You mean like announcing on the news/Twitter/club website that a player is yours until the end of the season only for him to leave a week later?

I like Hobbs. Great under Pearson the first time, shit under Sven. Been good for Forest. Depends on the price basically but I think he'd be a good buy... need to sort out a feckin' keeper though!
It is very tongue in cheek...
and a bit of a pop at not only the local media but fans who know full well not to count chickens before they hatch.

haha Billy will certainly be edging closer to that exit door if this does happen.
I think Pearson genuinely rates him as this would be the 3rd time he has signed him and thinks he can make the step up to the Prem.
Wouldn't be disappointed if we did sign him as he was great for us first time round and one of my favourites of the league 1 season.

Tell me about it, and you have Hobbs until the end of the season, lucky buggers.

Fine, but a league one player is not good enough now that we're preparing for Champions League.

Hobbs would be a decent signing I reckon. A lot of experience for a man his age, captained sides in the past and still has his best years ahead of him.
Not sure he would be a first choice but as a player in the mix he's a massive upgrade on the likes of Whitbread and SSL.

Agreed....as far as I remember he was one of our best players ( player of the year & players´player of the year). I´m sure Pea´son knows how to bring out the best in him........probably why he followed him to Dull, same as Fryatt.

Very much this. The most important thing is getting the job done - and Hobbs is a perfectly adequate signing to do that. I don't fancy relying on Miquel, SSL and Whitbread if things went tits up.

Nothing wrong with Miquel, and if things went tits up we have the loan market to dip into right through 'til the middle of March
Better that than spunk a load of money on a player not deemed good enough for Hull

Same ability, if not better, than Was. Decent back-up as long as we can get him cheapish and as he is out of contract in the summer surely Dull will be looking at accepting lower offers.
Always liked Hobbs, a fantastic leader.
