    Rather get rid of Kissa, AOB and Connolly, and keep Brucy

    Bruce has the heart but not the ability for the modern game IMO.

    Honest player & I wish him well wherever he ends up.

    Bruce has left already hasn't he? I thought his contract expired, not listed on the official site either?

    Pity, I always thought he'd make it at Leeds. We wait to see how much of an improvement Pearce is. Where's AOB? Still with us & awaiting being moved on? Kisnorbo may end up moving on once he regains fitness. But I hope we keep him as back up to Lees & Pearce. What about Bromby? Has he moved on?

    Bromby may not come back! Poor sod, horrendous injury! No ones going to take AOB due to his high wage & no one will gamble on Kissa due to his injury record. Maybe it was a blessing that Grayson asked Bates for another CB and got the boot! If you look at the dross we are stuck with picking up a wage its a serious problem.

    Paynter- getting paid to much to play in L1 but not good enough for the championship

    AOB- Negotiated his own terms & played us against Cardiff. Nowhere near good enough for the wage he commands

    Kissa- amazing when he came in. Solid signing. Injury's and the step up have taken there toll, the 2 year extension was a mistake (but an easy one to make I suppose)

    Connolly- Seems to be a bit of a bad apple. Mediocre defender who seems to have an attitude problem & wont get into the shop window as he wont play. Possible loan move maybe?

    Bromby- Liability, full of mistakes But great long throw and currently injured.

    Nunez- Looked explosive and great internationally against nobody's. Lacks the basics & a footballing brain. Seems to have Grella syndrome

    None of the above players should even be squad players in a championship team pushing for the play offs.

    I reckon that's about 240k a month being thrown away right there.

    When you think O'Dea kept him out of the team it says something about his ability or lack of, I don't think he made the bench that often either...

    True battler though. Had a few stand out perfomances that would have had him in the prem if he could repeat them week in week out. Arsenal game is a great example.

    Not good enough for Hull though IMO.

    Have you guys got your act together yet and found some cash for Peltier?

    Hull had a good defence last year and its about to go downhill if they sign Bruce

    Bruce left ages ago, and I would have kept him to be honest I liked his commitment he can head and tackle but no we will keep AOB instead.

    Who knows mate! Clayton went out & Paddy came in so I expect Lonners will go to Bolton freeing up some cash for Peltier. Just want this takeover to happen now so we no where we stand. I hope to god Warnock has just been pro active upto now and has signed players within his limitations and we get a few cash signings when the funds are in place. Must admit our back line is looking much stronger & we were shocking at defending last term!

    I don't actually think we've any intention of signing Bruce, it didn't go well the last time he had his dad as his manager and I don't expect him to repeat that mistake, I think we're just helping him stay fit while he finds a new club.

    Makes sense. Dont think he is a bad player to have around and can slot in as RB albeit not a great one! Wish him all the luck in the world but think Hull/Leeds is a bridge to far for his natural ability <ok>

    I think the Clayton money was initially for Peltier, Varney and Norris - Portsmouth seemed certain that a deal would be done for Varney before Thursday of this week... Warnock had to then use the money to secure Kenny as someone else was making a move for him as the Bolton offer for Lonners wasn't enough. Guess until the T/O happens Warnock is having to juggle his piss pot around.

    But he can't. Nor can he mark. Awful defender, and would be League One at best without that scum surname of his.

    Gotta agree, commitment to the team isn't enough. You need ability as well and he doesn't really. So what he had a good game against Arsenal, how often did he do that?
