Would he not have had a medical at each club as part of the process/talks?

I was thinking the same. who's to say he didn't have a medical down here on Sunday. It is widely reported that he will be meeting with both clubs before making a decision, maybe a medical is just part of this procedure.

or maybe I'm just being optimistic...

If you have a 2 year time frame that might be true. However, with his potential he needs first team matches to get the exposure to get first team premier league exposure. I'd say the Brighton route provides more long term potential (and hence money), unless he gets some guaranteed first team action for Hull. Unlikely....

Again money talks I'm afraid. He will see all his mates earning a wedge and want some of it. I would hope for him here and will be pleasantly surprised if he signs for us. Unfortunately the majority of youngsters want dosh in their pockets and who can blame them.

My point is that career earning would be higher if he started with Brighton rather than Hull, but he may not see past the immediate pay cheque

We may have a better stadium, better training ground and more fans but most footballers wouldn't look past Hull's Premier league status.

No way is he coming to us.

Thunder Bolt · Aug 27, 2014

I'd be extremely surprised if he came to us.

sparkie · Aug 27, 2014

I'd be very surprised as well.

Not that bothered, though, we'll pick up someone else decent instead next summer.

Looks like it's all over...

Didn't Grabban have a medical with us?

loco61 · Aug 27, 2014

Lenihan's defensive colleague Darren Dennehy has suggested that the Irish contingent at Hull, which includes Corkman David Meyler, could sway the 20-year-old in that direction."He will get a feel for places when he goes over and see where he feels more comfortable and make his decision," said Dennehy. "Hull have more Irish boys and that might favour him but I don't know.

I'm sure I read somewhere that he had a medical here on Sunday so wouldn't read anything in to Twitter rumours. He probably will still choose Hull but don't think we can assume based on Twitter.

Hull are pretty similar to us in History . Few stupid comments creeping in

Eeyore · Aug 27, 2014

It does appear that the chap who posted the Twitter entry was at the training ground. As the announcement is due today, it looks like he has chosen them. Still, we know the Albion are looking for players that are attracted by Premier League teams, so that shows 'ambition' me thinks.

Nice ground. The training facilities are being upgraded. You are right about their current status, but there would be many other factors. They are investing in training facilities, as it appears that they don't (or didn't) have category 1 or 2 status.

There average crowds are around 24,000.

But when I looked at The Irish Examiner it was quoting from the Hull Daily Mail...

El Turi · Aug 31, 2014

Move to Hull now confirmed so we'll have to look elsewhere for our future right back.

mona · Aug 31, 2014

Respect to Hull and Steve Bruce but Elmohammedy is one of their best players so this fella isn't going to get a game for a very long time. Oh well.

jamie the seagull · Aug 31, 2014

Confirmed by Player on his twitter....

"Delighted to have signed for [MENTION=27483]HULLCITY[/MENTION]. Couldn't be happier! Thanks to everyone at @CorkCityFC for all ye have done for me!"
