I have come to the conclusion that we won't be spending any money for along time, however i'm interested to hear who people would like us to sign this window. Bowen for me the lad scores all kinds of goals. we could do with another attacking winger too , but other than that i don't feel we need anything? maybe a dm to cover for hayden?
Bowen and a proper striker. I'm not willing to write Joelinton off yet but if he was used out wide in Germany then why are we playing him up top? A dedicated DM would be nice too
Bowen seems obvious given Bruce is Hulls best ever manager and we have been actually linked to him. He's a good player. We need a solid CDM in my opinion to help our midfield retain some possession and boss the game a bit more. We have a good team actually.
We need a striker in my opinion...that has to be priority. When you look at the options we have there it's pretty bad really. Unless Bruce starts to play JoeLinton where he should be being played, or puts someone alongside him he's never gonna score. Carroll is great at what he does but he isn't realistically gonna be a starter week in week out, even if he was he's not for the long term. Dwight Gayle hasn't even been given a sniff so can't really comment on him, same goes for Muto although Muto is **** anyways. If you watch the MOTD analysis from the Everton game at the weekend they picked on Calvert-Lewin....that's exactly the kind of striker we need to look for in my book. Not him per-say but just the performance he put in on Sat which was highlighted is exactly what we need. Pressing, hassling defenders, bullying them and letting them know you're about and you're in a game....and he chipped in with two goals. Defensively we are more than fine right across the back. MF again we are fine if I was to prioritise one area. If SB has some money to spend I'd be looking for a striker without question.
Agreed. With the Longstaffs our midfield will only get better. The key area for me is a striker. We need someone who is gonna put the ball in the back of the net.
Okay, okay I can take a hint. No matter how unsubtle it is. So, are people expecting me to play as lone striker or as a number 10 or one of two up front?
Chippy’s lost weight he’s not fa...well he’s slightly overwei...just because he’s overweight doesn’t mean he’s fa...well he suits being fat.
You're all mental. We desperately, desperately need players who can regularly set up attempts at goal before we bemoan those who aren't scoring when they're getting one or two chances per game. Almiron, Manquillo/Yedlin need to be improved on. Almiron is fine when you need hard work and defending, but he's useless going forward. Manky and Yedlin are both pretty pish at attacking too. They can get forward, but don't know what to do with it. Tactics don't help, mind, and the sooner we get three in the middle the better. We do need more depth in CM. Shelvey won't keep this up, and Hayden's no goal threat at all. Ki is poor. GK, fine. CB's, fine. LWB is fine. RWB is a first team problem. CM is a 'depth' problem. RW is a big first team problem. LW is less of a problem. CF is less of a problem. Priority is the right side, then CM. We won't spend, so I'd look to get Ritchie in as RWB, rather than LWB, and sell the utterly useless Krafth (wtf are our scouts doing??). Then I'd look to either go with 3 in the middle, and play Joelinton with Carroll, or slot Joelinton into RW and put Almiron on the left. I suspect that will work better, so would keep Max out on the right instead. Get rid of Ki, get rid of Muto, ship out Colback/Saivet and any other useless clam we've bought. Bad news is we'll probably need to cash in on Schar, so wouldn't be surprised to see him disappear. He's had a few nothing injuries, when last season he was always available, seems pretty suspect and he's got to be worth a few quid.
tbh I think manquillo has been outstanding for a while now I think he owns that spot personally. ive not seen him have a bad game for year. unsung hero in my eyes
