Because maybe Hull don't want to just yet. They're gonna be announcing them slowly over a few weeks in order to maintain a level of enthusiasm from fans and try to increase pass sales. They'll want to keep the good feeling going for as long as possible.

Our first signing is to be announced early next week, who I believe will be holdsworth. With another later in the week, likely to be crookes.

The remaining signings will then be announced 2 a week over the next month.

I'm expecting chase to be the final announcement.

May be there aren't any, yet.

Fantastic

Another month of stupid rumours to keep an eye on.

I think given they have gone way past Chases stated deadline that the deal is sorted and hes on his way and hopefully to get the ball rolling will be our first announcement which would really set pass sales alight then others to keep the fire burning

Out of contract ?

Don't know if he has been mentioned but heard Mose Masoe from Roosters.

Holdsworth will be the first signing announced mate.

With regards to chase, he is arguably the biggest signing for next year and I expect the club to really hype up the signing. Announcing him last will keep the momentum going into the general sale tickets

I honestly dont think Chase will happen and even if it does then what exactly would be the point in announcing him last if hes the star signing?

I agree you announce your stars early to maximise the sales. The sooner you sell passes the earlier the money goes into the bank account. Why leave it to last?

agree totally, it would make marketing sense to come in with the cake (chase) for everyone to bite on then keep putting cream on top over the next few weeks with drib drabs of announcements to keep everyone buzzing then leave the second biggest percieved announcement till last to give it a big push at the end

if they wait any longer this board may well melt down LOL

Well whether chase is the last announcement or not,he won't be the first. That will be holdsworth

Is it not a bit odd asking questions like - I wonder when they'll tell us about Crookes or Holdsworth or Chase or McDonnell? You know, so what does it really matter when you're 'told'?

I can understand speculating about the other 3 or 4, but once 'who' is widely known, the 'when' matter little, surely.
