I remember him featuring regularly on MOTD when he was whipping pin point crosses in from the right wing for Sunderland...sounds like he's had a fall from grace at Hull though. We haven't had anyone that can cross a ball from the right for years (special thanks to Hutton), so if the rumoured release fee is £1m then it's not exactly a big gamble for someone who could provide some decent service into the box for a change.
Boring, lazy, uninspiring football management. Like his footballing 'style'.Bruce is fecking predictable , if nothing else.

For me, as I've said before, if we sold Bacuna, Richards and Hutton I could let it go but signing him with all the right sided players we have when we already have a squad that's too big is fucking stupid.
Don't panic.

So, Bruce is an idiot for signing a player he's had at two previous clubs, both of which he got promoted, who he obviously knows and trusts.WHo knows what will happen to the players we currently have? We've possibly got a number of them lined up to go and instead of selling them first and people complaining that we're left with unsuitable cover, we're preparing and getting someone in.As for up front, currently we have Kodjia, Hogan, McCormack and the kids and Agbonlahor. The first three, if they are committed, training well and performing to their potential should be more than enough to lead the line with support from Grelaish, Adomah, the kids, etc.Don't panic.
For £1m I think it's potentially a good dealIt does leave us a little heavy on that side of the pitch though!
