Indeed.

Hope they come calling. Need that $$. We are FFP broke.

Been banging my drum about a defensive midfielder today and lo and behold Everton signed one today. Bit young tho.

Not sure I would trust any of the players in our squad that I mentioned or the ones you mentioned over Delph in that role and he just retired didn't he? Am I worrying too much? Who knows. Romeo Lavia (supposedly an exciting young DM from Man City) has just signed for Southampton.

Personally really feel like we need a defensive / central midfielder this window and the longer it goes the less players will be available. Some big names have already moved. Denis Zakaria went to Juve in January. This summer Aurélien Tchouaméni to Real, Frank Kessie to Barca, Kalvin Phillips to City, Yves Bissouma went to Spurs, Ryan Gravenberch to Bayern. But smaller names are moving too like Boubacar Kamara already moved to Villa on a free (hope we at least tried on this one). Salih Özcan has moved to Dortmund. Fulham just signed Joao Palhinha (who we were linked with), Leeds signed Marc Roca and now look like they will get Tyler Adams. Corentin Tolisso moved to Lille on a free. Napoli sigend André Zambo Anguissa. So who do we go for? In the EPL, I doubt anyone worth getting will want to join up with us after witnessing our last campaign. Can Conor Gallagher fill that role? Would be hard to get and seems more of a box to box. In the Bundesliga Florian Grillitsch is available on a free but I am sure multiple clubs are in for him. Getting anyone from Leipzig would be expensive like Laimer. In Italy, Guilio Maggoire is in his last year and will most likely move but I bet he stays in Italy. Maybe someone from Juve as part of a Moise Kean deal? I wish I had ideas. I am no scout. Just hoping that Thelwell / Lampard have some ideas. If we roll into the season with just Allan, Doucoure, Gomes, Davies, and Gbamin I would be worried both on the pitch and in our books. Maybe one of them will step up though and prove me wrong? Maybe the likes of Warrington and Onyango can step up?

Dennis might be worth a punt but not if it means we have no money for a defensive midfielder.

Wonder when our second and third kits will be out? Wonder if it will happen before the pre season games in America?

Not been a consistent starter for years. Not the profile of the player I would seek out. We already have too much experience with players happy to collect a wage. If it is not just journalist jarg then I guess we will have to trust in Frank and Thelwell.

Wonder why we keep getting linked with this guy while no other teams are? Seems more like a box to box vs a defensive midfielder (which is what we need).

All this talk has me thinking about this. Hopefully less malakia in the future.

Given our finances it is a smart offer. Lots of deals are not paid up front and so it is sort of normal. Hull fans just aren't used to offers for their players so I understand the reaction... hahahahaha.

ah

Thought his contract was up this summer and the reason for the current extension on offer for 2024?

Seeing that the name has a turkish flag by it and the handle is HullCityStats - I doubt it. Looks like a fan.

Here is supposed consortium member John Thornton chilling with Bannon and Farage. Apparently Thornton is in the 2019 Steven Bannon documentary (haven't seen personally) giving his support of the man and encourages Bannon to be the intellectual entrepreneur for the populist-nationalist uprisings of our time. Get that all super rich folks have dirty hands but would not be very excited about these connections.

indeed

Over heard folks calling him James Tar-scouse-ki in a twitter space the other day. Quite like the sound of that.

JJK is a blue and all the best to him in his journey. Schalke are back in the Bundesliga. Wonder if he is going back there?

Kenny is gone and so the first part of your wish has been granted. Just need to see the number assignments.

also wonder what kids would think if there was not a premiere league logo on the shirt...

sincerely the same. as a club we are a mess financially. almost went down. as far as morals go, would assume the USM involvement is much worse than gambling. understand people need something to gripe about but let's be picky once we put out the fires and not argue over the quality of the water we are using to do so.
