A big risk, but one worth taking IMO, you would guess we will get him on a good deal and if he acts like he did in the 2nd year, then at least we have some options to play stand off. If we can get the best out of him then it's a great signing, who will work well with Sneyd and should do well behind or pack.

Maybe he should. But it was his fault a choice had to be made, so as it was he helped hammer in the final nail in the coffin.
Others made mistakes, but they were honest mistakes. Kelly was just a wazzock.

Not sure how it would upset one or two, Michaels and Mini know him and I'm sure they have been spoken to about him, we have to trust Radford and Tony, as there recruitment has been very good.
Rumoured to be already training with Hull (or at least One on one with Hatton)
I think we all agree he has the talent, but has been a knob off the field, maybe he last chance.

You probably know better than me. I've heard a few rumours, of course. Even if they were true, putting them on here would be potentially libellous.
Much as JP wasn't (and I really hope the use of the past tense is appropriate) afraid to take his points of principle into self-harming territory, I don't believe even he would have further jeoparized our SL survival over a single minor infraction.

I've only heard he was a nightmare at training, he doesn't like structure, which tbf his best asset is off the cuff play, punctuality wasn't the best also, & would behave as professional as he should have, but always paid his Valentinos bill.

In a literal sense you do. But nobody is infallible, and every signing is a risk.
The upside is his undoubted talent. The downside is that he is clearly a troubled soul, whose irresponsibility has seen him booted out of three clubs, despite that talent.
On the balance of probabilities, I can see him being a decent fit for Hull. He'll add another dimension. Bringing the total to two by my count. But expectations have been raised by your success this year. You're no longer the surprise package, and you're unlikely to have as few injuries in 2016 as 2017. If things go a bit sour, he's not somebody you want to rely on. In fairness, you wouldn't be, at least not to the extent we were.
He gets (another) fresh start. Hull get an x-factor player. We're well shot of him. Maybe sometimes everybody wins.
