Yeah, like that was the crux of it.
i never quote people and tell them they're off their rocker. that's your game.

Well, special allowance made for special case I guess.
classy.
It looks increasingly likely that we might need to break the Harry Redknapp 'in case of emergency' glass!Hull have agreed a deal for Dundee Utd left back Andrew Robertson. Top prospect and if I were a betting man I'd say it'll end Hull's interest in Rose

Hope he stays and fights for his place.
I don't think having no competition for his place helped. He was arguably our best player 2nd half. Saying that, I'm not convinced LB is his best position. His crossing is not up to PL standard

if avb had gotten his way then ade would've been sent out on loan as well, yet we all know he's still our best striker. just because he succeeded in shipping benny out doesn't mean he should be written off. 4/5 years of great service isn't erased by half a season of injuries and another half of trying to regain form/fitness. i watched benny closely for camerron and he still looked decent to me, if he was to stay i wouldn't say it's unthinkable that he ends up 1st choice again.

4/5 years of great service? dear oh dear, more like 4/5 years of being an accident waiting to happen and often happening. Apart from missing a lot of early playing time from injury Benny has to be up there with a succession of awful left backs we somehow have seemed to accumulate.
I know people have different opinions and I'm not suggesting he hasn't had the odd excellent game but during his time here for the most part he has been a very weak full back with no real defensive game and a very hot and cold offensive game, even despite the fact that unlike most of his poor predecessors for quite a bit of time he had a left winger ahead of him to provide some cover and take some of the attacking burden.
Personally I was so glad to see the back of him, though granted that pleasure was rather muted when we failed to get a quality LB to replace him and had to rely on Danny Rose. How any club with any serious ambition can have successive players like that in a key position is beyond me, although to be fair only following on from a long line of equally poor left backs prior to it
I guess if we look at the likes of Gilberto, Atouba and Tramezzani it's easy to argue that there have been worse, but dear oh dear the standards have been so low you have to wonder if the selection of these left backs were all made by our old left back scout or the labrador he has to take everywhere with him
