If Elmo goes hopefully we will get a decent fee for him. Snodders will hopefully be fit enough to step into the gap.Curtis clearly hasn't been happy for some time, but I can't see us letting him go without having a replacement lined up - we are short of centre halves as it is with injuries to Daws and Jr.

Curtis on his contract situation...

“My contract is up in the summer and, right now, I am playing for my future. We are in talks over a new deal but, if the effort is not here to keep me, then I shall have to move on.

“I’ll be 31 at the end of the season, and I need to be playing games. I would be happy to sign on again here because I’ve been at Hull for three years and really enjoyed it.

“But I have to get the terms and assurances I am looking for. And, if it was that easy, it would be done already.”

“At the moment, I am just concentrating on playing football and the rest will look after itself.

“At my age this is probably going to be my last decent deal, so it’s an opportunity to make a stamp on the financial situation.

“Sure, you want to earn the money, but I need to play as well so I’ve got to be certain it’s the right deal for me and make the best decision I can.”

I guess it's thank you and goodbye then, Curtis.

I've always championed Elmo, but he's slowly stopped trying to beat his man, not sure if his paced has dropped off or he is just being a tad lazy, if we got a decent fee for him I'd not be too fussed. I'd much prefer to see Dave there and a decent left back in place (like Rosey), not that Dave hasn't been but I feel he's wasted back there, every time I saw him for Brentford and he played in Elmo's position he was class.

Presumably you mean right back?

Assuming Elmo goes, Dave will stay where he is, Snodgrass will play in place of Elmo.

What a stupid, arrogant post, why is change hard for me to accept? I would point out that the very nature of my point of view (whether you agree or not) is advocating a change in general thinking. Try reading more modern views on the role, especially foreign overviews where it is used not only more frequently, but also in a hybrid format. Your argument is normally based on what you say is out there, but you very rarely support it with anything other than the repeated tosh of Wiki. Try delving a bit further, think about how the two roles produce different results and just try focussing it on tactics, instead of making it personal. Or is it the personal stuff you come on a football forum for?

Under Steve Bruce, wing backs are definitely defensive roles, though under Brucey, so are central midfield...

Aye, OLM, I've detected your humour :emoticon-0103-cool:, although I think he would be far more positive in his selections if he thought of fullbacks as defenders (who will push up) and wing-backs as attacking wide midfielders who can defend, just as the defensive CM does and to a lesser extent attacking CM and (even less) forwards. But that would need a positive mindset, in this big tricky league we're in ... <laugh>
