| There's room in the statement that allows for the actual money paid by Hull to be less but taking contract length & any "unconnected" 3rd party deals makes the whole package very attractive to Ellis.

Pearson has also brought in Aspinwall and Tony Martin.
As for Ellis, cracking player, superstar of world rugby, will be a fantastic signing!

So far:
Lynch
Mckinnon
Seymour
Hermenia
O'Caroll
Added to the likes of Yemo, Manu, Tickle, Briscoe, O;Meley, Moa
Plus Gentle is bringing youth through, several of our youngsters have been introduced.

Didn't Agar sign some of those, therefore they must be rubbish.

A prime example of this is Will Smith, pretty poor under Agar, now a different player under a coach with a good pedigree.

Ok, they are solid players, but not much more imo. Ellis is a cut above those mentioned but the likes of Seymour, Hermenia and O'caroll aren't exactly world beaters. Lynch isn't getting younger, but Mckinnon does look good from what I've seen so far. It's just coming across to me like the Hull fans seem to think like this signing is the difference between being a mid table side to one of the top sides. You have a bit to go yet.

Most realistic FC understand building to success takes time, however regarding your point, name me 1 team in SL who have a team full of players with the calibre of Ellis, most teams are built on solid players, players like Ellis enhance a team.

| I was pretty made up by the signing of Ellis, but this thread and the one on the Leeds board has been the icing on the cake.
Keep it up, chaps.

Both of whom have played well so far this season, and are stop-gap signings until Gentle has the time/budget to reshape his squad.
