People need to remember that a large part (25%?) of Horne's wage is wrote off the salary cap due to the length of time he has been here,

So in terms of the cap he will not be that expensive, plus I imagine that his last contract was on reduced terms due to his injuries

You can have 50k off players wages who have been at the club for 10 season at a max of 50% per player.

If Yeamans on 100k we wouldn't need Horne for the saving.

Exactly my take on it. Maybe why we initially said he wasn't a target and now we've seen what he can play like when he hits a bit of form.

Hope we offer Geoffrey Luxon a deal

I mentioned it on a previous rumours thread both Lovegrove and Mcdonnell had signed for us.

So a Rovers fan at work told me after hearing one of Phil Lowe's pals talking about it.

Still think we will sign a new 6. Horney will still play a fair few games covering the halves and FB. It's how Whiting has made his name.

Both clubs denying the McDonnell signing according to he HDM.

They will atm. What is interesting is that people are jumping on Gollum for this breaking news when its actually come from Mike White.

Maybe just maybe Radio Humberside have got this one wrong, like i posted earlier until the club announce i assume its not going to happen.

You must have missed it then, it was on her and twitter a few weeks back. I got told we had offered him a deal. Bomber actually came out denied the link and said it wasn't happening.

The only potential issue is if a better option has become available at fullback (McDonnell) as opposed to halfback it could mean Horne will continue as a 6 next year. Which imo would not be a good move.

True, but I like the theory that we're able to sign both much more.

Mike White has a pretty good track record when it comes to breaking stories. He ran with the Steve Bruce to City story well before anyone else as far as I'm aware and was proved right. I reckon despite some denials at present this deal is gonna happen.

If we've got

McKinnon, Sharp, Martin, Turner, Ellis, O'Meley, Moa, Manu, Aspinwall, Burnett out

and

McDonnell, Crookes, Arundel, Watts, Ellis in I'd guess we've still got a few quid left.

And thats not to mention if we get anymore space on the cap signing a few more England squad players.

As do I mate.
