Oldham fans reckon Hunt is the one we're after.

Not allowed to say who but someone who I know from that way has told me he can't say too much about it but we'll find out soon enough and it's not looking likely. It definitely seems like it's this lad we're after. Also spoke to a few Oldham lads who said they're not fussed about him going if they get something for him, although they're a right set of boring twats so I'm also taking that bit with a pinch of salt.
Tom James of Yeovil is being mentioned.
This is what a fan I know has said about him.
Decent player, fantastic free-kick taker and our second top scorer this season. Not convinced he’s Championship quality, but he’s too good for our division.

with the new players coming in I would be interested to hear who people think will be dropped.
Where does potts fit in, where do the others fit in, where do they fit in when everyones fit? I’m not sure stockley makes the starting 11?

Get what you are saying and it will be interesting for sure.
remember though that AN prefers maguire out wide rather than up top so stockley has a big chance of being in the 11. Like the hugill situation last year, it simply pushed maguire out wide where his movement is very good. I’d imagine if all on form up tops the maguire and robbo would be the wide men with barks on the bench

Think if everyone's fit and not suspended I'd go
Rudd/New keeper
Clarke/ New RB
Hunts
Davies
Hughes
Pearson
Johnson
Robinson
Browne
Maguire
Stockley/Moult
Ledson and Barky/Potts will be in to cover for Pearson and Maguire's inevitable suspensions and injuries. We've also got to remember it's a squad game, injuries and suspensions happen and if we don't rotate more injuries happen, being able to provide horses for courses is also always good. We need 18-22 players good enough for the first 11 to sustain the quality needed to get up into the top half and beyond. A second XI of Rudd/Crowe, Fisher, Clarke, Storey, Earl, Ledson, Gallagher, Bodin, Potts, Barky, Stockley/Moult is beginning to look strong enough to provide that. Ginnely moves up the tier to Bodin's spot and Bodin to Robinson's once CR is sold in the summer.

Apparently It’s a full back Hunt we after from Oldham and not the young centre half

Get what you’re saying, just imagine the unlikely that we have a fully fit squad with all forward/wide players fit. I can’t see barky ahead of bodin/robbo/maguire. However he is vital to the way we play, especially away from home.
Robbo though can actually play the 10 role albeit he is far more effective fron the left flank

Barkhuizen’s always played regular even when the likes of Robinson and Maguire have been available. Like Browne he seems to be one of AN’s first names on the teamsheet. I think if Bodin were fit then we may have seen a bit more rotation, especially at home. We may see that now too with Potts joining, given that Barkhuizen’s basically been run into the ground for 18 months. Just disagree with him possibly being written off as back-up, he’ll always be vital under this manager.

Barkhuizen has changed from being a lethally effective attacker into a defensively solid player who shows occasional flashes of his former attacking self. I still think there is something not quite right about him even now though I can't quite pinpoint what it is. He is still useful and at times something more but the signing of Potts will hopefully give us the chance to rotate him a bit and may even act to make him find something more when he is on the pitch.

Barkhuizen has been one of our best players in recent months, I don't think there's anything up with him, he's just not able to be Gung Ho and bomb around the pitch when there is a centre back with no pace playing behind him. Equally with Fisher, who likes to push forward, Barkhuizen needs to drop in at times, I don't think he's lost anything.
I'd like to see him back on the left personally with Hughes or Earl behind him who need less protection.

I think the Barkhuizen of a couple of seasons back would have scored the chance he missed in the last match - his finishing is a bit more wayward than it used to be but it may yet all come back. Agree that he can play on the left - I have always thought he is more dangerous cutting in from that flank. But leaving aside Bodin and Robinson because of their injury situations then Barkhuizen, Maguire (who can be used wide as well as upfront), Barker, Potts and Ginelly should start to give us plenty of wide options the first three of them even maybe tomorrow.
