Stephen Hunt

Shame Reading wouldn't drop their price when Everton were in for him in January, think there or Sunderland would have been a better move for him, I expect Hull to struggle this year, any other year they'd have gone down with 35 points. Funny enough, had he spat the dummy back in Jan (like the Reading fans seem to think he has now) he may well have got that move.

Still, hope he does well.

I dunno. It's still a step up from Reading.. I wouldn't be surprised if Hull get pipped at the last minute like they did last week with Beye. That said I think the club that's signs him is going to be one of the 6 or 7 expected to be down that end of the table anyway. I never read too much into the Villa Everton links.

I suppose if he has a good season for Hull there will be other takers if Hull go down

I think that's a good point too. There is something to be said about playing in the Premier League from an exposure point of view.

If he was hardly getting on TV with the likes of Reading, he could be forgotten...but with his style of play on display each week in the Premier League, everybody knows who Stephen Hunt is.

Especially if he clatters Peter Cech again this Saturday against Chelsea

Has S.Hunt officially signed with Hull yet? They did think they had Campbell and Beye. It will be a long hard season for Hull I feel.

**tommy_c12000** · 12/08/2009, 12:50 PM

Any figures being bandied about?! Cant find any mention of a sum

**The Legend** · 13/08/2009, 4:51 PM

Signed... undisclosed but suppose to be around 3m

**seahawk** · 13/08/2009, 11:42 PM

Hunt! Hunt!
Wherever you may be.
We don't care if you dropped your knee.
It could have been Cech or Cudicini.
Next time you'll bring a 3rd goalie!

Sad to see Stephen go, he was a good servant to the club and despite his inconsistencies always gave his best. I for one will miss him.

GOAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hunt scored today, still lost though but it was Chelseaa.
Stephen Ireland also scored today, just a tap-in

, though I have not seen Hunts yet though.

Irelands was a bit more than a tap in, he kept very very cool when other players wouldnt have

Just watching match of the day, you gotta admire this lads work rate, chasing back lost causes etc. Think he'll do well at Hull, if they stay up im not so sure.

The guy that came on and replaced Folan changed the game, Folan might not be a first team starter much longer.

Great work to set up the goal against Wolves.
Best winger in the Premiershihp since Ronaldo left.

around about 30 seconds in:-

Yeah, and preposterous that he gets boo'ed by all English fans now, everywhere he goes.

Does he?

I know Chelsea fans boo him (understandably) but I wasn't aware any other fans do.

**elroy** · 31/08/2009, 10:14 AM

Very impressive start to the season, does he deserve to be first choice left winger against Cyprus???

**as_i_say** · 31/08/2009, 10:16 AM

yeah he gets booed everywhere now it seems! Doubt he gives 2 sh1ts

Why does hunt see himself as one of the main spokesmen for the team and has to come out and state the plainly obvious before every game, "we need to win to keep pressure on Italy"......Obviously we do.

Footballer in spouting cliche shocker!

Would you be posting this if there wasn't seemingly bad blood between Hunt and S. Ireland?
