Hunt

Quoted from FPVmariner

I have no idea what Hunt earns at Wednesday but no doubt it will be way above league 2 average.  There lies the dilemma for young players at big clubs, sit it out and earn big money, or drop down to get some game time and build but on reduced earnings.  It’s not an easy decision.

Correct. At the school I teach at one of the lads left us (5 years ago) for a youth contract at Wednesday. His first pro contract was £1400 per week. He’s no longer there but if that’s the starting point for Hunt, plus a couple of years then there is a balance between salary and playing and we will offer less salary I’d have thought. It depends what he really wants but as others have pointed out it’s not quite working for him at Wednesday so taking a cut to play and get yourself in the shop window is probably better long term but whether he feels that way we can’t know.

From what I’ve been told, Ben Grist is on quite a bit more than that already. It’s a real problem created by the excessive money at the top levels.

Humberside have just said that Town are in for him but Wednesday don't want to sell him permanently and that is what Town want.
Hunt's agent is the Hull summariser Swanny's son, so you'd imagine they'd have a bit of inside info

According to Hurst we've been in for Hunt all summer, doesn't really understand Moore's comments because it's in Wednesday's hands not ours. We're only interested in a permanent deal, not interested in a loan, Moore happy for him to leave, Hunt wants to come here, it's being held up higher up at Wednesday but not really sure on what basis. Like someone else said Peter Swann's son is his agent and Matt Dean said he thinks it will happen so they obviously know something and it probably will.

Hunt would go in for Green in my opinion, granted a different kind of player completely but I'd drop Hollohan a little deeper and give Hunt the free reign. Not writing Green off by any means but on current form that's what I'd do.

I hope we get him, just the kind of creativity we need, good on the ball, good first touch, can switch and spread the play which is something we’re missing and in dead ball situations a threat.

With him and Glennon in the side, we'd have some real threat from set pieces.

Pretty sure when the loan extension was discussed £5k p.w. was the wage mentioned

Absolutely mental. Five grand a week even though he can't get in the side at his third division parent club.

No slight on him mind, I'd have him back here but still, five grand a week to play in the fourth tier. Game's gone.

Mullen  is allegedly on similar in the 5th tier...

That wouldn’t surprise me.
