A knee injury of the worst kind for Óscar Zambrano
111 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Hull City lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Hull City turn down Manchester City for Mathys Tel
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Mathys Tel and Hull City agree another 2 years.

Hull City pull $1.5M back off the table
