I think that's avoidance of a very reasonable question. You complain at length about our squad, fair enough, and I agree that there must be cash available. So far we are agreed. We have no overseas spots left. Therefore only British players, or overseas players here before 2008, are technically "available", even if all are under contract, some for five years. Since you clearly don't rate Obst and the like, and thought we were very poor last year,let's assume for now that only players from teams in places ahead of us.
The players you would suggest we target are therefore:
[uWigan[/u
Thomas Leuluia
Sam Tomkins
Paul Deacon
Michael McIlorum
[uWarrington[/u
Chris Bridge
Lee Briers
Richie Myler
Michael Monaghan
Micky Higham
Jon Clarke
[uSaints[/u
Leon Pryce
Kyle Eastmond
James Roby
Jon Wilkin
Scott Moore
[uLeeds[/u
Danny McGuire
Rob Burrow
Paul McShane
It's all very well to bleat, but let's try and be a bit more constructive. Which of these do you think would a) improve our squad and b) would be released by their clubs (bearing in mind that Lenegan, Moran, McManus and Caddick are not likely to be swayed by a fee if they rate the player as pivotal).What should the board be doing in terms of recruitment from this group that would satisfy you? It really is a reasonable question.

Garbage, it's nothing like that. The question is straight forward, who do you suggest Hull should make a move for?

Lets list the Leeds players who should have been booted at the first sign of bother off the pitch, or those who cant keep off the cough mixture and keep out of the jeremy kyle pages living their love life out in the street?

For a start, there is no reason that the group should be limited to these players. I don't know who may have been available overseas when we had a chunk of salary cap and a quota space available. I don't know how much salary cap we now have so can't comment on whether we can afford any of those players. I don't know if we have a transfer budget to make a bid. I don't know what long term promises we can make to any player as I don't know what deals we may be looking at from 2012.
It's not my job to find the players. that's what rule et al are paid to do. What I do know is that plenty of other clubs seem to have been able to bring in half backs and that finding one was supposed to be a priority 4 months or more ago.
Anyway, how long is a piece of string?
