    Having another good game for Hull and has banged another goal in for them. I thought we had recalled him though?

    my sentiments exactly. QUALITY in terms of dead-balls, but not in terms of c. midfield play. he was like a hologram as everything went through or past him with far too much ease....albeit against the best midfield in the league....

    absence make the heart grow fonder......i guess..

    clutching at straws with Meyler, why not get Elmoshowaddywaddy back whilst we are on...

    best place for the trio (inc campbell) is hull..

    We need to sign a proven player in the midfield, I like Meyler but its just too soon. Maybe we can loan someone from abroad who can come in? like we did with Muntari. I know he did not work out but someone similar is what we need.

    Can't really comment on Fraizer as I haven't seen him since 2008, although he was obviously brilliant then. I can't believe Elmo isn't good enough as he looks every bit a Premier League player but maybe he looks better as a wing-back than in any other position. Did he largely play RB or on the wing for you lot? Meyler looked rusty at first but has improved game on game. Wouldn't surprise me if he had looked poor for you, think his fitness was low before he came here. I'd take all 3, I think if we secured them we'd go up.

    When Elmo thud was here, he couldn't even play with himself.....****ing aweful...no matter where he played.

    Meyler has all the talent, but is a ****ing crock, damn shame, sounds a helluva fella as well....my pick of the trio.

    Campbell, please take him, tell big Steve, i'll buy him a container full of greggs if he does.....

    By the way,, best of luck....

    I like Frazier. Just not getting the game time. Common knowledge that MON doesn't like to change his team unless out through injury. Even then when we expect someone to miss out he ends up playing when not looking fit. Catts, Fletcher. So not getting a look in.

    Elmo mas mostly R/W. good in the air, quick but tended to run to the corner flag and end product was poor. Pace is something we lack at the moment. Not one for me but might just pep things up for a few games. As with Frazier if he got a start.

    Myler has been injured a lot and would have been unfit when he got to you. A full season and the benefit will be there to see imho. I would have him in instead of Larsson. Gardener and Johnson can do what he does in his 3 touches without any problem.

    Well it's funny how people see things differently. Elmo has been a bit of a revelation for us. His crossing has been really superb, one of the finest crossers of a ball I've seen in a long time. If we had a striker who could get on the end of crosses (e.g. Fletcher), Elmo would probably be leading the assist charts in the Championship. Meyler is good in the air, can put a foot in and willing to break into the box. He's been far more attacking than I'd expected from what most of your fans said about him.

    As I say, Campbell's the most difficult to judge, I don't really think he's what we're after as he isn't much of an aerial threat. If he plays like he did when he was 19 though then he'd get 10+ goals for us from January onwards.

    Elmo is the top crosser in the league with more than 100, also got 6 assists I believe. Meyler playing excellently too, his celebrations are class.

    I've watched a few highlights of Hull and must say Myler has surprised me with his attacking ability, I always had him down as a defensive MD. I like the lad but think he is only cover in the prem but would love it if he proved me wrong.
