"...on tonight's sports phone-in among other things we'll be asking Hull City supporters what they think of Sammy Collins's reported move to Hartlepool..."

What does he do then?

Right back?

Centre back

But they are talking of James Brown going the other way rage

This is what the Hull site says about him;

http://www.hullcityafc.premiumtv.co.uk/ ... 93,00.html

In brief he appears to be a big hard bastad with dodgy knees, and by the looks of the dates they mention he might have been big Micky Nelson's centre half partner at Bury.

Another centre back?

Hmmm.

We only have one fit central defender at the moment until Ben Clark is fit again.

There'll be folk playing at Mill House tonight who could do a better job than Whatdayisitandwhereami Antwi.

Done a bit of reading on him, and as the other poster says he seems very injury prone and hasnt played much in the last 2 years or so but seems to get a good write up otherwise. Big bastard in the Gary Strodder mould??? (hopefully without the own goals?)

Has been on loan to Swindon recently (possible loan deal for us?)

Seems experienced, played 280 odd games.

Ripper, what I meant to say was, I wouldn't mind someone to replace Elliott or just an everyman like Liddle who could be flexible in the back four.

Once Ben Clark's back with Nelson, we can build around that. I think their partnership's one of the best we've had at Pools in recent years, but they just haven't had playing time together.

I concur.

It would be nice to sign a "proper" left back, but with how shite Antwi has turned out we are extremely short of cover in the centre of defence right now.

is it a pre-requisite to have a dodgy knee, to sign for us now.
