And herein lies the difference between Hull and Rovers at present. You'd prefer to sign a "big name" who has been there, done it, and worn the jersey regardless of their current age/fitness.
Rovers on the other hand sign players with something to prove and a desire for success, at an age where they are not over the hill and coming into their prime.

The harsh reality for you is that your club has signed 2 rejects from the wooden spooners.
Both players coming from such a losing culture will fit right in...

He's a top player and one I wouldn't mind seeing in a Rovers shirt, but big names with impressive cv's don't always win you games, as you well know.

It's the difference between 3rd and 12th.
GAME, SET AND MATCH
HULL KINGSTON ROVERS is my religion, Craven Park is my church and Jordan Abdull is my God
