Given the fact that most of the people like you that vote on these 'Polls' couldn't tell the difference between an arse and an elbow, it's quite fitting that it was you that posted it as if it's some sort of 'evidence'.
Meyler to do one.

Where exactly did I say he'd be a good Premier League player? Stop making **** up to suit your own agenda.
He'd be perfectly adequate as an experienced player at a newly promoted side - Cardiff as an example for next season.
He's been mismanaged, had a poor pre season due to injury. He should have had a consistent run of games for us in central midfield. Not in fits and starts - he's obviously on the naughty step. There's no other reason for him not starting ahead of some of the frankly awful team selections of late.

I think Meyler has every right to be in the 18 man squad more than Stewart.
The actual question posed was...
Which Hull City players do you think should be at the club next season?
The massive headline screaming out from the poll which Charon posted is Keep or Sell?
An inaccurate graphic they bunged at the end of the article for some reason...
https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www....otball/vote-hull-city-players-you-1310795.amp
It wasn’t inaccurate at all
It perfectly described how they wanted pollsters to vote
The instruction was ‘Using the app above simply flick through the squad by clicking keep or sell.’
So ‘keep or sell’ was a very accurate graphic
The part that was inaccurate was the headline...although you did miss out the ‘Stay or Leave’ words in the headline
Keep or sell obviously isn’t accurate when referring to players that aren’t ours to sell.
I like the fact we are arguing over a hypothetical transfer that neither the club or player have shown any interest in doing.
Meyler will probably end up in the Championship. Is he premier league class like some make out? No. Is he terrible like others are making out? No.
Decent Championship midfielder who in a relegation battle should be very useful for us currently but he is clearly on some form of naughty step. He has been poor this season, but there are games (Bolton and Millwall spring to mind) when talent is less important and ability to win balls and get stuck in is more important.

Really?, I'd say that is exactly what newly promoted teams need. We've had plenty in the past in the PL - Faye, Boateng, King, Gardner to name but a few, suggest you go back and look at some of our team sheets to see we've had plenty of players in the PL written off by other clubs.

In our second season as a PL team we signed Olofinjana, Ghilas and Mouyokolo. They started 36 games between them.
They weren’t better than what we already had. They added squad depth.
But we didn't know that until we played them. They weren't signed as depth players. If you'd said Stelios, perhaps I'd have more truck with you. If he wasn't already at the end of his career when we signed him.
Meyler could also go straight into the team of a newly promoted PL side. Either that or add squad depth. The only reason he's been poor this season is in my opinion down to non footballing reasons.
Not now he couldn't, maybe two or three seasons ago. Teams are going to sign players in the Summer who have been in good form, Meyler hasn't. I think Warnock is a fan, so Cardiff might be tempted, but with the money going in the PL, they'll easily pick up somebody more talented if they wanted to. I don't think it's down to purely non-footballing reasons. He has a streak of inconsistency about him, he has for a while in my opinion. He'll have a few decent games, but then have a few poor ones. This season he's had more poor ones than good ones, which to be fair you could say about a lot of the team this season. If he's determined enough, he'll bounce back, but I can't see it being with anybody above our level.
He'll go to another Championship side no doubt. Or even to somewhere like Celtic or Rangers. I think his PL days are behind him.
Meyler IMO was not the same after Ireland went out of the world cup. I feel that certainly affected him, and then there has been the behind the scenes shenanigans, as I don't think Adkins likes him as he is too out spoken. Meyler is 28 I beleive, to say he is passed his sell by date is a bit over the top, IMO given the right environment he can still do a job for a Championship side, even a lower EPL outfit.
On his own he is not a stand out player, but in a team he can do a job, as long as the blend/balance of the team is right
