How can Hull sign players thought they had a transfer embargo in place?

They are all "Free" Transfers

Can't do any incoming business that includes a fee.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Feels weird that it's back but as soon as it kicks off it'll feel like it's never been away.

 

[Matt Grimes' Beard]

Was it forest ?

It was. 2021/22 2-1 Win

Handy little site for information like this

 

[HullTiger75]

29 goals in 159 games for the blunts, inspired signing

But better than Kyle Joseph who has 0 goals from 16 games for us. In fairness Selles played him out wide for most of his time with us.

I have a real soft spot for Hull. My real Dad came from Hull and throughout the 70s I went to Boothferry Park so many times as we were always up there visiting family, they lived on Hessle Road. Can remember quite clearly seeing the trains arriving at the ground, which had its own train station. Watched the Humber Bridge being built over the years too. At the end of every year (maybe October?) we used to make a special trip up there as they had a massive Mop fair, which was always good fun. Fond memories. Still enjoy our trips up there, my lad and I went up for our game in April. Parents split in 79 so never went up there after that.

The summer break has gone fast but this week has been dragging! Can't wait

Where will the Hull fans go now the Engine is shut?

Cunts had better learn that the queue goes down towards the back of the restaurant then. Nothing worse than the away fans just walking up trying to get served.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Not if he is subject to a move, too risky!

Hamer played 2 games just before we sold him

 

[edgy]

I'd usually do a predicted starting XI at this point during the game week, but I get to thinking about who is starting upfront and my soul dies and drifts away.

 

[edgy]

Been no training photos this week thas there?

Wonder if Rudoni has trained or if Haji maybe considered to start?

 

[Flying Fokker]

Crowd 29K Plus. Released block 5 and bottom of 26.

 

[Viktor17]

Wonder if MVE will be involved? IF his move is close, then no, but may have just been hot air again?

Should really be 30k plus shouldn’t it

Maybe, maybe not. A couple of years back, Hamer turned out against Leicester first game of the season and Wimbledon in the Cup. Then he was off, so who knows?

have we even agreed a fee? no news since the initial reports

I have no idea. I get all my transfer news from here, so I know fuck all!!

 

[Houchens Head]

Stick to Liverpool

Why?

They will probably pinch most of the parking spaces as well

 

[pusbccfc]

Where will the Hull fans go now the Engine is shut?

Dhillons I'd imagine. They'll happily take cash from away fans.

 

[HerneBayGaz]

How about the Wheatshefe

 

[baldy]

This to be a random chaotic 2-2

We have been spoilt in the last few years.... cast your mind back to some strikers we had a bit longer ago, your soul will quickly recover (e.g. I remember Clive Eakin - normally enthusiastic - quite clearly losing the will to live while trying to commentate on our efforts to attack when someone like Marcus Tudgay was brought on off the bench. Tudgay was by no means the worst either!)

Marcus Tudgay header against Walsall away, great times

I hadn't paid attention all summer,
But Simms for a brace, 3-0 win.

Also looking forward to Rushworth(?) debut in goalkeeper, should snag a few wickets if we can hold on til Tea

SportsMole have done a poorly researched preview with match prediction. I'll be very surprised is both Eccles and Wright start the game!

Are we all convinced Haji is that far away? By the time you’re getting minutes on the pitch you’re generally only a week or so off.

I genuinely wouldn’t be suprised to see him start

Not sure we've had any official update have we? But I would imagine he is a little behind the others having not really had a full preseason. For that reason I'd be surprised to see him start (but happy if he does!)

If he's fit for 50-60 mins, I'd start him.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Not only was Forest the last opening day victory, it was also the last home opening fixture. Bloody EFL
