Bye Bye Bullard

"He's better than Steve Gerrard, He's thinner than Frank Lampard, Jim Bullard,Bullard"

Well Jimmy Bullard has chased the dollar and secured a big money move to of all places Hull!

Jimmy was a legend at Fulham, but the legend was built more by his cheeky chappy personality and the fact that he had 18 months out of a struggling side after scoring twice in his first 4 games for the club.

Fulham stood by him, financed his rehabilitation from a career threatening injury, and were repayed with less tham 40 appearances in a 3 year period.

His performances this season have been erratic to say the least, with losing possession probably the most common feature of his play.

To be fair, he has chipped in with some important goals, but his headless chicken routine has not gone down well with the tactically rigid Roy Hodgson.

I can't have a go at Jimmy, a 4 year contract at a reported £45k a week will set him up for life and help him to pay off the alleged 5 agents who have been hawking him around most of the 2nd rate teams in the Premier League.

Looking forward to March 4th when Hull visit Craven Cottage, my reaction to Bullard will depend on whether Hodgson can re-invest the money into a threadbare squad that is far from safe,
