Guest firetotheworks Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Whether you think he's class or not, one thing is for sure he's a good signing for them lot. On a free n all, definitely. If Elliott wasn't the managers mate I wouldn't have been surprised if we'd been in there. http://i4.thejournal.co.uk/incoming/article4317772.ece/binary/rob-elliott-339962883.jpg [glow=red,2,300]FAT PIG[/glow] Divn't like Rob Elliot either, fucking prick.

Tooj Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I know he's class but is he really a player that's needed? I mean it's not like yous have needed a centre half for a few years or anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Actually I forgot that he can play deeper so what with the uncertainty around Xavi it makes sense. Does Sergi Roberto look like he can cut it? Also when is Samper getting a bump to the first team? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Sergi Roberto look like he can cut it? Also when is Samper getting a bump to the first team? Doesn't seem Sergi Roberto will make it - will see if Luís Enrique gives him more chances, he managed him at Barça B afterall. If Samper follows the usual plan he'll play one more season at Barça B, but he'll probably start getting chances in early cup rounds, etc... I'm very excited about him tbf.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 BREAKING: Sky sources indicate Joleon Lescott is close to agreeing terms with Hull City for a two-year deal #SSN Fucking Hull, man. How can Hull afford him but we couldn't even imagine singing someone like that? We'll be reet, we'll sell MYM for less than we bought him for, buy someone else even less known and cheaper, and plod on with Steven Taylor and Curtis Good. Exciting times. Anyhoo, back the the WC.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 It is hard to disagree about this club's uselessness, but I'm not convinced Lescott is a a good investment at all from a playing perspective, never mind the financial ramifications.

1878 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Lescott was excellent for us and initially had a good time of it at City too. His career went down the pan when Mancini dropped him (for Savic!) just after his partnership with Kompany had helped win the title. Since dropping out of the first XI at City he's struggled for form whenever he's got back in. I think he'll do ok with regular football at Hull but I'm doubtful he'll get back to his best and he'll be on big wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 So the replacement is Rakitic? It is a bit bizarre to see Xavi, Fabregas, and Thiago leave within the space of one year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 The club has completely botched the planned transition from Xavi-Iniesta to Thiago-Fábregas, but I believe we'll buy another CM and Rakitic is meant more as Cesc's replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I know they signed Rakitic but I'd be genuinely shocked if they don't sign someone else. On Xavi, best CM of my lifetime IMO the level of play for club and country between 2008 and 2013 was insane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 95% certain he'll go on to manage us at some point. Absolute legend, and I can only be grateful to have been able to see him in the flesh, in his prime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
