Summer Transfer News - July 2008

OK, let me get this right.  This is Hull City, yes?  And there's this bloke called Geovanni Deiderson Mauricio Gomez, yes?  And he's a Brazilian international footballer that has played for Barcelona and Benfica, yes? And now he's signed a two year deal for the Tigers, yes?  Jesus.

In another "my goodness, is this the Tigers" moment, City sign French international right back Bernard Mendy from Paris St Germain.  Mendy had a loan spell at Bolton during the 2002-03 season under Phil Brown's assistant managership.
