He's on a fortune anyway, think you're too sensible with wages to pay daft money like that. Hunt must be on a decent wedge? He joined you from the Premier League didn’t he?

Energetic, versatile players seems to be a theme with our signings. Not once in nearly 100 games for us has he played there. So genuinely have no idea. But I suspect that may be incorrect as I've only ever known him as a defender for all his clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT The Optimist Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Jack of all trades ,master of ??? Seems a decent signing. Thanks for honest assessment . We had a good right back till he suffered a bad injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 BTW looks like you are building a decent team with the money you've raised from key players leaving. Arguably we should have been doing the same for the last 2 years and maybe that's why we've stagnated. We could've offloaded Fernando and other key players at times for good money but our chairman won't sell a soul lightly. But I reckon in the Championship you've got to move with the times and refresh things. We'll see I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leagues such a lottery with so many variables that can click into place and before you know it you're having a great season or a disaster. Teams that look average on paper are suddenly in the top 6 and teams with superstars are suddenly in the bottom 6. Don't know why I bother predicting anything.

Somehow think LJ is starting to learn.. 1 hour ago, JonDolman said: Seem to be going for experience in this window. 5 signings if this happens, 4 experienced. Some that wanted that will still moan I bet! Glad we aren't messing around gambling on a foreigner in this problem position. 1 hour ago, Lew-T said: I’m just pleased to see we’re going for more proven players rather than expensive punts abroad. 1 hour ago, GrahamC said: So, signings from Norwich, Ipswich, Scunny, Derby & Sheffield Wednesday, with a goalkeeper undoubtedly to come. Huge change of policy, really like this lad, very good signing. 33 minutes ago, eric04 said: A definite policy shift. Buy players who have established themselves in English football, and in most cases in the Championship. All under 30. Yes, it looks like a different approach to recruitment. Surely at least some of this must be down to our achievements last season. Would this type of player have signed for us a year ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see Huddersfield being big payers, between 15k-20k would be about right. Any news on you selling Rhodes, Fletcher, Hooper and the proper big earners you have?

Who knows what will happen this time round, best of luck and hope you enjoy it apart from the 2 maybe/hopefully 4 games against us next season Those pigs did so well last season aye, but I hope they come crashing back down to earth. And yeah, I have exactly the same view on Cardiff in terms of where I thought they'd finish last season and where they did. Just shows you. I guess the manager was a huge catalyst for that. Easy to say it when we didn't achieve it but we'd have definitely been up there if we didn't have the injuries we had. Honestly the worst I've ever known at a single club. At one point we had 15 players out injured for weeks. Forestieri missed 40 games, Hooper, Westwood, Lees, Lee, Hutchinson, Fletcher, Hunt, Van Aken, Abdi and more all for either half a season or longer. We were down to academy players and 3rd choice keeper through a lot of January to March. Surprise surprise when the players started coming back we won 6 out of the last 8. A the time I was surprised most of the league didn't know about this casualty list but I guess that's probably because no one cares unless it's their own team.

Would like us to spend on one of the best in this league, someone proven and highly rated by everyone. To be fair, in previous years we've had marquee signings who have either come in and flopped (Marcus Stewart, David James), or come in with a load of lower quality players. If all we get in during this window is 5 or 6 average/established Championship players, then we've done a hell of a lot better than in previous seasons.

Yep Holloway signed him for Palace but Hunt never played in the premier league? Broke his leg in training a week after joining Palace I think, pretty unlucky that - he was out for four months then went to Barnsley on loan....
