"You'll see," joked the City boss when asked by Hull Live if anything was close, either coming in or going out. "It's important that we keep our cards close to our chest.
"We are in talks with some exciting players who we are competing for so I don't think it's right for me to talk about anyone at the moment.
"The sooner the better for me. The sooner I get the players in I want, the better it is for any coach. It's a process. You have to negotiate with clubs, you have to negotiate with agents, speak with clubs and then if it's a loan then the club has to release those players because they have to get their players in.
"We're really set. I know the positions we're recruiting in and I pretty much know the players that we're recruiting so I'm in a really comfortable place, so yes, I might have to put the foot down on the accelerator and get those players in."
"To be honest, throughout the Championship, you haven't seen many loan deals because everybody is waiting for Premier League clubs to make their moves, and it's part of the market," he explained.
"It's not the fault of any Championship clubs, if you want your top target, sometimes you have to be willing to wait for them."
"We've got a lot of players and we're making decisions on the players that we might have to move on," he said. "Yes, for me it's exciting in July, it's exciting to sign players but I want to be excited in May at the end of the season.
"We have to be really calm and have a process in the way that we work. So far, I couldn't be happier with the recruitment in any areas that we know we needed to address."
