He's not good enough Nigel
I'm just taking a moment away from discussing personal terms with Skonto Riga to say that there's speculation again linking Hunt with Blackpool this deadline day.
Good move if it goes ahead.
Deadline day isn't an issue for Hunt - he's a free agent.
Looks like he'll move to Derby. A very good move if it happens, both for him and the club I would think. The last sentence doesn't make much sense though as Johnny Russell is very much a striker I would have thought.
Derby County now front runners to sign Stephen Hunt
O'Brien, Keogh, Hendrick and Sammon already there also... quite likely there will be 5 Irish in their starting line-up when O'Brien & Hendrick get fit... both have a couple of months to go though I think.
Sounds like a good move for all involved.
Would be teaming up with a few Irish there, Sammon Henderson etc...
Derby would be good. So considering he moves and gets back playing, at 32, what do ye think of him converting into a left back a la Kilbane at this stage? Really not blessed in that area of the field as Wilson seems destined to move in centre half/midfield IMO
Hunt now looks set to train with Ipswich but apparently they can't afford him.
I came across this as well. It's from ages ago so apologies if ye've seen it already or if it was posted here.
Stephen Hunt appeared on Sky’s Soccer AM this morning and revealed all about his Irish team-mates.
The wild haired wing wizard took time out from prepping for last night’s 4-0 annihilation of Estonia to tell them the secrets ofTrap’s squad, and we now know a little too much about some of our heroes.
Best trainer: Paul McShane according to Hunt, calling him “intense” but he does also say he might just stand out because of his hair.
Worst trainer: Keiren Westwood gets this honour from Hunt, saying he just moans all day. As would we if we had to run around, or stand around, in Malahide in November.
Best mate: The Waterford man picks out roommate Andy Keogh.
Joker: McShane gets this one too, and he is apparently quite a mover on the dance floor.
Most skillful: Aiden McGeady gets the nod here. It was never going to be Darren O’Dea now was it.
Most intelligent: Hunt went for his Wolves team-mate Kevin Doyle as he is “always reading the business papers and checking the FTSE”. Shay Given gets some love for his common sense but it seems Kevin Doyle is the brains of the Irish outfit.
Most vain: Interesting stuff here as Hunt refers to the “LV Group”, a bunch of players who went to Las Vegas last year and came back with some bad tattoos. Hunt names just two though, Keogh and Liam Lawrence.
Future manager: John O’Shea is the man most likely to patrol the sidelines when he retires it seems, while Hunt volunteered himself to be his assistant. We can see O’Shea barking out orders. A future Manchester United manager maybe?
Worst dress sense: Hunt picks out Shay Given for a baseball hat he wears which the Donegal man thinks makes him invisible.
Longest in the shower: Stephen Hunt tells us that Liam Lawrence “loves himself” and therefore is the longest in the shower. Make of that what you will.
Anything on Hunt?
About to sign with Ipswich according to various sources. Good to see him back playing, it looked for a while as if it was all over for him!

Insightful and interesting article about Stephen. It would have been funny to see him turn up looking for a 5 a side game in Rosslare!
