Agreed. Probably the best thing about his passing is his ability to effortlessly ping a precise ball 70 yards froms a standstill with either foot. Play him further up the pitch and you take away the opportunity to do just that.

Not to mention he's not the most mobile, playing further up off the striker he has to cover the width of the pitch and bomb into the box to support the striker and back out to cover. That's not going to happen the striker would just be left isolated.

I think that what Leicester have done last season will be mirrored by many teams this season. The getting the ball forward in double quick time. If it means by passing the midfield then so be it. Thud has the ability to do that, but we have to have some pace to connect with that.

Huddlestone seems to be back to his best now, am excited to see him take that form on next season in a league to which he will be suited

I personally think Huddlestone has been a massive disappointment post his first 3 months with us and the only reason people think he was good at the end of last season was because it was an improvement on the previous years of ****e he'd served up.

Wasn't it really interesting how he suddenly served up his best football in years as he stared unemployment in the face...?

Yep. Only a two year deal. If he was the player he used to be he would have got a 3 year deal or he would have got it elsewhere.

Dont get me wrong he's a terrific footballer, one of the best passers of a ball we've ever had, if not the best, but his attitude was appalling last season. He was getting subbed against **** teams.
Glad he improved at the end though.
New season, fresh start. <ok>

I think that is about the best that be said about him. I wouldn't have resigned him, but as we have, I agree with what GLP says about him (below). For anyone in our team, including the manager, it has to be a new season, fresh start. 100% right, Chazz.

The thing is in front of the back 4 is the best position for Huddlestone. He's quite effective in tackling (He started life as a footballer as a centre half) the fact he can dribble and pass is an added bonus.

Now if we could find someone on the same wavelength as Huddlestone that had the legs and incisive passing - I think we'd have ourselves the answer in midfield.

I wonder about him as part of a 3 man centre back line-up? Would be good to have a ball-player there, our distribution from the back isn't great, he's a perfect size, he can read the game and his slothness in midfield slowing down break away attacks would be a welcome removal. It would solve a lot of issues in one fell swoop.

Martin Jol (I know...) said he was the best sweeper in the world for precisely these reasons and him in between Davies and Dawson would be formidable for a club like us. Put it this way, if Antonio Conte took over us tomorrow that's where he'd play him!
