Prediction for Hull City this season?
The transfermarkt squad value comparison above is the cold, hard stark reality facing Hull City this season.
Hull have a monumental task ahead of them to be competitive in the top flight of English football this campaign, and so far the addition of 33-year-old Jack Butland from Rangers in goal is not going to be enough to see them stay clear of the bottom three this season.
