    Default Michael Kightly signs on loan.

    http://www.watfordfc.com/page/NewsDe...478362,00.html

    "THE Hornets have today (Tuesday) captured the services of Wolverhampton Wanderers' forward or wide man Michael Kightly for a month.

    The former England Under-21 international arrives at Vicarage Road and will give further options to Watford boss Sean Dyche in attacking areas.

    Kightly has been regularly involved in Mick McCarthy's matchday squads this season, both starting and coming off the bench, after returning from a long-term injury towards the end of 2010-11.

    The versatile attacker made his mark in 2006-07 when he attracted the interest of Wolves. He initially joined on loan from then non-League high-flyers Grays Athletic in November and then signed permanently in January.

    Kightly's professional career started at Southend United where he made first-team appearances between 2003 and 2004 before moving on loan to Farnborough and then signing for Grays in 2005.

    After impressing at Grays and scoring 25 goals, he got the big break with a Molineux move.

    The 25-year-old went on to establish himself in McCarthy's team and he made 41 appearances - many of which alongside Chris Iwelumo - and scored eight goals in all competitions as Wolves won the Championship title in 2008-09.

    His game time in the Premier League was cut short by injury the following season and just when he was returning he suffered another set-back, although he returned towards the end of last season where he made four appearances.

    Kightly takes squad number 18, vacated by Andi Weimann when he returned from loan to Aston Villa."

    A great signing but I presume Mick McCarthy wants him to get back to full fitness along with some hard competitive game time, hence why it is only a month. I might be wrong though and hopefully it can be extended if he does well.

    Yeah!, but I expect it might be extended to cover until McGinn is ready to return, or Whichelow is ready to step up, or one of the other youngsters who are out on loan?

    Hi, wolves fan here. Think Mick will want you to try to extend it to Jan simply because out of all our positions on the pitch we have many competing for a place on the wing at the moment.

    As for the move, glad to see Kites going out on loan. Needs to get match fit but will be looking out how he gets on with you lot and hopefully will be in our starting 11 sooner or later.

    Good luck for the rest of the season.

    Good signing. Hope we get to see him on Saturday

    You can only sign month long loan deals in this window, they can be extended towards the end iirc.
    Some people assume I think the world revolves around me, which, of course is complete and total nonsense, the world revolves around the sun which shines out of my arse...

    A superb player and a great signing. A slight nagging concern that in a month’s time he will head back up the road and leave a gaping hole in our team like what happened with Adam Johnson. Hopefully if that does happen though then Whichelow will be ready to crack on and take the chance. In the meantime though he could be a great loan signing and will give a few others in the team a boost with a bit more attacking flair.

    Bloody good signing, very unexpected.

    It'll freshen the squad up and give us some pace going forward even if it is only for a month.

    Drop Forsyth (he may be a decent Championship player one day but needs a spell out of the team, shockingly bad at Saints) and stick Kightly on the left.

    Looking at the Palace game with far more optimism now....
