he hasnt been sold has he? im only asking because across several different threads, people are suggesting there preferred team for next season, and many arent including him.. i dont understand why the team isnt being built around him, it should be built around "the one who cannot be named on these pages" but with that obviously not happening, koren is the next best bet..yet evans/harper, harper/mckenna, mckenna/evans seems to be the common choices, several more 0-0 draws ahead if thats the case surely
I hope he hasnt been sold!! Agree about "he who cannot be named". I do think there is a real lack of understanding about good players at Hull City. Thats why ***an was such a favourite for many. He is seen to be running around so must be dying for the cause etc etc. Usually he was just chasing his poor first touch. We dont appreciate good football as we have never been used to it, Ipswich are so voted him player of the year. Many on here think Roko drifts out of the game, half the time its cos the others dont pick up he is in space and dont have the ability to see him. NP plays his part in this by being too rigid in the way his team is set up. I will expect the Xavi and Iniesta do this etc etc so Roko should for this post.
Koren are times was to much out of games as it was obvious he didn't want to be on the wings, for me his best game came in the centre against Preston. I rate him highly but i think he was a bit in and out of games, but he can change a game, so at times i suppose you will have to take the risk with someone as talented as him.
in my book weve got 2 attacking central midfielders, most other managers in this league would give there right arm to have one of on there books..and when one played it was in front of the back 4..and the other pushed out on the wing...everybody is craving us to buy an attacking midfielder and we have 2 brilliant ones under our noses..frustrating really..
Personally to call Bullard great is not right, when was he great when we needed him in our relagation battle? And i do not remember seeing him creat something in the Championship. I agree he was not in his best position but he can still run with the ball and take me on, he wasn't interested. Koren on the other hand i agree with, he has talent and for me if he wasn't so anonymous then maybe we would care more about him.
7 goals and 8 assists from midfield and some people still aren't happy. Half my mates call him a luxury player , well if scoring and creating goals is a luxury we could do with a few more of them. If it wasn't 't for Rob we'd have been well and truly ****ed at the start of the season. The number of people on here who said they'd be happy if he went to Wolfsberg or whoever it was baffled me to say the least. If we had signed Danns and he had a return of 7 goals and 8 assists by the end of the season everyone would bang on about what a great signing he was, yet Rob gets a slagging off quite a few City supporters. As far as I'm concerned he should be in our starting eleven every week.
i always remember his through ball to barmby away at doncaster early season, inch perfect beautifully played..i thought weve got a player here, a few games later shoved back wide...such a waste.
He is at his best when playing CM or CAM, he doesn't have the pace to be a winger, on the other hand he has great vision and his distribution is second to none. If I remember correctly he was played out of position when he was at West Brom (on the wing) and they only got the best out of him when he was playing through the middle but at the time there was a ton of competition for CM at West Brom.
That ball was inch perfect..... i just think he grows frustrated out wide at times, but then NP doesn't seem him working hard enough to deserve that place in the middle.
Surely not... Voldemort! I think he likes to be more involved with creating attacking pieces of play so prefers to play in the middle where he is able to get the ball more. However when it comes to defending he's useless. He has talent but centre mids must be able to get back and tackle as well as do a decentish job going forward.
Some favourite. Have you ever heard anyone talk about ***an without using the words "Yeah, he's rubbish but..."?
