I don't really class Aluko as a striker, he's that rare breed that sits in the hole behind the strikers, so that's why I thought we need 4 new strikers in the building
Saying that a striker is only as good as the service he gets & our central midfield has offered absolutely no service to our strikers this season , so 3 new strikers or 4 won't make any difference if they get absolutely no through balls on the ground to run onto. Are we going to see another season of giving the ball to Elmo to put a cross into the box for no one to get on the end of. That's why we only scored 33 goals last season, 1 outlet to the strikers & if you mark Elmo out of the game then no outlet at all.
 
Ridiculous? Let's take a look shall we?

The stated aim when the Allams took over and hired Steve Bruce was to get into the Premier League within three years. Remember that? As everyone knows, Bruce waved a magic wand and did it almost straight away. But here we are pretty much back where we started again at square one, only now, Bruce is looking at a host of players leaving and the rest taking a serious pay cut. Hull City is in disarray.

The task now is to build one of the three best Championship sides, which alone is a huge task to accomplish, not least given that there is just a handful of players to rebuild around. The Championship is no push-over and it is a tall order to get re-promoted in May 2016.

And even if City could win their just third ever promotion to the top English league, the task following is to convert the Championship side into a viable Premier League team - something Hull City have failed to do in their last two attempts.

Steve Bruce said he was considering withdrawing last autumn, and you have to be pretty thick-skinned not to see he is in quite a state. My guess is that Steve Bruce is burned out, and burn out can be chronic. When that happens by far the best thing to do for everyone's sake is to step aside. He's a nice enough fella, and I'm sure he'll discover there is a fine life after a career in the spotlight. Steve Bruce isn't the man to take on the huge task presumably facing Hull City.

Well, my views on Steve Bruce haven't weakened since last May. If anything they've become stronger.

After six games this season we begin to get an idea of what awaits. At the current rate City will not get 77 points, which last year would mean finishing ninth. Similarly, they'll end up scoring about 61, which is what the mid-table clubs achieved. Bournemouth scored 98, Watford 91, and even Brentford who finished fifth scored 78.

Sorry, but Steve Bruce wasn't good enough in 2014 - 15, and he isn't good enough now either. The sooner he's replaced the sooner things will change. Until then, expect more of the same mediocrity.

Mind you, I'm not holding my breath. Assam Allem made a gamble when he became involved with Hull City, and it didn't come off. Now he's left with a business that's going nowhere financially and he's at a loss what to do. My forecast is a mid-table finish next May and a gradual decline like Wigan, Bolton, Blackburn and Cardiff. Welcome back to The Football League.

I have to agree with this, if we keep Bruce!

As you can see on here I backed Bruce but enough is enough, trouble is the Allams won't shift him even though now is the time to get rid
 
All they'll go on is the clubs position as they wont see anything if they're not going to games!
They can always watch Patty's secret internet stream.

But what they'll go on is their cunning, not the league standing. You don't become as wealthy as AA by being nice, and you don't do it without taking a few risks. And taking business risks is based on cunning. What a shame then that AA got it wrong about the KC stadium, about Walton Street, and about the council. AA doesn't care twopence about Steve Bruce or Hull City, he just wants to cut his losses to the minimum. That's why Steve Bruce won't be sacked. But Steve Bruce needs to swallow his pride and get out before his dignity really takes a hammering. He's beyond his best and the only way for him is down.

If he wants to minimise his loss, he wants us to go up.

I take it you pressed post reply before you had the chance to add and stay up.

What's the point to an investor of going up and coming back down again? Going up and staying up = a huge transfer bill the way this lot do things, and even a huge transfer bill guarantees nowt without very competent people in charge. AA wants everything for nothing. Steve Bruce seems a nice fella, but he isn't a premiership class manager. If AA wants to cut his losses to a minimum then Steve Bruce has to go. That's AA's dilemma ... he wants to cut his losses but he's in a business he seems not to understand ... and that includes public property and people's representatives who don't like the bourgeoisie.

Because the minute we're up he can sell up at the start of summer as a PL club. It's then up to the investor to keep us up.

He's only interested in us going up so he can get rid, he doesn't care what happens beyond that.
