Ronio Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 It seems like we may see a fair few moved on this summer. Some of the higher earners will go for sure. I would have hoped we would have got a bit more for Hunt. 2.5 million or thereabouts would have been about right imo. Still, money needs to come in and that right side needed a bit of a shakeup, so I think its a positive move. On a final point, I think Hunt has done a pretty decent job for us over the last three seasons. His constant energy will be a big miss. I wish Jack all the best at his new club.

If we're selling a first XI player for a paltry £1.6m to a rival side...who the hell is next? if you sell Hunt with no decent cover, then westwoods gonna be a gonner for sure? Then who else?! Guess we've still got nearly 5 weeks left to buy players and until the end of August for loans and free agents so there's plenty of time for late business. Which is our speciality.

vulva Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 My money would be on some random fullback from a German or Dutch club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnsleyOwl96 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Quite sad if we are just selling first teamers and replacing them with loans or u23s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I’m okay with this. Not great at defending imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Hunt Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Get in , if this comes off I will be ecstatic . very average player . Replacements ? If we play the same formation Joey or kieron lee would be ideal .or Hutchinson to a lesser degree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shezzas left peg Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Well according to the feeds Jos has 8 of the under 23s training with the first team, so I trust he's going to try and ckear up some room to give them a chance. I'm hoping if whomever he's lined up to replace Jack if needed he'll be using forward planning by having a look now in early pre season now, so if he decides they're not quite ready, hell have someone lined up to being in on loan. Personally I like the idea of trying to bring some of the youngsters through. It's cheap and effective when it pays off and what's the point in having an academy and paying out for coaches if your not going to use the players that cone through?? Adding to that if other youngsters see our academy kids progressing to the first team it may help better ones to join us over other teams with good first team prospects on offer here.

WalthamOwl Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I just really hope we can reinvest every penny. Would have been nice to get more than 1.6 million though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But very hard working and decent dribbler. As I'm sure we all do. The question is whether we will actually get one. The worry is that we are planning to go with what we've got which simply won't be good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Dont get why everybody making a big deal out of it we selling a average injury prone right back .i dont mind hunt but he spends half the fame getting treatment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Let’s hope Jos has some good contacts in the game, got a feeling we are going to have to look at some bargain deals if indeed we bring anyone in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 confident he wont be the last to move on , it stands to reason that those in the last year of there contract need shifting out for the best price we can get for them . with the fee and what we save on his wages that's over 2 million quid shaved of our running costs . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if we bring in a first choice rb/rwb and have a youngster as backup that's one thing. If we throw a youngster in as first choice and expect them to perform at a top 6 level then that's quite another. We'll go nowhere fast if the plan is to replace first choice seasoned pros with inexperienced lads from the under 23s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Hunt will be earning big money. We signed him from a premier league club. Not a bad player but easily replaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Hunt's contract expires next summer. If Luhukay doesn't see him as the long-term answer for the right wingback role (assuming he sticks to the same system next season), then we may as well sell him now whilst he still has a reasonable value. He's been a solid player for us during his time here, but he's not irreplaceable. His pace is a great asset, but his final ball was quite hit and miss and he wasn't always the most solid defensively. The fee seems slightly on the lower side of what I'd expect, but it could turn out to be a decent deal for all concerned as long as we have a plan in place.
