Tom Huddlestone

Gotta say fellas he ran the show yesterday.. what a buy.
Thought he was good at Spurs but he's a notch above that now.
He seemed to be able to pick his pass perfectly and basically made things tick.
Anyways enjoy the three points and best of luck for the rest of the season.

He's been like that every game so far, it's been a joy to watch someone of his talent in black and amber.

 

how much did you pay for him?

 

Thanks mate, Hudds is just a brilliant player to watch. He makes it seem like he has so long on the ball and rarely misplaces a pass. He seems to have improved his ability to win the ball back and help out the team. I used to think he was a bit of a luxury player but for us he has been a class all rounder. Hopefully he can cut his hair soon

 

£5m. Somewhere around that anyway, as a loan fee for Livermore was part of it too.

 

Believed to be £5.25 million so not bad at all

 

£5 million

 

Could honestly be pushing for England if he keeps that up.
£5m is a steal.

 

Yesterday he seemed to create so many chances with long balls forward, but they were perfectly weighted and control every time

 

I've been saying this for a while, even when he was still at Spurs - how is Cleverley ahead of him in the national side? He's ****e.

 

I wouldn't say ****e as he'd walk into our side. Not good enough for PL champions though.

 

I meant ****e for England. And United for that matter.

He would not be getting called up if he was at a less fashionable club. Simple.

 

I agree with you there.

 

Cheers - Thudd will be the difference between staying up or not. I think we've played really well in our opening games. Steve Bruce has made a huge difference to the calibre of player we have been able to attract, I thought the rumours about us signing Huddlestone, before he actually signed were a piss take!! Thrilled to have a player of his calibre pulling on our shirt. Best of luck for the rest of the season!

 

The thing is, the time he had on the ball and the type of pass... it didn't look like long ball.

 

He has the air of calmness and demands the ball in tight situations. He very rarely takes more then two touches.

And they say we can't produce technically gifted players.

If his name was Huddlestonino people would rave about him.

 

The thing is, if the roles were reversed and Cleverley played for us and Huddleston played for Man Utd, you'd complain that Hudd gets the call up and not TC!

 

I wouldnt, because like I just said, I have always rated Thudd and thought he should be in the England squad way before he joined us.

 

I haven't seen you call his praises before and organise a peaceful protest like you are now!

 

Because he wasn't a City player before!
