pukka Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Still worried that we wont score enough goals, but the signings so far have been positive. This one is a very good one. Ability, and youth on his side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markspark92 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Very good investment this by the club credit to Corney for putting his hand in his pocket to get Hunt we could sell for quite a healthy profit in future, was thought of highly at Brighton and looked the part in his 10 games here last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celliott83 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Great signing, Great show of intention and getting it done early! Massive contrast to last year which, in hindsight, was the biggest shit show in this clubs history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beag_teeets Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Left back has been a problem area for some time, I'd like to see another one come in who can perform there rather than some one just filling in, we've got cover in most other positions but Hunt should be a good first choice. Stott did ok there when he filled in and it made a difference having a physical player at left back so thinking about it he isn't a bad option there. Need to get Dummmminnghammnmnmnahmam back firing on the other side, he was well off the pace when he signed permanently and then injury stopped him getting his form back. And thinking more about the defence, we played a three at times last season and with Clarke, Gerrard, Edmondson, Wilson and Stott who could be part of a three we do have options across the back line. I still think we need: 2xKeeper 1xStriker 1xWinger 1xCM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably we were paying his wages last season, whilst he was here. Can see Hunt's transfer being one with clauses like buy-back, sell-on, games etc. Plus we get a rumoured 0.1% of Stephens (although that deal is with Charlton), so that could be factored in. We spent £100k on Holloway, £50k on Fane, it's not that unusual for Corney to spend some money on transfer fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 It will be handy not needing a goalkeeper to make 5 top saves each game, because we might not get away with it this season. We've got good options across defence now and lots of them young with a good chance of progressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtimeblue Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 On the face of it, this seems like a decent signing. There'll be a lot on here who saw more of us than I did last season but I can't remember many clamouring for his signing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see masses of us either - if I have seen him play he hasn't stuck in the memory, I'm afraid. Thought the "key" back four in the run-in was Wilson, Clarke, Stott/Gerrard, McLaughlin? Still, the signing is a good show of intent by Corney et al. Edited July 13, 2017 by JoeP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked very promising and looked ready for regular first team football. Hard to judge over 10 games though. I heard comparisons with Denis Irwin being made which, while very premature, were not without foundation. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lags Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Happy with the signing of Hunt. He will be a regular starter. Did enough for me in his 10 games and it's reported he was very eager to return, that's good enough for me. Give me 11 players that want to be here and I'll show you 11 players who'll give their all, week in week out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 So what's the guess on the fee? Interestingly it uses the words undisclosed terms, rather than fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
