| I believe someone else said earlier in the thread that Kelly is the type of player that we want but Kelly himself is not the player we need. This certainly sums up my general initial feelings towards this increasingly likely signing.
I think he's a great player on his day who can be a real handful for the opposition and exciting to watch. However, I don't think he's shown that consistently enough. Then there's the disciplinary stuff. My instinct is to stay clear of this guy.
But it doesn't look like that will be the case. And thinking about it in more detail I have to concur with what others have said in that there doesn't seem to be a lot of options out there so maybe Kelly is worth the risk. And as others have said hopefully the contract will be weighed in FC's favour to account for the risk.
It's also worth remembering that since taking charge that Radders and MT have a good track record with their signings so I would urge anyone who has doubts like myself to keep an open mind on this one. Hopefully this time next year we will be praising Kelly's part in another successful season and we'll be praising LR and Motu on yet another astute signing.

| From what I have heard since last week Kelly turned down a better offer from another club to join us, again only rumour but its fits with the other things which where going around last week, regardless welcome to Fc Albert very pleased this deal came off top signing and quality player in a position which we where a little weak so great fit for both you and Fc

Let's just say more than one other SL club were interested. Time will tell whether it works out but the behavioural risk is mitigated financially so worth a punt given the lack of quality alternatives.

He has been training under Hatto for the last month.
Wouldn't have thought he'll be missing too much the first week or so with the majority of the senior players not back in yet.

| Been training for 4 weeks, no big deal although the HDM seem to making a big deal over it and the East Hull clapping seals are getting excited.
