I certainly don't think it is at full back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Omg @MACKWORTHRAM just confirmed Huddlestone and Lawrence are definitely signing. Any news on Jota? When's Jota joining them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - I like him as a proper centre mid - Not a defensive mid as he's a little too small - But he's got a decent pass and a decent engine and can tackle - He's not shy of getting involved either - Think he'd be a great combative force in the 2 of the 4-2-3-1 or 4-1-2-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes his hamstring injury is only a grade 1 but they can quickly escalate if not properly attended. Kompany and Aguero's hamstring injuries for Man City originally started off as minor before eventually escalating. I thought Kompany had a calf problem?

You could be right but with the insurance of both Thorne and Huddlestone you could sacrifice one of Butterfield or Johnson to play both Martin and Nugent, thus increasing goalscoring options. Nugent can create a bit of space for Martin and is clever enough to read Martin's flick ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't look out for him you wouldn't know he was playing. I thought he did ok but I do believe he is very limited. He gets around the pitch and puts a tackle in without every being very convincing. At this stage he is simply not god enough and shouldn't be considered an option if we genuinely expect to challenge Top 6. I expect him to go out on loan to the Championship or League One in the next couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcnram Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 3 hours ago, McLovin said: Judging by the fact that we got a hamstring injury less than a week after starting full training. It shouldn't happen. Minor injuries are common after long term injuries, but if the minor injuries occur soon after engaging in full time training again, it suggests that the injury wasn't full attended and his muscles weren't trained for intense exercises again. Most of that is tosh kiddo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 13 hours ago, Nuwtfly said: "Tom Huddlestone could return to his first club Derby County, who are ready to activate the £2million release clause in his contract at Hull City. West Bromwich Albion and Newcastle United are among the Premier League clubs considering a move for Huddlestone. The 30-year-old former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder dropped out of the top-flight with Hull last season. It is understood that Huddlestone is prepared to play in the Championship and would consider a move to Derby if he can agree terms. The former England international made 95 appearances for County before moving to Tottenham for £2.5m in 2005. Huddlestone is also a target for his old Spurs manager Harry Redknapp, now in charge at Birmingham." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4687140/Derby-make-2m-bid-Hull-midfielder-Tom-Huddlestone.html#ixzz4mZ3INvwX I thought some posters suggested that we got completely ripped off by the huddlestone transfer and got far less than this amount.

Would love to be proven wrong. Derby fans find it exceptionally easy to write a young player off. Not saying you're part of the section that were convinced that Lingard, Livermore, Smith and other young loanees were not good enough for Derby, but there's form!

Sexydadbod Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Well let's wait and see then about Thorne. I remember the abuse I got when I linked the journalist who said that Hughes was going to Watford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
