Strikers at the start of the season

Going into the season with Maynard, Campbell, Mason, Cornelius(lol) Gestede and Odemwingie as our striking options will send us down unfortunately. We may have won the Championship but we got promoted with a 35 year old scoring NINE goals and then he retired. Not ideal Premier League prep. People can say why didn't we get a striker in January but I'd like someone to name me a Premier League side who have signed a striker in Janaury and kept them up! QPR went down even after spending 14m on Remy. We are going down because we didn't address our problems and built our team around an average PL striker(Campbell) who needs six chances to convert one goal!

Malky was just to inexperienced and didn't know what players to buy to survive in the prem. So he just went and bought 3 expensive players and that was it, one of whom did not do faaacalll. Total balls up by mackay

IMO the club was (is) too inexperianced.

We bought players to have a resale value. We never bought experianced PL players that may be too expensive if we got relegated the following season. Cornulius was a massive mess up, but with Medel and Caulker we will probably recoup Tans investment. Other than that we went uber safe. Brayford and KTC were for championship fees.

We had no conviction from the start.....

Kenny Millar took a lot of flack that first season, but his football intilligence hid a lot of problems. We have never been settled up front since Jay and Chops

Kenny Miller's signing should have been a clue about Malky's ability to buy strikers. 850k, 25k a week. Horrendous.

Nothing wrong with Kenny Miller, try playing on your own up front for 40+ games.

I agree with the OP.

Didn't John Hartson do it for West Ham some years ago? Hull have just signed Long and Jelavic, who look quite safe at the moment.

If we stay up im pretty sure Mame Diuf will come in on free transfer. Thats two strikers in for nothing

I liked Kenny miller! Had a decent start to the 2011(?) season, just lost his pace and confidence after November. Gave 100% and I wished he had stayed!

Completely agree with OP!

Exactly. I really liked Kenny, his partnership with Mason was magnificent. If is wages weren't so high and we'd kept him last season we'd have won the league by April. Especially with Campbell coming in as well

Jelavic and Long at Hull.

OGS had the opportunity to sign either/or but we never went for either. There are others that we could have gone for. Jelavic and Long will ensure Hull' s survival this season.

Would Jelavic and Long signed for us in our position? Nope. Hull were pulling away and were in an okay position at the time. They also didn't spunk away a shit load of money in the summer

Long has been going to Hull since the move failed in the summer so we never stood a chance.

Kenny was Shit. Missed numerous one on ones that season should have scored in cup final and then to cap it all missed his f*cking penalty aswell only eer good in the SPL playing for Rangers or Celtic.

I agree Mr Bruce makes malky look clueless
