Pandur - done
Sharp - done
Carvalho - done
Giles - done
Ohio - supposedly done
Ömür - supposedly imminent
??? domestic RW that walks into the team - anyone's guess at the moment... Though this talk of 4 or 5 options suggests it may not be the initial player, whoever it is/was.

Still, a potential 7 signings in January, which mostly offer vast improvements and strength in depth (on paper) isn't to be sniffed at.
Only Ben Arfa left to top it off.

10/10 for Acun & Tan. They are working miracles, the Ehab years feel like a distant memory.
I just hope this is sustainable & not **** or bust :emoticon-0106-cryin

If McVitie's starts making redundancies you know there could be a problem. I've just been out and bought a 16 pack of McVitie's Penguin bars from Sainsbury's and I don't even like them. That's what you call supporting your team.

Before you read this, what year was the Jaffa Cake first introduced? Well done if you can get it within 5 years...

Hull City are delighted to announce the loan signing of attacking left-back Ryan Giles from Premier League side Luton Town.

The 24-year-old has joined on loan for the remainder of the 2023/24 campaign, with the club having the option to buy him permanently at the end of the season.

The full-back has made over 100 Championship appearances across loan spells with Coventry City, Rotherham United, Blackburn Rovers and Middlesbrough.

Giles excelled at Boro last term, registering 12 assists in 48 appearances to help Michael Carrick’s men reach the play-offs.

Earning a club-record transfer to Luton Town last summer following their promotion to the top flight, 11 of Giles’ 14 appearances for the Hatters this season came in the Premier League.

The former England Under-20 international progressed through Wolves’ youth ranks, winning their 2017/18 academy player of the year, and has also had spells with Telford United and Shrewsbury Town.

Head coach Liam Rosenior said: “I’m absolutely delighted that Ryan is joining the club and that he’s decided to come here. He’s a top full-back at this level and we want to improve and develop him with us.

“He’s going to make a huge difference to our team, give us balance and a real attacking threat on the left side of the pitch.

“He has played a lot of Championship games, brings experience of promotion pushes, fits into our style of play and has outstanding athletic ability and technical quality in the final third.

“I like attacking full-backs and Ryan is one of the best in the league.”

Im confused about LR’s comments, I thought Coyle and Slater gave balance and attacking threat down the left side.

One of the stars of the film "Loaneeless of the Long Distance Runner", Tom Courtenay, was born in Hull and is an avid City fan. Hails from 'Essle Rerd" just like our famous member of this forum.

The character played by Courtenay was called Colin Smith, which coincidentally was the same name of a 1950's/'60's Hull City centre forward. (RIP Colin Smith).

Acun has done his job and backed LR, there surely has to be pressure now to get top 6?

This is a huge test for LR and he certainly has the tools, if he can integrate the new signings and get us winning games this is going to be a very exciting time indeed, my biggest worry is the loanees, feels a bit boom or bust about it as if we don’t go up we are losing a lot of key players next season.

kudos to all concerned though. Great time to be a city fan

The remainder of the season now is a big test for LR, if we hit play offs or very narrowly miss out then I'm not sure they'll be many complaints internally, but if we fail to now compete and finish a way off then I'm not sure Acun will keep backing him like he has and I'm not sure LR or anyone could have any complaints.
 
I do worry that there is now pressure on Rosenior. We’ve gone from just 2 or 3 to signing half a team. The progress is clear to see, Rosey is a fan favourite with a genuine link to the club and I hope he’s here for years to come. To be honest, I don’t think he will get sacked unless we’re bottom half and playing utterly ****e in November time.

Financially I am a little nervous we are throwing a lot of eggs in one basket but I suppose all we can do is keep our fingers and toes crossed that our owners aren’t waltzing down the merry path of doom that countless rich and exuberant championship club owners have walked down before.

Baz adding a bit of insight in his latest article about why these deals make sense. Touches on what they are trying to build ready for next season (if we don't go up this season that is).
