Updated: “ Tom Huddlestone linked “

I have a few mates who support Derby County so I wrote to them regarding their thoughts on Tom Huddelstone. One of them replied saying that a Radio Derby Reporter had the following to say:

“Huddelstone looks the perfect player to fit into the holding position in Lampards preferred system of 4 3 3. He requires someone who is good on the ball to receive it from the defence and turn over the play to the exciting young attack. Lampard has been vocal in his admiration for Huddlestone, but fitness has been an issue.

The introduction of George Evans from Reading indicates there may be either some movement with Huddlestone or a worry injury wise, at the very least Derby are planning for life without Tom Huddelstone”.

This is the type of player we need and I wanted us to sign him the last time we were in the prom but ended up with Gary medel I think Hull signed him for similar money to what we paid for medel they got the better player and stayed in the league he also chipped in with a few goals, got prem experience and would do a great job

Medel was miles better than him, and probably still is.........

Derby fans seem happy enough to see him go by reading their comments but all seem to agree he`s a good player. I would take him that`s for sure .... Like the person above, i too remember wishing we`d signed him instead of Medel the last time we got promoted and i`m sure we were linked then too.

As did I, would have fitted into that system and think it was half the price of medel. But that was 4-5 years ago and now he wouldn't fit how we play at all imo and isn't the same player.

Shocking player

Another reply from a friend that supports Derby County at every single match, both home and away:

“Tom huddelstone, if the rumours are correct that hes signing for Cardiff 2/3 million, I wouldn't be upset that he left the club. He’s got 1 year left on his contract at the club with an option of another. He's 31 so cash in on him, we only brought him for 2 mill so any thing over that is a bonus. Last season he played holding and central midfielder. He can have good range of passing, but we didn't see much of it last season. He might have more space in the prem tho. If Cardiff have a weak midfield, he could be a good player in the prem.

If we keep Tom then I think he will be a fringe player because Frank likes people to press the ball when DCFC haven’t got the ball. I don't think he has the legs to do that. Frank and Mel (Mel Morries) want a youthful team”.

If we are looking for a playmaker and not a whippet we’ve already got one lee tomlin

If we could get him super fit and lose his pukka pie belly, he's got undoubted talent and could be our ace up the sleeve.

Arter being linked from Bournemouth now but they want £10m for him

Andrew, 'Keano' is a joke and only here to wind up for his/her own merriment. Just ignore!

Well past it he is ,if we d have got him last time we were in prem would have worked

Derby have just bought Martyn Waghorn from Ipswich for £5 million rising to £7.5 million. I don't think they are awash with cash so my have to recoup some of it. Also they have a load of midfielders in their squad so losing one might not be such a big blow.

Huddlestone linked

The Sun claim Tom Huddlestone is the latest potential midfield option for Neil Warnock, having missed out on Marko Grujic and Alfred N’Diaye.

Middlesbrough are also reportedly monitoring the situation, although Derby boss Frank Lampard is believed to be unwilling to lose the midfielder.

Who was it that said he was having a medical when he was pictured in an Asda car park in Cardiff at the beginning of Summer? Long medical if this comes off

Me mate

Did you say he was having a medical? Thought someone replied to the thread? BS might actually come off ha
