I don't begrudge the lad a move like this. Always gave his best but sometimes was not as good as required. I'll keep an eye on him this season.
Don't get why people seem to think that a defender is bad because they were in a team that was relegated. One player cannot singly carry an entire team. You can construct a defensive line up of - Valdes/Pickford/Jakupovic Maguire Ben Gibson Callum Chambers Robertson
I'm not sure how you can say that with certainty. The majority of Scots I've met are made up of 90% alcohol.
1. I don't drink that much. 2. How can I be Scotch if I support Hull City? You think I'm a glory hunter?
Going by the OWS, this is the first team squad GK: McGregor, Marshall (injured), Mannion RB: Lenihan, Odubajo (injured), Aina LB: CB: Dawson RW: Grosicki CM: Maloney (out of contract), Henrikson, Batty, Meyler, Mason (injured), Olley, Clucas, Weir, Evandro, Stewart LW: S: Hernandez, Keane (injured), Campbell, Bowen, Diomonde, Luer
That is a crazy player turnover for 3 years. The league yoyo'ing obviously is a factor. But damn!!!!!
the turnover is added to by the fact that the club lets good players leave and then has to buy/sign/pay two or three before getting an adequate replacement
I thought it was bad looking at the FA Cup team on Amber Nectar, Meyler and McGregor also the only ones remaining. But this is worse, it shows the whole backroom infrastructure (apart from John Eyre) gone as well. How to destabilise a football club, whatever division it is in.
I think the most telling line coming from the photo of Stewart holding a shirt is: 'The Tigers have strengthened their squad with the arrival of Kevin Stewart,' which might conceivably mean he's the last of any signings....
Staggering. As yet another week ends. To have gone through a 2 week pre-season training camp, with 3 friendlies played after tomorrow, and yet that's the shambolic state of our squad. And to have risked going through it with only one senior ageing CB. It beggars belief. Enob, taking the piss big style. I actually believed his lies earlier this close season (communication, 90% done early, and the other BS). I then thought that ok, it's going to happen during this last week. It hasn't, in fact it gets worse given Grosicki is now likely going (not a surprise I guess), and now hearing the sort of players we are being linked with (not good enough for supposedly lessor clubs costing next to nothing). Ehab Allam. Football genius. Just **** off. Maybe best all round if Slut walks.
What's everyone thinking for cb? Shotton and the guy from Prague with maybe Kalas or Hector from Chelsea? I don't think Elphick would be a bad signing from Villa.
