Ryan Giles signs..

And also people are saying he was crap for Hull based on being dropped. I watched Giles 3 times for Hull when he first signed and he was very good. I have no idea why they dropped him. Maybe a change in strategy..?
 
Hel be well up for it , a team thatl average more than 2 goals a game and playing attacking football at the top of the league playing as a team but with individuals destined for premier league football . Plus Hel also have competition with bangura who Hel end up sharing that position over the course of the season . Bangura will also bring us goals and also thrive with the competition of Giles .
The season can’t start soon enough 👍😎
 
He only assisted Akpom 4 times out of his 12 assists for Boro. This narrative of Akpom making him look good his horse**** and that's putting it politely.
I didn’t actually mean it in a negative way. I remember the game Akpom got his Hat trick and those goals from the cross to the finishes were unreal - they always stick in my mind for that reason.

He’s shown us that he can be an assist machine. I’m all for players who increase our chances of scoring goals.

I know you didn't... post was aimed at others even though I quoted your post. (y)
 
He clearly cannot defend.
If there isnt a skillful right winger or similar right back in the division, then he will do well.
Agree with this 100%, against average teams he did well, average Championship teams. don't mention Brighton FA cup or Burnley away.

And there's the problem. Giles came on at half time for Hull against us, we scored because of Giles poor defending fact, he never picked up Jones, too busy ball watching, away at Burnley, they targeted our left hand side and tortured Giles all game.. I was there unfortunately and seen him constantly ball watching and not picking up his runners off the ball.

Wolves sent him out on loan over several years, and he never kicked a ball for them, Yes he did well for us in the 1st half of his loan season, but then a very average 2nd half of the season, but hang on....Luton bought him for over 5M, again failed to hold a place down in there team, spending most of his short time there warming the bench, Hull come in, offer a loan deal with guarantee to buy, and again failed to hold a place down in the team. there is a common theme here... not sure what tho!!!
Some on here seem to think Giles is the new Maldini.

It's recruitment in the championship, within a very modest budget, there is always going to be elements to players games that need improvment. If Giles was as accomplished at the defensive side of the game as he is the attacking elements, he'd be in the England squad at the Euro's!!

Carrick's role, is to improve him to a level where teams cant overly exploit that area, or, as a team find a tactic to protect Giles, whilst not compromising our attacking intent. I'm confident he can do that.

Yeah some good points, If he signs, I want him to do well, I just hope he improves defensively.
