The Hudd certainly has potential, but I hope he realises that potential somewhere else, I'll be very surprised if Ramos sees him as a first eleven player for us at the start of next season, once he has had two transfer windows to bring in the quality of midfielder we currently don't have.
If the abuse is going to continue I would be more than happy to lock this thread and walk into the sunset laughing my cods off.
Put the big stick down and go back to bed. Nobody is insulted, it is all good natured, why do you feel the need to get involved?
I have started a debate, the fact that many of the responses have been silly, makes my argument all the stronger.
Let's keep this site the great site that it has always been, a place where people can speak their minds, a community. This isn't communist Russia.
but A&C I think you may find that this abuse is quite light mannered, not too different to what you say to everybody around you.
its only silly 'cos no one is taking it seriously, for it is your loss if you can't see how great Hudd is!
That is the silliest comment yet:rofl::rofl:
You think that Huddlestone is a great player? Do you REALLY believe that, or are you just saying that to look clever in this thread?
If he was so great why does he regularly play very poorly? Why does he regularly get dropped by 2 managers?
I am not saying he doesn't have talent, what I am saying is that he doesn't show it. He needs something that he can't make for himself, time.
Paul Scholes has been one of the best midfield players in the world for about 12 years now, since he was younger than Hudd, he makes time for himself. As do many players who aim to be creative influences.
I would love nothing more than for Hudds to make me eat my words, my password for this site has his name in it, I have nothing against him other than he is not good enough, currently, to play for the team that I love.
I remember a time when you could have an interesting discussion in spurs chat.... How times change.
I would be intrigued to know if Walworthspur saw any of the Brum game as then he would clearly have seen what the Hudd is capable of.
he's only 20 and considering most players get their debuts (for a PL team) at 21/22 he is "great" for a 20 year old relatively speaking, and considering that I judge everything on a relative scale, for me this suggests that he is a "great" player. He also has a huge amount of potential, he has the potential of being a player who makes space for himself. This to me is a great player (Great player= Potential+Player ability)
Jol (allegedly) said the Hudd was two years away from a regular first-team place. Yes, he was non-existent tonight after half-time, and not too great in the first half. But who else would have found that pass for Keano on Sunday?
But in the end we're all pissed off about the way this season has gone and are pinning blame here there and everywhere as a result. Huddlestone hasn't become Beckenbauer, or even Tugay. So what? Jenas hasn't become Gerrard, Zokora hasn't become Carrick or Davids (or both). Christ, Zokora is one of my least favourite players (or, to put it more accurately, the player that frustrates me most now Ghaly's gone); suddenly, I find myself defending him against totally ludicrous 'criticisms'.
Maybe we should all just chill, shelve the unrealistic expectations, and let Ramos, Gus and the players sort things out.
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
Nice one! Very creative.
