With 12 days to go until the Champions League tie against Panathinaikos Russell Martin is stepping up his desperate search to find a winger or three.
As it stands Ross McCausland and Oscar Cortes are the  only options available with neither able to get much playing time for last season’s serial losers.
So far the Russell Revolution has concentrated on signing journeymen midfielders and defenders from the English Championship or League One, now it seems that he is using the same source for wingers. Preferably on loan.
Hope this isn’t accurate, Hull will want about £5 million for him and his stats say he’s worth £1 million

Last season Abu Kamara made 36 Championship appearances for Hull City, scoring five goals and contributing three assists. Hull avoided relegation to League One on goal difference.
Martin’s squad is currently training at St George’s Park with six journeymen added to the squad, so far none of the contracted players from last season have been sold despite the predictable hype over bids coming in for Cyriel Dessers, Nicky Raskin and Hamza Igamane.
Rakes is a good word. There was an old Glasgow expression/term of abuse, when I was a kid: Midgie Raker.
That’s what the huns are reduced to now. Midgie rakin beggin bastards.
