Reports in Ireland suggest Stephen Hunt of Reading will be Moyes' 4th signing. What do you guys think of him? And does he play a holding role in the middle??

Good player
He’s awful. A headless idiot. Please no.
Where are these reports?
Where are these reports?
Tonight's 'Evening Herald' (it's the Main Dublin Newspaper) is running a story on the back page titled 'Hunt Going to Everton'.
Can't say I trust it ....
Sky reporting Obinna deal agreed!
Awful, just awful. Here is a little vignette of Everton v other clubs re;ambition, wealth etc. We sign a right back rejected by Colchester Utd. Man City sign the Argentinian right back who has just won a gold medal. Aston Villa and Man City spend roughly £10 mill each on wide players. We go for this long haired larrikin. If the money is there, go to Sporting and pay 20 big ones for Moutinho and make us proud...just for once.
It beggars belief to me at times the ignorance of some supporters.
Is Stephen Hunt a holding midfielder?, FFS surely your having a joke.
We sign Castillo and that does not give you any clue that he might not be.
I dont know what football you watch but it cant be the same as me.
He would add no value to Everton whatsoever by the way.

Nil Status Nisi Optimum! Can we please just buy someone A- I?ve heard of, B- is fit and C- is any bloody good!
Guys, Hunt is a decent player. Agreed He?s not Ronaldo, but he industrious and would, as Brian says, be a good impact player. No, I wouldn?t pay £10m for him (not that I?m suggesting we have) but if we got him for a good price then he?s a great signing. Let's face it, coming from Reading he can?t have massive wage expectations.
Good squad addition.

Ian,
Think they’ve just rehashed the story... we’re waiting on work permit, but that should be a formality after his role in the Olympics apparently.

Guys,
Hunt is actually a decent player with a super attitude and would not slot in very well. Could also be picked up for a reasonable price.
A note of caution though, if the Irish Evening Herald is being quoted as a source then be sceptical. T?is a rag.

Still not sorted the midfield. Hunt is a nuisance, not a bad player but methinks he will have the same qualities as Simon Davies, we couldn?t win a game with him. As usual too we get the poor end of the Uefa Cup draw but it will at least give the Everton administration an excuse for an early exit while we battle for Premier League survival. Where is the ambition?
@ Gareth Hughes, did the signings of Cahill, Lescott, Arteta etc.. make you proud at the time? I doubt it! Hunt is a decent player, did well in the Premier League and was Reading's best player last season. Also, Obinna is supposed to be a potential world class player in the making, can play on either flank or striker and is fast as fuck! We aint even got Hunt yet, and it might be bollocks like most stories.
Decent player. Seems like a bit of twat though. Not sure what I?d back that up with it just comes across in his attitude. I?m pretty sure that when we were linked with him before the headline was something along the lines of ?lairy 70s throwback...?!
I?ve been asking for a left sided player, he?s not quite what I had in mind though.

Stephen Runt.
Hunt doesn’t have a super attitude - he is a petulant little twit. Rember Czech Rep away Alan?
He is like Ray Houghton with curly hair, no guile and no eye for a pass. Seriously - he makes Jason Koumas look world class.

Hunt.... NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!
We now have four signings that haven?t set the world alight, please don?t make it a fifth.
A wee row starting bollix who contributes nothing only aggression that is derived from ??wee man syndrome??.
We need Moutinho, he would even make Tony Marsh happy.

He needs a fucking haircut.
Described as a twit twice in a minute!...in fainess I was going to stay away from slagging the clothes but since it was brought up...
Have you lot ever seen him in that stupid cap? the only things that he is missing are a piece of straw to hang out of this mouth and a pig for under his arm...
He’s a national embarassment FFS!.

Just read, and I know its been changed a few times, that Moutinho was spotted at Finch Farm. Well thats what Wiki says. It said on his page yesterday that a 20 million euro deal was agreed but that part is now gone and now says he is at Everton. Probably the biggest joke ever but can only hope its true.
I swear, I wouldn’t have him on a free. There is something about his attitude that I don’t think would suit Everton.
Hunt is a good little impact player.
He’s the type of player that every other team hates but loved by his own. I remember he came on a few years ago for Reading against Everton and scored the winner for them.
He’ll be a good squad player if true, the strength in depth that we need. But not the world beater we have been waiting for.

The sad thing is, Hunt would be our best signing of the summer.

Jao Moutinho to sign over weekend, gospel! The future's bright the future's blue!!!
Richie where your info from mate.
Or you winding us up lIke every other fooker regarding Moutinho!

