Wolfie20 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Hope not - Huddlestones' time at Derby has been and gone. If this was at the expense of someone like Jackson Irvine I would be seriously disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I can imagine Harry Redknapp being in for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Just now, philmycock said: He's not really a runner that GR likes is he? I'd agree, but we have enough players capable of scurrying around, and perhaps we need a balance. Someone who can put their foot on the ball and control things.

Such a shame, I suppose if George can't be relied on then Tom would be a sound alternative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carson, Forsyth, Lowe, Olsson, Keogh, Davies, Wisdom, Baird, Shackell, Bryson, Thorne, Johnson, Butterfield, Russell, Vydra, Martin, Nugent, maybe a few others too.

PrivateDerby Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 After losing Hughes and with Thorne being prone to injury (sad but true) Huddleston might keep us firing as an experienced sweeper, he can ping it onto the lads up front, couldn't really think of many more that can do that?

Stedcfc Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 We know we can't rely on George to be fit unfortunately and GR has said that he likes to play 4-2-3-1 so surely we need another proper CDM. This would be ideal for me, younger and technically better than Glen Whelan for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamLad1884 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 We need a Eustace mark ii. Thorne is not Mr reliable, and when he's not in the team we now do not have a player that can do what he does. Hughes was the closest thing we had to another thorne in the team. Huddleston's would be a very good fit for any solid champ team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his injuries are stacking up. No one can say that big Tom can't play. He can get on the ball and move it around quickly with precision.

Millenniumram Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 2 million release clause. Here we go again Have to admit, I wonder whether Chris Evans has been negotiating contracts up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossieram Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Brian Clough knew that if you had enough younger fitter runners in the team, one older experienced head that can put his foot on the ball and pick out a pass can make a big difference.

ram1964 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 No No No,respect GR for what he is doing and giving him the benifit of doubt with present purchases but not Huddlestone surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistoldPete2 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 He's not that old but already way past his best. Not very mobile but still a decent CDM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dava75 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 At the right price, it's a yes from me.....he'd be ideal competition/replacement for George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caught on twitter from what appeared to be a hull fan, clearly ain't usually a reliable place but you never know, probably no reason to make it up as they didn't appear to be seeking attention like 99% on there...
