Is this Team good enough to qualify for the Europa League?? I don't think we are a million miles off having a Team that COULD qualify for the Europa League, Id think our best chance is by winning the FA Cup or a losing finalist, that could qualify just another couple of quality players maybe at the back and I think we could achieve something special exciting times to be a Hull City supporter, we are moving in the right direction, and building a quality, well respected Team on and off the field, Bigger and better players will have confidence in moving to us , knowing we are making great strides UTT..!!
we cant put any focus on the FA cup this season as we are still needing to focus on the premier league , but our squad depth is looking good now
its deffo feels good to have a Team that other Teams fear, and a striker force that will give defenders nightmares when was the last time we had a pair of strikers that fans of others teams got worried who we had?? not for a very long time good things are coming if not this season , id hope for next season , before we know it we could need the extend the KC to get all our fans in , maybe another 7 or 8000 seats needed
We don't even know if the strikers will gel yet... Sometimes these things just don't quite work out for reasons unknown so it might be wise to keep a little grounded.
Not this year, but if we can strengthen in a couple of positions such as LB, sign Livermore, and if Jelavic and Long plus Sagbo start banging in the goals, we could qualify through the FA Cup in two years time. Its obviously a very long shot and we have to stay up first, but with Bruce managing and an in-depth squad its certainly not beyond the realm of possibility. Very exciting times and a good groundwork is being laid.
Not yet but we now have the strength in depth to secure a mid table PL position which will do very nicely
I was thinking today, if Jelavic , goes to the World Cup , and has a really good tournament, he could come back worth a lot more than 7.5m
The new signings are cup-tied aren't they? If Prostwich goes, Graham goes back to Sunderland and McLean going to Bradford and inevitable injuries I am not sure if we will have enough players in our senior squad eligible to play in the cups! Not bothered though as we are building a solid team that will drive forwards in the next year, I am sure.
A pair of quality full backs, a handy right winger, maybe a centre half depending on how Chezzy adapts, and depending how Bruce has us set up (it will be interesting to find out over the coming weeks with the arrivals of Long and Jelavic) possibly a quality 'number 10' type and this squad can go far. Not this season but maybe over the next few if we sustain solid premier league status and go from step to step with team strengthening.
Let's not get too carried away - we did that in 2008 and look what happened. Whilst I am fairly certain we're heading for our best ever league finish, I'll still take 17th - we are, after all only 5 points above the relegation zone. One step at a time, but it is looking very promising.
