I should use that secret smiley face more often. It was in response to Kingston saying he was too old to be effective at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What job do you have where you can draw your pension at 32?! I need to change my career! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlamBamRam Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I'm new to the forum but have read postings with interest for years. I think Curtis Davies will be a good signing. I won't be surprised to see Keogh leave as previously stated on here but if he had been substituted after 75 minutes in every match we'd probably have been promoted.

Van der MoodHoover Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Interesting rather than blow yer socks off signing. Whilst the fee is reasonable we don't know what wages etc so could yet turn out to be costly depending on how it goes for Curtis. Wonder whether this was one Gary had been working on for a while or whether it was more opportunistic. Would expect to see shackell and/or pearce leave.

Jourdan Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 This is a very astute signing and one with virtually no risk. He's a more accomplished, more mobile, more polished, more likeable version of Shackell, who was arguably our best defender before injuries took hold. What stands out is that we are getting a player with almost 15 years of professional football under his belt and nine seasons of Premier League football to boot, including three of the last four seasons. Of course we are hoping for a different profile of player in general but a team requires balance. He brings the leadership, experience and know-how you need to navigate through a tough season in the Championship. What is there not to like? It's an excellent signing in any case, but especially if he has been brought in to play alongside Keogh, as it should prove to be a formidable pairing. At the end of the day, at £500k, if he only performs well for one season and that season sees us seriously contend for promotion or better yet win promotion, the decision looks a masterstroke.

Gritty Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 The reaction from Hull supporters has been mixed. My feeling is that even if he has lost his sharpness and edge a little, he has 'nous' and presence and will be a good influence on the team and on the squad. I suspect he may have periods out of the team on the bench, and some long runs in the team too (i.e. he'll be a squad player and not a definite starter) but if his experience is used to good effect on and off field he will be useful.

Derby blood Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Good first signing by MR Rowett, a tough no nonsense defender, who gives his all, and leads by example, probably reminds Gary of his self when he was a player, will have a positive impact on the squad.
