The HCAFC Fan Flap, a short play in two acts.

April - “this team is ****, the squad is pathetic, the manager is a shyster, we need to get rid and start again”

July - “****ing hell, why don’t we have a stable squad already nailed down!”
I had to skip a few pages of this thread as the fanny flap was suffocating.

New manager, clears the decks, has 10 players he wants lined up, all of which will be announced/completed once the outgoings are finalised. Not beyond the realms of posibility is it? I think they should bin off that crap DJ next season and just get some hippy in the centre of the field leading some deep breathing exercises.
 
For those believing Seri won’t be able to play Walterball, or fit in his system, he recovered 5.9 balls a game. Morton was next best at 4.8 and Slater at 3.9. Most of his interception and ball winnings stats are miles infront, he also has the highest passing accuracy from any of the central midfielders.

You can make stats fit your own narrative, but there’s no doubt he will be a huge loss. And no doubt he will be massively missed.
He will yes but that’s more because of how poor the other 2 are out of possession. I think Slater will be given more license this season and will be much better. Everything was tailored for Seri in the midfield last season
 
A RB and striker are due to sign either today or tomorrow.

It’s likely that a couple more signings will arrive while we are out in Turkey given the geographical location (if Zajc is leaving Fener then it can’t help to have him train with us at least).

Between the end of the Turkey trip and Bristol City we could see another four or five and then no doubt as the transfer window comes to a close a few more will come in.

I reckon 11 will come in between now and August 31st. Now that the countries we would probably be buying from are back from the Euros, it’ll probably speed up the process.
Jolly good, attention can then turn to how awful the displays in the friendlies are and based on them the season will be a disaster, same as it ever was. :emoticon-0125-mmm:

Sick of hearing Acun’s ‘won’t stand in his way’ excuse. How about ‘you signed a contract so you’re going nowhere until we get a fee that makes it worthwhile’?

He keeps saying **** like this after putting high values on players. Said KLP wouldn’t go for a penny below £30 million. Went for £16 million. Said the exact same thing about Philogene.

Its all pr talk
Best to not pay attention
Actions speak louder etc
 
The idea that a player's happiness is important and not wanting to stand in anyone's way is all well and good but I fear a precedent is been set making it too easy for players to leave. It's tough to attract players to Hull in the first place and making it so easy for them to move on if they fancy it doesn't seem the smartest thing.

I hope it is just media chat and that the truth is we wanted him gone.
 
It’s just a silly negotiation tactic.

‘£30 million minimum for our player unless err… he says he wants to leave in which case you can have him for half of that *wink wink*’

Problem is he’s saying players can go if they don’t want to be here. You have to play hard ball sometimes. I mean Philogene’s head was turned, but why not say unless Ipswich provide 25 million you aren’t off anywhere Jacob?

Yeh too true. No more so than a player we signed for 4 million then he could move on a month later.
