Tom Huddlestone

[Blanchflower]

Has he now been out for over a year with what was initially a hamstring strain?

WTF do our physios do? :harryfacepalm:

 

[YidoBuckler]

Thought it was an ankle problem? Physio Room seems to agree.

Only team with more injuries than us at the moment is Man Utd.

Although Adebayor played last night so it is 8. De Laet, Bebe and Owen are hardly first team regulars either.

One thing that annoys me is that united (and the media) basically blame injuries for everything when they don't win, yet nothing is heard about us when we have a high number of players out injured?

And fuck them, they lost an Anfield but we managed a point.

No, Thudd's not injured... WE don't have any injured players... besides, even if we did, WILSHIRE'S been out much longer than ALL of them... and it's MUCH worse for him, 'cos he's got a twatter account, so can fucking keep banging on about it... when you work it out, Thudd's only really been injured for a week or so, and is an ever present this season!!

Honestly, you'd think ArseAnal are the only ones with fucking injuries!!

I'd actually almost got to the point of forgetting we HAD Thudd at the club...

STILL...

**RETURNING INJURED PLAYER CLICHÉ ALERT **

...It will be like signing a new player when he comes back!

I quite liked the suggestion from, er, someone (James Richardson?) that instead of announcing Bebe was injured at the start of the season, Man Utd should have kept quiet about it just to see how long it would take before anyone noticed he wasn't around.

 

[YidoBuckler]

That list should also have King on it. Despite being permanently injured, he is still amazing.

Huddlestone is on Twitter too. He's pretty despicable.

Is he?

All he seems to use it for is to encourage the team and promote his charitable campaign!

 

[NO1JIB]

big fan of the thuddster, not sure how he fits into the first team at the moment. i dont think he does to be honest, as we're all about shifting forward a bit lively, but against a bus parking team, tom coming on with 20 minutes to go would be very useful, we're often restricted to 30 yard efforts when theres 9 defenders in the way, thats tom territory.

You mean the charitable campaign he could support well through his own generous wage, rather than begging fans of lesser means to do so?

He must be donating too...

he might well be sorting them a few bob, dont know, but nothing wrong with raising awareness of something you believe in and getting others involved. dont see a problem.

Have to say growing your HAIR in support of a Cancer charity seems a little ill-judged! ...kinda like doing a sponsored Kick-Line and Mexican Wave for Paraplegics!

Actually, that's exactly why. I don't know about THudd, but people often grow their hair and then sell it to wig-makers, who make wigs for people who are undergoing cancer treatment.

 

[Paydro]

Thudd has been out for fuckn ages, hopefully he's been steering clear of the ketchup as he takes fuckn ages to reach match fitness at the best of times.

 

[NandM]

Can't really see The Big THudd fitting into the current system to be honest. However, I really hope we can find a way for him to play regularly. Would hate to see him turn up for some other club (and a little scared, tbh).

 

[Paydro]

nah he could fit into our midfield 3 if he was match fit without a doubt

Parker or Sandro would need to be in there to though

on top form Hudd gets around the pitch pretty well it's just he takes an age to get match fit and has been struggling with injuries for awhile. If VDV is injured something like this could work


---------------Parker
-----------Hudd Modric

----Lennon----Ade----Bale

Hudd is great at switching play fast with the long diagonals alot like VDV

 

[frontwheel]

I agree. His range of passing would be a nice option at times.

I also agree that he would need to be deployed with Sandro/Parker/Livermore alongside. For such a massive bloke, he seems scared to tackle. Maybe he'd have been useful last night.

You would hav a big gap between the midfield, and the attack. There's no one there to link up play.

Can't be easy having Jordan as your mum.

Modric, Lennon and Bale is more than enough to do that
