| No he's not, but Arundle is probably earning a few quid.....and played for Doncaster at weekend on dual registration. Why would we have loads of cash tied up in someone not getting a game? I'm well aware we need cover, but not at his price.
As for Crookes, he will be on a fair whack and yet again will struggle to get a game when all players are fit. In my eyes it's best they get him gone, and have players like Colbon, who needs to prove himself, on not so much money.

| I'd take Arundel at Rovers in a heartbeat. Then again, have you seen our centres?

| Good piece of business top class wingers are hard to find, especially those without a club.

Indeed they are. When you find one, what will you do with Colbon?

| If its a swap of injured Crookes for a fit Colbon then I'm ok with it and it probably frees up cap space.
Don't understand the lack of love for Arundel, Crooks and Yeaman have both been regularly injured over the last couple of seasons, who's going to fill in for them ?

Tut Tut, Colbon one of the great wingers of our time, shame you can't see class when it's right in front of you, or did you stand in the South Stand?

The chances are Crooks or Yeaman will be missing a few games and Arundel gives us good cover, I don't know what he earns, what would be the point in releasing him now? Is there any available players better? Colbons not and we can afford them all under the cap.

And as proven with Briscoe, even harder to keep.

| With Crookes injured and no sign of Biggs, makes sense to have some experienced cover. Stark still 12 months away IMO.
Welcome to the Black & Whites Liam

Very true, when the big boys come knocking not a lot you can do.

Even without injuries Arundel can push for a place IMO. Yeaman looked much better than last year against Catalan, but if his form goes back to like last year I'd personally give Arundel a go. Likewise if Crooks misses tackles for fun like on Friday his place should also come under threat. I think it's far from cut and dried who are our 2 best centres.

To be fair, I often had an obsured view of him, usually caused by my hands over my eyes as he prepared to diffuse a bomb.

| Quote: norbellini "I dont understand this signing at all The kid is not very quick and would get targetted under a high ball Yet we have a younger bigger quicker player playing for Donny What has Arundal got to do Whenever i saw him play he was a good prospect To say its a specialised position I could name a few centres and forwards in the present squad who have made a decent fist of if Somebody will correct me'"
I am not sure about Colbon either but like any new player at the club he deserves a chance at least. To write him off already at a new club with a different set up and culture is just crazy. I like the way Radders is going about things and not playing players out of position, which as been our downfall in recent years. He will be wearing the black and white of Hull now and he will get my support. I just hope he is yet another one to prove all the doubters wrong again. Welcome To Hull F.C. Liam.
