    Stick Niasse up front, could do an awful lot worse. Obviously not going to happen however.

    Keeping this lad is important, but maybe signing the other one would be good too

    Is it lazy reporting to always link back a player to a former club? Feel it's dumbing down and it becomes churn rather than an interesting news article with some research and insight.

    The whole - ex-tigers released who are free story springs to mind and the piece from the HDM which I saw from NewsNow about Ling which ended up talking about Akpom at the end. It's just boring!

    Asked how close he was to adding to Moncur this week, McCann told BBC Radio Humberside: “Fairly close.

    “It’s been a good week in terms of what we’re trying to do, so we’re hoping to try and announce another couple this week.

    “It’s difficult at the minute, because when you’re speaking to agents at this present time, they still think you’re in the Premier League.

    “But we’re trying, and one thing I can guarantee the Hull City fans is we’re working very hard to try and make this squad competitive for next season.

    “We are very close on a couple of signings. Hopefully, there might be one or two coming through the door this week, but we’ll wait and see.”

    I agree, the easier thing to predict future transfers in, is, “players that have played under MCCann that are on a free transfer.”
    Although that would mean the reporters actually need to do research.

    Easy Decision To Commit My Future To Hull City - Jones

    Alfie Jones says there was never any doubt in his mind about extending his stay with Hull City when the opportunity arose.

    Jones joined the Tigers from Southampton at the start of the 2020/21 season, initially signing a one-year deal with an option of a second year. However, the 23-year-old’s impressive displays during the Club’s League One title-winning campaign, in which he played as a centre back and defensive midfielder, brought the offer of a new two-year contract, with an option of a further 12 months, and Jones was delighted to sign.

    “I’m delighted to have put pen to paper and I’m just looking forward to the new season now,” said Jones.


    “I’ve loved my time here so far. It took a while to get going but, once I did, I never looked back and I’ve loved wearing the shirt. To win the league topped it all off and now signing a new contract just adds to it even more.

    “It was an easy decision to commit my future to Hull City – it was what I wanted. I loved every minute of the journey we went on together last season. It’s a great club with a great set-up, a great bunch of lads and a great staff so I didn’t have to think twice when the offer of extending my stay further came along.”

    Jones played 39 times in all competitions in 20/21, with the majority of those appearances coming during the second half of the season as he became a key player in the side that went on a 14-match unbeaten run to claim the League One title, and he says the aim now is to kick on in the Championship.

    “Getting that run of games in the second half of the season was great,” Jones continued.

    “I wanted to come here and play, and to have that unbeaten run of 14 games was amazing. I’ll never forget the experience of the back end of last season.

    “It’s all about kicking on now and trying to keep that consistency of playing well week in, week out that we found over the last few months. We want the club to keep pushing on now.

    “Personally I’m looking forward to testing myself at Championship level. It’s the next step for me having not played in that division before so I’m relishing the opportunity and I can’t wait for pre-season to start.”

    Looks like we may not be getting Regan anytime soon
    Apparently Grant has said its proving difficult and is
    keeping his options open. Reading between the lines
    he is either too expensive or they want to keep him...

    They want to have a look at him in pre- season.

    Slaters terms arent likely to be an issue if he's out of the picture at blunts, but itll be late in the window if it happens.

    A lot of it is simply reporters trying to fulfil their contractural column-inches with little to write about 'til the footie starts again.

    As long as you and I continue to fall for the click-bait, then the hacks will continue to write the same bollocks.

    Alfie Jones is an upgrade on Burke in my opinion anyway.

    Burke is a loss as he would have been good cover for Greaves & Jones but you can understand his wish for 1st team football.
