The new boys have certainly been busy last few days - Henrik Pederson has left the club with one year on his contract, due to family matters. He'll return to Denmark and play for his local side, Silkeborg or something.
Aside from that, have they pulled off the first real "newby" coup of the transfer window? Geovanni snapped up on a free, after being released by Citeh after just a year, and now they're tidying up contracts with George Boateng, from Boro it seems.
Usually we see new teams coming in, spend a couple of hundred thousand on some promising talent from the champs, then batten down the hatches and brace themselves for the onslaught, fingers crossed they can come out next summer, having survived the winter. Hull don't appear to have any intention of hiding away and hoping they can weather the storm though.
So, I have Hull down as a sneaky, cheeky surprise package if they carry on like this - these signings aren't superstars or anything, granted, but one promising talent for nothing, one experienced and solid player for what can't be more than a couple of mil. Good business.