DM Just confirmed we are getting Obinna from inter milan on a year long loan see link http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/moyes-confirms-obinna-interest.html
You heard it hear first. haha
You heard it hear first. haha
Depends how much TBH. Hot head which could go both ways, his agression may compliment Arteta?s skill.Wouldn?t pay more than about £3-4 million quid for him myself.
I'm quite pleased with Saha.If he stays fit and plays upfront alongside Yak I think they?ll probably end up scoring at least 30 goals between them and if Vaughan and Victor can chip in with 10 or so goals between them and with Cahill scoring 10 a season (again IF he stays fit) we should do well again next year.
If we do sign Obinna on a loan I think he should gain some very good experiance. Another type of player who will feed the Yak and Saha with some quality crosses. Should fit in well with Yobo, Victor and Yak.
COYB

I get a bit lost with the attitude that we need to ’splash the cash’ to make us ’feel proud’.
We entered a football league competition, not a ’who can spend the most’ competition.
If we can break the Sky3 and the RS without spending shitloads of cash that would actually make me feel a lot happier than doing an Abramovich.
That said, if my Euromillions come in Davey can have half.

Its okay everyone DM has confirmed our midfield maestro on the OS
"Lars nearly came here a year or two ago and now we have brought him in," said Moyes. "With Tony Hibbert injured this frees up Phil Neville to play in midfield."

On the OS, Dave says with regards to more signings " there is still a little bit of cash left to spend" ????????????????????????????
WE HAVENT SPENT ANY YET THOUGH ???

Nick McCay, just read that Moyes article and like you I?m wondering why he has said "there is a little bit of cash left"??? Unless he doesn?t want to give too much away that we?ve actually got about £20 mil?
Wishful thinkinhg on my part.

David Torley can we break into the Sky three without spending a fucking bean?
Would be good for the squad. He’d provide a left footed option in midfield, which would be nice in tight games when we need to stretch the opposition a bit better than we currently do.
The only thing is that Steve Coppell is reluctant to sell any of his players at this late stage, and who can blame him?
While we are on the topic of Steven Hunt, I wouldn’t mind us looking at Kevin Doyle. Though I wouldn’t pay more than about 5 or 6 mil, cos even tough he had a good first season in the Prem, he was fairly average ast year. But he’s certainly got ability.

A big YES for Stephen Bon Scott jnr!! He’s a slash n burn player, and we need one. He’ll be totally welcomed by me, at the very least!
He’s a decent player, scores his fair share of goals and makes a few too. I know he’s a left winger but he reminds me a bit of tim cahill. Although there is something about his attitude that don’t seem right, just the way he acts on the pitch, seems very arrogant not sure really it’s just an impression i get of him.
Steven Hunt = Good Player.
Admittedly he does look like a pikey but Big Nev looked like a binman..

He’d bust his onions for us, and feed the Yak quite well. He ain’t no beauty queen, but he always plays his guts out.
Deffo a good signing if we are indeed after him...

Hunt would be a good signing, another of those players whose contribution is often underrated. Certainly can’t question his effort is also capable of grabbing a goal or two would be a good signing in my book. I really couldn’t give a toss what he looks like or whether he gets up people’s noses. Cahill’s pretty good at that, superb at winding up the opposition - works a treat.
His name makes good rhyming slang
If we sign him and no big name signings such as M’bia or Moutinho I know the club has come as far as it can go. He simly can’t take us to the next level. Please Please Please pull something out of the bag Mr Moyes
Stephen Hunt ? ..his parrots a c*nt , and thats his best featrure .Viz comic characters aside this clown make s Robbie Savage look like A Colin Harvey. Please God NO !
EFC needs some proper Irish up em, and he’ll do just fine and silence doubters within 15 minutes of his getting on the pitch. Watch this space. He’d be good; hope it’s true...
Stephen Hunt is a better version then Kevin Kilbane
Terry Hurlock mkII.
A little terrier, but not Top 4 material.

And where exactly would he park his caravan full of snotty nosed kidsand his tarmac laying flatback truck?
He’ll take us to the next level..................Down.
Hunt is a good player, loads of energy to bomb up the wing and a good cross, thats all you want from a winger.
Stephen Hunt is something of a god. Especially in and around the Mersey area.
No Jay, with respect, you and the other knockers of Stephen Hunt are wrong. This bloke is full of 90+ mins energy and doesn’t say die. I saw a number of full Reading matches on Sky last season and every time I thought ’this fella would go well with us’. With him and Tim Cahill in the side we wouldn’t be disappointed.
