Hull City becomes Premier League central defender
New twist on Leeds United’s thrilling 31 million pound quest as Manchester United advances towards Liverpool target – 24th News
The Tigers may lose Leonardo Da Silva Lopes after McCann admitted the Portuguese wanted to leave, but the acquisition of Richie Smallwood and Greg Docherty covers that.
Jones is about to finish a permanent signing, with the 22-year-old replacing Ryan Tafazolli, who left for Wycombe Wanderers on Wednesday.
Recruiting manager Darnbrough also defends Josh Emmanuel, Lewie Coyle and Festus Arthur, and made Mallik Wilks’ loan to Barnsley permanent.
“I think it’s okay so far and we need it,” McCann said of recruitment.”We also need to climb more to the front and midfield areas.I hope we can get them to finish before Gillingham (Hull’s opening adjustment in Ligue 1, tomorrow a week)’.
Of Jones, McCann said: “He will give us a smart fortitude in depth. They gave him two very smart loans, one in Scotland and the other in England. He brings a great deal of delight from two other leagues.”
“It will be a blow to us, there were some clubs after him.”
Jones played senior football for the Saints, but had loans for St Mirren in 2018-19 and Gillingham last season.
McCann now has a greater combination of left and right-backs, and delights youngsters with teenagers Jacob Greaves and Sean McLoughlin worried about tomorrow’s team for the first League Cup match in Sunderland.
“We feel like we have two smart kids under Wijs (and Reece Burke),” McCann said.”We had a bit of imbalance with 4 central defenders on the left side and two on the right side.(With Jones) they have 3 on the right side and 3 on the left side and each of them is gnating the piece.”
De Wijs lost his job at the end of last season and captaincy when Smallwood signed, but McCann says he is committed to the club, unlike Lopes, who has just received preseason education after an illness.
“Jordy has been first elegance since his return,” he said. He signed a contract for this year and year.”
“Leo has to go, he told me very obviously at the end of the season.There have been some gifts for him, still for the club’s evaluation.”
