Mclean Second Signing
Friday, 4th Jan 2013 12:56

Town have confirmed that Hull City striker Aaron Mclean has also joined the Blues on loan until the end of the season.

Town boss Mick McCarthy has long been a fan of 29-year-old Mclean and tried to sign him from Peterborough when he was boss at Wolves.

Mclean, who had been set to join Millwall as recently as yesterday before the Blues matched the terms offered by the Lions, hasn't featured for the Tigers since the start of December and has scored three times this season. He is contracted until the summer of 2014.

The Hammersmith-born striker started his career with Leyton Orient, before dropping into non-league with Aldershot and then Grays, with whom he made his name. He joined Peterborough in 2006 and moved on to Hull in January 2011.

The signings of Mclean, who will wear the number 25 shirt while with the Blues, and McGoldrick would appear to suggest that DJ Campbell, whose loan spell from QPR ended earlier in the week, won't be returning to the club.

Town are yet to receive confirmation that the new signings are available for tomorrow's FA Cup tie at Aston Villa.

Now that really is a case of not letting the grass grow under your feet. I also refer to my previous post.

What on earth is going on? Identifying targets, keeping them secret and then just signing them up! I miss the agonising drawn out transfer window chases that inevitably fall through.

Yeah I think this is the end for Scotland (but I hope that DJ is not necessarily ruled out for a return just yet...).

Well done to Evans for backing a manager who is achieving, and well done to Clegg for getting the deals done so quickly.

Delighted with these two signings, we've finally got some options up front. Think we may have to move Scotland on. Will be interesting to see if Chopra stays.

Really pleased to see deals sorted out so soon in the transfer window, much much better. Maybe Clegg/Evans are better for their experiences with Jewell before, well played to them!

Wonder if this signing is with a view to a permanent move like McGoldricks?

Maybe all this extra competition will get Chopra fired up and scoring again, either way it's great for the team as whole.

McLean is interesting.

Would have been over the moon a couple of seasons ago but the fact he has done nothing for Hull tells me something.

Hopefully it's just a case of getting some games and fitting into our style of play. Let's hope so because this could be very exciting for us. Another David Johnson type of effect would be most welcome!

great work town. Raises the question was clegg to blame for lack of signings or was paul jewell like a woman on a hand bag shop umming and ahhhring and not making up her mind so clegg like any other man walks out the shop ;-)

Reckon Scotland will go and chopra (unless he puts in a shift tomorrow) wll be offloaded and we will splash the cash on dj. Heres hoping.

Career not been on fire lately but worth a punt and hopefully Mick and Terry Connor can get the best out of him. Does this double swoop meand no further interest in DJ Campbell - this would not surpise me as I'm sure DJ's package will not come cheap. Coluld it also be the end of the road for dear old Jason Scotland and the hapless Chopra ?
