You don't think a striker that scores approx 1 in 2 needs replacing? I'm willing to bet with you we have nobody else in the team that returns that this season
I'm annoyed at how light we've left things up front given all the talk from Acun about focussing on strengthening there, but everything else we've done is class.
But we haven’t been starting him his role this season would’ve been to come on after Delap has run into the ground, and he’d be behind Connolly also.
I can't actually believe we let Oscar go without a replacement. Absolute madness when we had no fit strikers at times last season.
So, looks like the club is hoping for top 6 with striker options of Delap and Connolly plus a few options of others that could fill in (as in square pegs for round holes). Utter madness. Naivety. I'm a bit gobsmacked tbh and really disappointed.
No idea if Rocket Morton is any good. I have seen him play but can remember **** all about him. I am sure that if we keep everyone fit, we're in a better place than last year. But the striker situ really smacks of stupidity. I support the regime, but some faith has been lost on my part this window.
Negative or not, even if Rosie knows more about players than me. I’m not sure there’s enough waffle in the world that can justify letting Oscar go so late without a replacement lined up. the way our announcements are going that could still change though
But we have been playing him.. who's coming on instead of him now? We're also only 4 games into the season ffs.
Rosenior on Morton For us to capture a player of Tyler’s pedigree and potential, again fighting off a lot of competition, I’m absolutely over the moon. He played at a high level last season in a team in Blackburn that just missed out on the play-offs. He’s played in the Champions League, Premier League and in cup games for a top club in Liverpool. The fact Liverpool and Tyler believe Hull City is the best place for him to continue his development says a lot about the direction we’re moving in as a football club. Tyler has everything I like in a midfield player. He’s brave and has got unbelievable technical quality, which is important for the way we play. He can see a pass, has a great football brain, understands the game with his defensive positioning and is aggressive. He was our first choice and we’ve had to wait a long time to get it done but I’m delighted it’s finally happened.
I think that's a decent window, but probably leaves us short of enough for top 6. Defence and midfield looking better than last season - as are the wingers. Not sure we have enough up front, but we haven't lacked scoring yet so far this season. On the whole, I'm happy.
Same. I wasn’t bothered about us getting Rak-Sakyi or not. In fact, I’d be less bothered about Philogene falling through than I am about Óscar going with no replacement.
Morton isn’t a terrible fit for the midfield but one loose game where we are light in the midfield and I’m gonna hit the roof
What could you possibly be basing this off other than hope and the fact he's bagged a lucky goal against Sheff Weds and an (admittedly) good brace against Blackburn? The guy has scored something like 11 goals in his career and 5 of those have been with us!
One thing to come out to these transfers is, we are going to top the league with passes TO ****ING NOWHERE, ****s sake, give away last seasons top scorer, buy more midfielders and kids, where the **** are we going with this manager?
