Honeyman to Hull?

It's a realisation and acceptance that it was the wrong decision. Honeyman should have been a utility squad player for us this season, and he'd have been fine in that role. As captain, number 10 and guaranteed starter, he wasn't really up to the job.

When George Honeyman is a squad player in your team, that's fine. When he's playing in one of the most important and creative positions every game, you have problems.

As much as he's not the most popular player here.

I'm not going to lie, I was expecting more than 400k.

I'm sure he was linked with Sheff Wednesday a season ago for a few million.

He hadn't just had a rank average third division season then though. We signed Baldwin for £300k, he was Peterborough's Captain, who had made the play offs and he was also probably rank average.
 
Honeyman may not set the world alight but he was capable at this level, the crap he is getting is beyond lunacy, Henderson was getting boo'ed before he went to Liverpool and everyone saying great transfer, look at him now, Honeyman may below the standard of Henderson but shows you what the supporters know most of the time.

yep, absolute revision and horseshit. one of many in terms of team contribution, but saying it was the main reason or one of them is one if the most ridiculous statements ever on this message board and there's been a few.

The manager not knowing his best side was a big reason. Persisting with a bloke who wasn't up to the task being asked if him was part of that.

He really isn't.

Whilst mentioning Henderson in the same post is ridiculous, my opinion when Liverpool came calling with £20m was to tell them to fuck off.

I've maintained all along that he wasn't good enough either as a captain or a player, in my opinion. He won't be missed. I was shocked and delighted that Hull offered nearly half a million for him. If any of the Hull scouting team are reading this, I was kidding, he's class …

captain should not be a function of football ability..

roy keane was among the least technically gifted man utd players of his era..great captain though..

Bit of a difference there mind Coutinhio /Honeyman? Shows how good Coutinhio is when Barca are trying like mad to off load him.

its the principal of it..rewrading a player by making them captian is done at the top levels of the game..
 
10/10 for effort but that was it really......Can't see the money from him being reinvested and my main concern with the current owners is that the likes of Mumba. Kimpioka, etc will be sold if they have a good season.....It's imperative that we get out of this league, this season and get some new owners.

To tak whatever you can get for anybody with a half decent wage. Ability, or in this case lack thereof, probably hasn't even crossed their minds. Everybody in that squad is for sale.
