Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[passitsideways]

If we're going by the stereotype that Sherwood wants players who play at a high tempo, I can't think of a more ill-suited player for that than Huddlestone

[Matt Collins]

Wouldn't want huddle stone at all

Bas Dost seems to score in fits and starts I think? Not seen him play so can't comment but he's an obvious contender if benteke goes.

[Clampy]

I've never seen the fuss about Huddlestone either. He's very average.

[Boz]

Huddlestone, one word NO.

[Villa in Denmark]

I've never seen the fuss about Huddlestone either. He's very average.

He reminds me of someone I used to play Sunday League with.  Gets a game in poor teams because "he's a good passer of the ball" which translates to, he risks a heart attack if he moves outside of the centre circle whilst he needs 3 other players to "do his running for him".

I'd call him the Darren Bent of midfielders, but at least Bent is/was very good at the one thing he was paid for.

Huddlestone is one of those players who looks good if you only ever see him on match of the day because he does have a good range of passing and can make things happen on the counter attack.  Because of that lots of the press and by extension fans have this opinion that's he's an English Pirlo.  What they miss is the fact that he's a lazy fucker who only gets involved when people give him the ball, he can't defend and he is the least mobile player in the league.

It could work if you build your team around him but if we go down the route of buying someone to build a team around I'd want much better than Huddlestone at the centre of it.

Hull built their team around Hudd and it get them relegated.

Huddlestone is a player who looked full of great promise and potential several years ago.

He has never realised that potential, which is why he's ended up at Hull, and now looks as if he's full of bread pudding.

No thanks.

[footyskillz]

Huddledtone around the right players 'with legs' as we say in the game would be great. That means energetic players around him. Also perhaps having another sitting midfielder but huddledtone cud pick up ball off defence and play the passes.

[JD]

Vardy & Huddlestone. No thanks and please don't be true, we need better than them to improve.

[passport1]

Dear god no.

[footyskillz]

Huddledtone also is in better shape/slimmer than his spurs days I think . So these overweight shouts aren't really the case and based on his injured days at spurs

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

And so the link with every player TS has managed at Spurzzz begins...

[footyskillz]

Also as I stated if. People font want big bad tom lets hear suggested alternatives. Its all well and good to say we don't want him or must buy better!!? But which players realistically are we seeking. I suspect all summer I be asking this! I gave up my players which included big bad tom why don't others say ok huddledtone not for me I'd go for...

Anyway as he's in the news a decent fee of up to 3mil cant hurt. The trouble is it seems to be a different hull player every week.
Personally I see big bad tom go to Newcastle I think.
Btw bad dost is seemingly very good option however Sherwood doesn't look like a foreign player fancier esp untried in prem. His English ways and banter would be lost on those arriving. From non English game

[warleyboy]

No way would TS be looking at Huddlestone, he is not the type of midfielder we require, I feel it is the Spurs link again.
As for Vardy, just total bullshite, TS will not look at any strikers until Tekkers situation has been sorted out.
