To the uninitiated it will look like good business indeed. Sell a player that is valued at £150,000 farm him out for two years and get him back for free on a quarter of the wage that he was on when he left!

This thread reminds me of the one when we signed albert Kelly on the same deal.

Short term contract ; no lose scenario for hull.

It wouldn't surprise me if the next announcement is Abdull has signed for Rovers.

Very disappointing if it happens.

Absolutely. I have no issue with Westerman coming back if Radford thinks its the right thing. Anyone can see that he has an astute eye for signings and getting the best from them. He certainly won't stand for any nonsense and neither will the other players I reckon. Interesting times...

Not too sure about this one. Since he's been away I can't say we've missed him too much

I just used to think he tried too much, and ended up getting in our HB way most of the time. But, the people in charge have got more right than wrong recently.

I've also got a horrible feeling that he's a replacment for Mini or Manu, which would be a massive step down. If he's going to replace anyone then I hope it's Washy.

Next year a back row of: New Signing, Manu, Hadley and Westerman on the bench. Then you've got Lane, Turgut and Downs behind them

It would be a shame yes, as he's a local lad, but realistically where does he currently fit?

Kelly is the incumbent stand-off, and Connor is his replacement and he is better than Abdul. Loose forward yes, but we don't tend to play that style.

Westerman will be a replacement for Minicello should he prove his worth I think.

Lee has done very little wrong, we need more ideas in attack, but back to back CC's suggest that isn't a huge issue. Qiestion now is where Connor and Griffin play, unless we know (the club) that Kelly is going...


as you say, interesting times!

Sounds a decent scenario.
Shape up or he'll be shipped out.
Said it would take a few weeks to get him in condition.
Will have to leave the ale & pies alone if he wants to be around next year.

Happier that its only til the end of the season with an option to extend. Pressure is then on him to perform
