Match

Hull City run riot against Sheffield Wednesday

3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Market

FC Nantes come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Hull City did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets

Hull City baulk at the price for Kevin Schade

Brentford wanted more than $10.5M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Ilyas Ansah at 21 — 7.73

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Ilyas Ansah did not need any: 7.73, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Transfer targets

An offer of $2.1M for Mohamadou Kanté

Hull City have gone to West Ham United with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad

A falling-out at Hull City

Tim Iroegbunam and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets

Hull City rebuffed over Mohamadou Kanté

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. West Ham United have kept their man, and Hull City go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

A move Alex Cairns would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Alex Cairns is living that version at Hull City, and it tends to show in the first month.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Hull City

3 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

In brief
