Abel H

@bbcburnsy: Some good Hull City news, Abel Hernandez has got his Visa. I suspect he'll be on the bench on Monday night. #hcafc

 

Excellent news

 

Finally...another selection headache for Brucey! Be good to bring him on in a winning position

 

oh this is a pick-me-up..

 

That's the kind of circumstance I wouldn't think he'd be brought on.

 

I want to see him start to repay his transfer fee. Having seen Shane Long be an absolute nuisance for Southampton against Newcastle - I am gutted we chose to cash in on him. £6m profit is great, but is this gamble going to pay off?

 

I take it all registration/any paperwork stuff is all already completed then?

 

Abel to start

 

Long was one of our most effective players last season so there was no reason to think that would stop continuing. It was always a gamble.

 

how many goals did the GOAL SCORER long get yesterday

 

It all had to have been before the window closed. Otherwise the FA wouldn't of sanctioned it.

 

You miss the point completely. You also appear to be one of those 'fans' that judges a player only on goals scored. I'm afraid it's simply not that straight forward.

 

When he is your number 9 yes

 

I may have the wrong end of the stick here but Shane Long is a number 7. Fact.

Also if we were to give the number 9 shirt to, say, Paul McShane, does that mean his performances should only be judged on number of goals scored?

 

When hull city pay 7 mill for a striker yes i think i would judge him on goals.. what would you judge a striker hull city had just paid 7 mill on

 

If we're comparing numbers to there traditional roles then Jelavic was the traditional number 9 for us last season. Long was more the quick nippy number 10.

 

Jelavic is #18 so only needs to score half as many as Hernandez, right?

1 + 1 = potato

 

Incredible that anyone doesn't think Long was good for us.

Even if you are a bit dim and do just look at goal records, his wasn't even bad. Along with Jelavic it was probably the best record of any City striker for years.

The bizarre thing is people on here moaned about Jelavic not long ago and Long was seen as the more skillful one. Now Long's gone he was **** all along. We're not Leeds fans ffs.
