    I can hear the surprised pervert reaching for the Kleenex as we speak...

    Newcastle United are weighing up a raid on Steve McClaren’s former club Derby County – for Will Hughes.
    The midfielder was the Championship club’s player of the season last term.
    And Liverpool have been linked with a summer move for Hughes, who is in the Czech Republic with England for the European Under-21 Championship.

    But the Gazette understands that Hughes is also interesting Newcastle, who seem certain to sell long-serving midfielder Cheik Tiote this summer.
    Hughes, however, won’t come cheaply, and Derby reportedly rate him in the £15m-bracket.
    United – who have also been linked with Manchester United midfielder and former Derby loanee Jesse Lingard – are looking to add two or three British players to McClaren’s squad.
    McClaren spoke glowingly about Hughes while head coach of Derby last season.
    “He is developing and he is getting better, but there is still a long way to go,” said McClaren last October.

    £15m is a very popular number.

    So it is. I hope McLaren realises, with the players we have, he needs to play 3 at the back, Dummet and Janmaat are solid, Tiote and Anita holding. We just need to go out and buy a really good centre back, for 10-14.9 mio. I dont care of Coloccini/Willo and Taylor stick around for another year, they can be cover, as long as they're not in the first team.

    Is he really that good?! Everytime I watched Derby he wasn't the standout player!

    Last player I thought of this was Rob Lee, fingers crossed! :1980_boogie_down:

    I think it's consistency with Hughes. It's rarely 9/10, but never below 7/10. The anti-Sissoko, if you like.

    But will a consistent 7/10 in teh Championship equate to a 7/10 in the Premiership? If so happy days for whichever team gets him, if not.......
