There's an interview with Fitzgibbon in today's League Express.
From reading what he says, the guy's attitude and is first class.
Think he will turn out to be an outstanding signing.

That's OK we might start getting enough players in the tackle then.

Kearney-esque I'm hoping!

I couldnt be bothered to trawl though the whole thread but I have seen him compared to Menzies becuase of his age but they are very different players, we could do with someone like Menzies much more then Fitz in my opinion, I get the feeling the club have gone for the easy option and the big name to attempt to please the fans rather then what would have the most benifit to us on the field, if they wanted to show real ambition they should have gone for Orford, this signing just makes us feel underwhelmed yet again and we will need to do a lot more recruiting if we are to improve.

That said I dont doubt his quality and that he will do a job for us, you dont get the reputation and rspect that he has for no reason and his age isnt that much of a concern becuase he is still petty consistant if not spectacular, Id agree with whats generally been said about his impact being similar to Kearneys and his goalkicking is a bonus, with the right recruitment in other areas he could be a very good signing although i get the impression he will be our major signing for 2010.

We don't know we haven't.

For those raving on about Kearney.

Lets be honest. He was slow out on the pitch, slow walking in the ball, slow to get back 10. He looked fooked after 30 mins, just like Manu does (and gets jeers for)

Without doubt he was a great influence off the pitch. His headhunting at Bradford was a sad end to his playing days, why such a profesional should do that?

So Kearney, yes, a good leader, alongside Swain was very good. But in a playing capacity was 3 years past it

I like him. The comments about the club might be the usual formulaic stuff, but he's younger than Menzies, Senior, Long, Morley, Demetriou, Fozzard, same age as Gidley, we need someone with a bit of presence and gravitas. I'd say with his experience he's pretty well set in this respect. Certainly not writing him off before he even arrives.

you missed stanley gene oh maybe stanleys younger

Have you just put Demetriou in the same bracket as Morley, Menzies, Long and Gidley?????



The last 4 ARE world beaters, Demetriou however, played for Lancashire Lynx and is decent in a average Wakey team.

And the last time a Hull player went near man of steel?

Probably to scrap yard on bankside

Some of your comments have been pretty good of late. You had a lobotomy?!
