Yeah, 'what are HKR doing' was Gentle's first thought when signing Gareth Ellis, also with Joe Arundel.

It's posts like this (from a moderator no less) that make it hard for us as a group of fans to shake off the 'small club mentality' tag.

Grow up & lose the bitterness.

Dissapointed that he's going and especialy accross the river, it has also reafirmed my belief that its best to wait for the facts to emmerge rather than put your trust in rumours no matter where they come from.
I just hope that rovers have someone very capable in mind who can fill the position otherwise i fear that some of the good work could be undone, there are some fickle fans out there who might start to think, oh well if thats the amitions of the club then i wont renew my pass and we all know those type of fans do exist on both side of the divide.
In my opinion Hull fc have aqquired a good fullback at our expense and i also think he will get even better, they (Hull) are obviously making a statement of intent of where they want to go next season with this and other signings they are apparently making.

I think Shannon McDonnell has done really well, but even in these times of diminishing availability of quality, I don't think he qualifies as a statement of intent. Tbf, Hull have made that already with Gareth Ellis.
I said on the other forum that McDonnell is good but hardly irreplaceable - we gain a non-fed spot, if nothing else.

No one is realy irreplaceable in litteral sense of the word i aggree but, the fact that we are not prepared to pay certain sums of money for players reduces our options in the player market somewhat and given the fact that good fullbacks are few and far between at the moment means that it it may prove quite difficult to replace him.
Regarding Hulls statement of intent, the fact that they are prepared to pay quite large sums of money for players like Ellis and others does imo at least give the impression that they are making a statement of where they intend to go next season.

An obvious signing from Adam Pearson to get one over Hudgell.
His bitterness knows no bounds ....
Anymore?

Might catch a few with that...

He HAS NOT signed for anybody

Well in sir!

Says who u seem pretty certain

As certain as can be

Big Jake said so lol

So basically some fans feel he should be dropped against Cats because his reception will not be pretty as he has been with you on a 1 yr deal and if rumours are to believed he has signed for another club even though your club gave him permission to....classy real classy, so glad it is on Sky I would not want to miss that
