AndyB Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Fair play on the Wisdom loan then. Have we signed Bamford yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Let me just check the squad list......no. But it's the story the DET, BBC and Sky are also running now. If either of those 3 had written the article above would you be so quick to dismiss it? All media outlets get some right and a lot wrong, this could be another right one, we'll wait and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramsbottom Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Not worried in the slightest whether it's true or not. Or Liverpool have is first refusal if/when WE decide to sell him. Not when someone else decides to buy him... I'd rather he goes to them than the Manchester clubs or Chelski anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I suppose The Mirror will get the occasional story right! Hughes is a big Liverpool fan too so he will be pleased to play for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I wonder if this will affect us getting Bamford and if it also means we will be getting any other Liverpool youngsters on loan. If true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Ram Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 He's already been sold to them 3 times. TBF we've made around 30 million out of it now, but I think we should sell him a few more times; just to get our moneys worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahjames08 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 We should take a leaf out of Alex Fergusons book and now bow to pressure and sell our best assets. Will Hughes is at good as it gets, excellent player and I'm sure Steve will want to keep the nuclease of this squad and win promotion. We can build and lets not forget Will is only 18 years old and the first name on the team sheet. We let Huddlestone go for nothing lets not make the same mistake again...

Jacko1983 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Will is a good player for his age but at the games i have seen him play this season, he has shown nowhere near the quality that he did at the beginning of last season. Teams are aware of the threat he poses now and he has been struggling with the physicality of the league this season. He looks a bit stronger but his game hasn't really improved to be honest so i'm struggling to see what all of the fuss is about, or why his price tag has doubled...

davenportram Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 This deal doesn't harm us in the slightest. It means if we decide to sell they get first offer. Which means we tell them we want to sell and then reject thier first offer - generate a bidding war or a team wants him offer us a price that we ate willing to sell at - we then tell Liverpool "X" have offered us £y millions will you match it.

And I think this is likely the reason why despite all of the rumours, despite all of the numerous transfer threads on here about the player and despite all of his supposed talent.................there has yet to be a single concrete bid for him. Not one manager is willing to take the gamble on this kid and why would they. I've only watched about a dozen or so games over the last year but I've only seen him stand out in one of those games. The Championship is his current level. He isn't good enough to play at a higher level yet. He might be in the future but again.....it's only a maybe. His ludicrous valuation is merely because of his nationality. I still say we should take any offers of 6M with maybe an extra 4M based on appearances and future International appearances. Invest that into our side and develop this team further. Who knows......next season, we may just have a squad that can rival something like what Leicester have at the minute. Just have a look at their squad. It's packed with quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have seen glimpses of class at times this season, but he isn't the reason we are doing so well at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireRam Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I actually think Hughes has been better this season than last. Last season we saw more of the fancy flicks and flair side of his game whereas this season, we've seen less of that. However, this season he has played a pivotal role in creating the fluid football we have been playing recently. He may be doing less fancy stuff but more chances are being created and he is nearly always involved. Just look at the Charlton match to see what we were lacking football-wise, our only game recently without Hughes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the Charlton match to see what we were lacking football-wise, our only game recently without Hughes. Stats also back up the fact that he makes more tackles per match than anyone in the team - says something for a midfielder who isn't associated with defensive work.

Gary Teale Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I think Hughes wins the ball a lot from just nicking the ball in front of players as he probably reads it quicker than most. I also think he his role is understated, he links the play between the back 4 and attacking players, he is clearly a talented young player and people are so quick to knock.
