Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

He would give us a range of passing we don't have, but he was pretty poor last few months of the season for Hull.

Huddlestone being linked in the mirror. It is a pretty easy filler story, but one that I would not be shocked by.

Hes a good player but needs to shift the odd four stone

Certainly an interesting one. I've seen him play well consistently for spells but also look like his feet are on the wrong way. The Villa-Hull home game he was dreadful.

I can understand the weight issues, hull has the very finest fish and chip shop - bob carvers

I remember a piece on Match of the Day during that period pointing out his poor efforts to work back.  Saying that, I think he would be an upgrade on Westwood and Sanchez, and should he arrive I'd expect the latter could be sold.

Huddlestone no thanks even if he was free.

He doesn't score a lot and his assist numbers are poor. For £5.5m as well you're having a laugh.

Huddlestone's performance this season at Villa Park was quite possibly the worst I've seen from any midfield player & that's saying something after a whole season of watching Mark Kinsella.

Hull paid £5.5m for him, he has 12 months left on his contract & they've been relegated. I think they'll be lucky to get half that.

[Toronto Villa]

Just so easy for the media to simply link every player Sherwood ever worked with at Spurs that might be available for transfer to a move to Villa.

[mrastonvilla]

Lazy ex-Spurs sherwood link hopefully. Would rather have mulumbu on a free.

[villadelph]

Really don't know how I feel about the Huddlestone link.. although Toon negotiating Bas Dost for 9m seems like decent business for a proven 26 year old.

Tim's going to replace Benteke with Drogba :|

Benteke is going nowhere judging from his performance last night.

I spoke of drogba before and great to see others see him as a class talent still Have you considered  Benteke performance may be affected with his imminent decision on if he's staying or going. I hardly think people scout him on yesterday match alone!! Clubs do there work on players and he wont be judged just on that one match .


Now on to Sherwood forest new look team

Get willy caballero on loan from man city in GK as he doesn't get game time.
Glenn Johnson,
Evans
Clark
Richards
Nzonzi or Cambiasso or Huddleston
Delph
Osman/Nolan/Cabaye/ Sigurdson/pienaar
Grealish
Scott Sinclair
Matt phillips
Benteke (Drogba)

Also bring in likes of Bamford, Tom Carroll, James Wilson loan and sign championship talents Hendrick and Hughes, Friend, Tom ince , tyrone mings, vigen Christensen , Lewis dunk.

Huddlestone another of my mentions. Vardy not interested. Prefer nzonzi to huddledtone and Wilson or bamford

The Hudd is on silly money there. Hull pay a few of their players big money. Now granted it doesn't mean he won't take a pay drop, but I wouldn't want to be paying a fee for him and then 50-60k a week on top. Not unless he shifts some timber. I'm not sure entirely what he would offer either. He plays that kind of Pirlo role but that doesn't suit the Premiership as much as Serie A, and even compared to Pirlo who is a 57 this year, Hudd comes off as slow. He's crap defensively and as others have said he doesn't score or assist enough. He's not swift of feet enough to play further forward, where his passing may instigate more. I'd sooner give Gardner a go.

Hudd was good in parts last season but poor this, and he tends to have anonymous patches.

[PeterWithesShin]

Huddlestone and Vardy. For £20m. Let me think about that....

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

Vardy for £15m is so laughably unrealistic, that it could actually be real!

[ROBBO]

If i were the potential new owner wanting to invest in my new company would i sanction the purchase of Huddlestone or Vardy well only if i were a chancer with no real money behind me.I would like to see Sherwood succeed where so many previous managers have failed but if and thats a bif if there is anything in this then i would have serious doubts.

[Goldie.7]

Really don't know how I feel about the Huddlestone link.. although Toon negotiating Bas Dost for £9m seems like decent business for a proven 26 year old.

He is the type of player we should definitely be in for again especially for £6.5m after we shift Weimann out.

If Sherwood does end up going for Huddlestone even if that ridiculous price is reduced. I will have serious doubts about him. Some others seem to rate him highly though!
