I'm doubting Tom had ever mixed cement, so for my extension I'm going to plump for a time-served trademan experienced in construction, shaken or stirred?

If this was at the expense of someone like Jackson Irvine I would be seriously disappointed. They're completely different players. If it's at the expense of Irvine then you should be bewildered as opposed to disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rample Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 1 hour ago, BramcoteRam84 said: 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!! That sounds about right as the initial fee (may have been as low as £500k), but whatever the add ons were we wrote them off to loan El hamdaoui from spurs.

maydrakin Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Not feeling this at all. Was a good player, now seems to be as mobile as a dustbin full of concrete. When we beat Hull 4-0, our midfield really punished his lack of manoeuvrability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcfcrams89 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Can't believe folk were so keen on whelan but not huddlestone, I'd take huddlestone every day of the week. I think he would offer more and he's also younger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Think some people are seeing this through rose tinted glasses as its a former academy lad... his performances the last few seasons have been awful, far too immobile, most games pass him by, plus on big wages, would be disappointed if he signs tbh.

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. Pretty sure we got two seasons out of Seth. Didn't Brown bring him in? Hmm, I may be wrong. Didn't think Davies signed him. 16 minutes ago, Kamikaze said: Think some people are seeing this through rose tinted glasses as its a former academy lad... his performances the last few seasons have been awful, far too immobile, most games pass him by, plus on big wages, would be disappointed if he signs tbh. Are you judging Huddlestone by how Hull did? Pretty sure he was their best player in a depleted team last season, even playing CB in Davies' absence.

Good point. But our team is starting to look like Dads Army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, we got 2 seasons out of Seth. You are wrong on Davies, he played the full match, it was his mistake that cost the first goal, after the red card Livermore played CB and not sure about Tom being their best player either.

Dcfcrams89 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I also thought huddlestone was one of hulls better performers last season. Also with regards to mobility, I agree huddlestone can't shift particularly well but not sure he's ever been that sort of player to cover too much ground anyway. I'm sure whelan would be no quicker!!
