Hull City AFC have signed Burton Albion midfielder Jackson Irvine for an undisclosed fee. Irvine, a 24-year-old Australian international, has put pen to paper on a three-year deal which also includes the option of an additional year. Born in Melbourne, Irvine moved to the UK to join Celtic's youth set-up in 2010 and played for Ross County before joining Burton just over 12 months ago. Since then, he has scored 11 times in 49 appearances for the Brewers, including a fine strike against the Tigers at the KCOM Stadium earlier this month. Irvine is delighted to become the latest addition to Leonid Slutsky's squad in East Yorkshire, saying: "I couldn't be happier and I'm just excited to be starting the next chapter of my career. It has all happened relatively quickly, but once I found out about the interest from Hull City it was an easy decision even though leaving Burton was difficult in its own way. "I just can't wait to get started now."
Philip Buckingham @PJBuckingham Two down, two to go for Leonid Slutksy's target before tomorrow night. A forward and a defender #hcafc
Nice one. Hopefully some of those who think we are doing ok will realise we haven't signed all of those listed
Looks to be a good signing, we haven't really had an attacking midfielder that scores regularly, let's hope he can score a few like the one against us.
I hope we don't get Isaac Success, it's always been my opinion that any deal for him will involve Grosicki going the other way.
Which suggests it's tactical rather than laziness. As someone else said, you can rarely be excellent in attack and defence. Slutsky seems to be favouring attack which is a pleasant change from recent years.
Based on no info whatsoever, I'd have thought if we were getting Musa he'd already be here. It's not like Lester need an incoming to free him up.
Musa and the Chelsea defender will likely be the last two at this rate. Musa was always going to take a while to see who would pay most of his wage
If we're only getting two more and they're a forward and a defender, then it looks likely that Musa is the only one off that list that we'll get. I still think it likely that the other will be Tomori on loan from Chelsea.
Maybe they are just leaving it as long as they can, just in case someone comes in with a cash bid for him, and the loan to us is just Plan B.
I was thinking the opposite. Leicester would rather sell him and get money for him, but if nobody is interested they'll cut their losses and loan him to us to at least get rid of some of his wages. Hence leaving it til the last minute.
