    According to the BBC we are linked with Jason Shackell http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18704229

    Even though Burnley have already had a bid accepted as we can easily match it and likely offer a better contract.

    What do you think - he wasn't that bad the few times I saw him but I said the same things about Mills.

    Honest opinion - I don't see him as a premiership player based on, admittedly, the limited amount I've seen of him ... he coped with Beckford and Nugent fairly well but then both tend to go missing when faced with rugged defenders ... Nugent drifts wide or into midfield whilst Becks just spits his dummy and sulks about how unfair it all is ...

    Contrast him to (amalgamating the more lucid and non-insult posts from our firends 'the tiggggers') - James Chester - who appears to be the next Des Walker - if only that were to prove true - it would be so good that I'd gladly volunteer AKCJ to wear a tiger print mankini and skip through central Hull singing 'maul me roughly tiggggers' ...

    We can do better.

    He's about as good as SSL.

    I think I'd take him at £1.1 million.

    See you miss him really? To be honest this site needs the banter. Come on back OLM all is forgiven, and bring your mankini for AKCJ:1980_boogie_down:

    Nah they've all gone back to their own board to remember their own legends like Jimmy Bullard, Nick Barmby, Justin Whittle, Andy Payton and erm..... Ken De Mange.

    how good do people see SSL as? Are we seeing him as good enough to get promoted with?

    He is good shackell, just think we can do better. He can pass a ball though.

    i say he can, i am basing that on about 2 games. Not well, but will give it to someone who can do a better job than him ie midfielder or full back. Looks like Antony Gerrard is up for grabs- i wouldnt mind him.

    Well Bolton have their bargin Mills and if this is the replacement then I'm not exactly jumping through hoops! I have serious doubts about us signing you know who so I hope NP has an ace up his sleeve.

    I really don't miss him.

    He's the only Hull fan I can't stand.
