I'm really pleased Amario Cozier-Duberry is coming to the club. With his loans at Blackburn and Bolton, he'll have learned so much.

He's coming to a club that is on the up with a decent squad. He's a decent player and that pace is absolutely needed in our side.

It's a great signing.

Burnley striker Zian Flemming has left the club to join Ipswich Town for an undisclosed fee.

It's a strange one. I had him at Huddersfield [as first-team coach in 2025] and these scenarios went on a little bit there as well.

He got a little bit dejected there and some of his performances weren't great once he wanted to go.

It's difficult now, with the way the modern game's gone. It's not gone the right way, for me.

Players dictate now to the manager what they're going to do. In the times I played, you wouldn't dare do something like that.

He had a great season last season with a lot of goals and assists. He's 27 and it's probably his only chance to play in the Premier League.

I'd say Stoke's a bigger club than Hull in size and stature. It's just the lure of the Premier League. I'm not surprised.

I am led to believe that this was a transfer the player has pushed through himself, that he wanted.

Ryan Shawcross has basically confirmed that by saying the squad will have players who want to be there.

That's saying Sorba Thomas didn't want to be, so it's no surprise he wasn't involved tonight.

The bread and butter part of football is when players leave.

How does the team and the squad go about its business without the player who scored the most goals and had the most assists last season?
