EnigmaRam Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 How much did we sell him for in the first place? Not denying he would be a decent aquisition and would benefit the team but that will always get on my tits if he came back and we'd missed out on all his best years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if all the rest of the team are old codgers too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynny Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I wouldn't mind him returning, only if it is for him to score. Don't think there is a player that I want more to score for us than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsy Ram Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 A more reliable player than Thorne, which makes him a better more valuable player, and exactly what we have been missing. There are no guarantees that Thorne can last a season. Hope we sign him ASAP - he's exactly what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elwood P Dowd Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Not sure that Huddlestons mobility will suit the type of game that GR may want to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BramcoteRam84 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Think £650k was what we sold Huddlestone for originally. It was meant to be £2m with add ons but those add ons never happened, one of them was something like he had to play for England within 2 years! Still the worst piece of transfer business in the club's history!! Those three amigos!!..... But anyway moving on, Huddlestone for £2m? Absolute no brainer for me. Would be perfect in a 4-2-3-1 alongside Thorne or as cover for Thorne. Still one of the best passers of a football in the country. Yes Please!!

DEL Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Big if we manage to get 1) Tom Huddlestone 2) Jota 3) Tom Lawrence Then this is REALLY serious business IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser_23 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Carson Wisdom Keogh Davies Forsyth Thorne Huddlestone Jota Vydra Lawrence Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 It could be like Seth Johnson all over again. He too came back an older, wiser player, we got less than a season out of him but boy what a difference he made. Big Tom may be the same and we can finally put the 650k or whatever it was to bed after all these years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab a dab doo Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 If it is a choice between Jota and Huddlestone it's Jota every time. Jota is both more mobile and scores more. Go get him GR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably prefer Jota if l wanted one of them to mix me a Martini, but l would have to go for Huddlestone if l wanted an extension built on the side of my house.

StringerBell Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I'd want someone more mobile playing alongside Huddlestone/Thorne. Either him or Thorne but against nippy midfielders or 3 man midfields we'd probably be overran if we played both. I like the idea of signing Huddlestone as competition/cover for Thorne but £2 millions still a fair amount and his wages won't be cheap. It's a maybe from me depending on if we can afford it.
