So why arent we strong there? Gardner when fit is nearly as good as Turner, Zayatte was one of our best players last season but made 2 or 3 bad mistakes at crucial stages but is a good back up along with Mouoykolo who looked good against Spurs and must have somthing about him if Arsenal and Real Madrid was looking at him

I hardly remember seeing him, I think I seen him in a pre-season game once and thought he was dire. Had white hair IIRC.

Let's be honest, Turner has hardly 'made it'. He was part of one of the worst defences in the league last year in a side, who, for the majority of the season, played sh*t negative footy. When he's done it for 2-3 seasons, or is playing consistently for a top side, then it's fair to say he's made it to the PL level. But I still have my doubts.

Real Madrid and Arsenal were looking at him but he turned them down to sign for the mighty Hull City? Righto.

You obviously dont know the difference between looking and offering...

So obviously Arsenal and Real Madrid never did the latter but he still looks a decent signing

So in other words, they looked at him and decided he was poop and that's why he's ended up at Hull City. If they were really looking at him and actually interested at all, he'd be your first choice centre back but it sounds like he's going to be third or even fourth choice.

Like Robbie Rotten said, he was part of one of the worst defences in the League. It isn't a sign of strength. Otherwise other PL clubs would be buying them.



Right, so one of your best players is a good back up? That's probably why you were almost relegated.



The same Arsenal who despite having Senderos and Silvestre decided against buying him?

Big clubs look at loads of players in all Leagues at all levels every week, and sometimes they even buy them, doesn't mean they're any good though.

See Eric Djemba-Djemba and Klebersen for two wonderful examples.

Turner had a decent season and turned a few heads with his consistency. However, along with Zayatte (who you say was one of your better players) they were the central part of a defence that conceded 64 goals!! A stat only beaten by bottom club West Brom's 67 goals against. That's almost 1.7 goals/game and with a defence leaking goals like that you're gonna need Fernando Torres and Wayne Rooney at the other end to keep you up this season!!!!!



Oh and by the way, I know what I'm talking about coz Leeds 'looked' at me when I was a lad

Imagine not getting a game for them. You must be shiite.

Ouch!
