.Hunt delivered a typical all-action - and goalscoring - performance as relegation rivals Hull and Wolves fought out a 2-2 Barclays Premier League draw on Saturday. McCarthy is a keen admirer of the 28-year-old and is thought to have had three bids to sign the Republic of Ireland international turned down this month. Hull last week confirmed they have rejected at least one offer of £4million but the cash-strapped club's resolve to keep him could be tested again before tomorrow's transfer deadline.
Yet while McCarthy was willing to sing the praises of the player - whose display was marred slightly by an aberration that led to Wolves' first equaliser - he would not be drawn on the continued conjecture. "He's a very good player but he is also a Hull player," said McCarthy. "I've watched him play for Ireland as well and have never seen him play any other way than he did. There's been a lot of speculation but I have never confirmed or denied anything."
