    I rate him but he hasn’t scored many in recent seasons

    Agree. If the goalie comes,we still need a CB,CM,two wide men left and right, and an oven ready front man. So 5,and that's assuming Huggins is going to be fit and ready at RB.

    Seems a lot of teams are getting picked apart

    He has had injury issues galore (likely why little interest) but that’s a low fee and if it panned out be a steal.

    I like Huggins but coming in as a League One player and then barely playing doesn't hit me as Premier League ready, even if he has the ability. Feel like we've grown too quick and left him behind.

    I'd want to be loaning him out somewhere he'll play week in week out and then seeing if he's capable next season.

    I think you can add another CB and CM to that at least

    Ordinarily yes, but when he’d had a run and was playing for weeks he looked like arguably the best player at club, he was superb.

    I’ve a lot of faith in him ability wise.

    I think his wages are really high so that probably would make the deal a non starter for us

    We seem to be competing with PSG and Brighton from what I could make of that article you posted. Cresswell is more realistic, I think.

    I would imagine his wages are wage mate <laugh>

    Seriously though likely right, and we have an inside line at Roma so clearly we don’t see value.

    Huggins is a funny one, showed his ability but it was in such a small sample size it's hard to tell what kind of player he will truly be

    For me he’s one of our best players if we can keep him fit. It’s up to the medics for me.

    All viewpoints fair on Huggins.

    I’d want him kept here till January at least to evaluate.

    So my list was

    GK (maybe sorted)
    RB
    LB (sorted)
    CB X1/2
    CM X2/3 (X1 Sorted)
    RW
    LW
    ST

    so by what I wanted another 7/8/9 depending on if bulka comes and leavers etc

    still a LONG way to go

    That’s true but in that spell he was arguably our best player. Needs to be able to play consistently though.

    Huggins looks a superb footballer who is NOT injury prone but rather had two major injuries and misfortune. If he has a good pre season he could be a big squad player and potentially mean we don’t have to sign a RB cover

    Aye easy to overlook it was 2 separate major injuries.

    Bang unlucky, nothing else.

    Id still love Hampus Skoglund as Hume cover but think we may go a bit more experienced.

    Yep that's about right, we will need a GK (If Bulka doesn't come), CB, CM, LW, RW and ST
