[Friday's Legacy]

Huddersfield have enquired about Dorian Dervite - former Spurs CB and now Villarreal B. I can't see us letting them have Morrison if what's being said about their chairman messing us about us true.

Good...being a total awkward arse can work both ways

[pea]

Not sure we really want to lose Morrison, so makes sense that we wouldn't sell him to them unless we got something more than money we don't need out of it

[Royal Ginger]

i guess this means that we dont need to sell morrison!!!! disappointing about rhodes though, fair play to him. we will probably loan out morrison for the season anyway, more than likely to ht. since were probably going to be playing a 4-5-1 we HAVE to sign a creative midfielder. we possibly dont need another striker but we have to have some creativity in the midfield now. also sign 3 new defenders and we will be a solid squad.

I think we do need a another striker .... below Pog and Roberts we have strikers who are unknowns at this level and that's not being disrespectful.....if they don't fire in anyway,it's a long time until January ...don't want to be thinking back " if only we had bought another striker in the summer"...also not sure Roberts is up for a whole season as a first choice striker ...all IMO

I don't get this logic. 2 are proved. We're not going to play more than 2. Odds are that one of Hunt, Church, Lefondre, Sheppard, HRK, McCleary or Manset will manage the step up. I'd rather not sign another striker and ruin the team harmony.

[Ian Royal]

Wonder how Rhodes feels about the whole situation. Surely now would be the best time for him to move on. If Huddersfield endure a season of struggle and he himself struggles to get chances, you would imagine his value and list of potential suitors would greatly diminish.

If he does well, he gets a big move. If they do badly and so does he, he gets a slightly less big move. If they do well and he does badly, he'll probably still get a decent move or get another season to prove himself.

He can't lose IMO.

I personally think that you need four decent strikers in the premiership ...allows for injuries, suspensions and loss of form....as I said the jury is out, but for the premiership Im not sure we have 4 good enough for league....hope I'm wrong but just my opinion ....

I've got faith. I think Hunt's going to surprise us and bring something from no-where.

[Cypry]

I tend to agree, he played a bigger role last year than his scoring record might suggest - reckon he'll be third in line this year behind Pog and Roberts, with ALF #4 and Church as #5.

McD says another 2 or 3 to come in - most likely a RB, CB and attacking midfielder...

Fair enough RG ..I'm hoping he will.

[Ups and Downs]

He'll give everything I'm sure, but I don't think it will be enough to regularly threaten most Premiership defenders.

Somewhat like Doyle then? Won't be the one scoring goals I feel, but could be the one running the lines and dragging players out of position.

[Ups and Downs]

No, not like Doyle at all. It was a polite way of saying that I don't think Hunt is good enough for the Premiership.

[TheLawnMowerMan]

They had a good team in 1926... Unlike Reading............... Who have a good team NOW!!

1926/27 - FA Cup semi-finalists.
Reading FC.
Not too shabby in my book.

[Norfolk Royal]

The team as it stands now is likely to be bottom six, of course we need to bring in more quality.

I think he's going to be exactly what he's always been. A passable second striker - a limited trier with a cracking cross, a decent scoring rate for his ability and a dodgy fitness record.

[stickywhisky]

It's all good and well talking about him in our team etc, but is he actually going to sign?? Some thought the same about Gylfi....

I've read the most recent stuff on this thread as talking about NHunt.

Correct, this discussion has moved on to the ability of current strikers to step up, assuming we don't sign any more strikers.

[Extended-Phenotype]

I think ALF is the one to watch. Hunt is in the bowl, and we've seen it all. ALF is just peeping out the hole - we have no idea how big he is or what size of a splash he'll make when he hits the water.

Cape Town Royal dofs his cap in total respect to that fine Reading team of the mid 20's - apologises to the HNA members and re-posts accordingly: -

They (HTFC) had a good team in 1926 (As did we)..... Unlike today, where as whilst those 'whippet chasing loom weavers' are totally shite, WE on the other hand have the POG!!
