Was that tesco in Australia

yes, just on Bondi beach, behind the surfboard shop

I see rovers have confirmed today that Kelly has left the club.

Jamie Ellis has also signed for Rovers, does that effect Abdull going on loan there?

Yes, I believe they are up to their fat half back quota now

If he's staying with you does that mean you can't sign Kelly? Because that that would definitely put you over the Fat Cap!

I think Frank's wages will more than cover for Kelly .

Whooooosh!

Kelly is a lean, mean scoring machine now he's in a professional environment

HDM is reporting Abdull has signed a long term contract with us but the loan deal to KR is still on.

Abdul to us official. Season long loan. On our website now.

Well Pritchard is definitely going - his house in Kirk Ella now has a To Let sign outside of it

Confirmed on FC website too.

has Abdull signed a new deal, i assume he has but there is no mention of a new deal and how long it is for

Noticed that too. Just Radders saying FC have the option to keep him long term. It's only the Mail saying he's signed a contract and all they say is "long term". Perhaps they have put two and two together based on Radders quote.

Do you think you might play him at loose forward or half back?


For me he is a loose forward and that is where his future should lie.

If Abra-kebab=ra could get a 6 pack then he would be a 6

Sheens says on their site that Marsh will play fullback so guessing Ellis and Abdull will be their halves.

I think that'll be plan A. But Abdull is still young, inexperienced and needs to get/keep in trim. If he's struggling, Blair and Addy can cover, as we've got a good number of backrowers. As well as Marsh - though I think shifting him to fullback makes sense.

For Abdull and Hull, the Championship is probably the best place for him at this point in his development. Better than knocking around the under-23s, certainly. If you have signed him beyond 2018, I'd assume it'd be with an option in the club's favour.

We hopefully get a short-term fix, which is what we need. Alongside Ellis, he [ushould[/u go well in in the Championship.

Good question on HullKRfans about what will happen with Ellis and Abdull if Hudds and/or Hull ended up in the middle 8s.

With Ellis, I'm not sure he'll currently be planning on a return to Hudds, but the contract is there for him to fall back on. Abdull does presumably see his future at Hull.

I know there's often the possibility of loan players damaging the interests of the parent club in football, but relegation doesn't typically void all contracts. And they still often have clauses in deals preventing it happening.

Hopefully it has been discussed and clearly agreed in advance. My gut feeling is that they shouldn't play - not fair on the players.

i would imagine everything would point to rovers signing ellis on a permanent for the 2018 season if he helps get them promoted

It's official

Please behave yourself Albert!

Looking good.

Welcome Albert

still unsure, but i will trust radders, motu and Pearson on their judgement
