Hull City new recruit impressed by 'serial winner' as team belief starts to grow
Semi Ajayi says manager Sergej Jakirovic is pushing the players to a new standard.

Hull City's new centre back Semi Ajayi says manager Sergej Jakirovic is pushing the players to a new standard with the Tigers having already seen a clear benefit from his coaching. The new arrival has not held back in his praise for the new Tigers boss, who arrived shortly after Ajayi's signing was confirmed.

The Nigerian international has settled in well to his new surroundings after leaving West Bromwich Albion at the end of last season. Key to that has been the welcome from his new team-mates, but also how much he is enjoying working under Jakirovic, a centre-back himself in his playing days.

Describing the manager as a 'serial winner', the head coach who led Dinamo Zagreb to a league and cup double in 2024 has impressed Ajayi, who is approaching the new season with a genuine excitement. Asked how he has found life under his new boss, Ajayi said: "Really good, he's been very, very clear in what he wants from the boys.

"He's pushed us a lot, and obviously he's a serial winner, so he wants to win and that's what he demands from us. We're all really looking forward to working with him this season and we've already started to see the fruits of it already.

"The players made it very easy for me to settle in. There's a lot of top players here as well, so that's made my life a lot easier."

Jakirovic's style has been welcomed by those who were at the club this time last year when Tim Walter's approach appeared to not sit so well with some of the team. City fans will be hoping the positivity generated within the squad can be carried into the new season against a backdrop of external concerns over transfer fee restrictions and transfer embargos.

Supporters will get a first chance to see what progress has been made when the Tigers take on Stockport County this weekend. The game comes on the back of what Ajayi says was a very productive and positive week in Turkey, capped by two friendly victories.

"To go to Turkey, get two wins and also put in a lot of good work on the training pitch is all we can really ask for," adds Ajayi. "It keeps that confidence building and we get a little bit of momentum. It's all about building habits, the results were not the be all and end all, it was about building habits, gaining the fitness and obviously building the relationships that we're going to need throughout the season. So we've managed to do that.

 

Hull City has reached an agreement with Trabzonspor's John Lundstram. For the transfer to be completed, the player is expected to terminate his contract with his club.

 

Well, he would say that wouldn't he?....He's probably on a play and pay contract. I would butter him'up bigtime. From, me, a fully paid up member of the brownnose brigade.

 

It isn’t a lot of fun at the moment Baz, when you are being told to walk through one of two front doors….permanently , it’s no fun at all. I’ve got two A4 sheets of paper and putting pros and cons Columns on each page. It’s a ****er when you cannot spell and trying to read what you’ve put down…. Dyslexia is a bitch at times… speaking of bitches one of those A4s has her name at the top..

 

that’s more like it big dawggg

 

Tbf the gaffers been second to none

 

Putting up a good performance outside Empress ,when his brother got assaulted.

 

You and me both. Right footed naturally but regularly play left back and can whip a ball in just as well off my left as my right*.




*i.e. **** off both.

 

That’s absolute bollocks. In the last 2 seasons he has 9 goals in the equivalent of 21 full 90 minutes.

 

take a chill pill

 

Our friend Destan's got a funny old manager, oh yeh oh yeh, he makes him train all night til he gets it right...


The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.

 

He's got enough about him skill wise but **** me,,he can slow a game down in spectacular fashion at times!!! Square ball specialist in the Ray Wilkins mould.

 

i cant imagine he went to trabzon on cheap wages, can we even afford his? will the efl allow it

 

Would be peak Hull City for him to terminate his contract with Trabzonspor, then the EFL don't allow us to sign him

 

No idea what he was on at Rangers but some of them are on fairly hefty sums...

 

Destan is gash
Its why theyre giving him away

However
When hes a city player, he can get our full support
Maybe a change in scenarios will ignite him
