Glad to hear that Hobbs is having a medical with us, to be honest from the signings we have been linked with (that have actually sounded like they are going to sign) he is the only one I really wanted us to get in. I'm sure Mckenna and Adebola are good players and may add something to the team, but I thought it was a breath of fresh air seeing all these young talented players coming to Hull and to be honest I would rather see us bring in more players like these rather than older ones. Despite this I understand that youngsters need experienced players to help aid their development on and off the pitch. I find it strange that Mckenna and Adebola have been mentioned as signing for us but neither have been confirmed, whereas the Hobbs deal seems to be nearly completed. I have a slim hope that the Mckenna and Adebola stories are just smokescreens to other clubs and really Walsh and Pearson are working hard behind the scenes to bring in some players that we would never have thought of, and are using the Adebola and Mckenna stories to distract interest from other clubs. What has happened to Kovacevic? He seems like an interesting buy, I wish we would start being linked with some Goalkeepers though! What do you all think?
No I think that Mckenna and Adebola are actually going to sign. They'll probably announce all three in one go. I'm not too worried as I trust NP and know he will do the right thing. I think our next move should be getting rid of some players. We should send Mcshane to Leeds as a double agent, destroy them from the inside.
I reckon it would be worth making Matt Duke a take it or leave it offer, this offer would be nowhere near his previous pay and he may well say no, but at the right price would make an excellent second choice choice keeper. Knows the club, popular with other squad members etc. Does anyone have any info on what's happening with him at present. Last I heard he was still looking for a club. Some people have suggested that Nigel P didn't fancy him (as a keeper). If this is so, what or who does he fancy? and can we afford it?
Adam Pearson has already announced that the club are looking for a new keeper, and not to be worried as there are plenty of good ones in the sights of the club. Duke I expect will be on the move soon enough. He was rumoured to be going to Derby however I don't think anything has materialised yet on that subject.
I've heard it will be Peter Gulacsi from Liverpool. Apparently they need him to be loaned out as it's his last chance to prove his worth. Saw him when our Reserves played Liverpool and he spent a little time at Tranmere. Sounds like Pearson's type of player. Unknown, untested, but talented.
I have a friend who supports Tranmere and he reckons Gulacsi is a decent keeper. However, he's no Mannone though, he's more of a Guzan sort of keeper. Sounds like nothing special.
In the U20 World Cup, he saved three penalties in a shoot out to secure third place, so at least good at saving penalties and he's about the same size as Mannone(****ing big).
ditto we've already signed lots of youngsters a couple of experienced larkers will add steel, the keepers will be sorted.. Ayala in too will cap it for me.

Maybe Hobbs, Mckenna & Adebola will be unveiled friday morning when the new home kit is meant to arrive, might be the usual new player picture with all 3 in the new home shirt or maybe one of them unveiling the new away shirt
Well it keeps being announced about McKenna and Adebola everywhere, except on the City OWS. http://www.eighteensixtyfive.co.uk/...ason-ticket-sales-steady-tv-dates-announced/?
