Quoted from arryarryarry


We are also talking about a dozen or more players being part of that bad run, do we get rid of them as well?


No, not at all - but pretty much all of them are our own players, not players we're talking about signing.

Anyway, as stated i do rate him and i'd be very happy if he signed again....just not sure if it's worth allegedly breaking the wage structure or whatever for a player that isn't ours as some are suggesting and was more just playing devils advocate against the quote from another poster below...he was here, and he hasn't been helping us to more wins of late.

Quoted Text
Some may say paying more than others are earning isn't right but I'm not sure as their thought could be yes he's good and if he helps us to more wins then we all gain through win bonuses.

Would be a great permanent signing in my opinion.


I agree but do you think we could either afford him or that he would come here on a permanent deal when he is more than capable of playing at a higher level?

Trying to permanently sign him seems a token gesture. Why would he come here when he's clearly good enough to play above and we're almost certainly going to be here next season. If we kept him on loan until his contract runs out and had a good run that he enjoyed playing in then maybe. But having lost so many, he'd be crazy to commit to 2-3 years of this.

Worth remembering that Hunt signed this contract in 2019 when Wednesday were still a relatively high-spending Championship club, and he’d already appeared in their first team. Good chance he might be on a fair whack.

No I think you’re right. Fully expect a L2 club to snap him up.

I suspect a contract to the end of the season is the best we could do if he was to re-sign for us (i.e. this would be his choice). If he's on 2 or 3 grand a week, which is quite feasible given he was at a good-sized Championship club when his contract was signed, I can understand why we might not want to take that amount on.

I'd be happy if he did sign, but he hasn't torn up any trees during our poor spell (not the only one), so I can see why we wouldn't want to break the bank for a short-term deal.

I agree that a League 2 club will probably sign him and he's certainly got the potential to develop into a good League 1 player in time. Not sure if he will quite make it any higher than that.

The club need to show some intent regarding signings . Been after this so called striker since the start of the season and still nothing. Fans patience will be wearing thin and that will be evident on the coming attendances.

We have crumbled from a great start to a team low on confidence and the season is becoming a dead squid.

All seems too relaxed from the manager and it’s reflecting on the players

We lack that quality to play that killer pass or create opportunities which other teams seem to have

If we can sneak into the playoffs I would certainly take that right now and then who knows in football but on the last 10 games I think we will finish mid table , is that acceptable only the chairman’s will dictate that decision

No need to be facetious, he clearly meant “damp squid”, a term with stems from the species’ strong dislike of becoming damp or even ever so slightly moist. They like to be dry or wet; no middle ground.

People should get to know their metaphors…

The saying is damp squib. Or are you being facetious with your reply too?
