What, you mean like Shane Long? I agree we need someone down the middle, we could have bought Juan Mata for just a punch more than we paid for Jelavic & Long.
How does Shane Long come across as greedy on the scale of Morrison? I'm not going to fault a player for trying to do the best for themselves, but there are some that are just out for a pay check and don't care about playing.
I wouldn't just steer clear of Ravel Morrison, I'd do a rapid U-turn and keep driving until I saw a John O'Groats sign. He's big trouble, and leopards don't change their spots overnight.
Jimmy Bullard, notorious greedy bastard, total ****, waster, better player though, he demands £45k Shane Long, apparently not a greedy bastard, decent player, not as good as notorious greedy bastard Jimmy Bullard, he demands £50k a week. Yes, yes. I think it proves your point very well indeed.
I think we have to accept that footballers in this league get paid a hell of a lot. It's how they apply themselves after they sign their contract that matters, and there's absolutely nothing in Shane Long's career history that suggests any danger whatsoever of a Bullard-like meltdown.
A) Long isn't on 50k a week, B) Long has a young family to support C) Bullard failed his medical and we still signed him whereas Long is a young, fit 26 year old D) The two players are nothing alike E) You're being facetious.
No there is not and if the point is we'll get more from our £200k a month from Long than Bullard then obviously. But Long isn't that good a player really and certainly not worth anywhere near £50k a week. He rejected two contract offer from WBA because they weren't big enough, even though the West Brom chairman claims they were 'a significant increase on his current salary'. If that's not greedy bastard pig, I dread to think what is...
James McClean for a seven figure deal......don't think so......think we've spent up. http://www.sportsdirectnews.com/hul...38588-hull-hone-in-on-winger.php#.UtpWZ9LFKIU
A) what is he on then? B) so ****ing what! So do I and I manage just fine earning less a year than Shane Long does in a week! C) what does that have to do with anything? All official lines claim he passed his medical anyway. D) again, what does that have to do with anything? E) **** off Face it, Long is a greedy **** who we are paying twice his value even in this crazy money obsessed business.
City linked with out-of-form poppy-dodger James McLean. If we sign him, we may as well go the whole hog and play in green and become Hull Tobesuretobesures.
Think McLean got shown up to be the flash in the pan he was for his first few games. By all accounts, absolutely dire after his initial impact. I don't see where he'd fit in, or why we'd bother.
Hull City scouts were at Sheffield Uniteds game today to watch Harry Maguire. He scored today as well. With Chester injured, we might need a bit of cover there.
