When he was here last time everyone slated him When he left everyone was mocking how bad he was at his new club So how is he now a no brainer?? He was good when he was here last time. Not perfect but loads better than Palmer. As for him getting slated - that's meaningless because unfortunately that's what football fans do. Apart from Kieran Lee. I don't think he ever got slated 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to be realistic, whilst Darren is signing young talent to develop, it has to be balanced with some experience. I don't think anyone thinks Hunt will be a outstanding but more of a steadying influence and we need to consolidate this season. Let's face it, we're hardly an attractive option in the market we can deal in, so I'll go with whatever Darren decides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcmigo Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I see a fair bit of Lg 1 football and full backs dont need to be especially quick. Old Lewington is still chugging away at full back for MK dons at 37 yrs old and looks comfortable. Hunt will be OK for a season. My bigger concern would be signing Westwood up again which is so inevitable we might as well just get it done now and announce it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trawled back thorough and it wasn't actually you who first mentioned Wickham and only commented on my post. As I said earlier, crossed wires. This heat wave is playing tricks with my old head.

Blatter Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Not sure it’s sensible to have two 30 year olds competing at right back. I always remember how Daniel Pudil suddenly found the full back position increasingly difficult when he turned 30. Not much to choose between Hunt and Palmer either. One better attacking the other better defending but surely we need to be looking at a younger player to understudy Palmer and develop. If correct this seems to go against the policy of signing energetic young players with something to prove. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 What a tidy bit of business if this happens. Still only 30, fit as a flea, terrific injury record (played 43 games last season - that’s roughly 40 more than most players we chase). He was a decent top 6 RB in his pomp, and a decent mid-table RB last season. He can also play the ball out with comfort which seems to suit Moore’s reputation. Palmer LB? Palmer RCB? Or leaving? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we're in a different class of football now and maybe the ones wanting him back are not the ones who slated him previously. Football fans are fickle creatures, you know that more than anyone. I guess time will tell if it happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashley8 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 He was crap but got better then we slid him. We are in league 1 and can't pay out anything so why not.... as long as not on silly wages or we should go with youth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Who else from that team is still available? Westwood obvs. Lees hasn't found a club. I presume Loovens, Pudil and Wallace have all retired. Alex Lopez is at Racing Ferrol. No idea who they are. Where is that ******** faced little Argentinian ******** these days? Could we get him to turn up?
