I'm just so underwhelmed with all these kids. Excluding Hughes. Get we need to have youth but, We already had a lot of youth ourselves and released so many of them them. I dunno. I just want to be excited with a signing like we've been promised. I can't have my "Socks blown off" with Doak from Liverpool like Acun promised. To me it does seem like we've jumped into the bargain bucket to get someone in. It just does.
What's wrong with giving Jarvis an extended run in the team?

Delap, Morton and Philogene were all kind of under whelming last summer, having all had average at best seasons in the championship the year before.....time will tell, but i'm happier signing potential who have the potential to increase in value that players later in their career who likely won't
 
When Acun came in we had the most FFP headroom, plus we've had the 2 big academy graduate sales (which is pure profit), there's no way we should be anywhere close to FFP, but we've spent a lot of money on crap and then a lot on short term signings.

I think it's the definition of badly run.

Impatient
 
I wonder if any of those who are underwhelmed at the prospect of getting Doak on loan have done any research?
From what I’ve seen and heard about him, I’d be pleasantly surprised if he comes to us because I’d have thought he could get serious game time with quite a few Prem or parachute teams.
Can only presume it’s down to the goodwill created by our handling of Morton and Carvalho.

Philogene and Morton I was excited for. After hearing from Blackburn fans how good Morton was it did excite me. Delap though yes I was underwhelmed. I'm not going to deny it. We'll see what Zambrano, Puerta and Doak offer. If Doak does sign. Right now though. I am.sorry but, I'm underwhelmed. Is thst fair?

It's fair to be underwhelmed on initial impression. Labelling it as a panic signing, unwanted liverpool youngster or bargain bin is a bit reactionary like

Bet you are gutted with this news, spoilt your weekend even

Serious note, any idea why, that's about the 4th deal that's fell through for him

From our point of view, two possible reasons jump out to me. One is that we've changed our mind after seeing the response from fans to his name coming out over the weekend. Reportedly the club were quite surprised by the negative feedback, and I suspect they maybe thought it'd actually be popular with fans because he's from Hull. I mentioned earlier this morning that I wondered whether it might fall through due to this.

The other one is that we were probably looking at him to replace Sean McLoughlin as our backup left-sided centre back. Macca supposedly wants to go and play regularly somewhere else, with Blackburn linked all summer. I think we'd lined up Cooper to facilitate that move. So if Macca's move to Blackburn or wherever had fallen through, that would maybe lead to us pulling out of a move for Cooper.

Or maybe he just wants too much money.
 
Deal for Liam Cooper is supposedly now off.

A lot of people here had doubts about this potential move with his injury track record including me. It's good to know the owner has people watching and taking notice of the real brain team, Hull City Not606 fans forum. Perhaps we should set up a website, go-fund-us-now, so he can show his appreciation. Card payment and holiday discount vouchers accepted. Your voice counts!

I know plenty of Blackburn fans who weren’t overly impressed with Morton but I saw him play for them lots of times and thought he looked really good. All about opinions.
 
Just talked to my wife's uncle....coach at celtic....ex Scotland assistant...and he says this kid is a brilliant prospect. Hopefully kicks on with us but surely just a back up?
He's very highly thought of by a couple of people I know up here who do scouting work.Very young and relatively inexperienced but apparently he's on the brink of breaking through and making his mark.

No brainer if we can get him,he's probably perfect for the Championship and I'd see him as more than a back up as Liverpool will want to see some game time and improvement in him.
 
I was expecting Conway or Rak Sakyi for examples. Thomas - Asante. Keiffer Moore. Yo they're sinister reason as to why these signings broke down when we were so close to most of them. You can't be close to so many good championship signings but, they all change their minds at the last minute. Why did they?

Rak Sakyi was always open season and the deal was horrendous anyway. A massive loan fee and a recall clause? Nonsense. Conway we went in for too late after he had already committed/been convinced by Boro.
