I'd like to say that at least this means the end of Micah fcukin Richards but I'm not at all convinced of that statement.

I guess Bruce has always rated him. I don't, but there are worse Hull players I guess. Seems pretty uninspiring, one of those forgettable players who will come up in a trivia quiz one day.
We had an Egyptian goalkeeper.  Nigel Sphinx.

Randy lost a  pharaoh amount of money too.

I hope he's not a Luxor-y player, we have enough of those.

That must be one of the world's worst endorsements.

I would sincerely hope we wouldn't have the same player acquisition strategy once promoted. So far it has been about getting safe and/or experienced players in. The only consideration is this season and the only goal is promotion. I'm not entirely in agreement with this approach but I can accept that this is the path being taken. If we do this next season we'll be playing Championship football in 2019/2020.

I was torn between that and, its Bruce's "Grant Holt moment".

But I figured that might be too negative for a signing thread :)

I'm guessing our Director of Football's overhaul of the scouting network must only be about finding kids for the academy as for the first team it is obv one guy just watching 'the Premiership Years' on a loop.

Any chance of buying someone with some pace? ...this then Whelan have we joined the walking football league?

Boring, lazy, uninspiring football management. Like his footballing 'style'.
Bruce is fecking predictable , if nothing else.

Don't read this.
Few posts mention Elmo - and  one of those suggested he didnt do too bad -dammed with feint praise if you will. Obviously he was considered to have down tools to a degree after his return from AFCON - well, we were not unfamiliar with the on the beach concept 15 months ago , were we?  I expect he will not allowed to be like that under Bruce

No idea if he's any good but he always seems a jolly chap and it gives me an excuse to post this:-
