Madeley reporting Brunty to Stoke deal is almost done...

Be a crying shame for it to happen like this without getting a chance to bid him farewell after all this time.

Think of poor Jacko at this time!!

About time what a great transfer window this will be if he goes.. 2 year to long

All the best Brunty, thanks for the service.

Deserves to go out playing.

Can understand him wanting to play football, really am gutted to see him go though been a superb player for the club, if he does move tonight I would hope he could be given the chance to say goodbye at tomorrow game itâ€™s the least he deserves.

Great player and bloke but frees up Â£Â£ for a reserve.

Iâ€™m sad about this, think we need his experience

I imagine theyâ€™d get Jacko to do his cap presentation at half time

Well and truly gutted if heâ€™s gone as the rumours suggest

End of the season yeah Iâ€™d get it but I donâ€™t right now

Still had something to offer for me

Nothing negative please if he is set to leave.

He may well have expended all of the remaining spells he had left in that left wand of his, but the man has been nothing short of an amazing servant to the club since he's been here.

He's a modern day legend for the years of service he's given to us.

Good luck Brunty! Wish you all the best!

Oh man, that made me chuckle! I'd like to have whip around to try and make this happen.

I've had a love-hate relationship with Brunt but it's been nothing but love for the last 3-4 years. I don't want him to go unless it's to make an imminent improvement today.

It's very, very sad and i hope we get a chance to say goodbye to him.

Best of luck Brunty.

Great player for us and great servant of the club. Never any scandal and even handled being pelted by our own fans with dignity. A real shame for him to go like this, even if itâ€™s 7 months too late.

I remember being delighted at signing both him and Morrison that August in 2007, both were up and coming relatively young players who were exactly who we should have been going for, Morrison being a relative coup as I was surprised boro let him go and Brunt being a stand out championship prospect. Nobody would have predicted how good theyâ€™d be for us and that theyâ€™d last 10 years.

I hope he and Morrison get the testimonial they deserve. Exactly the type of young midfielder we should be trying to sign now.

It won't look right Bruntie playing in other colours, especially if its Stokes.

Dexy · « **Reply #3615 on:** January 31, 2020, 07:32:47 PM »

Got more to offer than some of ours right now , I'd be keeping him.

OldburyWBA · « **Reply #3616 on:** January 31, 2020, 07:33:05 PM »

Be a shame if he does go, been a great servant for us but I guess he wants to play games and he knows O'Neill very well. Be interesting where he slots in though as he seemed to have played a number of games at left back for Northern Ireland before he retired from the international game.

I think the signing of Barry showed that he is down the line for the central role (not a centre midfielder !) and we can't play both as shown last season.

Lads, can we cut the personal stuff please, might be banter but can we leave it

jimmyj · « **Reply #3619 on:** January 31, 2020, 07:49:09 PM »

I do hope they go ahead with the previously suggested Morrison Vs Brunt testimonial in the summer. Give both a chance to say their goodbyes, and I'm almost positive the ground would sell out for such a game.

gavinrussell · « **Reply #3620 on:** January 31, 2020, 07:53:32 PM »

Just watched O'Neils interview on Sky before their match tonight..he wouldnt confirm or deny the Rumours..guess we will have to wait for Jim "I've only got a Yellow tie" White to announce it later if the deal does happen..

Years overdue and heâ€™s someone who made a lot of money at this football club for being a pretty average player. He was excellent under Mowbray but his so-called â€œwandâ€ of a left foot was very intermittent.

A modern legend he is not, but a great servant nonetheless.

The real sad thing is that he leaves for that horrible lot at Stoke. Would have liked to have seen him finish up at Sheffield Wed and go full circle.

MarkW · « **Reply #3622 on:** January 31, 2020, 07:59:09 PM »

If he goes it places a lot of responsibility on Townsend to play well until Gibbs is back.

saml30 · « **Reply #3623 on:** January 31, 2020, 08:01:57 PM »

No no no

One of the worst places for home to go, canâ€™t stand the stokies!

Thanks for everything Brunty

Wow would really be interested at what you think is a modern day legend. 300 odd appearances, fa cup semi, premier league and a championship win.
