You can tell us, we won’t say owt. I wish! A nine is the most important signing now, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you not think Paterson may be used in that role.? Because I think he will get the opportunity to do so, surprise us just how well he does in it in this division and stay there for most of the season.

legendaryswan Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 So in the three years since JH left we havent been able to discover a better RB. That really doesnt inspire me with confidence in our recruitment policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Maybe Darren Moore just watched Palmer play last year and decided we needed someone had actually breaks sweat every now and again. Palmer is a better LB than RB so for me no issues if he’s 2nd choice to Hunt and able to fight it out with Brown for LB too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The long extensions for Palmer, Wildsmith and Dawson were ridiculous at the time and very clearly ridiculous now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I have no problem with Hunt returning whatsoever. He will be a good L1 wingback. But it’s just a sideshow/ distraction. Where are the strikers!! No strikers = no goals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he can definitely do a job… Still think we need a proper goal scoring 9 though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunt definitely better going forward so should be decent as a wing back. Hunt never had the game to play attacking full back . Defensively he was suspect. A very whole hearted player he would try to get up and down but struggled to get back even when younger. I am glad to have him back as a reminder that we can get players from the championship and he reminds us of better days. But if DM is going to play with wing backs, it is a very demanding role and you need special qualities otherwise there is no wing attack and no defence either. Most defenders of limited ability find a 4 at the back easier to play in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most defenders of limited ability find a 4 at the back easier to play in. I was just reading an interview with a Bristol City journalist, and they rate wingback as Hunt's best position... Where did he play in the main? It was mostly right-back, though arguably his best spell came as Dean Holden played a three-at-the-back system last year, allowing Hunt to play right wing-back and slightly further forward. That system got more from him and accentuated his good attacking play. City also played their best football of the campaign during that period until injuries hit the club hard and the club's form disintegrated, with a change of manager then occurring, which ultimately saw Hunt out of favour.

Inspector Lestrade Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 15 hours ago, flash said: Glad Borner is on his way - especially if we get a fee! Be good to bring in another CB now as a direct replacement. Happy with Hunt joining if it happens. Good RB who you’d hope would be one of the best in L1 plus I think it’s slim pickings in terms of choices for us if we can’t pay fees/have a wage cap. Allows Palmer to be cover at both RB/LB. We all know we’re still at least a minimum of 5 short including a good GK and CF! Has to be focus but I fear we’re now waiting for Prem clubs to decide on who they will loan out. Can’t see Peacock-Farrell joining from Burnley. Might be bit of a wait…! Can't see us getting any Prem players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FoxOwl12 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Some of the comments make me shake my head. "we need a top class goalkeeper and striker". Oh really. And which such players are going to want to play in L1, even if we could afford them. Get real ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they mean top quality for league one. Because at the moment our keepers and strikers are nowhere near that. Hence the clamour for signings in those positions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting. Looks like he plays wing back further forward to be at his best , but for the system to work, the wing back has to be able to get back into defence. DM, like GM, likes the wing back system but you need three mobile central defenders , and very athletic guys with stamina to play the role. Personally, I think it’s a system for top teams and top players but we know DM is very driven by systems, as we unfortunately saw between March 1st and relegation day.

Shetland Owl Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Borner wanted to terminate his contract as Sheffield United failed to pay his wages for a few months and a move to Hannover has been in the pipeline for some time.
