Hopefully he will stay on another season, then him, Pedersen and maybe Campo can all play against us next season.

To be honest, Hull will be wasting their money keeping him on. He's past it, even his last couple of seasons with us showed that.

Good player in his prime but he's fallen with age. Pedersen will probably play if he can keep himself fit and it will be good to see Campo return but I think he'll go back to Mallorca. I know where I'd rather go.

Former African player of the year Jay-Jay Okocha is leaving newly-promoted Hull City.

The 34-year-old Nigerian has been told by manager Phil Brown that he is no longer needed at the KC Stadium.

Okocha, who joined the Tigers in September 2007, was troubled by a string of injuries and made only 11 starts for the club.

The former Bolton player spent less than one year at the KC Stadium and could now decide to retire.

Always gonna be the likely decison i guess. Will most likely retire now and wont have to show himself up in the prem.

Has cart-horse (Pedersen) been injured for much of last season? didn't hear much of him and cant recall seeing him at Wembley....?

[DannyW]

not sure if it was an injury or he just never gained match fitness due too not actually being able to get in the team

[Manny]

I think the achilles problem he got when with us is still hanging around.

When he got into the side he got a few important goals for them but he continually struggled to keep fit.

He didn't play in the game at Wembley but he was there, I remember seeing him lifting the trophy.

Pedersen has gone aswell now so no reebok return for him either.

Meanwhile, former Danish international Henrik Pederson has left the club and returned to Denmark.

[Manny]

Not surprised he's gone to be honest.

He signed a two-year-deal with them last summer but it looks like that achilles injury he got playing for us is still haunting him.

A couple of years back in the Danish league and time to call it quits I think.
