Huddlestone

[Robsondinho]

Technically one of the best English footballers to play the game in recent years imo. Good player, I wouldn't be against it.

They want to cash in mate. Coz he is free to leave in the summer

Same situation as Hoilet H a swap might be the answer

[bakes8]

Excellent player. I'd buy at the right price.

[Alanwycombe]

Sell Caulker, buy Huddlestone? Sounds good to me, I don't care where he plays.

[Rangers77]

Please, please, please, please. Someone who can carry the ball in central midfield? Yes.

You would get rid of our 'current' best and in-form player?

[Alanwycombe]

As a 16 year old at Derby he was thought of as a potential footballing centre back and I'm pretty sure he played there for England youngsters, maybe even Derby first team if I remember right. Spurs bought him to play in front of the back four which is a position we don't use. I don't know how JFH set up his previous teams but this may be what he has in mind 4 1 4 1 or a diamond?

[Alanwycombe]

The fact is that if Faurlin gets injured there's not a midfielder worthy of tying his boots at the club - Huddlestone is a similar type of player and Les is likely to know a bit about him...also suspect he'd cost less than 4.25m and may be attracted by a return to London (would anyone want to live in Hull voluntarily??)

This. Plus Sandro is injury prone. Huddlestone can defend as well as pass a ball accurately. Decent free kick in his locker too - that would be a novelty.

People say he has a decent free kick in his locker but he hardly ever scores them. The thing that has held him back is the fact he just doesnt score enough.

He can ping the ball around the pitch beautifully and he would certainly add something to us. However 4.4 mill is alot and as others have said if we are to part with big money I hope a striker is the priority before cm.

Yes he will walk in the summer anyhow if we could get Huddleston in a swap why not ! if we cant then getting his wages off the books would be as good as getting a fee

Is he out of contract in the summer then? Hoilett that is?

[davidla80]

Good passer but not very mobile.
We do need another striker - if Charlie gets injured then we will struggle.

[dogsrrs]

Yes he is mate that's why a swap for Huddleston could suit both parties

[ArthurQPR_NYC]

at £4m!??? some of you on here are fking mad!!

so much for the countless threads on here re overspending!

this fella can't even get into the Hull squad.

[Alanwycombe]

If we sell someone like Caulker then we're not overspending. By free kicks I meant where he can deliver them - clear the first defender for a start, and in the danger zone - not necessarily shooting for goal, and what's the point of another striker if we don't create chances? This may all just be rumour of course, but I am happy to trust JFH to change our playing style. He's been around at the top and must have some ideas new to our club.
