There are better defenders in League 1 than Hector , we might take him on a free but paying up to £3 million for him ? No thanks
Fair enough, i thought i saw somewhere at the start of the season his contract was up. in that case i wouldn't take him, not worth 3 million quid, i know sunday league players that can defend better than him
"Asked where he thought Wilson would ply his trade next season, a smiling Adkins added: “I think he’ll be playing for Hull City in the Championship but that’s me being positive.”
Adkins has every right to be positive - I doubt Wilson would play for Hull City in League 1.

What bothers me about Hector is that over the season he doesn't seem to have improved and repeatedly makes the same mistakes.
Which is perhaps surprising given that our assistant manager was a former uncompromising defender, who you would like to think is having some input into the day by day coaching of Hector and his defensive responsibilities (cross reference Chillo's affect on Big Billy)
Some said once we got to the premier league we were sure to be sold. Not much harm trying the other way.
When Liverpool made changes in The Merseyside Derby they had to play Ings , who isn't really in the mould of their style ,I don't think it's Beyond the realms of possibility to see him featuring for Liverpool , failing that a Newcastle or Brighton will have him . More chance of a full frank apology from Ehab then coming back here for a season . And one of you saddos who dig up old messages can happily ram this down my throat if it happens, I would be too busy ****ing in celebration to see it .

HULL OF A DECISION
Liverpool starlet Harry Wilson at a crossroads after starring on loan at Hull
HARRY WILSON has flown under the radar complained to headline-grabbing team-mate Ben Woodburn.
But the Liverpoool and Wales whizkid has proved he is ready to take off after a flying start to his loan at Championship strugglers Hull City.
SunSport has watched the Welshman, named Championship Player of the Month this week, in action to run the rule over his performances and see if he can break into the Anfield first-team.
Strengths
Wilson, 21, has been well drilled at Liverpool's academy and boasts excellent technique as well as the versatility modern playmaker's require.
He can operate on either flank and is also comfortable coming inside and operating in the No10 position.
The Wales international combines the eagerness and unpredictability of youth with the presence and confidence of an older head.
Hull rely on Wilson to link midfield to attack and the Reds ace pops up all over the field trying to get on the ball and start attacks.
His movement means he will eventually find space and he has the quick feet, agility and change of pace to make him a defender's nightmare anywhere around the penalty box.
Wilson signed a new Liverpool deal in January and was loaned to Humberside, where he has a staggering seven goals and six assists in just 12 games.
His form saw him nominated for the Championship Player of the Month award for April and he also netted his first international goal for Wales in the rout over China - his second of three caps.
Weaknesses
Wrexham-born Wilson has been at Anfield since 2005 and spent two seasons on the fringes of the first-team - with a sole FA Cup appearance to his name.
At 21, he has just 21 first-team appearances - all but two at Championship or League One level - to his name which is a cause for concern.
And after overtaking Gareth Bale as Wales' youngest ever player in 2013, Wilson took five years to earn a second cap and is four behind Woodburn, who has seven.
The wide-man can drift in and out of games, although this may be more a comment on Hull's direct approach to the game.
Wilson is small and slight, making him an easy target for second-flight defenders in a physical duel.
But at times he can turn this into a strength as he wins plenty of free-kicks, which he is adept at taking.
What's next?
While Wooburn can afford to remain in the reserves at 18, Wilson is at an age where he needs to be playing at Premier League level if he is going to reach his potential.
The rising star is unlikely to get much game time in a Liverpool team which is stacked with attacking talent.
Liverpool Under-23 boss Neil Critchley says Wilson will have caught Klopp's eye with his form for the Tigers.
"He’s gone to the Championship which is extremely tough," said Critchley last month.
"It’s a war of attrition that league.
"It’s Saturday-Tuesday every week, and you have to prove yourself every single game. You don’t get a lot of rest.
"He went to a team that was down at the bottom of the table, and they’ve obviously picked up, won some games and he’s contributed to that.
"He’s proved that he’s more than capable of playing at that level.
"If you keep scoring goals, you get noticed. We’re talking about him now, aren’t we? He’s in a really good place at the moment, and hopefully he can carry it on.
"He’s had a fantastic start but he’ll want to finish the season the way he is now and then come pre-season, I’m sure he’ll be thinking of being in and around the Liverpool squad for next season."
Hull would like to extend their arrangement but the best option would be another loan at a top-flight club - preferably one who will keep the ball on the deck.
Woodburn has shown more than enough potential to be a hit for club and country but must maintain his form over the course of a season to prove he can be trusted.
If he nails the next couple of seasons, the sky's the limit for the Dragons prospect.

Hull sits on the side of the Humber so I don' t get offended when people mention it.
Always put East Yorkshire as my mail address but also often get parcels with North Humberside on
He’s one of the ****test, most gutless centre backs we’ve had in a long, long time. He makes Sonko look like Baresi.
Its amazing how many said that despite the massively flawed logic being pointed out at the time. I remember being mocked when I said I thought they’d asset strip and stick around to pocket the parachute payments...
I would say the majority of posters on here have been saying exactly the same thing.
