Not got a prolific goalscoring record for a striker though, has he?

He has played most of his career as a left winger CW.

Not seen his scoring record but he will come in for Taylor on Left Wing.

Taylor releaged to bench as chief cover for CM, LW and LB.

Kightly gonna be miffed, pushed further out.

Looks like a fairy doesnt he, but certainly more beef in those arms in the photo there than Eagles ever had (who crazily people compare the two - I think its purely cause of the girly hair and being a winger?).

Plus Bruce being quoted as in one game he covered 15km which is huge, think Becks i the famous Greece game only totalled 12/13km.

If he can graft and fight as well and having the fancy flicks and gaiy hair then he will do me.

It sounds like we had little choice but to sign Kightly. Quite happy with Boyd though, a bit of creativity that's sorely missing in the squad.

Sorry thought he was a forward

Latest name linked.

Remember when he gozzed in Joe Hart's face?

Is he the Chris Eagles lookalike?

Yeah that's the one, gifted player, but I think he might be one of them that can't be arsed every now and again.

We crying out for creativity though.

Ah yes, we were linked years ago, too. Primarily a left-winger, but can play both sides. Very Sean Dyche.

Right at this moment, if he can't play centre-mid or centre-half I'm not interested.

Mail are reporting £3 million!

I agree BC, if we are going to break the bank it should be for a progressive centre half first and a creative goal scoring midfielder second.My instinct says that we will pay the price should the right opportunities present themselves.

Looked a decent player when I've seen him, maybe Dyche is thinking either he can play centre or perhaps Arfield can?

Assuming of course we are actually in for him

looks like there might be something in this, not in hull team today and apparently in burnley for talks.

Chris Boden says the sane, looks very likely.

Steve Bruce confirms he is joining us.

What a queer signing.

You'll love him MH, proper mans man.

If actually be happy with this one - he's definitely a quality step up IMO

eagles look a like with abit more graft, we need some quality on the left hand side. Still short in midfield and defence though.

Will SeanD make him get a hair cut...

Happy so far - Chelsea, tough first game, mistakes made .... Swansea were lucky and a well deserved draw with united.

if true, and we sign Boyd - nice.


and if long hair was good enough for the vikings .......

Some corkers there!

No problem with us signing him, as long as there's still some dry powder left for the vastly more important centre-half and centre-mid we need.

Is he better than Eagles would be under SD's influence? Eagles of course is available for nowt....come to think of it if we are looking for back up and squad players there is also Mears....

I really enjoyed that last goal against the team in the Blue and Whites Halves.

I am with BC. As long as SD thinks that he has potential, we hold our nerve and do not break the bank, I am good with it.

So he's signed, three-year deal believed to equal the £3 million we payed for Fletcher.

huggles will be happy, messes up his fascination with having a small squad up, unless Wallace is potted of course !

He is a striker isn't he? and if he is I have to say that his strike rate doen't look that good 2 in 30 appearances for Hull last season?

Hopefully 5 times what Eagles is/was.

Fine by me this one.

Whats this banter?

Surprised you didn't hear about this one MH

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/george-boyd-joe-hart-spit-3246155

I imagine some of Joe's head and shoulders got in his mouth and he was just trying to clear it out

Sorry thought I read he was a forward.

OOOh the dirty begger.

I know CW - a few places saying striker but he's definitely a wide man

Thanks for that L1882, perhaps he needs to go on a diet?

I couldn't comment - those that live in glass houses and all that :-)

Did Eagles ever get a club after leaving Bolton?

No. But he's shite.

Decent signing for me. Much needed creativity from the flank.

Deffo Fred, and also always looks willing to work.

I concur with Dibbers and Longsiders.

Could make the difference this lad, I was thinking he might be a bit flash like Eagles, but apparently he grafts as well. Taylor wasn't looking anything special and Kightly looks like £1.5m flushed down the loo, so come on George it's down to you mate.

Definite starter. @#$%& knows what's happening with Kightly.

Well we only signed Kightly because we HAD TO it seems.

At the last minute Stoke bent over backwards to let Kights come to us for a Season, when they had like £500K+ better offers elsewhere in wages contribution (late offers).

We simply couldnt up it but the player wanted to come here on loan, so I imagine (as a board member publicly stated that Stoke 'bent over backwards for us on that deal), a deal was struck without us increasing our offer but with a firm commitment that we sign the players for £x on the unlikely event of promotion.

He got us over the line so ive no complaints and he even said the day went up he would be signing for us.

I imagine the delay in announcing it was down to personal terms.

He did look awfully chubby-faced in pre Season photos and even in marketing photos with the new black strip (recent) - maybe he has turned up unfit and theres nothing we can do but leave him out until fit?

Has he kicked a ball at all (inc pre-Season)?

Yes, I've seen a few minutes of him MH but not much, can't remember when or where though.

Still a decent squad member (Kightly).

Same, BC.
