I think we've spent plenty in the last year to show the ambition is there - not so much a case of being skint as being unable to spend it . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make him a RW either! Quote You’ve played in a number of different positions in midfield and defense. Where are you most comfortable? “It’s not a bad thing to play in different positions to give the manager different options. I enjoy wherever I play, and I give my best for my team. “They have moved me around from right midfielder to right-back. And I play right wing-back now, which, to be honest, is my best position. “I grew up in Egypt playing this position and I’ve played it with the national team for a long time.” http://www.kingfut.com/2017/01/10/elmohamady-salah-world-class/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's damaging enough to play in any kind of offensive position. Yeah, and Richards thinks he's a CBack lol. Rooney still thinks he's a deep lying schemer. Im never keen on players own view of their best positions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 He's a decent signing for me. There are some things he isn't, but that's not his fault nor does it detract from what he is. Pleased enough and it makes sense. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Such an over-reaction to this signing on here, he's a squad player who can cover the entire right hand side of the pitch when required... Adomah is out at the start of the season so if we play with wingers Elmohamady will be the natural choice. Yes we have Bree, De Laet & Hutton at RB... but realistically De Laet is still working on coming back from injury, Hutton is slagged off on here every week and Bree is still unproven We don't have an endless pit of money, we aren't going to be buying better players in every area of the pitch in this window as we don't have the transfer budget or wage budget to do this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we have Terry and Johnstone that means we are looking at this and possibly one more? I think hoping for 3 or 4 quality signings likely to start ahead of the £100m or whatever's worth we already have is maybe hoping for a lot for a mid table Championship Club ?

dukes Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 In the scheme of things £1M is nothing, and he's a player that knows Bruce, and knows this league, not a dream signing, but sensible for where we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael118 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Quote As a wing-back who can also play right-back, Elmohamady's versatility adds to his usefulness. "I've played in three or four positions this year but it's not a problem for me. When I came to Hull the manager said he wanted me to play in the position I play with the national team, right wing-back, I know this tactic and position much better, but it's no problem for me to play right wing-back, or right midfield, or right-back." http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/fa-league-cups/fa-cup-final-hulls-ahmed-elmohamady-flying-flag-for-egypt-9350222.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted July 17, 2017 Moderator Share Posted July 17, 2017 People are perfectly entitled to think this a crap bit of business if they wish, even more entitled to say so as members of this site. Doesn't make them bad supporters etc. I'm not sure I agree but then I once though Nicky Shorey was a good bit of business so what do I know 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
