You could argue, Thompson, Shaul, Feka, Naughton are all squad players, but when called upon all do a decent job, a better job than throwing a u19 player in. Im sure Washy wouldn't come just to make the numbers up. Don't think anyone is going to excited by the signing. But surely its not a bad one

nobody cried when Washy got released and we signed Aspinwall, O'Barrell, Burnett and Andy Lynch in 2012

I can't believe we're replacing Lineham with Washbrook, disgrace of a club.

Re: Washbrook rumor : Tue Jun 09, 2015 11:59 am  

personally, id like to go with Abdul (who looks like a star in the making) at 13 to cover westerman, or is the rumours true he is leaving also????

Re: Washbrook rumor : Tue Jun 09, 2015 12:00 pm  

Agree with the above, I actually think Abdul has the potential to be a better player for Hull than Westerman.

Re: Washbrook rumor : Tue Jun 09, 2015 12:04 pm  

Or as a replacement for another playing leaving towards Cheshire ............

Kerching ..............

I can't believe you don't know one is a winger and the other is a forward.

I am more worried that Washbrook may be Westerman's replacement.

Washbrook's also played 33% more games, though. I've put in the averages per game, makes it a lot closer and in a few instances swings the balance the other way. That's not to criticise Washbrook's stats, I just think that when comparing player stats it's better to try and do so on as even a basis as possible.

I think a great deal of sarcasm was meant by that post

Re: Washbrook rumor : Tue Jun 09, 2015 1:58 pm  

Westerman has signed for Wigan as a replacement for the injury prone Sean o'loughlin
