Maybe Hughton is trying to put doubt in any potential bidders minds by a) keeping him out of the limelight so that people forget how good he is b) making them think he's injured/unfit or c) he obviously rubbish as he can't get into our team not even the bench.......
Not necessarily. Hughton didn't play Dunk in august last year once the fulham speculation came in and in fact he didn't really play until late september as Hughton doesn't seem to like to mess with a winning team much.
