Anybody else think he could be the creative player we need

Hull boss Phil Brown has reaffirmed the club's ambitious plans after revealing he has engaged in preliminary discussion with Jay-Jay Okocha, while at the same time expressing an interest in Wigan striker Caleb Folan.
Knee ligament damage suffered by Nick Barmby has increased the necessity to bring in a midfielder of an attacking bent, and it now looks as though Okocha could fit the bill.
Hull have made no secret of their desire to bring in a big name, having earlier in the summer failed in a bid to lure World Cup winner Juninho to the Championship.
Okocha enjoyed a hugely success spell in England with Bolton earlier in his career and is now available, as a free agent, having spent a year in Qatar.
Brown is refusing to get carried away though, as there is interest from several other English clubs in the Nigerian's services.
Tough competition
"I had a tentative chat with Jay-Jay just because he's available and is a free agent. He's had similar chats with five or six clubs in England who are interested in him," Brown, who knows Okocha from their time together at Bolton, informed the Hull Daily Mail.
"It's not a case of anything falling flat or not coming off. I'm just waiting on a phone call but I admit I'm not holding out any hope."
Wigan's Folan has struggled to break into Chris Hutchings' first team this season and while Brown admits holding an interest, he is of the belief that the player is not available for transfer at present.
"I've spoken to Chris Hutchings and he's aware of our interest. At the moment the player is not available. If he was I would be interested. Will he become available before Friday? You never know."
