dudevillaisnice Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Tim Sherwood has added a second Hull player - winger Robbie Brady - to his list of summer targets. Aston Villa boss Sherwood is keen on midfielder Tom Huddlestone and wants to further exploit Hull’s relegation to the Championship by pinching Brady too. The Tigers are open to offers and newly-promoted Norwich are also plotting a move for the 23 year-old. Brady has made 124 appearances for Hull since joining from Manchester United after initially impressing on loan. The Irishman featured 38 times in all competitions for his club last season as they were relegated from the top-flight. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-transfers-robbie-brady-5894627 This has got to me some troll move by The Mirror. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post joey55 Posted June 16, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2015 I can't believe you lot are complaining about signing Tom Huddlestone. We've (Spurs) have just finished 5th and I'd take him back in flash. You were hoping to sign Tom Cleverly and are disappointed to be signing Tom Huddlestone! You are all in for a very nice surprise if you sign Hudd. He's in a different league to anything you've got now. I know Delph is in the England squad, but that's due to a shortage of his kind of player. If you liked Gareth Barry, you'll be delighted with Huddlestone. And don't worry about his apparent lack of mobility, as his ball winning stats are always fine season after season. You certainly don't need to build a team around him either. He's perfectly capable of adapting to different styles. With him in the team the tempo at which you play will dramatically rise. Whilst he isn't quick, his movement of the ball is. The ball will be moved from side to side much quicker and things will transition from the defense to attackers much quicker. I suspect Tim will after Lennon as well. I'm sure there will be lots of moaning about that, but Huddlestone hits diagonal balls better than anyone, so you need some real pace out wide. If Huddlestone and Delph play 30 games together next season, there will be no relegation battle for Villa. Top 10 or maybe higher depending on who else you bring in. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dounavilla Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Intresting take, no disrespect but did you say the same thing to the Hull fans ? I'm not completely against us signing him but I think we could do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 So he never showed any of this at Hull (or Spurs for the most part) but he's suddenly going to turn it on here? Whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I think Huddlestone a good player myself and a very good passer of the ball but he is just a bit static and lazy. Better passer than what we have in midfield and probably be best passer we had in midfield since Barry and could be a huge advantage for our attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey55 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 He's was probably Hull's best player last season. The reason they went down this season wasn't to do with their midfield. They didn't have any strikers. The blew their money on Hernandez and Jelavic missed half the season. If Hull had Benteke do you honestly think they'd have only been 3 points better off?

dudevillaisnice Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I suspect Tim will after Lennon as well. Considering how we setup, I don't see it. Also another pace merchant for me with again very little end product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also another pace merchant for me with again very little end product. But how you set up was dependent on the players Tim had when he arrived. He loves Lennon. Tim was always a big fan of Townsend and loved the idea of his academy players establishing themselves. But even so, he always picked Lennon for the right wing, as he wanted his work rate and defensive cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you but i still wouldn't take him here, he's not mobile enough, we need a bit of dynamism in midfield, he wouldn't provide that in my opinion, he was terrific season before last though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Huddlestone is a decent player, he was liked at spurs however he was buggered by injury and I'm not sure he has been the same since. He certainly has an excellent range of passing, I wouldn't be too unhappy with him and Brady. Huddlestone is nowhere near as bad as some people make out IMO, it would be a safe rather than spectacular signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I really hope Tim doesn't think building a team of Spurs rejects is the road to success for Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
