Hope your right, don't get me wrong the guy has been a great player in his time but he is 34 yrs old with his best days behind him, he certainly does not fit into young promising British players which AP has alluded to, all a bit confusing to me.
Unless of course the price is right and he is brought in for a bit of cover and mentoring the young ones which would not be a bad thing.

Daily Mail starts a Rumour thread of its own

Key wording in the whole article is "IF" the deal comes off.

That's the key to this deal. How can we (Hull Fc) justify paying someone like Galea a large wedge?

Christ on a bike. This will be interesting

I like him a lot, but he does look a bit out of shape.

We offered him 50k

Half his current contract

He'll come to us for 40k then.

Only consolation is that pretty much every player the wail have said we've signed has gone elsewhere

I would put my morgate on the fact it would not be a large wedge, his family is settled so he may have been offered a wage to reflect his age with a view to a bit of mentoring/coaching and cover, and thinking about that it would not be a bad deal at all.

This is true.

I'dve taken Galea a couple of years back but this signing would be massively risky. Hardly John Bateman.
