    Risking a #straightred from @ValleyGary here, but someone replied to my tweet below 'no, he trained today' :-)

    If Chris gets the number 9 shirt he will the phantom number 9,
    because we will play..... Eagles on the wing
  • Curbs always used to sign 'hungry' players that had a point to prove. Peter Garland aside he got it right ;-) The signings of Watt, Johnson and now Eagles fit this philosophy. We've given them another chance and they need to repay us.
  • Can't we pronounce his name Eag-Les instead :-)

    Oh Chris Eagles (Oh Chris Eagles)
    He plays midfield (He plays midfield)
    Oh Chris Eagles he plays midfield
    He's got a name like a Nigel
    Oh Chris Eagles he plays midfield

    To the tune of Andy Hunt

    Judging by the size of Garland he was always hungry.

    Good signing. Proven champ player.
    Gives us chance to experiment. Put him on wing, JBG behind one of our front man in a 4-5-1 away from home etc

    Exactly my point!

    Sorry, but that is worthy of a lot of flags!

    Glad we finally filled the 9 shirt. Didn't expect it to be an attacking mid but I like this signing. Perhaps still another to come

    Do you really want to break up Igor and Tony already, surely the more often they play together, the better they will become as a team, whether at home or away, we need to score goals.

    Not straight away but there will be times when one up front is better than two - assuming our rotten luck doesn't dictate seeing one or both on the sidelines, which seems really unlikely! Having someone who can fit in pretty much anywhere across the front four can only be a benefit as far as I'm concerned. That said, trying to get as much out of the Watt/Vetokele pairing as possible HAS to be plan A when possible.
  • Could be a good signing although he's had more comebacks than the Eagles

    Wigan and Udders at home play Igor and Tony,

    At Derby rest Those two if need be and play Aherne-Grant and Eagles.

    Not a fan of 4-5-1 only feel it works with top sides, Harry Kane can be a lone striker.
    At Derby would put up with it. not in the other 2 winnable games.

    Can't we pronounce his name Eag-Les instead :-)

    Well when he is injured we can refer to him as unlawful, instead of ill eagle?

    As always, I'll judge him on what he does here, but all transfer window I was asking for a creative midfielder who was over 26 and had good experience of the Championship. Eagles ticks all three boxes so I can hardly complain can I?

    Pleased to see us not resting on our Laurels after Saturday. Well done to the club and welcome Chris.

    I don't want to hear another squeak from Bubble :blush:

  • Woohoo. A British player who knows the championship and from outside the network.

    Welcome and Good luck Chris.

    That's what happens when fans get organised and express their grievances in a mature fashion :)

    Very tempted to flag this...

    EAGLES: "I just wanted to get it done. I’ve had a great feeling about being here, it’s a massive club."

    He knows he hasn't signed for Wednesday right?
  • Eagles and Gudmundsson on the wings with Watt and Vetokele up front could potentially be a deadly combination... Goal machines!!

    Obviously Bulot should keep his place for now though. Still very pleased with this signing.
  • From the video he reminds me of an JJ upgrade... Looking forward to see him in action at the Valley for sure in spite of his name!
