looking at the names, you would have to say that all three are underwhelming. i think Elmohamady and Figueroa are good signings for Hull, while i wouldnt have minded Curtis Davies myself. and also if they can get danny graham back on form they have a good striker there.

So at the moment i would say Hull, but we are in for Capoue and Caulker, and if either of those come off, let alone both, it will most certainly be us.

Agree, I think that Figueroa, Harper, and Graham have been semi decent signings for Hull with them adding some Premier League experience. I believe Palace have not added greatly to the depth in their squad and City have strengthened. Would still like to see MM bring in a couple of players with some Premiership experience and know how. If a couple of potential signings come off then it could be a decent season. :ayatollah:

So far I am saying Hull because they have brought in more quality to add to the depth of their squad but I believe and hope that by the end of the window we will have done the best business in the transfer market.

City are the only Club to have made a quality signing in Cornelius. Can't see any of Hull's or Palace's signings doing anything specia;/

1) Business wise, it would be Hull obviously. Due to the experience added. Will they gel in the premiership? Later rather than sooner is my opinion.

2) Holloway is bringing in his usual cronies, so i'm predicting them to be have the highest goals conceded in the Prem.

3) We have the least experience for the Prem (imo) but no doubt Malky will have a few last minute surprises which will raise an eyebrow or 2 with the pundits. We will inevitably be the highest spenders come deadline day, but judging by our fickle minority, unless we beat Man city 6-0 they will want Malky's head! regardless :laughing6:
