The player I said ??? could be English, plus Arundel and Crookes along with Pitts and Watts. That's a fair few.

That would be a cracking fee for Tickle considering he only has one year left. Would take the other three. Only possible thing with Chase is if his current misdemeanor is more than just drinking...?

We've lost McKinnon and O'Carrol, gained Pitts and Watts. I expect that to be a net reduction on cap spend, and there were hints that we weren't at maximum cap anyway. It wouldn't surprise me if we have enough cap space to sign another player for this season.

I think the wage year runs November to October so in theory we'd only need enough cap space for 4 months wages this season? Sign someone on 120k and we'd only need 40k for this season. Or I may have just made all that up.

we were willing to let tickle go for nothing at the end of next season,but the offer was to good to turn down,and hull believe they can use the fee to strengthen the squad better.

Agree about chase though

Agree about the fee for Tickle, but I guess players that are good, experienced, available and willing to join a club that is 'building', are not that thick on the ground. If he goes, 6 might mean 8 after all. With Watts and Pitts, that is a remarkable turnover.
Bateman is worth a fee, Whitehead if he became available for free would be okay but not worth splashing cash for IMO, in these circumstances.

I think that is right.

He's ooc next year anyway - £150k would be the proverbial no-brainer.

We had 60k to spend to start with.

Radford and Russell will have taken a bit of that though.

I'd snap there hands off if they offer us 150k for Tickle.

I think we might get Chase and for a bit less than that, bit of knob is Chase, but exactley what we need to kick on to the next level, would work great with Seymour IMO.

On the Cas forum (not rlfans) someone on there reckoon the deal is nearly done to join Hull.

Seem to be forgetting that if Tickle does go, we are short of a goal kicker, or at least one with a high conversion rate
