Thats Reading & Cardiff away where Fryatt hasn't started and we've won both! Yes I know Fryatt got the assist @ Reading, just saying.
Some good questions already, but vetting them first what utter nonsense. imo. I would like to know IF the club gets to the PL will the loyal pass holders of the past 6 seasons get priority of a PL season ticket and away match tickets. In other words the fans who just came along for the 2 PL season get put to the abck of the que. Reward the loyal fans incl. the fans who kept there passes after relegation. Far to many undeserving people got PL tickets to the detrement of long term fans. Hope Adam understands this issue. Plus get Vito and Gerrard on permanant deals for starters.
Gerrard was so last season There are far better players than him to be had if a DC is what we eventually look for.
Not sure I understand your point there. If we get promoted and you have a season ticket, are you saying you think someone will take it away from you????? Also, I wouldn't hold out too much hope about Vito. I think we have the Swiss/Bosnian lad with us because Arsenal want too much money for Mannone.
It's time people stopped bleating about ticket distribution in the Prem seasons In the second season, only 2 games were likely cause supply issues - Man U and Liverpool , due to the high number of local ****ers with character deficiencies. For all other games , if you applied when ticket applications were first advertised you were 95% guaranteed a ticket, as the club asked for an allocation from their opponents based on the initial number of applicants and extrapolated the demand from that .
Said last night that City are trying to sign Vito during the summer, but no fee sorted yet. So, how's it going with getting him in, along with the other loanees Brady and King? Also how we doing with getting the home crowd only in the North Stand?
Also with our present squad, are we extending the contracts of the players who we wish to keep. ie: Chester's contract improvement.
What's the progress with the neon HULL CITY sign on the external walls of the KC? Bonus, Bonus, sort it out...
Cannot see there is any point in asking about Summer signings at all. Firstly we are currently outside the window and all you will get is the common reply "We don't want to speculate about another club's player", and secondly, we are in a promotion chase. There is no point speculating on who we will sign until we know which division we are going to be in.
On point one Paul Duffen gave 2 fingers to long term supporters who had seen all the bad times and sold passes and away match tickets on a first come first served., I know many who missed many PL games for the Johnny come latelys. That was my point. As for Vito he wont be that expensive. It can also be spread over a few years Even IF Arsenal stick out for the reported 2-3 million they want for him. Maybe another season long loan deal. Who knows. Gerrard is ours IF we want him. Came from the man himself last night. Having Hobbs - Chester - Cooper - Bradley and Gerrard is a great selection of defenders,,, imo.
Well firstly i didn't miss a single PL away game that i applied for, and none of my family missed out either. I don't think many missed out if any. When we bought players under Duffen a huge problem of it was the fact we are continuing to pay for the transfer fees now, and i don't think we will pay 2-3 million for anyone. When did Gerrard say he was ours if we want him? Catch him in the car park or something?
Thinking about it, McLean has been much better for us away from home hasn't he? If you worked out where his goals have come, there must be a vast majority away from home.
Depends what you mean by completely replace him. Adebola is out of contract in the summer and we seem likely to try offloading Simpson. If we're playing 1 up front next season I expect us to be picking from a new signing who's a specialist at playing on his own up front, Fryatt, and McLean, with Cullen probably retained as 4th choice. From that you're going to have Fryatt and McLean on the bench, either to go 2 up front (Fryatt) or bring on pace against tired defenders (McLean)
I think when summer signings are made people always over-estimate the impact they will have on the rest of the team. For example I was literally the only person on this board last summer who thought Dawson would still have a role to play after Dudgeon's arrival. Whoever we sign in the summer, I'm sure Fryatt will still be heavily involved.
Yes, because there'll be rotation and games where we want to play a different way. If our primary tactic is going to be one up front though I would hope we could sign someone who's a specialist in that role that would be our first choice, especially when we hopefully have the wages from two first team strikers going out to be used for the signing.
I think with the addition of a better winger or two and a creative midfielder getting better attacking support, Fryatt will be okay in the lone striker role, as would McLean. I wouldn't mind seeing another out-and-out striker come in but I can't see us splashing out loads on one when we only play 1 striker every single game. Who would join us with that in mind?
If you're looking at signing wingers then you're going to be sending Brady and/or King back to Man U to free up the space. At which point you're down to Stewart, one signing, and McLean being your wide options. I'd say in that position there's just as much chance of signing a good striker to challenge and partner Fryatt as there is of signing another good wide player.
AP scrapped Duffen's ticket system as soon as he came back, I don't think there's any point in asking him if he plans to un-scrap it. I applied for almost all away's in the Premier League, just as apply for almost all away's when we're not in the Premier League and the only ones I didn't get were Man United and Liverpool, which considering I'd done almost all games for years was bloody annoying, but I'm sure wouldn't happen now.
