Hobbs was signed on a season long loan. The only way he can be recalled, is if Hull have a "crisis" on their hands. Their defence would have to have contracted the ebola virus as such to qualify. In effect, he was/is free to sign for us at the season end.
This is Bruce, trying to force our hand into handing over money. To be in the clear, he'd have to have a nailed on reason, or Hull would be liable in court.
In anycase, why would you even want to recall a player, who doesn't want to be there?
Bollox story for me.
Sharp? No thanks. Him and Billy don't get on. Personnally, I want someone better.
