    So we have a player who is average in his strongest position, now cover the same position on the other side of the pitch? Only us <doh>

    Can this Arias we are after play left, maybe he will be first choice RB and be our cover for LB should Olssen get injured.

    Not so much written him off, but rather the £16.5m plus Kingsley by the looks of things that's worrying people?

    Valley - it's reported that Kingsley is part of the total cost. So, if he is valued at £3m, then our net cash outlay is c£13.5m

    I wish i was wrong i tell you but 100% im not...i checked.... Why has nobody been interested if this guy clucas was any good ? £15m+ add ons may give you clue. Hull are laughing all the way to the bank with selling a player that is no better than we have which you now will soon find out. And getting rid of Kingsley just shows we are in disarray big time....so i will ask again How have we improved the squad ?.......For £15-£16m i would expect us getting better from abroad somewhere.....As usual we leave things until the last minute and we panic buy....

    When did you speak with Huw last?
    His office chopped in half to accommodate Pearlman.
    Pearlman fronting up discussions with the Council (& I suspect the Ospreys).
    Pearlman in charge of everything but football - so Pearlman controls the purse strings.....

    So, you've given up reasoning with Roof so you're having a go with Dai? Good luck with this <laugh>

    I'd rather have kept Kingsley , for another season at least ., but its a good move for him if only to further his development .

    Hull paid less than 2 mill 2 years ago.
    22016/17 season 41 games 3 goals 1 assist 0.56 crosses per game 1.1 aerial battles won 9 yellow cards 1 red 83% pass success 1.1 shots per game. Sorry but not up to standard for this league and certainly not at £15mill. Doesn't sound like a Clement signing to me

    You saying he's that good Huw travelled 20,000 years into the future to buy him?

    I'd have liked to have seen Kingsley start a game at LB with Olsson on the wing. For me, Olsson is a better attacker but Kingsley a better defender.
