I'm beginning to doubt Slutski's excellent relationship with Abramovic. He knows him through work, that's all. I know loads of people through work. None of the ****ers ever give me resources to make my job a piece of piss however. Even when it's their ****ing job to. Trust no one who says they can make your life easier. They never do.
I dont doubt their relationship, I do think Slutskys targets were perhaps unrealistic. He's tried to attract players way out of our league and he's realised its not that easy bringing certain players to Hull.
Well don't include Silvia in your analogy then perhaps? I guarantee Bruce was looking at different level players in the Championship from when he was in the Premier League.
Silva attracted players when we were going down so I don't go with all this **** about players not wanting to come here. We are city of culture spread the word
We signed players not getting a game at their club, who got to.play in premiership (and showcase themselves), all while taking a big pay day. Not been asked to drop a division, take a pay cut, and have to move to hull.
Aye, but when your speciality is gambling addicts, assorted misfits and people without lockers it may make recruitment a little easier.
Perhaps my analogy wasn't simply referring to The Championship. We attracted good players regardless of 'league'.
Rybus is primarily a winger, at least he was in Russia. I don't know if Lyon used him as a LB, but he didn't feature for them much last season. Presumably he would be a loan from Lyon, we couldn't afford those wages in the Championship.
It's always been hard to attract players here because of our location but we've always managed to attract players good enough. However when you throw the Allams into the mix it complicates things a little more as I'm sure slutsky has found out. All we can do is hope
Suppose if he's been a LB and a winger, it isn't beyond the realms of possibility he can play as a wing back.
