HDM Sport on Facebook HULL City's imminent swoop for Robert Snodgrass has raised questions among Newcastle fans. The Magpies were linked with a move for the Norwich winger, but it's the Tigers who have landed their man. "Players are turning us down to join the likes of Swansea and Hull!", complained Newcastle's Footymad website. Sunderland were also linked with the Scotland international, but club officials are said to have baulked at the £7m price tag, according to the Northern Echo.Blades won't sell Maguire 'on the cheap' SHEFFIELD United have issued a new warning to potential suitors for Harry Maguire. Hull City and Wolves have so far been linked for the League One side's star defender, but The Blades have rejected offers worth £1m and £1.5m from Wolves, despite Maguire wanting to postpone talks about improving his contract. The Tigers are ready to pay around £2m for the 21-year-old, but Wolves are not prepared to be drawn into an auction. United's managing director Mal Brannigan believes Maguire's admirers will be making a big mistake if they believe they can bully the club into selling their star defender. "At the moment we are looking forward to Harry coming back for pre-season training", Brannigan told The Star in Sheffield. "We are not looking for any more bids." Reports of Nigel Pearson's Leicester City making a move for Maguire have been quashed by sources in the East Midlands.Bendtner leaves Arsenal – officially THE prize for the least surprising transfer news today goes to Arsenal – for announcing Nicklas Bendtner will not be back at the Gunners next season. Bendtner, 26, made 171 appearances and scored 47 goals after joining Arsenal from Copenhagen in 2004. The Danish international striker, who has repeatedly been linked with a move to the Tigers, also had loan spells at Birmingham City, Sunderland and Juventus. He was fined by Arsenal in March for making an unauthorised trip home to Copenhagen, with his final appearance for the club coming on February 2. Stewart's prospects look bleak at Leeds CAMERON Stewart's future continues to be in doubt at Leeds. A deal had been in place for United to sign Stewart on a three-year from Hull City this summer. However, reports have suggested that new owner Massimo Cellino had started having second thoughts over the winger. After signing on-loan with a view to a permanent deal in January, the explosive winger struggled to have any kind of impact at Elland Road and was often criticised by Leeds supporters for his poor performances in the second half of the season. Now BBC sports broadcaster Adam Pope has confirmed on Twitter that Stewart, who is due to sign a three-year-deal on July 1, was absent from training yesterday.Henderson pens deal at Crawley CONOR Henderson has become Crawley Town's seventh signing of the summer after a glowing report from Tigers boss Steve Bruce. The 22-year-old left Arsenal last summer in order to join Bruce at Hull City, but was released this summer having failed to make an impact at first-team level. But Crawley boss John Gregory has spoken to Bruce about Henderson, who was a stand-out player for the reserves last season. "He was highly regarded at Arsenal but then suffered a bad knee injury which affected his progress," he said. "I have spoken to Hull manager Steve Bruce at length about him and he speaks very highly of Conor." "He is coming down a level to play for us but he sees it as a move which will progress his career in the right direction. He's very skilful, passes it and keeps possession well and is a threat in the box too."Ex-Tiger Paynter joins Carlisle FINALLY, former Hull City forward Billy Paynter has agreed terms on a two-year deal with Carlisle United, which will keep him at Brunton Park until the summer of 2016.
