's like that WW2 spirit all over again.
You know nothing about KLP in his younger life or when he first joined Hull City's academy. No disrespect to the lad but if it wasn't for someone in local football spotting him and guiding him to City he would have probably ended up like a lot of working class lads from his background. Dead end job, if working at all, living his life out on a council estate. A lot of people at City put a lot of work and effort to helping to him where he is today. It just didn't happen as if by magic.
