Jimmy Bullard

They mainly want rid of him because he is on £40k - £50k per week. Hence Hull have been looking for any excuse to end that deal asap. I bet if he was on £15k p/w they would overlook whatever he did (within reason) and wouldn't be trying to cancel his contract.

 

In any case, where would he fit into the Saints squad? And at 32 years old with huge wage demands, he doesn't exactly fit the profile for Saints signings.

Exactly, however a perfect fit for the type of player who ends up at the other end of the M27.

Good player, but probable attitude-problems and his career seems to have been going backwards for a few years.

 

A Hull-supporting mate told me an interesting rumour about him; that when Hull originally wanted to sell or loan him off their books they were looking at shelving him to Celtic, who were sniffing around. The allegation is that Bullard was prepared to do it only if Hull continued to pay his wages (around £45K per week) and Celtic also chipped in £30K per week on top.

 

True or not, aside from that he seems a bit of a mercenary anyway and as I said, his career has been in decline since his Premier League days.

Regardless of the fact that he wouldn't get anywhere near our 1st team, he also has rubbish hair, is a cock who think he's funny, is on massive wages and too injury prone. Expect him at Pompey or Leicester soon.

No way! I like him as a play actually - well i did during the Wigan/Fulham Days.

 

I have it on v good authority though that he is a total and utter nutter. Doing all sorts of craziness in the dressing room and elsewhere, practical jokes and the like. Some players liked it and found him hilarious, others did not. There is also a significant reason that his contract was terminated. Nothing ground breaking but not the kind of behavior we want or need.

 

And he is past it now anyway.

God, I hope we don't go and sign him now - given the overwhelming vote of no confidence.

 

My opinion FWIW - if you move from an upwardly mobile Fulham FC to a faltering Hull City, no matter what you say, the main driving force has to have been money.

 

As somebody else said - avoid.
