I’m not expecting perfection, Rosenior banged the drum of wanting robustness all summer. Why was Vinagre his first choice left back then? Left back was arguably our highest priority in summer given we didn’t have one. Goal keeper we went budget and have paid the price on a number of occasions, left it until the last day to sign another much needed winger without a back up option.

You might not be expecting perfection, but you are asking for every transfer to work out as originally intended. And there isn't a club on the planet who can achieve that, so why you expect it from Hull City is a puzzle.

I don’t expect every transfer to work, I’ve simply stated we neglected key areas. Left back, holding midfield, wingers. That’s too much imo.

There’s a reason we are being linked with GKs and it’s because his distribution is no longer enough. Left back absolutely was a priority given we didn’t have one at the club after Elder was released. We also look better with Greaves CB

I have to admit I've no idea how Elder has done at Derby, but I was always a fan of his and would have been very happy with him as LB this season. Not many wingers got past him on a regular basis.

We were clearly expecting Bird as the deep midfielder coming in summer. He got injured which scuppered it. So did doc, who'd most likely have been the one going out to make room.

Exactly, plus we had bids accepted for Drameh & Davis and Rak-Sakyi was done too (as long as Palace got in a replacement). And that's just the ones we know about. They gave it a right shot

Signing Philogene, Delap, Morton, Twine, Connolly, Lokilo, Vinagre and Allsop has been a **** up?

Vinagre's been a sick note, Lokilo's a bit meh, but the others are the reason we're still in touch with the play-offs.

To be fair there were a lot of key areas to cover in the summer window. We were never going to have a complete championship top 6 chasing squad with appropriate depth just a January and a summer away from being 21st.

Can’t speak on Vinagre but I do know they had to go down the list of Goalkeepers for one reason or another. Allsop wasn’t close to being first choice

He's their reserve left back and if he hadn't gone, we'd all be discussing what a mistake it was not letting him go.

255 minutes over 10 league1 appearances. 1 assist. Spent a big chunk of the season out injured but he isn't a regular starter for them in the league.
