    He won't get in our team. Don't know why we've bought him. Another bench warmer when the new guys arrive.

    He has a few mental health issues, I know his mother and was told a fair few stories. You cannot live a normal life with Mental health issues, I’ve tried for over 60 years… it’s ****ing impossible, believe me.

    Fair enough.
    Might be best for him to stay off the lemonade's a bit though if he struggles with Mental health.
    What do I know though, I'm not a doctor.

    Huddlestone didnt do any worse than anyone else anyway that game. For most of the first half he was pretty tidy.

    I don’t disagree. I was making the point he’s not really someone who can just drop into a team. He needs the right players around him both to cover and to make use of his range of passing. He doesn’t really fit into a side playing a fast paced or high pressure game. Kind of need to build the team around him to make proper use of him.

    Well you know what works best for you Redtop and I wish you a good day, everyday.
    For me, the worst thing was booze. If I had too many I would have suicidal tendencies.
    On a drinking session now, I can throw in shandies to reduce the amount of alcohol and my downside.
    Only thing with that is you want to piss more.
    Mostly though when feeling **** a nice cuppa does the trick after a long walk.
    Not easy though mate.

    You don't have to be a fast mover to move the ball quickly, in fact, Tom H probably moves the ball faster than most of our players. It's about not taking a touch, but hitting the passed immediately you receive it, Tom has the ability to do that. High press also is most effective in midfield and upfront, which keeps the ball in the opposition's half, so as long as he has legs around him he should be able to cope okay IMO.

    I agree, Tom’s not as quick as some in a race, but he’s seen and played the pass before the others have thought about it

    Don't disagree with any of that but if the Stoke game is anything to go by he can get caught out of position a bit which puts extra pressure on those legs around him.

    Booze was never the issue for me. It had been in the past but to be honest, I was drinking far too much and living just off a vibrant part of the city near a group of mates who would go to pub to celebrate the opening of a Mars Bar.
    Spending time in my own head was the worst place to be. I was literally my own worst enemy. My old job was travelling all over the country spending anywhere between 2 and 7 hours driving. I covered an area from Boston Lincs, across to Carmarthen, up to Lancaster and back across to Durham.
    As a consequence, it affected my driving to the point that I nearly lost my licence due to several small speeding issues (not condoning- just drifting off into my own world and going 4/5 miles over the limit).

    One of my jobs was in Manchester and as I packed all my tools in my van, I sat there in a carpark sobbing and looking at a massive pack of Paracetamol.
    That was me at my lowest.

    Anyway, I've changed jobs now so I'm not driving all the time and I'm with a great set of lads so there are very few times when I can drift off and even if I did, I can bring it back in line fairly quickly.

    This is the first time I've discussed this in an open forum - only my Mrs, two of my friends and my parents know how it has hit me.

    Thankfully, things have levelled out and I've not seen the black dog for a long time. I do feel that even if I did see the bastard, I have the tools to tell it to **** off.

    As I said I didn't see the game, as ifollow didn't show it. But from what I read, Grant played him a bit too far forward, and these days he is best suited to being just in front of the back 3. I'm not sure whether that was the case or not.

    It's being reported as a €4.5m fee, but with a 50% sell-on clause.

    Yeah, you would hope that's 50% of any profit, if true. Still seems bonkers.
