I don't think he'll get in the Aus side full stop. We've moved on to the 'next gen' so he's sort of missed his chance which is a big shame. Doc definitely seems to be on his way out.
Doc is unfortunately a victim of the takeover. He's a reliable player, but he just doesn't fit the way we play and seeing him this season he just doesn't strike me as his usual consistent self. I'd like to see him given a run between now and the end of the season, but I think he'll be out in the Summer. I'd keep him as cover and see where we are at Christmas, but honestly I think if a good offer comes in we should take it. I'm more leaning towards the fact that it would be unfair to keep a player who would get into a Championship team like Reading/Blackpool/Cardiff/Wigan/Rotherham/League 1 promoted team, or pretty much any SPL team outside of Rangers and Celtic every week from going somewhere and being first choice out of sentiment. If Acun is targeting players like Seri, Tufan, Traore etc, it stands to reason that the players coming in will be of their calibre and Doc for me just isn't in that category.
Would be tempted to hold off on Connolly, not featured much and had a couple of decent games. Hardly pulled up trees at boro either, if we lost Oscar I’d like a proper marquee striker to come in.
I think you've more of less summed up where we are at with Greg Docherty.. It's pretty telling that he's on the bench barring injuries now and I don't see that changing to be honest.You can tell by his body language these days that he sort of realises that and I think it would be in his best interests to move on? There'll be other Clubs that would welcome a player of his type,he gives his all,he's superfit and he doesn't come across as the type of player who fancies a bit part role at our Club.I think he's still got a bit of improvement in him and maybe a different Club,different role,different coach might be able to squeeze that extra drop out of him. I'm pretty sure there'd be interest in him from other Championship Clubs but if that didn't materialise he'd suit several teams up here,a Hearts,Hibs or Aberdeen midfield role would fit him perfectly. It would be a shame to see him go,he loves our Club but his days seem numbered.
I know it doesn’t mean anything technically but Rosie did say he wants to keep Doc next season at the “Evening with Rosenior”
If there’s one player I’d take from Fenerbahçe right now to put into our first 11, it would be Yüksek.
Wouldn’t mind Ross McCrorie from Aberdeen. Can play centre-half and defensive midfield. He’s strong, tall and would be the ideal partner for Seri in the deep midfield role.
We need the size somewhere in the side. We could make up for it with Reynolds and a new left back tbf. Just crying out for dynamism in the side.
Just watching a bit of Aberdeen v Rangers... I'm glad LR has said he's never hear of this guy DUK (transfer rumour) he's ****e... runs like Woods too... he'll sc ore a hat trick now..!! Awful standard of football...
So ... now we've played with our wish lists, who realistically will we keep and who's gonna be going. I'd like to be able to hang onto Darlow, Pelkas hasn't done enough for me, not seen enough of Sinik although he did look like a rabbit in the headlights, Ebiowei.. well I'll drive back to Palarse me self. Not sure Oscar will be here next season either. Connolly for.me is worth a shout, but can see 2 full backs coming in, potentially an experienced cb, a.defensive midfielder, and up to 4 forwards (including wingers).
Doesn’t their owner just turn the debt into equity everytime they look like they’re getting close to being broke
Hull City have yet to make decisions on the futures of loan duo Dimitrios Pelkas and Malcolm Ebiowei. Fenerbahce midfielder Pelkas and Crystal Palace wide man Ebiowei are set to return to their parent clubs following the conclusion of the 2022/23 season. The pair featured as second half substitutes in the Tigers' 1-0 home win over Watford last weekend. Greek international Pelkas has played 25 times in the Championship, hitting two goals, while Ebiowei has only shown flashes of his potential since arriving in the January transfer window. City have just two matches left of their season to go but head coach Liam Rosenior insists he still has decisions to make on his loan contingent. When asked about the prospect of bringing Pelkas back to the MKM Stadium next season, Rosenior said: "I haven't (made a decision). They are decisions we'll make closer to the end of the season. "We have got a lot of planning to do. We are going through our plans at the moment with Tan (Kesler, vice chairman) and Lee (Darnbrough, head of recruitment) in terms of our recruitment and the decisions that we will make and we will take it from there."
Liam was quite clear on Darlow when asked, he want to keep him. Not so with these 2, I suspect from that remark about Ebiowei and Pelkas that they won't be coming back.
