Transfer Rumours City Transfer Thread

[Hutch-tiger69]

Well I am assuming we will make some signings before the season gets under way to fill the obvious squad gaps. If Clark and Odubajo go and we genuinely do go into the first half of the season with three senior defenders (Mazuch, MacDonald, Kingsley) then I agree we are ****ed.

I think you are wrong about Marshall, he will be fine.

And as others have commented, we still have plenty of experienced players. They just aren’t yet gelled into a team.

That’s the problem continued upheaval
Last seasons players are just settling in as we saw with results toward the end of the season, now half the squads been ripped out and more upheaval and the signings from last season are going to have to regel with another load of signings (if they arrive)

I hope your right and Marshall shows some form, more importantly will be what kind of defence is in front of him at the minute we have 3 sicknotes and Angus McDonald as you’ve said, i can’t see Clark resigning, I just get the feeling any signings are going to be very cheap and we could be scraping the barrow come end of the window, with no organised proper pre season to gel due to signings not arriving early I fear the worst

It’s a shame the arrogant ones didn’t heed silvas warning about pre season **** abouts

 

[Leon...]

Nah nige will stay. He'll get in some cheap players he wants and mould them into a team. Mid to lower. Were scunny mk2. He'll have done a good job too.

Pretty much as how I see it. We'll finish near the top of the bottom 8.

 

[Amin Arrears]

Last time we were favourites to be relegated from the championship our best ever manager pulled off the impossible and got us promoted.

Maybe worth betting on a top 6 finish, it would be the Hull City way.

 

[ImperialTiger]

Is the YP really suggesting that City have offered Clark a three year contract? Seems far fetched.

1 year with two optional text messages.

 

[kingstontiger]

Do one whilst there's some interest Max. In better circumstances I'd love you to stay, but you're at a club in decline.

Come back when we're rid of the Allams.

I'd suggest Forrest as they seem to be ambitious.

That's the spirit, encouraging our players to leave. Do think this 'you'd be mad to stay here/come here' stuff is just making things worse. Thankful we have a positive manager - know he gets stick for it but frankly if he was as negative as most others, we'd have been down last season. Can you imagine the conversation with Harry Wilson last January? 'You don't want to come here son, it's hopeless, go and save yourself.'

I genuinely would like to see them all leave & us have difficulty signing replacements. It would further highlight what these Football Club Rapists have done to our Club. Stripped it bare & ****ed all signs of life & soul out of it.

Max Clark takes the advice given from me? A silly **** on a football forum? Blimey, I should start charging

C'mon Kingston. Adkins pulled a rabbit out of the hat with Wilson, and well played to him for that.

But what are the chances of that player staying with us, if everything is so rosy at the good ship HullCityTigers1904Minimarket?

I'm quite sure that the players talk to each other about the background shenanigans and Wilson will have seen the resultant departures of McGregor, Abel, Meyler etc as a direct consequence of that. Equally sure that Wilson's 'advisors' will be telling him to swerve City. Wilson probably thinks **** that I'm off as well. It happens every summer in Saturday / Sunday amateur Leagues, better players go to supposedly 'better' clubs.

Anyone half decent will steer clear and only washed up has beens, desperados and young or old no hopers will jump at the chance of a contract with us. There's no emotion with players like there is with supporters. For them (including young Max Clark) it's a job. It's more than that to us and it's very very rare where a player will stay with a club on emotion, perhaps Alessandro Lucarelli is an example of that.

When you next see players talking to each other with hands cupped over their mouths, I really don't think they'll be saying 'ey, that Kempton on not606 reckons we'd be better off somewhere else than Allams Cash Machine in Hull'.

I think you are pretty much spot on.

I do think we can still attract some quality though. If we target young players who played over 25 games (full games) at div 1 or Scottish leagues we could get some gems. Players like that would come to make a name and then move on potentially.

 

[Evington]

Why is anyone blaming LD. He'll be under orders and won't be able to buy anyone.

