Scored for Hull today. But, Do you think loaning him out to The Tigers has made him a better player? and do you think having Oli in our squad is more benificial than having Gerrard? :ayatollah:

In an ideal world I'd have both!

He seems to have done well there, I think we've missed him up until recently.

I would rather gerrard too hudson but hudson has done well lately

Hudson for me is picky of who he plays with he cant play with gyepes or gerrard :?

Hudson is a much better player and proved that this season.
Gerrard coming back over weight signalled his end under DJ and IMO righly so.

Gerrad was all posturing, mouthing off, badge kissing and bragging about his new car. Instead of knuckling own and working on his fitness over the summer he alledgedly went out on the piss with McCormack, so DJ had little choice really.

Agree with this.

Hopefully a season with Hull will have helped him grow up a bit. Seems to be working out for him and either he'll come back a better player or we'll get a decent fee for him.

Hopefully a straight swap is on the cards

On this point, DJ never liked him after their head to head and it was good bye Gerrard, I personally always liked him.

If that doesn't happen and we get promoted, we will see a real anomilly with the loan system.

A player (Gerrard) who has played most of his football for a team that finishes mid-table is rewarded by returning to a club which is promoted to the pinicle of English football while the other player (Oli) who was central to that promotion returns to play Championship football for Hull for another season.

It was the better deal for us as Olinfinjana is the type of central midfield player we have needed for years.Hope a swap deal will happen in the summer. :ayatollah:
