And if King bought the stadium, upgraded the training facilities, and facilitated the best squad we have had in 20 years, playing in front of sold out stadiums with a huge variety of City merchandise you would still criticise him …

You are allowed to praise him for the great stuff he’s done (which I have) whilst simultaneously be annoyed with our transfer business.

We’re not dependant on that. Wright would play left with either BTA or Simms up front. Or play BTA left.

He won’t do that. He’s only played Wright down the middle. In the game he and Simms started against Luton we switched to 4-4-2 to keep Wright up top

I see silly season hasn't gone away still.

It's very easy to sign squad fillers. It's very easy to sign players for well over their true value. We sold Binks for over his true value and only a squad filler. We sold Sheaf for a very good amount when in reality he was a replacement for Grimes who misses less than half a game a season. Grimes and Sheaf didn't work well together.

We were after players to compete for a place in the 1st team without paying over the odds. We're stronger than at the end of last season but would have been even stronger if targets we were after would have signed.

Some of the comments here are similar to those last season where Hull were signing players and not worrying about the cost. Their demise shows what happens when you use the scattergun approach.

The next transfer window opens 1st January and lasts just over a month. We haven't wasted funds available but have added to them. I hear and agree with people that we could struggle when injuries start but that's the same for every club in the Championship.