Why are so many raving, no ones gone, yet, who we didn't expect to go.
Anyone who thought Abel was going to stay needs medication. Same with Larsson and greegsy.

this is why there was no need for a transfer thread until July.

We needed a thread titled 'Outgoing'

I agree .... we could .... but we won't.

What's the lowest number of points a side has achieved in the Championship....
Stats books at the ready come the end of 18/19.
I feel incredibly sorry for Nige...He's a decent bloke, He'll be trying to fight off a group of 23 other marauding clubs with a pea shooter.

Of course I don't think he takes advice from anyone on this board, even if he looks at it.
Not suggesting we should be happy - clappy. I've supported the club for 50 years and this is as bad as its been since about 1998 I reckon. But I do think the pervasive mood of negativity, who would want to come here, why don't they all leave, we are nailed on for relegation (I know you didnt say that but others have) just continues the negative spiral. And simply expressing the view that I'm relieved the manager doesn't share it. Or hasn't so far - I admit it might change!

Agree with this to a large extent – what does this destinism actually serve?

It also comes across as almost childlike in its extreme (sometimes smug) fatalism thus placing any valid critique they might have on the thresholds of plausibility.

It is of no coincidence in my mind that some of these fatalists were previously backing the Allams to the hilt until the ‘quality football’ died.

i don’t, he knew exactly what he was getting into. If he didn’t then he deserves all he gets for been naive

I stopped backing the Allams the second they suggested the name change mate. As for me being a "fatalist", a doom and gloom merchant... All I can say Is, watch and learn.

No hard feelings though, you're 100% entitled to your opinion.

Agree with what you say, including longer length of support, although not convinced about Adkins yet.
It's hard not to get sucked into the negative spiral, with not much to clutch on to (the ladies team, the young lads at Donny being exceptions) and each time you think things have bottomed out they find a new low (Ferriby) as they continue to dismantle the club.
I blame the internet for us not being able to properly present a unified voice against the owners. In times gone by (Chris Needler, Fish/Dolan, Lloyd, the Sheffield Steelers) the supporters could come together quite literally (apart from Best Stand tut - tutting, although that might have been because they got some more rust in the hair) to demonstrate and that provided a positive weekly highlight at the end of some really dark tunnels. Now it's just to easy to vent spleens on here and see that as enough. That's why the clowns don't feel particularly challenged, and apart from having someone goz on his car, why they appear immune from it.
The new kit tomorrow .. used to be keen to see it, now really don't care that much because (as they usually do) there will be some insidious twist from them two.
Hopefully it won't be long before they **** off, but Christ knows what state the club will be in by then.

Hull City and Nottingham Forest target Hakeeb Adelakun could be available for just £250k

Scunthorpe United could receive six times less than their valuation for the winger

Scunthorpe United winger Hakeeb Adelakun could be available for as little as £250,000, according to reports.

Since the arrival of Nigel Adkins in December Hull City have consistently been linked with a move for the 21-year-old and according to the Sun saw a move rebuffed on deadline day in January

The Tigers eventually sealed a loan deal for Harry Wilson, but reports have continued to link the winger to the KCOM Stadium and as he enters the final month of his contract at Glanford.

According to the Sun , City, Nottingham Forest and Sunderland are keen on Adelakun, who will be available for a minimal compensation fee this summer.

The winger has rejected an offer to stay at Scunthorpe, and due to his age his new club will be forced to pay fee set by a tribunal, which the report claims could be fall exceedingly short of the £1.5million Scunthorpe were looking for.

With City willing to listen to offers for Kamil Grosicki and Wilson returning to his parent club Liverpool, Adkins is thought to be keen on bolstering his options in wide areas in the summer transfer window.

However, it seems the Black Cats may be at a disadvantage in the race for Adelakun’s signature this summer due to their inferior league status.

Sunderland were relegated from the Championship last season and despite showing early ambition to bounce back to the second tier under new owners and a new manager, the winger is said to favour a move up to the second tier.

He must only want 2nd tier for a year then as City and Sunderland will probably trade places
