Didn't Agar sign some of those, therefore they must be rubbish.

Mot FC fans will acknowledge that Agar brought some good talent to our club, the problem was he did not know what to do with them!!



A prime example of this is Will Smith, pretty poor under Agar, now a different player under a coach with a good pedigree.

Ok, they are solid players, but not much more imo. Ellis is a cut above those mentioned but the likes of Seymour, Hermenia and O'caroll aren't exactly world beaters. Lynch isn't getting younger, but Mckinnon does look good from what I've seen so far. It's just coming across to me like the Hull fans seem to think like this signing is the difference between being a mid table side to one of the top sides. You have a bit to go yet.

Most realistic FC understand building to success takes time, however regarding your point, name me 1 team in SL who have a team full of players with the calibre of Ellis, most teams are built on solid players, players like Ellis enhance a team.

Amazing signing, greatest player the world has seen, I'm so excited I could orgasm.



Is that better

OMG weve signed will smith aswell haha

This will make headlines all over the world!!

I was pretty made up by the signing of Ellis, but this thread and the one on the Leeds board has been the icing on the cake.





Keep it up, chaps.

Both of whom have played well so far this season, and are stop-gap signings until Gentle has the time/budget to reshape his squad.

It's nearly as good over on the Wakey board

Thought Sharpe had a resemblance myself the lad is bulking up a bit

Heremaia hasn't even played in SL for us yet.



Lynch has been our stand out player all season, he has made the 3rd highest number of meters despite playing a game less than most other teams.



Seymour may not be the best halfback in the world, but having gambled on the injury prone Head, Dykes and Long in recent years we decided to go for a younger option with a better injury record.



The jury is still out on O'Caroll (he has picked up a worrying amount of knocks already)



Ellis is not the final piece of the jigsaw for us, we still need to secure key players like Moa, O'Meley and Manu to new deals, and need to strengthen at Right Centre, Wing and possibly No6 (I personally feel Horne is now to slow to play there) but this signing is a massive step in the right direction for a club that has fallen rapidly backwards since the end of 2007.
