The worry is that we are planning to go with what we've got which simply won't be good enough. Course we will. Might be a prem loan but we definitely will... Unless Joss really rates Baker... but no we will defo get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrs Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Bit disappointed if I'm honest. a) Although he has his detractors overall he's surely one of our better players b) He's the only good Championship quality full back in the squad (in my opinion) c) In a time of vastly inflated transfer fees we're somehow managing to sell him for less than we paid - typical Wednesday. Of course, we'll only know if this is a good move when we see who we replace him with. If Palmer & Baker are our only right-backs then it doesn't bode well. If however we get in a bargain / loan and use some of the money to buy Venancio then overall I'd say it's decent business. Must have been brewing for a few days cos on reflection he was the only member of the first team squad (except Winnall) that wasn't at Hillsborough on Sunday.

MysticOwl Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) I suspect Westwood will be next if this is the case. We have plenty of cover for Westwood. Is Westwood fit enough for a transfer or still in recovery? Edited July 4, 2018 by CF83OWL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Solid player for us but I never felt he was as effective going forward as he seemed to be at previous clubs. I wonder if this is the start of a mini squad shake up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnsleyOwl96 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 If we get Byram then that’s an upgrade imo, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ka58 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Glad. He’s not great. We need freshening up anyway and it’s decent money and a chunk off the wage bill for someone who could leave for nothing next year. of the players I’m worried about leaving hes way down the list.

sonofbert2 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 He's been a good player for us overall during his time here but he's not the best at defending and although he gets forward and into decent positions, very often the end product is awful. He's also a bit soft and gets injured a lot. Need somebody a bit less fragile and stronger in that position and hopefully one of the youngsters will come in and do the job. Deserves a massive thank you and a standing ovation and our best wishes as he goes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he has taken hunts place Hunt then becomes dispensable. FFS. He might have proved himself to Jos. He will have full knowledge of his abilities, but I guess we will replace Hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls-swfc Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I wonder if JH will keep his affinity with Huddersfield Town on social media if he goes from us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oz_owl Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Reasonable fee for a player who almost certainly wouldn't have got a new deal at the end of the season, plus the club probably saves another £1m in wages. Clears the way for Baker to stake a claim to that position following his very promising introduction, hopefully he's part of the new wave of youth players who can step up to the first team. And the money and space on the wage bill likely means we can bring in Venancio plus a loan player. We were told we needed to be creative in the market, and this is the type of move we should have expected. I doubt it's going to be the last as we try to rebuild the squad.

bradowl Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Only just noticed that Hunt only made 20 appearances last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingleyOwl Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 He’s a very good left back. It would be a very negative move to let him go. He’s one of our only pacey players. I can’t see us replacing him with better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've been wondering about that as well, what does everyone else think? Will JH still keep his affinity with Huddersfield? I feel we should be told.

Bark1062 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 No big loss him going poor defender, only thing he’s got is pace with no end product. Would have been looking for better in that position anyway, don’t see this as a fire sale, more a chance to make changes which are needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TouchIsGolden Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Grass is not always greener. Would be wary we could replace hunt with better for that money. Good championship full back, been a good servant to the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsheri Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Very rarely has an end product Nesh Injury prone Can't cut crosses out He's quick and he linked up well with Wallace in CC's first season. £1.6m for an average championship defender in his last year...Great deal for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
