Dare I say it, if we've got multiple clubs meeting our valuation surely we can start to spend with confidence.
I've read the discussion about shopping in different markets based on what we receive but just because we can spend a **** load of money, it doesn't mean we have to spend it all. There's absolutely nothing wrong with leaving some money available for January or even next Summer. We had the biggest headroom in the league plus the KLP money and we blew it on nothing. If we'd have been sensible and built slower, we'd be miles ahead of where we are right now.
There's also the cost of everything off-field. Whether we get 30 or 40m for the pair shouldn't make a material difference to the players we bring in, because as you say, either that extra should be 'bonus' for January and beyond, or I would say it should be going into the Academy and first team training facilities.
100%. There’s plenty of value in the free agency market, McBurnie was available but Stoke have snapped him up already.
It seems Ipswich are the ones leading the hunt for Jaden. Jaden Philogene transfer truth after Manchester United links to Hull City forward - Hull Live (hulldailymail.co.uk)
After all this I bet our first signing is a free, someone we could have signed without selling anyone
Problem is a lot of those free transfers will be highly coveted, especially the best ones. It’s also essential we do sign a few free agents simply as we need players and can’t afford 10-12 transfer fees.
Glad he's not coming here...Decent player on his day, but I'd have pulled out what's left of me barnet in the first month..Very frustrating kind of baller.
Could be telling which players are missing from the flight to Turkey this week! -> Dare I say it, if we've got multiple clubs meeting our valuation surely we can start to spend with confidence. -> You’d think so. Might be why the striker is inbound before the trip to Turkey or maybe just because we're otherwise going on a pre-season training camp without even one striker! -> "It is expected City will play two showpiece friendlies in Turkey during their 10-day trip" I dread to think how we'll line up for these two 'showpieces'!!
Coaches are happy. New Hull City arrival opens up on his relationship with Tim Walter as pre-season gathers pace - Hull Live (hulldailymail.co.uk)
The bids that of come in since the Ipswich news was conveniently leaked are higher and much more realistic and all included a double digit sell on. One potentially includes a loan to us of a sweetener, but that's being handled separately and won't influence if the player says no
Well not strictly speaking us no. But Tan has a good relationship with agents and I’m sure that didn’t hurt let’s say in the convenient leaking
