On a train between messina and catania in Sicily. Logged on for signing news and membership update as none of us have been called back. Quiet on all fronts eh. Familiar ring about it all.
and that he couldn't leave because we had fired him an email to inform him we had extended his current contract by 12 months AT LAST SOME GOOD NEWS
What is that quoting? Is that the group stage? We had to beat South Korea in the final, they're no mugs.
Every confederation, perhaps bar the current Oceania (in terms of quality throughout), is tough to win in its own right. Away games in the broad variations of Asia’s sprawl are often, if not usually, a tough gig. This is for whoever you are and not just applying to away in South Korea, Iran or Japan etc. If European sides had to do it, no doubt, some/many would come unstuck. From what I’ve seen in recent years, there have been some big improvements from your second and third tier ranking nations within that cohort too. Good stuff – it’s a world game.
Just checking in to see how our transfers are proceeding..............I'll check back in again in a fortnight.
Wait till Villa, with Elmo playing, demolish us opening day of season, then say it's great news. Not overlooking the point that it's another player choosing to move on signalling to others that things ain't right at our club. It just makes Slutsky's task even more difficult. Stupid comments celebrating Elmo leaving.
I don't think anyone at the club or the fans is particularly bothered about him going. He's been iffy for too long now. To get £3m for him would be amazing. Slutsky knows it's one area we really need to improve, hence bringing in Aina.
I was just listening to a the transfers section on TS and it struck me just what a **** deal the ****s who own our football club have dealt us on top of everything else.. last season was a chance to cement a place in the Premiership but instead we were (and are) at the behest of perhaps the smallest prick ever to breathe Hull's refined air. No squad, no manager, no rudder!!!!... here we are 12 months on and instead of planning for another run of premiership games with the riches attached to it and adding 'selected players in selected positions' we are essentially trying (apparently we are trying) to build a starting 11. Thats why, without a benefactor IF and its a monumental if we are promoted anytime in the near future, we would be ****ed before we kick a ball. I think everyones taken their eye of the real problem at our club and its nothing to do with player recruitment.
I don't think Clucas will go. I don't think Robertson will have a club willing to pay our asking price. If it's true about Villa wanting Elmo then i think he'll go. I'm not sure Grosicki will have serious suiters. I don't think Hernandez will leave. His agent has tried and failed to get a move every transfer window since he joined. That leaves a defence of: Robertson, Lenihan, Dawson Two centre backs and a right back would do as Weir can be a back up left back. Or if Lenihan is fit enough and good enought maybe 3 centre backs, one of which can cover full backs. This kid from Chelsea can can't he? Midfield: Grosicki, Henriksen Huddlestone, Meyler, Clucas, Evandro, Weir, Bowen That's pretty strong. Maybe add in a winger depending how Slutsky wants to play. Stikers: Hernandez Diomande Luer Keane Bowen We could probably do with a good strong striker. So in all 5 signings would be enough. 3 at a minimum. We could do with another goalkeeper too...
