probably is when you have blown your chance in the Bundesliga

he can play in any of those teams systems, if the bigger teams had wanted him then he would of went there

he maybe good for them but he isn't the sure fire thing you seem to think he will

Dunno why you’re making an argument of it.

It’s a good signing

Leeds have Rutter, Soton and Sheff Utd don’t play a 4231 and he’d really have to fight for a place at Wolves.

Hull makes the most sense for someone who needs minutes. We’ll see at the end of the season how good he is.

Good coach too.

I never said it was nailed on… all signings have risk. But for a club like Hull, 7th in the league to be signing a player who starred for the league champions just 2 seasons ago is obviously a good signing.

starred?

they are signing him because no one above them wants him, it's as simple as that

I agreed with everything except for these words. Worth a gamble to them maybe. Not good enough for the top 6 but if a koan like this pays off they could go up. The player has the ability.

But something has gone badly wrong. Shipped out to a club many levels below. Chance to shine. Can't get into the side. Clearly had the ability. OK next move. A bit lower again. An upper middle Championship club. Chance to shine. Does he even want to be there?

Nothing obvious at all. Most probably become a hero or just blend into obscurity.

Are they playing against the same quality players as they do in the Prem? Nowhere near. So levels below.

Unless you underestimate how strong the Prem is.

And their own league games?

Over here Tottenham, Chelsea, West Ham and Arsenal. Just some of the opponents in the Prem from 1 City. Add Manchester? United and City.

Man City. Top of their group with 6 wins out of 6. Leipzig went through second as the other 2 sides were dire.

Man United (3rd in PL) went out at the group stage, Leipzig (3rd in Bundesliga) didn't

Not tested the keeper much. Hit the bar/post. Dominated possession. Norwich don't look great to be fair, other than the one bit of real quality in the game.

Carvalho will be a good signing for them (I know there are attitude problems, but he's a good player still).

I think Hull look decent - their pitch is really not helping them/their style of play.
At the minute, Angus Gunn keeping Norwich in front.

One really good save + hit the bar. Those are going to be low XG, but were decent, well worked efforts from outside the box....
And Norwich score out of nowhere!
