If he's going to play one particular system, he needs to make sure he has adequate replacemnts in case of injuries. We coped well last season, but at times, the squad looked rather thin in certain positons.
Love this part of the season when all the speculation starts about who we should get, who will will get, all the so called "in the knows". Great fun before............we are all let down with selling a couple of the good uns' and all the positive vibes turn to negative reality. who'd be a Hull City fan !
We looked both brilliant and terrible at times and that’s why so many are still shaken heads in disbelief. The run we went on at the right time blew every other club away. Whatever McCann did it worked a treat.
Funny as f’ck reading it here and elsewhere. This time last year the gallows were being built for McCann.
I'd suggest he knew what he needed last summer and pretty much did get it? The owners have backed him pretty well. And again this last January? I think we all felt he would have benefitted from another CF but he would have had to go some to do better than Magennis over the last 2-3 months.
I thought HA looked good on the ball, had a bit of poise, but he didn't seem to contribute very much. And if wiki is right he didn't get a game all season after he was recalled.
It’ll be interesting to see if we try and sign Whyte,given McCarthy doesn’t seem keen on him getting game time at Cardiff.Slater’s first team involvement recently wouldn’t have gone unnoticed by Sheffield United who may deem him a decent squad player next season in the Championship,although the managerial situation there may complicate things. I think a couple of experienced championship players with maybe one or two decent signings from League one that fit into the system and we’ll be ready to go. Obvs we need to ward off any interest in Wilks and KLP,unless we get ridiculous offers..
Think we should go in for Scott Fraser at MK Dons. We've been linked with him previously and he's scored 14 goals for them this season. Not bad for a midfielder at all. He's got one year left at MK Dons but he'll definitely be a 7 figure sum signing.
We held talks with him didn’t we? He chose MK Dons over us, I wonder if he regrets that decision now?
Cardiff paid £2m for Whyte and he's still under contract, I'm not sure he's got a future there, but I'm even less sure that we'd get anywhere near the fee they'd want.
Here's a list of all Championship free agents thanks to DDM. Year options also stated. https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/spo...ws/championship-free-agents-hull-city-5378969
I was really hopeful about Scott but he has seemed to lack physical strength for quite a big guy. I still wonder if he might come good but he's clearly nowhere near the first team at the moment so he might hanker after a return to Scotland. Think we might try to hang on for a while and work with him.
I'd have Slater back if they let us & put in a cheeky bid for Oliver Norwood 'not a chance on that front but who knows!
