Not really the point of this thread but I don't agree at all. Abel is massively inconsistent and everyone seems to forget this when he's on a good spell. Long has been playing pretty regularly at a top PL side the whole time since he left us and that's because he's a bloody good player. Yeah, I can't believe anyone doesn't think he was good for us. That partnership was one of the best we've ever had and it still annoys me that it only lasted 6 months. Imagine if they'd been eligible for the cup final. With strikers it's not just goals, but the ability to get the team up the pitch. Jelavic's work rate and hold up play, as well as Long's pace, caused so many problems for teams. They were a great partnership but even one of them alone was bloody good, as we saw in our reliance on Jelavic in 2014/15 when Long had gone. Too often City end up with no proper strikers. Hernandez is a goalscorer, but he'd get a lot more chances to do that if he was playing alongside someone who makes loads of runs in behind or holds it up well.
4.5 years...that's a good deal. 2 promotions a relegation an FA cup final and period of personal issues. Can cram a lot into 4.5 years
That was during his off-field issues, and we don't know if he was carrying a knock or what there. What we do know is it's completely uncharacteristic of Livermore to not chase everything.
Is the Friday lunchtime cut off for transfer registrations just relevant for 3pm Saturday kick offs or is it all weekend matches?
Philip Buckingham @PJBuckingham Olympiacos confirm Omar Elabdellaoui has joined #hcafc on loan until the end of the season. Rather odd that Silva said the deal wasn't close this morning.
I am trying really, REALLY hard to be positive here and not assume that's because Ehab isn't keeping the manager/head coach in the loop.
