King Kevin Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Never been a massive fan ,I suppose he's a half decent backup for our superstar kids .Lets hope he doesn't have to play very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramslad1992 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Just for sentimental reasons I'd be up for keeping him as backup... didnt he play over 100 games for us at 18? As for the coaching side I'd be more than happy having him as a youth coach. His passing ability is second to none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to have him here but, sadly, we can't afford to retain players for sentimental reasons and, surely, we have enough back up in midfield. In terms of coaching, how many coaches do we need? Also, none of us know what his coaching skills and personality is really like. Being a good player doesn't automatically make you a good coach. For me, I'd be inclined to say thanks but time for both sides to move on unless the club really do see some coaching potential in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of that backup in midfield are backup in other positions too. Shinnie in one of the more advanced CM roles, Evans and Bielik CB cover. With Bielik still to recover from his injury, and Evans' injury history, It probably makes sense to keep Hudd on for another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-stand Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Shame an agreement couldn't have been sorted to see the season to the end, but best wishes and hopefully he'll be there at Wembley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaltRam Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 There were games when he was worth the entrance fee on his own. Blissful passer of a ball. In the end though, time's caught up with big Tom. Thanks for everything, and cheerio I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 If we were truly desperate and it's all truly amicable then maybe Tom would consider a pay as you play deal up to the end of the season - should the need arise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t. Out of contract with no end of season extension, can’t sign him again now. It’s done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 As happy as I was when he signed I just cant see where he fits in the pecking order of the team to justify his likely big wage. As it stands it would be hard to fit our record signing in Bielik into the team Centre mid we have plenty of options - Rooney Bird Bielik Shinnie Evans as well Sibley Knight Holmes depending on formation. Been a good player for us but he is one of a few that it is the right time to move on from. Wish him all the best though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he allowed to sign for another club now and play during the remainder of the season, or is he barred from playing for anyone till next season?

ThePrisoner Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Quote Given Huddlestone’s long-standing history with Derby and his contribution both on and off the pitch, the club continues to remain in dialogue with the player and his representatives with the hope of coming to an agreement for him to remain with the club longer-term. https://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/2020/07/cocu-huddlestone-has-been-a-very-important-player-for-Derby-county Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As crazy as this season has been, he's probably agreed to sign for Leeds next season, but Bielsa has asked him to hang around here for a little longer! ?
