I didn't think kr fans were overly thrilled with Ellis? I could tolerate him not being a dominant half back and struggling when Gale is out, but it's his tin pot defence when he's built like a brick S house that riles me.
Abdull has had a reasonable chance with Kelly and sneyd out injured and I appreciate hulls pack has fallen off a cliff but from what I've seen the half backs haven't exactly sparkled either.

Won't be a massive asking price, I'm sure we'd find someone. He's a decent player just clearly not happy at Hull.

To some extent, it's a game of chicken.
Can JA face a year of 'development' at Doncaster? His agent has floated the possibility of him seeing out his contract if needs be. Can Hull stand paying him a year's wage to do that, then losing him for nowt anyway? I doubt he's on a massive wage so it might not spite their face all that much.
However, it's clearly better for both parties to move on, and I'm pretty sure that'll push a deal over the line. A modest fee can remain undisclosed, if that saves blushes. A player swap might be an option

JA is a bit of enigma in the fact he has talent and potential but fails to deliver when the opportunity is there to take for him. With the loss of Sneyd, Kelly & Connor, Abdull has had a massive opportunity to shine and show his potential even with a poorly performing team. The fact he hasn't for me is quite telling as to whether he can or can't cut it at SL level.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

I have some sympathy for him in that he's come back from injury into an appalling side. That said he's hardly raised his game and shone amongst all the crap.

This, and I also feel that in his mind, he would be thinking that even if he did have a great performance/s that he would still be down in the pecking order.
