Transfer Rumours City Transfer Thread - Jan 19

Apparently we have another free defender lined up if De Wijs is out for longer than expected. Just bring him in rather than **** about.

No idea who it is?

 

John Smith from hessle men's 3rd team

 

He’d get straight in the side. Tell him to bring his boots!

 

Oh, sorry to hear that, Chazz.

 

Can we have them all?

 

Is De Wijs made of paper?

 

It’s no surprise to see yet another decent player left completely in the dark regarding his contract.

Just **** the **** off Ehaw!

Hull City captain Markus Henriksen says he had no intention of leaving the KCOM Stadium during the January transfer window, despite French club Bordeaux failing with “a couple of offers” last month.

Henriksen was a prominent target for the Ligue 1 side, who had hoped to use his uncertain long-term future as a means of luring the Norway international across the Channel.

City’s refusal to sell ahead of Thursday’s deadline ensures Henriksen will now stay in East Yorkshire until at least this summer but the skipper maintains he had no wish to abandon a promotion bid halfway through.

“A couple of offers came in but the owner said we wouldn’t sell anyone, no matter how much we get. They kept their words,” said Henriksen, who will lead City out at home to Stoke today.

“I’ve been aware of it but I’m very happy to be here because I really believe we can do something this season.

“This is my third season and the positivity is getting better and better. There’s been a lot of tough times in this club, you can’t hide, but I feel now the passion we show for the club is giving supporters faith.

“I feel a responsibility. I’m one of the senior players who have a lot of experience. I’m not the type of guy to leave in the middle of something. This was the best solution for everyone.”

Henriksen’s commitment will be clear until the end of this season but there is still a question mark over his long-term future.

The 26-year-old is out of contract in June and City have not yet shown any indication they will trigger a 12-month extension clause in the deal he signed when arriving from AZ Alkmaar in 2016.

“I’m open for signing a new contract but I still haven’t heard anything,” said Henriksen. “The only thing I can do is focus every day on getting better and helping the team.

“Every footballer, it doesn’t matter what you do for work, you want to have some clear answers.

“We have a couple of players in the same situation and it’s only positive to do it (hold talks) earlier than a little bit too late.”

Henriksen’s immediate focus is on inspiring a response from last weekend’s 3-0 loss away to Blackburn when Stoke visit the KCOM today.

Liam Ridgewell, a free agent signed on deadline day, could feature in a defensive line badly depleted by injuries but Henrisken is confident Nigel Adkins now has a squad capable of making up the deficit on the Championship’s play-off spots.

“The window is closed now and I’m very happy that we got Liam at the end,” he added. “We needed defenders.

“We don’t have the biggest squad but we have a good squad. Everyone knew we needed a couple of new players. We got two and I believe in the squad we’ve got.

What's happened to Hull City's one-time boy wonder Josh Tymon ahead of KCOM Stadium return?
“Players like Kamil (Grosicki) and Jarrod (Bowen), a lot of big clubs have been linked with them.

"But it’s massive to keep them. They give us such a big threat going forward.”

Just as a matter of interest, Max Clark played in centre midfield yesterday in their 2-2 draw with Heerenveen.

 

Oh no he can't

 

Not even from the penalty spot

 

Is that the posh way of saying trial?

 

Maybe it’s some type of orienteering thing?

 

What’s happened to this then?

 

Nige said in the pre match interview it won’t happen. The injured are close to full fitness. By injured - I mean those that aren’t permanently injured.

 

Passes his trail, sounds like some cross country activity!

 

That’s good then, if correct
Cheers

 

Thought Nigel said that the deadline for free-agents had shut so maybe this Danny Lupano will be signing a pre-contract agreement and join in the summer?

 

He's a young boy who's just been released from Birmingham, having spent less than six months with them after they snapped him up from the hotbed of footballing excellence which is Solihull Moors academy. I don't think that he's gonna be pulling up any trees for us, in any capacity, in the near future.
