Not all options have to be identical to the players they are replacing. . Like when you replace Fatawu with Albrighton. Both wingers but one of them is great at running at the defense and the other will get in a peach of a cross.... You're right in Saying Winks is not really an advanced no.8 but neither was Ndidi before Maresca got hold of him!

What a fantastic thing! People can say till the cows come home that ' you are not alone' or ' i know how you feel' but i bet its worth its weight in gold to actually hear those words from someone who literally struggles like you do and you know they do because you've heard it from their own mouth...

Probably the new guy we are about to sign who plays in that exact position? Besides, whether you think he is ' too small' or not, Yunus IS an option. So is playing Hamza deep and bringing winks a bit more forward. But yeah, most likely Sensi who has played for the Italian National team...

Sounds exotic!

He's also been mediocre in some games. Yes Enzo massively pushed for him, but its Maresca that picks the team not us so if he felt he could manage a long run of games he would have picked him in a long run of games Our primary objective is promotion and Enzo has to pick a team he feels is capable of doing that. We cant afford to pick a loan player who isn't firing on all cylinders, especially as we do have other options..

If he is going back at the end of the season, it serves us no benefit to be patient. When you get a loan player in, it isn't with the objective of developing the talent ( although this can be a nice byproduct of a loan) The main objective is for them to contribute NOW. Ben Nelson, for example, is our player. We should be patient with him, help him develop, give him the game time to develop. Casadei needs to be contributing right now if he's to be in our team. A loan player that is not contributing to the desired level can not be in the starting 11.

I remember reading about the health struggles Frank Bruno had. He felt so lost at one stage he would sleep in a boxing ring. It’s the only place he felt safe.

he’d probably play every game at Hull whilst here he would be rotated and maybe given a few games to settle in.. liverpool wanted GUARENTEED game time, and we don’t offer that to anyone..

fair play to them. That’s a great signing for them. For anyone in this division really…

Please don’t misunderstand me, I’m not saying Ward was anything other than a total flop for us… but still… I can only assume some of you either didn’t live through the Pleat years, or have forgotten about how truly awful it was. Ward isn’t anywhere near the worst player to play for us…

you’re more upset about him earning half of what Bertrand was earning?

Hopefully you guys will accept some tunes from the 80s

He's played a few times for Italy so i would say we are not compromising on the quality we need but we are indeed looking for cheaper deals... especially if he really is just with us until the end of the season as some people think...

Well, the people quoted that are inter fans might be a small minority too anyway my point is it could be very good for us even if those minorities say he’s not a good player..

I like it!!

I don't mean to be a boblet but its quite possible that he would be taking Casadei' s spot in the team...

They both wear football boots...

What? How?

I'd love it if he Knew Karate...

Yes 18 months with options to extend if he plays a blinder. would be great. I'd hate for him to play really well and he gets 'stolen' when we were the team to resurrect his career..

Im not sure if we have much of a Scouting Network in Italy so im assuming this has come from Maresca's contacts?

There were people on here saying how crap Maddison and Tielemans were when they left here...

We definitely have the prem in mind if we pull this off...

Romano knows the difference. If he is reporting it, then there is some substance to it, whether he signs on not can be a different matter...

Bah humbug the both of you, you miserable old men
