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

Not going: Lewie Coyle stays at Hull City
“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Luton Town had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Appearance number 100 for Mohamed Belloumi
100 games in this shirt, through managers and relegations and everything else. Service like it is disappearing from the game and the crowd knows what it is watching.
