Connolly managed 5 games in half a season last year. Hope he prospers but logic suggests he's an injury waiting to happen.

Delap's been great but he's a kid and we have a 46 game season.

Then we're back into the false 9 territory.

Preparing to fail.

Pleased for Oscar that he's gone...Good luck to him....He never quite achieved the potential he showed early doors. Having no striker doesn't worry me...Who remembers the great Dutch team in the 70's? Its called total football.

Rosenior on Morton
For us to capture a player of Tyler’s pedigree and potential, again fighting off a lot of competition, I’m absolutely over the moon.

He played at a high level last season in a team in Blackburn that just missed out on the play-offs. He’s played in the Champions League, Premier League and in cup games for a top club in Liverpool.

The fact Liverpool and Tyler believe Hull City is the best place for him to continue his development says a lot about the direction we’re moving in as a football club.

Tyler has everything I like in a midfield player. He’s brave and has got unbelievable technical quality, which is important for the way we play. He can see a pass, has a great football brain, understands the game with his defensive positioning and is aggressive.

He was our first choice and we’ve had to wait a long time to get it done but I’m delighted it’s finally happened.

I'm sorry and I'll take the flack....but that whole quote from LR just stinks of "I'm hearing the fans saying xyz, so I'll say all those things to prove them wrong"

Liverpool have let him come here as we made the best offer financially. He's really trying to hard now to justify what he's doing. All the rubbish about having a reputation about developing young players, can anyone say who they have been because so far....

Vale - failure
Simmons - failure
Malcolm - failure

Vaughan? Covil? Delap's started well. I also wouldn't call Simons a failure..

Like I said Tufan could play number 9 if desperate he’s actually quite good with his back to goal. Allyar best position is there I'm convinced of it.

Bit worried about Harry Vaughan. He needs game time.

But we have been playing him.. who's coming on instead of him now? We're also only 4 games into the season ffs.

I answered this previously, Connolly will come on or Delap if Connolly is starting. Throw Allahyar, Twine, Tufan into the mix too if needed. I think our attacking options will be very flexible and interchanging -

Delap
Connolly
Twine
Philogene
Allahyar
Lokilo
Tufan
Traore
Vaughn
Sinik

So tomorrow against Leicester if Tufan is out injured, who's starting up top, Delap and Traore? And then we have Connolly off the bench (as he has been doing) and who is coming on instead of Oscar? Who offers exactly what Oscar was able to offer off the bench since he supposedly has no skills that others don't have?

It's even more mental given that we've been playing with 2 up top all pre-season and all the games so far... who do you sub on for Delap? Yeah in some circumstances teams have managed without strikers, but it's obvious we set up to play with a target man and someone in behind. If we'd continued from last season playing a false 9 I wouldn't be as arsed, but we haven't continued that trend and if we're abandoning 2 up top, why've we wasted all this time playing that way?
 
Furlong seems a decent addition as Fleming clearly isn’t making the cut. Know **** all about him but really don’t like Greaves at full back as a serious option other than as an emergency.

This Morton sounds a decent larker but would have been nice to give Simons a run and see how he did.

Philogene is exciting.

Since the window’s officially over now and we’ve done all our business, do I have permission to say I still think it’s disappointing?

I’d say Twine probably takes Tufan’s spot if he’s out, will be good to see him in that role I think he’s wasted on the wing

I wasn't counting players who where ours already, sorry should have made that clear, failure may be strong for Simon's, but success is also to strong

Who said success?

All he said is we are building a reputation for developing young players, I don't think he specified on loan. But let's say you're right, then why are Delap and Morton getting sent here? Maybe we are offering the most money, but at the end of the day these clubs want to see their players develop into saleable assets.

What could you possibly be basing this off other than hope and the fact he's bagged a lucky goal against Sheff Weds and an (admittedly) good brace against Blackburn? The guy has scored something like 11 goals in his career and 5 of those have been with us!

Basing it off watching him play? He’s unreal

And who comes off the bench in place of Oscar? Who is our replacement big strong poacher? Since we have other players who can offer what Oscar was offering?

And how much of that did you do last season while he was on the treatment table? He's never scored more than 5 goals for a club! He will no doubt top that figure here, but to confidently say he'll suddenly become a 1 in 2 striker is bordering on absurd.
