Seagulls eye Mclean swoop | Latest Football Transfer News | Sky Sports
Sky Sports understands Brighton are eyeing a move for Hull City striker Aaron Mclean in this month's transfer window.
Seagulls boss Gus Poyet is looking to pep up his attacking options after struggling for goals this term and he has targeted a move for Mclean.
Poyet wants to reunite Mclean with Craig Mackail-Smith with the pair enjoying a prolific partnership together during their time at Peterborough.
Mclean, who joined Hull from Peterborough last January, has scored five goals in 19 appearances this term for the Tigers.
It remains to be seen if Hull would consider letting Mclean move on with newly-installed Tigers boss Nick Barmby keen to maintain his side's promotion push.
Already been said I know but interesting anyway...

points out that with Barmby now in charge he may not be available................ odds against in my view but would be a handy option especially if our injuries persist

Best mates with CMS so imagine he'd be up for coming down. Not sure Barmby will be prepared to let him go to us though.

Blimey - I'm really fed up with all these threads naming everyone under the sun coming to us, but two next to each other naming the same player ??

I'd be pretty happy if we signed him based almost entirely on how he played when Hull came to the Amex. He caused problems all game and absolutely hammered the ball off the crossbar a couple of times.

The deal would make sense. He and CMS would click instantly. I have heard its a done deal. Just personal terms to be decided
where did you hear its a done deal?
Yup, looked strong, good positionally, held up the ball well and had a couple of cracking shots.

Isn't Messi the same height as Vincelot? They're quite dissimilar players aren't they.

Hull City Forum - Brighton in for Mclean - City Independent
From what I've read (when we were linked with him recently) they don't particularly rate him as a goalscorer/finisher, but acknowledge he's a solid Championship striker, and would rather not lose him. I think he'd be a decent addition, but have no idea what fee they'd want.
Regarding his size, he's short but stocky. Bit like Jason Scotland, in that he's quite quick, strong and gives defenders a rough time. Would obviously help to get the best out of CMS, as mentioned.

My mates a posh season ticket hold - says he's not very good and he'd be disappointed if Peterborough got him back
Thanks for the link. I thought they would be quite keen to off load him. Definitely sounds like a CMS type player in that he hasn't scored much all season but works hard and endlessly harries defenders. As you say I have no idea what a reasonable figure for him would be. How long left on his contract?
