Think the lad would be a tremendous signing, however not sure if he would come this far north can see Jol at Fulham stepping in for him.
IMO he's the type of player who I have seen play an absolute blinder - but then a week later he's looked like a little boy lost. He might be good for us as we're a smaller pond by "current stature" standards
According to tonight's London Evening Standard he is on his way to us in a £5 million deal, he has agreed to take a pay cut in order to make the move, no news on Danny Rose however.
He'd be class if we sign him. Fantastic technique Really hope Rose joins him, though! That would be perfect
This is the one signing that would completely underwhelme me. He can spray a ball about but he isn't gonna get 30 seconds and 30 yards of space he does at spurs. He's slow and injury prone and before anyone says he's got a great shot hes only got about 15 goals in his entire career.
Good player, miles better than cattermole. Midfield 4 of Johnson, Huddlestone, Cabral and Gallereccini (spelling), ****ing hell the best 4 we've had in a long time
I like him 28 games last year so Hopefully injuries are a thing of the past. He will definitely give us options. 5 mil' seems fair enough. Better than any CM we had last year.
I honestly think that 5 million for a player with this injury record is a joke. Please no!!! He must have glass knees! 12/13 06.02.2013-08.03.2013 Knee injury 11/12 15.02.2012-30.06.2012 Knee-OP 11/12 23.09.2011-14.02.2012 Knee-OP 10/11 10.11.2010-01.02.2011 Malleolar injury 08/09 16.05.2009-30.07.2009 Knee Problems 08/09 16.08.2008-23.08.2008 Bone buckling???????!!
Look at the injury record for any 26 year old midfielder…bet they have been out for a similar amount of time Huddlestone's have all came at once GET BEHIND THE LAD!
However, I am curious as to why he would want to leave London AND take a pay-cut….he could get first team football at a team like Fulham who are on a similar level imo…very strange
Like Cattermole you mean? 12/13 09.02.2013 Unknown Knee injury 12/13 17.01.2013 08.02.2013 Knee injury 12/13 27.11.2012 14.01.2013 Knee injury 10/11 28.12.2010 03.04.2011 back trouble 09/10 01.11.2009 16.01.2010 cruciate ligament tear 09/10 19.08.2009 29.08.2009 back trouble 07/08 18.01.2008 03.03.2008 Knee Problems Problem is with Huddlestone is that he'll be nearer 8 million with add-ons will have no resale value and will spend half the time warming the bench for 40k a week. There is better out there without having Levy taking our eyes out again. If you look at his knee problems 2008 (bone buckling!!!),2009,2011,2012,2013... where is this coming all at once he's had problems with his knees nearly annually for the last 6 years... This to Spurs is akin to Sunderland selling Catts to Hull for 4.5 million!!!
