Bit of debate on here before about how tall he was. Some websites were saying 6ft 1.

 

On one the videos on the OS it shows you him being measured at 194cm (6ft 3).

Huddlestone is about 6ft 2,

Scenes when we start Morgan and Huth at Arsenal. 

Atm that's really not very likely.

Really good signing this, I've been very impressed with him. Good defender, but a threat in the other box too, still young as well. And he's a leader. Also, with what he said in the interview, it seems he wants to be here.

194 cm = 6 ft 4 actually... 

maybe he continued to grow after the first time he was measured for football manager/those sites.

Great news about a very good signing and getting really good vibes about the new season.

[Saxondale]

Absolutely cracking signing. Good player and fairly young too. 

 

Well chuffed.

[drofmor55]

Still young and will learn a lot playing alongside the likes of Morgan, Huth & Fuchs..

[smr]

Quality, looks a good signing!

[Mickyblueeyes]

Good signing.one more cb please

[EnglishOxide]

As decent as this signing looks do we have any idea on his leadership, positioning, organising?

 

We don't need a slightly better Benalouane or Amartey.

 

We need someone who can potentially take over from Huth and Wes in terms of organisation.

 

It's no secret that we've often looked more comfortable at the back with Huths presence, and then with Wes and Was who are/were probably slightly less commanding but also important.

 

Basically I'm wondering whether he is captain material?

[Spicer]

I'm a little cautious to heap praise on. He earned a fair few plaudits and was Hull's best player least season probably.

But they were still relegated, being the best player in a poor side doesn't mean you're good. I hope he puts my doubts to rest.

Looks like club are finally learning

first premier league regular we ve  signed since ????

good news

whose next ? Gibson ? Sigurdsson ? 

 

Well, with Klassen going to Everton, I can't see Sigurdsson going there as well which gives us a good chance of landing him with Everton out of the picture.

[Wizerud]

Fuchin stoked about this signing! With 'Arry and 'Uth at the back and the lad from Chester in a few years (hopefully) to eventually take Bob's spot we suddenly look a lot more solid at the back. In theory.

 

Oddly enough he looked like Hull's biggest goal threat when they played us at the KP. He's gonna get a few goals this year fo sho.

Great signing, and it's also very encouraging that we are looking to do business early this summer.

Was this done by someone who didn't like him very much?  Fair share of missed passes and fluffed clearances on with the good stuff 

 

a first - an honest YouTube reel !!!

[Thracian]

The Hull fans' reactions seem pretty praising (apologies if this has already been posted).

[foxy boxing]

it's what we needed a young talented defender that can challenge and learn from as well as play with Huth and Morgan. let's not heap pressure on him and let him develop naturally to be a part of the team for years to come!

[Lewis]

Excellent signing

How soon will be read the game as well as Huth and, to a certain extent, Fuchs? Huth, Morgan and Fuchs have served us well, and will still have something to offer in the coming season - not bad for a trio that cost a combined £3-4m, one fifth of Maguire's transfer fee. That said, Maguire is a good signing and will flourish alongside Huth in particular.

[mozartfox]

Reading the game is one thing,  but our back line had different scripts in most games.

[Kitchandro]

Has anybody asked why he had to wear the home shirt and hold a home shirt up at the same time?
