Goodbye Dave, Hello Noel
By: Prederick | July 28th, 2008Questions for the new season? Is Marek Matejovsky going to be as good for us as it seems he could be? Will missing George Bikey to the Olympics hurt? Is there any real reason to go on a pre-season tour to Sweden?
Well, I can’t answer all those questions, although I could try (Yes, no, not really but why not), but that’s not what’s important. What is important, is consolidation. So, first, we say goodbye and good luck to Dave Kitson, who joined Stoke City for a healthy (£5.5million) fee. The ginger behemoth will probably score 10 next year, although i’ll bet he’ll end up getting relegated again. With all do respect to Stoke supporters, i’m not saying you’re the new Derby County, but I have a hard time imagining you staying up.
Filling in for Kevin will be Noel Hunt, previously playing for Dundee United. For those of you not in the know, Dundee finished 5th in the SPL last year, losing the Scottish League Cup Final to Rangers (a game in which Hunt scored). Do I think he’s good enough? For the Championship, I do think so.
Does signing one Hunt mean another will be leaving? I don’t know, but Sunderland has expressed serious interest in Stephen Hunt, and I do imagine that he may depart before the season begins on the 10th against Nottingham Forest. I hope Mr. Coppell will be able to hold to his word and force any clubs that come in with a bid after the season starts to pay a king’s ransom.
In the meantime, here’s some pictures of the boys enjoying their trip to Sweden.
Oh Sweden, don’t you ever change.
