Have we played Middlesbrough twice ? If not he won’t be able to play against us but is that a positive or a negative lol
 
Giles going out but only on loan with no obligation to buy is the most City thing ever.

There’s not many players I’ve deeply disliked on every level but he’s up there with the likes of Bullard. A badge-kissing weasel, as Magennis would say.
I think it works because an option right now on present performance would be less than we paid. If he has an upturn in form they can negotiate from there
 
Presumably because they wouldn’t agree to an option that we’d accept.
You’d think an option would be the minimum boro would want in the deal.
Currently he’s **** so his value must be at a low, if he goes to Boro were he wants to be and rips it up in theory we’d want more for him in the summer than now……or have I got that wrong

Nothing quite like writing players off before they’ve kicked a ball? Abdus played in the right position is a different player to the one constantly played out of position.

There is no such thing as the right or wrong position. Good players will play well in any position.
 
Abdülkadir Ömür wants to leave Hull City. The player's name has started to be discussed within the Beşiktaş club. (Universe Manchester)

He was second choice for Young Boys in the swiss league Pandur was first choice in the Dutch league. I know which I'd trust more as our No1, and no, there's nothing to suggest he's 'too good' to play second fiddle in the championship.

Just because he played a few times in the champs league (when they had no chance of progressing in it) doesn't mean he was expected to come in as no 1. He was an 800k signing, where we've had a look at him and said no thanks.

If I were to question anything about the Racioppi situation is who decided he's better than TLT when he signed in the first place.

Should we go and sign TNS 'keeper because he's played in the Europa league? Must be better than Pandur right?

Sorry, but no.
I'm not saying he should be no1.....I'm saying that a club in our financial position wouldn't typically spend nearly 1 mil on a keeper, make him (reportedly) top 3 or 4 highest player if he's not intended to be our number 1 or at the v least challenging for the number 1 spot, ultimately the GK recruitment in the summer was just mental.

I remember when I was growing up Brazilian footballers had exotic names like Romario, Ronaldo and Cafu.

Now they're called Fred, Jo and Lincoln. We're not long off seeing Brazilian footballers called Steve and Dave.

Dont forget

Kevin

He plays in the champs league for shakhtar
