For a start, Convey would have been playing most of 04/05 if it hadn't been for injuries (and taking time to settle). Hughes would have remained a useful player to have on the bench that season, probably more use than Oster, and possibly Hunt (more versatile).
It wasn't getting rid of him that was the 'good thing' - it was what we brought in as well.
But in 02/03, Hughes was the ticking heart of that side. Absolutely vital.
