Is Huddlestone actually losing weight as Ramos demanded?

you say huddlestone doesnt get around the pitch alot, nor does tugay and he is quality..

theres very strong rumours huddlestone is heading to blackburn in january...and being a rovers fan, i think it would be a brilliant signing..his passing is second to none and he is only 20..i cant see it being between 5-7 million tho, maybe 4 million tops..

he will be your loss if he leaves you tho, hes talented, only young, and under the right management can turn into an england star..anyway, your loss hopefully our gain..

Ironic to see a Blackburn fan recognising what some of our own are failing to.

Same could have been said of Carrick before he moved on - technically good, great range of passing but didn't seem to put himslef about enough, make enough challenges or win enough ball for a DM.

What people didn't notice was Carrick (and Hudd) are excellent readers of the game and are positionally good when screening the back four. Both players can look lazy, or like they are playing at half pace but are in fact taking up good defensive positions, make a lot of interceptions and can play passes from deep.

Hudd is the one player we have that is capable of pulling the strings in the middle of the park - he has a range of passing and speed of thought second to none in our squad. What he does need is a terrier-like box-to-box player along side him to put in the running. Whether we are willing to accommodate a player that doesn't do all his own donkey work is another matter!

If we choose to play a certain way - Hudd could play a key role as a deeplying quarterback making things tick. However if we choose to go with two combative CMs Hudd might find himself surplus to requirements,

Fantastic!! Couldnt have said it better myself :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

I agree with the people who think letting hudd go now is stupid because yo put it simply our midfield is dog sh*** and his passing is much better than zokora's and a little better than jenas'. While on the other hand he can't read the game to make up for his lack of pace, he rarely plays the killer ball which can slice the other team in half and for a mountain of a man his tackling is pathetic at best. While he has the same problem as all english kids in football by being over rated.
