| This is the poster who said Naughton and Pryce were "mistakes that would bite us" and "players we just don't need". He also wanted to keep Joe Arundel.

Got to give him some credit though, the troll gets plenty of bits responding to the bile he spouts.
Let's face it, he doesn't really know who Connor is. If he did, it would be pretty obvious to him that Connor is exactly the type of player Huddersfield would want to keep. Somehow, his warped mind twists it negatively to brand Connor a 'cast off' 7 months before he'll even put on a Hull shirt. Obviously he must be aware of the inner workings of the Huddersfield board room and their decision to let him go. Fact.
Coincidentally, I watched one of our 'cast offs' today at Cas. Looked pretty ordinary. Yet, Bumpy's lovechild Ben Crooks, despite being released early from his contract isn't a cast off? More double-standards from the resident moron.

Ok. Genuine questions blah blah blah. Let's have a look....
Quote: knockersbumpMKII "Can't say I'm overawed, it's clear signal there is no faith in our own youth products IMHO, are they really that bad that we have to sign another lowly clubs cast-off that has no pedigree?'"
Is that really a 'genuine' question you expect people to answer seriously? You've loaded it with your own negative opinion.
"no faith"
"really that bad"
"cast off"
"lowly club"
"no pedigree"
All in one sentence. And you don't understand why you get the attention you do?
A genuine question would've been something like, "should we be worried that our fringe youth players aren't breaking through" or " is Connor better than what we already have at the club". Those would've been genuine, but a loaded question full of bile isn't.
For what it's worth I think you have a point on the youth, it's worth the discussion - you just make the point really badly and it usually ends in Radford getting slated as per usual.

He knows everything you won't win, when you do question him/her they call you idiotic, absolute moron, who knows naff all, other then to knock the club, our club, that's sitting top & in the quarter final of the CC.

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?: |

"We made him (Connor) the largest offer ever made to player of his sage, so to have that rejected is very disappointing," Thewlis told League Express."
But we were told he was a cast off with no pedigree?

I think you are right, don't all contracts finish at the end of October, so his contract would start in the 1st November when he is 22, so no fee is required.

| Crafty on our part saying contract only agreed in principle so he will have his medical at the end of the year and then sign the contract after his birthday. Guess we are saying there that if he failed the medical then we couldn't sign him, that's the principle bit.

It's a gamble on both parts though, what if he has a great finish to the season and demands more money or another club come in for him or what if he gets a career threatening injury and Hull pull out of the deal.

Motu & lugs should listen to knockybumps before recruiting save us looking stupid when these signings fail to deliver, we maybe should have kept crooks & sacked lugs!

| Hmm, this has certainly changed my mind about this situation. I was under the impression this was agreed by hudds but it's seems not. A nasty way to go about things by the hull board. You've either signed him without agreement with our club and so will have to pay a fee- or you haven't actually signed him in which case the timing of the announcement this week With the Huddersfield club in mourning following the death of a young player is a pretty low blow. If you haven't yet signed him then there was absolutely no need to announce it this weekend- the day funeral announcements were made. Seems almost calculated. Not least Connor agreeing to this announcement himself who at 21 will have played alongside many of the players who are completely devastated by the loss of a teammate. If that's the size of his ego then I've changed my mind and I'm glad he's going.

Players move on all the time, it is so sad about Ronin Costello we had a minutes applause before our game with oulton yesterday, don't come on here trying the guilt trip, hudds players don't seem to bothered about Baloo getting the boot, your club badly timed that eh?

Yet your club choose to sack your coach in the same week, it's awful what happened to the young lad, but you can't stop everything in the game, I can't believe you are using the death of a young kid to suggest that Jake or the club have done anything wrong. Using words like calculated is really poor and I think it shows your true character. How long do you leave making any announcement about any Huddesfield player? But is it ok for your club to sack a coach that will have been involved in his development.
