    Hunter does have some interesting foibles to pass on from time to time but he also loves to pretend he knows more than he does.

    I suspect his cryptic comment falls into the latter category and actually he doesn't have a clue.

      On a similar vain from thefreekick.com (one of several comments saying much the same thing):-

      Really undermines the show (Newstalk) I think to have a bluffer like that on. I know he was able to get away with it a bit when he was just the Spanish based lad and he could recycle pieces from the Spanish papers but he started to get very ****ing annoying when he was passing off all these things as being based on conversations he was having with the Board of Real Madrid etc.

      Sid Lowe doesn't do any of that ****e - no pretence about being "in" with all these famous footballers, just a bit of analysis and cultural insight into the game there.

      And Hunter has gone ridiculous now by pretending to be mates with everyone at every club in every league in Europe.

        To be honest, I'm not too fussed about him not being called. He moans about it in the media all the time either, if I were the manager I'd find that unattractive. As long as it keeps him turning out quality performances for us, I don't care.

        Makes sense, why Newcastle brought in Xisco then. Enrique was lonely and wanted some Spanish loving.

        '
        He is naturally but he's played his first team football almost exclusively at left fullback, so I think we can assume he's made the transition successfully. He's quality, but I suppose looks like a winger playing at the back despite being quite solid defensively. He actually played as a central playmaker in Barca's youth teams which highlights his versatility. Jeez, I don't know where Barca find these players, and to think along with a long list they turned Alba and Victor Ruiz away.

            This refusal to call him up for Spain is utterly bizarre but I wont be complaining at his two week rest. He's brilliant.

              He's been quality. It's not hard to improve on baldy or insua but he's waltzed in and been immense from day one.

                The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

                  Fantastic signing. The complete full back. He's improved so much since he first played for Newcastle and still plenty more to come from him.

                    First player this season to skin him, Distin!

                    Still managed to put in a MOM performance.

                      2 games 2 assists and defensively spot on.

                      The best LB in the premier league right now.

                        Thank **** we now have a good LB.

                        He's brilliant. Like I said earlier; I still think there's more to come from him. But he's our signing of the summer so far.

                        Why does he roll his sleeves up like that though? Is it because of his massive guns?

                          Been massively impressed with him. Quality signing.

                            Same here. It's been a weak position for years bit it's not now.

                              Had a very good game but he can improve quite a bit and we still have not seen the best of him.

                              He can be so much better.

                                Which is something that I'm really looking forward to.
