We have about the most expensive squad in the Championship, the budget has only been limited on signing strikers!!
I think he's a great player but why did we spend 3.5m on Odubajo instead of retaining Rosenior, and putting the funds towards Gray or another striker?
Meanwhile back on topic... Nigel Pearson is to be appointed Villa manager this week according to the Mail. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...s-make-changes-ahead-expected-relegation.html
Whether you like him or not the guy knows how to assemble a bloody good squad. I think hes an arrogant twat but id have him back here
If Pearson does indeed goes to Villa it will be interesting to see how he gets on without Walsh and Shakespeare in his back room staff given they've been offered 'big money' contract extensions to stay with Leicester along with Ranieri
For me having supported City for a while, if you as a fan want to support a team that wins week in and week out most of the time, then you should not be supporting City! Bloody hell most of the time we are bouncing along outside the Premier League, and most of that in recent years in the lower leagues, not even the Championship. My only beef at present is Bruceys dire football, its just bloody boring to watch the vast majority of the time; he makes Peter Taylors football look like Barca by comparison! Whether at present we should be doing better than we are with the current squad is debatable; I've said before I would have snapped your hand off if offered a play off place after relegation, that's exactly where we are. If Allam wants to re-name the club, 'Hull City Frustration' seems appropriate!
No one is expecting to win every week, and it's getting dangerously close to calling people glory supporters for suggesting such. All I can see on here is people who want the club to be performing as well as it can, and at the moment it clearly isn't. Ask Leicester fans if they think they're unreasonable aiming for the title at the moment? It's not. They're aiming for realistic expectations. Our realistic expectation is to challenge properly for automatic promotion, something the club in the last month has not been doing.
I stand to be corrected, but my recollection is that Rosy was released due to relegation according to Brucey. That said it doesn't make sense to then replace him with a £3.5m buy unless of course Odubajo is on much less salary wise by comparison. Rosy at face value was more injury prone, reflected by his time out this season at Brighton, plus Odubajo represents an investment whereas Rosy's value was zero. For me Rosy never let us down, very steady, and certainly a better defender than Odubajo but had nowhere near the pace that Odubajo has
Along with Brady represents probably the most money we've made on an outgoing transfer; good business.
An out of contract Rosy would have happily taken a pay cut to stay with the club I'm pretty sure. He was gutted he couldn't stay.
