Lee was not a "settle for" or leftover.  He was part of plan A.

Hurns was a goner from the start, unless he was going to take a pay cut.

Not my opinion, it's what the club and others have reported.

It's crazy how much people undervalue Lee. I guess that's the internet age though. Weak minds see an opinion from some figure head and then they all parrot it enough until somehow that becomes the label, even though it's inaccurate. 

Lee has had a few bad drops but the whole drop rate is overblown. 

Anyone who truly thinks hurns brings more to the table than Lee needs to just stop talking about football.

I'm not saying Lee isn't more valuable than Hurns.

I am saying if they were able to strike deals with Hurns and Robinson the money they would be willing/able to offer Lee could have changed significantly. They may have wanted him, but Lee may have felt he could get more on the open market and the jags may have been forced to let him test the market if he wanted to. With Hurns and Robinson off the table, this gave them the ammo and the urgency to make sure Lee never made it to the open market.
