What looked like being a quiet day for City has become quite the opposite with several fringe players leaving the club, aiding Adam Pearson's quest to slash the club's wage bill. Peter Halmosi, Tony Warner and Daniel Cousin have all left the KC, either on loan or permanently. Having seen off Wolves's attempts to sign Stephen Hunt earlier in the day, Transfer Deadline Day looks like being a successful one for the Tigers. Hungarian flop Halmosi has left the club on loan to sign for unpronouncable Hungarian side Szombathelyi Haladas until the end of the season. We had high hopes for Hungarian Halmosi having (aliteration!) brought him to Hull from Plymouth in the close season of 2008, but he didn't show the sort of form that caught the eye whilst plying his trade in the green of Plymouth Argyle and nobody at the KC will really miss his presence on the bench. Another disappointing signing was Daniel Cousin who has, as reported earlier joined Greek club Larissa on loan until the end of the season, with a view to making the deal permanent should Cousin bother his arse to put some effort in. Warner, meanwhile, leaves the club having made only two first team appearances in 18 months. The Scouse shot stopper never really looked like replacing Bo Myhill as number 1 or Matt Duke as number 2 and so City were happy to cancel the rest of his deal.
Whilst we're talking about players who spent disappointing periods plying their trade in black and amber, Scottish flop Darryl Duffy has signed a three month loan deal at Carlisle United. Duffy, who is permanently contracted to Bristol Rovers, signed for City in January 2006 as Peter Taylor put together a Little and Large partnership of him and Jon Parkin, and later departed to Swansea City, after scoring just 3 times in 24 outings.
