Isa Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) From the Huddlestone story: A source confirmed: “Sherwood is a big fan of Tom, and the pair have strong ties after working closely with one another during their time together at Spurs. “Tim coached Tom at White Hart Lane when he was fighting his way back to fitness with the reserves following a bad injury, and rates him as one of the best creative midfield players in the country. “He believes he is the manager who can bring out the best in him, and would relish the opportunity to throw him a Premier League lifeline.” Edited June 14, 2015 by Isa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was reading a few Sheffield Wednesday forums and it seems Pulis was after that Dielna guy in January, the vast majority of Wednesday supporters don't rate him it seems.

dudevillaisnice Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Too slow, not efficient enough. Gets exposed and leaves the team exposed with his lack of pace, doesn't have an effect on a game. Wouldn't even contemplate signing him on a free transfer after the shocking season he has had. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Medhi Benatia only around 3/4 tears ago, nobody really wanted him and his other clubs didn't rate him in slightest he already had a bosman move to Clermont Foot (their fans didn't rate him) then a year or so later another bosman to Udinese.. Show's that some defenders can turn it around and become world class like in Benatia's case!! Never seen Deilna play so can't really judge, but miracles can happen Edited June 14, 2015 by Villan4Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I have it in the back of my mind that we were linked with Dielna or with another Weds player in a recent window. I could be right I could be wrong. Does it ring a bell with anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanO Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I don't usually comment much in the speculation as I'm as far removed from being ITK as is possible. Normally just enjoy reading but farrrk me this so is depressing. I can see why Richards on a free could be worth a gamble but the rest of the links are bloody awful, not one of them sounds positive. I just hope Sherwood isn't the pratt most people believe he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I said it a while back, but whoever Tim wants to bring in we should wait to see how they perform in a villa jersey before making any judgements. He knows how he ultimately wants his villa to play, we don't, and he'll know the kind of players he needs to make it happen. I'm not going to, and I don't think anyone else should, preemptively rubbish any signings before they play and we see what he's got in mind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway so many links in only a week so i think the muppets at the papers are just throwing names around.. hoping one will stick eventually.

We have done it with every manager before him and some have changed the style of play, I don't see why Sherwood should be any different; if anything it should be the opposite considering the lack of transfer market experience he has.

Supervillan78 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 IMO Huddlestone's apathetic performances were a big part of why Hull got relegated in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
