Hunt is a tricky proposition, a man without a clear cut position. I think he has the raw tools to play as a central midfielder and Schaaf could play him there if we’re low on options. I’m not sold on him as a forward yet. All of this won’t make a difference though as he’ll undoubtedly feature on the left taking most of Boro’s minutes.

Daniel Jensen is a saint. He almost left to look for playing time elsewhere, but decided to extend his contract at Werder. With last season’s injury devastated roster, he filled in admirably at four different positions. I shudder to think where we would have finished in the table without the services of the Dane.

Undoubtedly, he is a major piece to the puzzle, if not the major piece. The drop off in skill from Diego to his replacements (Ozil, Jensen, Hunt) is significant.
