No surprise I guess given he didn't pull up any trees while out on loan. A shame as he's obviously very talented just hasn't got the right mindset it looks like. Still 20 years old, so enough time for him to make a good career for himself.

A complete waste of talent such a shame could be a great player if he wanted to be, such a pity

Such a waste of talent. Did **** all whilst out on loan. It comes as no surprise to me.

He's had 2 appearances with us since 2014 and they were only from the bench. The E&S say he made 6 appearances for Stevenage (1 goal) so there isn't anything at all for any Wolves fan to go on to judge his ability. I trust the club's judgement.

@OfficialWolves A pity. Looked lively on the few occasions Jackett had the guts to play him last season.

I hadn't seen the reports of a poor attitude. Don't need that around our more promising academy graduates getting in their ear. Off you go then

Another "one for the future " whose time has gone. Promises promises ........this weekend there are over 300 established Championship players on the pitch , bench or in the sick bay tomorrow - how many made their way through Morgans and Thelwell's fabulous academy ? Promises promises ....

You don't really have to be on the payroll of MI6 to work out that after leaving Chelsea for an alleged attitude problem , and leaving us to play at Stevenage he ain't no pot of gold that wasn't given a fair chance. There are so many scouts about and clubs willing to look for potential that he would have been sold if he was of any use .

I don't get this... the club takes a punt on a player it doesn't work out, through no fault of the club, we've got some good young players coming through and people are moaning.

Pity I was only thinking with John going that if Lambert could get Hunte's head in the right place he could be good cover for our wingers. Chance gone now.

There is no way we will be able to strengthen the squad without getting rid of players we no longer need.
As Rhos rightly posted Connor looks to be the 5th one on his way out.

I think to count the five, we should only be looking at those players who have been working with the first team squad since PL arrived. IMV we should not include Hunte, Henry or EEL as they have been out on loan.
John is the only 'real' departure to date.....

Not surprised. When I went to Preston away I got speaking to some Stevenage fans on their way to Accrington, anyway I asked about Hunte. They said he had the talent but his attitude was appauling. Can't say I'm shocked, good riddance kid. Enjoy the non league.

plenty of wide players coming through better than Hunte, shame as I thought the attitude stuff was all behind him, maybe those cameos gave him an inflated opinion of himself?

There is a difference between bad attitude and being uninterested. All players just dont have what it takes to be a pro footballer as they are just not interested enough. He might want to do other things. Not long ago we had Johnny Gorman who had more focus on his education than his football career and only trained some odd days a week. Last week I read about a player in an another big sport who was one of the top 50 in the world, and he decided to quit at 27. His story was "I have always hated it. I just happened to be good and the years just went by, but the only thing I was thinking about during games was how much I wanted them to end so I could leave the field and do things I like". Some just dont like it.. Hunte was maybe one of those.. or his attitude was bad. Would be interesting to hear from an ITK what really happened.

I thought our academy was supposed to identify and bring along some of the best young players. Not take a punt on a flawed player and hope he reforms. It was our fault as it appears he was flawed before he arrived.

Surely that's part of the process? Whereby we also need to identify players with exceptional talent that have failed elsewhere and believe we have the facilities/ coaching team in place to succeed where others have failed?!

Sometimes you need a sacrificial lamb.
This may send a stark message to other players who's application is wavering somewhat.

Yes I understand that and you get some hits and misses. We seem to have very few proven hits and many misses - stretching back from Ryan Green to Ismail to Eusebio and now Connor Hunte .

A hit to me is someone who has produced at least a year of good Championship football. I cant think of many.

As I said there will be over 300 guys playing in the Championship this weekend, how many decent ones have we produced in the last 10 years.

I feel the whole academy thing has still to prove itself beyond a Morgan building exercise.

And Morgan's academy will take time. Let's say the players who will benefit most from the new facilities will have been in there since the age of 7/8... those players won't break on to the scene for another 2/3 years.

We can beat Morgan with many sticks, the academy is not one.
