Top target: Hull City are optimistic over securing DJ Campbell's signature.
The Tigers face competition from Championship rivals Crystal Palace and Watford, but Bruce is hopeful he can secure the 31-year-old's signature.
Sources yesterday told the Mail negotiations were "moving forward slowly" towards a pleasing conclusion.

Campbell is the Tigers' number one attacking target ahead of next Thursday's transfer deadline but speculation of an interest in Billy Sharp has little credence.
Southampton striker Sharp has no clause in his Nottingham Forest loan to terminate his spell at the City Ground this month and would be unable to sign for the Tigers this month having already played for two clubs this season.
City's interest in Egyptian striker Gedo would not have any bearing on the Tigers' attempts to recruit Campbell.

“Cockney Tiger
the reason we never made the old first division is thast we never had a decent goalkeeper.
We were also short of a fullback and good centre half.”

“I just watched some footage of Waggy, Chillo, Butler, Houghton etc on Not606 and almost felt transported back in time to those glory days! Although they never made it to the First Division they played some sublime and exciting football and seemed to score at will. We have an Ian Butler type in Brady but I'm afraid that Proschwitz and Simpson will never be in the same class as Chris Chilton, and there will never be another Waggy. Yes we can dream CockneyTiger!”

“Zaha going to United may be a double edged sword. DJ Campbell to Palace.”

“I just dream of adding Waggy Chillo and Butler to this team, well I can dream.
Never understood why they never made it to the old First Division. Obviously the management and short sighted owners.
Good luck to Bradford but remember they are not chasing promotion and the fact they have reached the final shows exactly what domestic Cup competitions are worth. Zilch. Not sure they will be allowed to play in Europe anyway and I am sure Capitol One are delighted. Not.”

“off topic but congrats to all the ex Tigers who helped League 2 Bradford overcome another bunch of Premier League prima donnas and get to Wembley, maybe cup competitions are worth making the effort in, one more win and it's European football for the Bantems !”

“I sit here reading the posts on a regular basis and am bemused at the comments some people are making! Also the standard of english is appalling! Mrreality it is surely not shorely! also Sbank it is "pot" calling kettle not pan! These are trivialities I know but what you morons have to remember is that SB has put us within touching distance of the promised land and if you support the beloved Tigers you would have taken where we are at the end of January with bells on before the season commenced. So smell the coffee and get behind the team. SB will bring in what is required and finish the job. There I have got that off my chest.
UTT ......Chillo and Waggy the best!”
