Regrettable certainly (YPotY 2010 and all that), but maybe for the best all round. I think he might do well for you, it was looking less and less likely that he would for us. He must know that if it goes wrong for him at Hull he'll start to be considered a big gamble, and if anything is going to focus his mind that should.

Often a player needs a change of scene to kick start his career.



Its not necessarily the fault of the player or his previous club that things weren't working out there.
