Austin fails Hull medical

Cheeky knock down bid, anyone?

Can see hull going bk in for Gary hooper

Article says he's dislocated his shoulder three times since 2010, but Steve Bruce said: "I think he is surprised because he has not really missed any games over the last couple of years."

Has he been playing through his dislocated shoulders then? What a man!

Probably worth mentioning the shoulder is only the presumed reason that the medical was failed, it could of been something else.

If it was the shoulder, as has already been mentioned before, it didnt bother him last season. Likewise the premiership isn't as rough as the championship, he'll probably cope better there if its slightly dodgy.

He's only got one year left on his contract and he's refusing an extension - lets give it until Christmas and see if Hull will let him go cheap. It's either that or lose him on a free, afterall.
