BREAKING NEWS: Hull City ought to try to steal £6 million. Fulham, Birmingham City deal: View​

It would be accurate to state that many players are competing in categories much below their current skill level throughout the English football pyramid.

Naturally, a lot of things will influence the decision-making process, like salary packages and aspirations. However, these haven’t seemed to be problems at Hull City in the last few seasons, given the well-reported and prominent additions to squads made during Shota Arveladze and Liam Rosenior’s two and a half years as the team’s previous managers. Acun Ilicali is the newest manager to oversee the East Yorkshire club.

Tim Walter’s first competitive XI, which plays Bristol City on August 10, has angered supporters, who have demanded a plethora of additions in the upcoming weeks of the transfer season.

The 48-year-old has identified numerous areas within the present team that lack the quantity and quality necessary to improve on Rosenior’s efforts from a seventh-place finish in the previous campaign. One of those areas is the striking department.

The last thing City supporters would want is to see a League One team pursue a permanent deal for a great player who was recently linked to a transfer to the MKM Stadium after missing out on two reported targets in the form of Zan Celar and Kieffer Moore to QPR and Sheffield United.
