Watched Weir play in a recent U23 game against Chelsea(shown on Chelsea TV). Captained the side and played left back showing great energy in defense and in his forays forward. For the last 10 mins or so went to a main striker role and his pressure on a Chelsea defender resulted in an og. giving Man U a 1-1 draw. Looked a pretty useful player.
This is a quote from an article earlier in the thread: When he did leave Rosenberg, it was for a well-conceived move to AZ Alkmaar, where he immediately became a key player, beating the likes of Jozy Altidore (who scored 31 goals that season) and teenage sensation Adam Maher to be named AZ's 2013 Player of the Season. I was also making the point that Altidore barely scored one goal, let alone 31 in the Prem.
Yesterday, the Premier League confirmed the summer edition of Hull City's 25 man squad. With the transfer window closing at 11pm on Wednesday evening, clubs had to get the revised numbers in quickly and by a deadline of 4pm yesterday and here is the player list that Hull City submitted for the coming half a season. As ever, the details. A 25 man squad cannot contain more than 17 players who do not fulfil the home grown requirement of the Premier League, and once those 17 non home grown players have been named, the remainder of the squad must be a player who, irrespective of age or nationality, has been registered with a club affiliated to the Football Association or Football Association of Wales for a period of (continuous or not) of three seasons or 36 months prior to the their 21st birthday. No changes can be made to this 25 man squad now until the January window, but players classed as Under 21 for this season do not have to be made, but can come into contention for Premier League games if required. Full 25 man squad list - (*=Home grown): *Bruce, Alex Stephen *Clucas, Samuel Raymond *Davies, Curtis *Dawson, Michael Richard Diomande, Valentin Adama Eissa, Ahmed Elmehamady Abdelfattah Aly Henriksen, Markus Hernandez Platero, Abel Mathias *Huddlestone, Thomas Andrew Jakupovic, Eldin *Keane, William David Kuciak, Dusan Lenihan, Brian Patrick *Livermore, Jake Cyril Luer, Greg *Maguire, Harry Maloney, Shaun Richard Marshall, David *Mason, Ryan Glen Mbokani Bezua, Dieudonne McGregor, Allan James Meyler, David *Odubajo, Moses Adeshina Ayoola Junior Robertson, Andrew Snodgrass, Robert Under-21 players (Contract and Scholars): Akbas, Stephen Adam Andrew, Charlie Alfred Annan, William John Barkworth, Ellis Batty, Daniel Thomas Bowen, Jarrod Chadwick, William Anthony Clackstone, Joshua Philip Clark, Max Oliver Curry, Adam Dunkerley, Charlie Duxbury, Bradley Sinclair Edwards, Jonathan Dvonte Fleming, Brandon James Hamilton, Tyler Lee Hinchliffe, Benjamin Jack Hinchliffe, Matthew James Holmes, Elliot Charles Kelledy, Marc Thomas Michael Lofts, Luke Mannion, William John Maslen-Jones, Bradley McKenzie, Robbie Olley, Greg Thomas Prudhoe, Kevin Bailey Ritson, Lewis Barry Ryan Rodgers, Harvey James Salam, Ahmed Mamdoh Abdel Saltmer, Jonathan David Sheaf, Max Ter Horst, Johan Thacker, Joshua Tymon, Joshua Lewis Watson, Rory Weir, James Michael Wilson-Rhiney, Mason Alexander http://www.hull.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=459453
Erm, it's not me making the snide comments; I'm simply trying to understand why you thrive on them and constantly use them to attack me and others. They are there for anyone to read, you are consistent, petty and boorish. You have very little knowledge of my life and work experience, but you continue to make derisory comments on the back of guesswork. What I will tell you is that you are wrong in your assumptions and that is all I will tell you, just as I don't require you to qualify yourself on here, either. You have an opinion on the badge and I accepted your right to that opinion; I have my opinion on the badge and you will not accept my right to that opinion. It really is that simple. What you do is work very hard to insult and patronise, rather that discussing and expanding ideas or reasoning. Maybe that might work for you in your non-internet life, but I doubt many would respect you for it; I certainly don't on here. Show me where I have been overbearing in my opinion? I have strong opinions and I am not afraid to build them through reasoning and questioning, but not by ridicule; as you do. You used one of my 'likes' to try and enforce your criticism of another poster's opinion that you were caustic about; do you not realise how pathetic that is. Chazz likes your post, but that's fine, it's in keeping with his normal style of late. Go to PM? No, I'm simply responding to your insults, so folk can understand what drives you. Abuse victims do, sometimes, inflict the same abuse on others; I think you are an educated person who uses this forum (probably others) to inflict abuse on others, so, yes, it is an appropriate place to bring it up. Discuss something without the abuse and I will listen and contribute, just as we all do.
There's a bloke who plays Aussie Rules over here who's name is Cyril Rioli. One commentator in particular enjoys calling him delicious so it's a bit of a running joke, so I can't help but laugh whenever I say the name Cyril.
On a separate note, your insults had seemed to focus on personality and age; ageism being a common element of your abuse. On such a mixed board I wonder how you think that is received by the wider audience? But this, for you, is a new low and it would be interesting to know why you descend to this level; a level that could get you dismissed in the real world. I think it let's us all into your world, thanks.
I have nothing against older folk, I just don't like you, I have no time for you and I know it really pisses you off! Your abuse? Blinded and and totally ignorant to your own abuse and pettiness.
I think it's a decent squad, that with a bit of luck could develop into a really good squad. We certainly have more attacking and creative options, we just have to hope they blossom - but that's football and the fun of it!
Agreed, also I am sure you will see the effect of the Allams leaving will be a big boost to the atmosphere, which will percolate throughout the club including the team.
