Ian Royal One of our best players of the last few years when in form.
BUT too much of an ego and not enough brains. A player who whilst trying to prove himself was so determined and confident in his play that everything came off for him. He tried pretty much anything and that frightens defenders, but he was never as skillful as he thought.
Once that determination and desire to prove himself lapsed post Xmas in both the last two seasons he lost his edge and stopped getting the rub of the green. Without that extra quality he put in hardworking but mediocre at best performances.
A player who truely did play above himself with us.
Good luck at Hull Hunty, you'll need it. But boy am I pleased you're finally off and for at least £1m more than I expected by the sounds of it.
Yes, agreed, although (and I guess I'm in the minority here), £3m for someone who has has proven himself in the premiership seems pretty fair to me. As mentioned earlier in the thread - for 18 months or so he was electric. The big question for Phil Brown is whether Hunt will ever be able to capture that form again. But a huge sigh of relief all round if and when he finally goes, especially if it means we can now get another forward (or two) in.
It's horrific.
