    Also, under a new manager, it would be great if we can defend a lead by both attack and defence. We need to be confident in holding yhem and ambitious enough to press them. Meyler will have a role in this for any savvy manager.

    This upcoming season is gonna be a crapshoot. Automatic promotion ? Top 6 & playoffs ? Mid-table mediocrity ? Relegation ?
    All scenarios are distinct possibilities.
    We are a newly relegated PL team, which has lost essentially the core players from our last 2/3 seasons squads. Plus the loanees who fleetingly gave us a glimmer of hope of salvation in the second half of last season. We have a new manager, who is essentially an unknown in English football, but seems smart and has a decent managerial record.
    Our season build-up has been sputtering to say the least. Late recruitment of new players, core experienced squad members leaving during the pre-season and a new manager who is staring a firing-squad perpetually. Hardly a solid foundation for new players & a new manager to "pull it all together".
    One of the best squads in the Championship many seem to be suggesting ! Doesn't seem that way to me for the reasons above.
    We may get lucky, but I tend to agree with Mr. Tash...don't expect too much, but enjoy the ride regardless. I know I will, just like the dawn of of every new season of the last 6 decades of supporting Hull City AFC.

    Do you remember our (the) promotion year?

    I have an old mate (John) who supports them; he bet me £20 they would finish above us. They didn't, the twat moved house and stopped using the pub. He still owes me £20 to this day.

    John liked a pint, or two; his wife liked a gin, or three. They went for a night out and got bladdered. They got in a taxi but couldn't remember where they lived. They managed to get to the large estate and saw a house with lights on at 2am. They stopped the taxi and paid it, knocked on the door and blagged their way into a very busy party. By 3am they were ****faced. Hosts thinking WTF. They searched them, used one of their phones and called the daughter. Daughter has to get a taxi, five miles, pick up parents (lots of apologies) and take them home. She wasn't happy.

    This might of had something to do with him ****ing off and not paying his £20. The **** him.

    Honestly, I'm happy with being in the top half with a chance of getting in to play offs.

    reminds me of when I lived in Hampstead Garden Suburb for a year when I was a student
    I was moving out and the guy who was taking the room suggested we go to pub
    as we were walking to the pub there was a lot of noise from a party and we walked in
    they were very posh so it stood out a mile once we started talking
    the guy said he'd been invited by XXXXX which nobody believed and they all avoided him
    when they asked me I told the truth and said I heard the noise and just walked in and they appreciated the honesty

    Meyler when fit would be one of the first names on the team sheet for me. He offers something we don't have in most positions this coming season and that's experience. Someone remind me of our win ratio when Meyler plays? That's not coincidental either.

    Okay, I take your point, it's been discussed many times. We were relegated, we were lucky to be promoted. A little more finesse would do us no harm. What disappoints is the assumption that other players won't deliver. I have always liked Meyler, but we need more.

    I don't disagree. But there's just too many new players with relatively little to no league experience. Meyler has it by the bucket load. Plus I do find that we play further up the pitch when he's in the team.

    I know it won't happen, but this Paul Onuachu is exactly the type of player City need to transform our attack.
    He's massive, mobile and he knows where the goal is.
    Add to that he's young, affordable and potentially a very good investment.

    Yet the most exciting thing about him is the positive effect he could have on our other strikers. He could make space for the likes of Hernandez, Campbell and Bowen and his knock downs could provide a lot of assists.

    I know that's a lot of 'ifs and maybes' and this is only a Youtube video, but clubs like ours need to know when to speculate and this bloke ticks all the boxes.
    Get him signed (on a decent contract that won't mean we have to sell him for peanuts after one season.)
