Stephen Quinn also a regular there.

Promotion for Hull is by no means guaranteed, they are only 2 point's clear of 3rd place.
I had a think about what odd the book makes would be fair odds and came up with 6/4.
I look at the odds on offer and they range from evens to 8/5, so I am at the higher end of that
range.
They are also second on current form a good 0.25 points per game ahead of the third placed team
Ipswich managed by our very own Mick McCarthy!! But Ipswich are 19th in the league with no hope of catching them.
Middlesbrough are the biggest danger both on current and overall form averaging 1.87 points per game against Hulls 2.25.
However the Championship can be very unpredictable a lot could change in the remaining games, they are only 3 games
past halfway.

I cant find any news on a transfer? Everything i read say they are just looking to extend his loan deal. Any links?

I don't get that. Surely if he's already on loan at Hull, fit, and training, and playing each week, what's the need for a medical?

Really though, it's a good move for him and for the Irish team. It's a pity he couldn't get a Premier team, but first team football will do him the world of good and hopefully Hull can be promoted.

Probably a legal / insurance requirement. If they just signed him and he didn't have a medical, then suffered a serious injury, I doubt an insurance company would pay out as the club wouldn't have been able to prove it wasn't a pre-existing injury due to the lack of a medical examination prior to purchasing the player.

**Charlie Darwin** · 07/01/2013, 8:58 PM

Yeah, they'd need a medical to get insured. Plus it's common sense - if he turns out to have a heart condition or something, they can cancel the transfer.

In the grand scheme of things, it's a solid move for Brady. In spite of the talent he possesses, such a high amount of players fail to make the grade at Manchester United and examples of this can be found in a huge amount of sides in League One and League Two.

Signing for a strong Championship side who are willing to pay quite a hefty fee for a 20 year-old with only Championship experience bodes well for Brady's future. The investment shows how valuable Hull believe Brady can be.

It's disappointing that he didn't make it at Manchester United, as it would have been nice to see an Irish player at one of the top sides again. But given the attacking quality in the current squad at Old Trafford, the breakthrough didn't look immediate or very likely. This is only a stepping stone for Brady.

**Colbert Report** · 08/01/2013, 3:00 AM

I remember hearing an interview with Kevin Kilbane, who had been training with Brady at Hull, about a year ago. He sang his praises to high heaven and said that he was an unbelieveable player and going to be a serious player for club and country.

**theworm2345** · 11/01/2013, 7:23 PM

Hull on live tomorrow, looking forward to it

**nigel-harps1954** · 12/01/2013, 5:51 PM

Booked as Hull are one down at home to Sheff Wed.

**tricky_colour** · 12/01/2013, 6:33 PM

Hmmm not the result I expected. A bad one for Hull really against a team
just outside the the relegation zone (think they were in it pre match?) but Shef Wed have been on a good run
recently 13 points from the last 18.

**OwlsFan** · 13/01/2013, 9:58 AM

Disappointed from an Irish point of view in the performances of Meyler and Brady. The latter showed neat touches every now and again but gave the ball away too often and his corners weren't up to the usual standard. Meyler never imposed himself on the game against a physical but otherwise very average Wednesday side.

**BonnieShels** · 05/02/2013, 7:10 AM

Brady says he left Man Utd to ensure he kept himself in the frame for Ireland.

Was he let go or did he ask to be let go?
That article suggests both scenarios.

**BonnieShels** · 05/02/2013, 8:29 AM

I took it just he asked to go and that Ferguson's regret should stem from Ferguson allowing him to go.

**geysir** · 05/02/2013, 9:44 AM

Perhaps, but then there is this Q
Asked if he was determined to prove Alex Ferguson wrong for letting him go, he said: "He's got a lot to think about. He's got so many players to accommodate and make sure he gets the best out of his players.

I took it from that question what I stated it above. I'd say it was 50-50.

He's better off at Hull and hopefully a bigger club next year.

By all accounts, Ferguson tried to talk him into staying but he wasn't so bothered that he would block the transfer. That's generally how Ferguson operates and he's rarely made a mistake.
