Hull City Coach Reassures Fans on Transfer Activity
Hull City coach Dean Holden has delivered an insight into the Tigers' ongoing transfer dealings, reassuring fans that the team is on the right path. The club has made several signings, including goalkeeper Jack Butland and defender Oscar Zambrano, with more players expected to join in the coming weeks.
What's Behind the Scenes?
Holden revealed that the club is constantly being linked with players from around the world, many of whom have no foundation. However, he assured fans that the work going on behind the scenes will yield positive results. "We're calm because we know what's going on behind the scenes, we know the phone calls, we know the players we're speaking to, we know the deals that are being lined up," he said.
The Importance of Character
Holden emphasized the importance of character in the players the club is signing. "The character side of it, we talk about a lot, Sergej, he says it in nearly every interview about character, and that's what he strives for the most in a player," he said. The coach wants to bring in players who want to come to Hull City for the right reasons and have the right mentality.
What Comes Next?
The club has been offered several players since winning promotion, and Holden acknowledged that it can be frustrating to wait for the right players to join. However, he reassured fans that the club is working hard to bring in the right players. "The longer that goes on, the more frustrating it'll become cos as I said there, we wanna be able to work with these players and that's why trips like this, you want a batch of players to work with but it's not always the case, so the quicker we can get them in, the better of course, but we want the right ones in," he said.
A Squad Capable of Competing at the Top Level
Holden's goal is to bring in players who can help the team compete at the top level. "We've got to get the right ones. It's hard at this level, isn't it, to recruit because you're trying to get everything in a player, and he's got to work financially for the club as well," he said. The coach is confident that the club can find the right players to help the team succeed.
A Business Approach
Holden compared the recruitment process to a business, where the club needs to make smart decisions to bring in the right players. "It's like business, isn't it? We found a way last year. Obviously, Jared's (Dublin) left, as everybody knows, but we found a way last year to recruit players for the job we needed, and that's what we need to do again," he said.
Conclusion
Hull City coach Dean Holden has reassured fans about the team's transfer activity, promising a squad capable of competing at the top level. The club is working hard to bring in the right players, and Holden is confident that the team can succeed with the right mentality and character.
