    It wasn't just an article in the paper, it was direct quotes from Bruce.

    I've no issue playing Elmo at right back, particularly in the Championship, but on several occasions last season he should have been playing right wing with Rosie behind him.

    Far too often he was pegged back in what we effectively a five man defence, when we should have had Rosie in a back four, freeing him up to the attacking role he's more suited to.

    Particularly against ****ing Burnley at home. <doh>

    Ince has a good goal scoring record in the Championship, but you're getting a bit carried away, in his best ever season he scored 18 in 44 games. That season and last season were the only times he got into double figures, he's got a good record, but could just as easily score less than ten next season.

    It seems we're definitely after Andre Gray, but can't make a move until we shift one or two of our existing strikers...

    http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Hull...elayed-need/story-26843139-detail/story.html?

    I can understand the striker situation delaying things, but the article claims we're also after Whittingham, yet we've not even made contact yet. Midfield signings can't be based on outgoings, we've barely got any left.

    And Brady's back up to £9m. <laugh>

    Realistically, how is Brady actually worth? He didn't play that much last season and everyone on here complained about him when he did

    Look at how much we got for Ince, how much Bournemouth paid for Mings, etc.

    What on earth are you talking about?

    He played 32 times for us last season and people weren't complaining about him. <doh>

    But only 17 league starts, and there were many people on here saying that his performances weren't always up to his standard.

    Very true, I don't want him to leave but I'd struggle to turn down £7m for him. Them again, I'm not sure anyone will pay it though

    Not getting carried away at all; if you take his games by the level they are played at and tweak for circumstances, it is not too hard to look at those most recent 18 games as a bloody good indicator of form at a given level - form with a decent level of pressure on performance - so I can see no reason whatsoever to decide to call 11 from 18 anything other than bloody good figures and exactly what we would be looking for if not for our own crass management of the player. I wonder what frailties we will accept in the player that replaces him - is Whittingham without flaw?

    Think were going to have to be patient in this transfer window, it would appear that city are determined not to get screwed or involved in a fire sale of player's this time around which is good to see, I don't think much will happen till the 11th hour when we'll see it go cracker's, the only problem there is, we run out of time and don't get our 1st choices targets, on another point is it just me, but its been very quite from SB and city not a peep out off either, very little if nothing to the local press(I known there's been a couple of article's in the national press, but to be fair I trust the local press just a little more)

    Why do you actually come on not606? Are you just hoping that one day you'll log on and no on will have posted anything even slightly negative?

    It would be nice to have a couple of new faces training with the rest in Portugal.

    No player is without flaw.

    We'll find out in the coming months just how costly(or not) the sale of Ince was, either way it's done now.

    Totally agree, but the fools who have created this situation remain. It is ludicrous that our targets are known but we are ransomed to sell before we can buy - but this is the way to run the club as a business <doh>

    He's worth as much as someone is willing to pay, like every player.
