Hull City have confirmed that Jimmy Bullard has completed his loan move to the Blues, as revealed by TWTD last night. Bullard was at Portman Road for talks yesterday and will be with Town until the end of the season.

The 32-year-old is training with the squad this morning and is likely to be paraded at a Portman Road press conference later today.

According to reports in East Yorkshire, Town will be paying only £10,000-a-week of the midfielder’s £45,000 weekly wage. Bullard will not be able to play in the game between the Blues and Hull on 19th February at Portman Road.

Bullard will become Paul Jewell’s first Blues signing, while the new Town boss’s first permanent addition to his squad is likely to be either Luton’s Andy Drury or Swindon’s Charlie Austin with TWTD understanding that the Blues have emerged as surprise late favourites for the 21-year-old’s signature.

Drury, 27, had been expected to sign earlier in the week but there is understood to be an issue regarding the payment of the £150,000 fee. Luton want the cash up front, while the Blues are believed to have offered it over three instalments of £50,000.

Coventry and Sheffield United have also been linked with the former Stevenage man.

moomoosereni added 12:31 - Jan 27 Great stuff, now get Austin in and I'll be all smiles this weekend! This is a good combination. One seasoned professional who's been in the england squad within the last two years, and a young goal hungry striker who will just be desperate to impress. COYB!

bluelady added 13:43 - Jan 27 all those that moaned about how high his wage would be...... i said earlier if Ipswich paid 20% of wage (how close was that!) we would do Hull a favour,they have a player than cannot afford to play due to contractual agreements and cannot sell as he hasnt been playing! we take him off their hands, pay them 10K a week to advertise him for the next 6 months ready for Hull to sell for a decent fee in the summer (assuming he stays fit) if he gets injured we send him back. Interesting he isnt happy putting in a tackle, all the more reason for keeping Norris?
