Hull Survival Chances

Can see them staying up if they keep up their activity in the transfer market. Not spending big but looking at deals to try and strengthen some areas. Seem like they are in for Curtis Davies and trying to bring in Charlie Austin.

Btw this is not a dig at out transfer activity, behind Malky 100%

No they just have a brain. The Norwich approach works. Thats why Norwich are still in the PL. Team > Individuals. Its all about collectively the team frustrating other teams and then exploiting them to take points off them. We have good hard workers in the team now and a few more of this type of player and it'll be good.

I do not care for the likes of Gomis. If he thinks he'll join just for money and is not willing to chase down then its instant pressure coming back on the midfield and defence on a routine basis. We need a striker who will chase lost causes like Long does for WBA and keep the pressure on. We need a whole team effort of players willing to fight for survival.

Give me a solid team of no names like Norwich over a bunch of lazy individual names like QPR any day of the week.

Williams, Allen, Britton, etc. all made the step up. These are all players who played lower league football for years and years. There's others are well. Hudson was fine in the games vs Liverpool and upped his game to meet the task. I think he thrived off the challenge and thats the type of player we need who are willing to do that.

Thats why Swansea are doing so well because every time they face a bigger hurdle they smash it into oblivion like it was nothing. That they should be credited for. You wont get promoted...they get promoted. You'll come back down...they survived. You wont beat Chelsea to get to the final....they beat Chelsea. You wont win it anyway...they won the league cup. You'll fail in Europe..... I suppose sooner or later you'll have to be right but its stupid all this writing off of teams, players etc.

Snodgrass for Norwich was hardly an eye opening signing but he does the dirty work, puts in a shift and its players like him who have kept Norwich where they are. Southampton the same with their team. Great players like Lambert and Lallana made the step up and others did too. Thats why after a season or 2 they can go in the transfer market and spend big because they didn't break the bank first season. Common sense is needed.

It takes a special individual indeed to win you games from pure individual brilliance and we are no where near the level of signing such a player, neither are the other 2 promoted teams. Just common sense is needed.

Yep, that's what I think they are doing.

I would rather then sign davies and Austin than us to be honest, I'd like malky to be aiming at better players from abroad

That would be the dream, it worked for Swansea, to think Michu was so cheap and then performs the way he did. Never know!

I think Hull are buying sensibly. They know they can't compete with the big boys on or off the pitch and this first year up there is all about survival. Get in the players who are going to strengthen your team without breaking the bank or your wage structure.

The first year up there you find out whether you have a good enough squad or not. If you do survive then the second year you have the extra funds to start buying better players and have a little more pulling power to attract those players.

Neither us nor the teams who went up can compete in the transfer market with the established premiership teams. If there are championship players who are better than we already have then I see nothing wrong with buying them if they are at the right price.

getting sick of this now barnett.that,s another post iv got to give you 10/10

Hull Survival Chances................Better than ours rite now after there signings already imo and curtis davies is due to sign for them as the fee has been agreed 2.25 million

Get off the drugs. They could sign all the players mentioned and they are still not better than us with no signings.

Southampton spent over 30m last year so cannot be compared to Norwich or Swansea module
