The impression of you guys is that the Owls are deep financial poo and will need to sell players to try and balance the books. If you can add another £3m to the £17m you have you might have a chance signing Bannan but if you want Reach as well you might have to double that figure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. Reach and Bannan have two to three years left on their deals. Hunt had 12 months to run on his. Still - Bristol City are the Manchester City of the Championship now, so who knows. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt we will be splashing any cash, but you'd like to think we will have some sort of replacement lined up for Hunt.

Great thing is, all these clubs circling around those with FFP problems may well find themselves in a similar situation in a few years time. Do we then get to buy their players? Like a never-ending merry-go-round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The high press was very effective for us but we weren't able to maintain it over the entire season. But....back to Hunt, what the view on him?

WhiteOwl91 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Love how that website says Rhodes is for sale but not for loan despite the fact that FFP would hammer us with losses for selling him (as rest of fee we paid would be due on sale), hence why we're trying to loan him out!

Every now and then there'd be an attacking spark, a great cross or something, but not on a consistent basis. He's a decent player is Hunt, but does have some limitations.

Bluesteel Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 15 minutes ago, Alan Robinson said: Does he bomb forward? Johnson likes attacking full backs and so do the Ashton Gate faithful He came here after a series of loan spells elsewhere. He was a bit of a rough diamond in that every where he’d been (hudds, forest, Rotherham) he’d do these marauding runs up field taking players on (limited end product) but was perhaps a bit of a loose cannon positionally. Carvalhal seemed to want to make him a more disciplined player and reigned that in. He was still one of our main outlets but he really didn’t like players running with the ball so Hunt would need to operate in a more possession based game, picking the moment to make the runs. Sounds great in theory but I thought he looked much better as that slightly cocky unreserved player than the one we’ve had. Perhaps because his strength is dribbling rather than assists and actual defending. A lot of his tackles are last minute recovery and he isn’t as comfortable as more “boring” fullbacks when faced with direct wingers, he can get isolated by them and have been known to give him problems. Lee Johnson should just give him free reign to bomb on with the ball if he wants to see the best of him in my view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of the day hes had two goes in the playoffs too, so good experience for someone. Edited July 4, 2018 by Bluesteel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
