jacketspuds Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I would rather we signed Huth than Terry. Huth's physicality would be excellent in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it would be nice to get both him and Terry as undoubtedly Chester will get injured soon and we'll end up with Keinan Davis at the back alongside Jedinak.

Mazrim Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Huth rather than Terry? Not for me. Terry is not only and always has been a much better player but is a true leader who offers as much off the pitch as he does on and we really need that. Having said that, I'd take Huth rather than nobody. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is nowhere near fit for us True, and we obviously wouldn't sign him if not fit enough. Just that if he was I think he'd be a better option. Just to be clear though, which I'm often not, it's like 51% / 49% in favour of Huth. Deep down I really don't care as long as it's not Jedinak.

I suppose there is not a lot of choice left if JT is not coming and we do need someone from somewhere now as a matter of urgency. We could and have done worse.

I really don’t know about his fitness, he’s not played for a while but could still be peak fitness? Or is he too long in the Huth? Surely two-three weeks would get him sharp and match ready. He is a very good CB, him and Chester could be very good together potentially. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Huth who will take about 2 months to be fit and hasbt played in god know how long. Lame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadken79 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 To be left in this position ( transfer market closed, loan market closed and out of contract players our only option ) is unforgivable. I wouldn't start a season in championship manager with only one recognised centre back. WTF is Bruce thinking. Should be sacked on those grounds alone. Pinning our hopes on a 38 year old to bail us out !! Its laughable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoughboroughLion Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Absolute shambles. I categorically fail to see how anyone could prefer Huth or any other ageing cb to Terry. If we sign a cb of Terry’s ilk, having clearly declined the opportunity to sign Terry, it’s nothing short of a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry wins in every department apart from being a big lump. I get the feeling Huth will be as successful as Samba, in that we might see a couple of games from him before he gets injured for rest of the season.

wilko154 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Huth would certainly do a job for us, he's big and physical. That alone is the main reason we are playing Jedinak there currently as Chester is not that type of defender. Huth will obviously be a lot more comfortable there as he has played at centre back his entire career. I don't understand why people are saying he is past it, he won the Premier League two seasons ago. Granted he missed all of last season, but if he passes the medical and can begin full training straight away then he should get up to speed fairly quick. Obviously between Terry and Huth there is no doubt that we should have tried harder for (or be still trying for Terry). His fitness is less of a gamble and he has the added benefit of being a dressing room leader, something we seem to be missing this season. I honestly can't believe that we have let the centre back position get into this state, and I also can't believe we haven't resolved it with free transfer early next week to get them up to speed ready for the games to begin again. It's a massive oversight by both the club and Bruce and theres no doubt it will end up costing us even more points this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I would also bring in both Huth and Collins in this scenario. Maybe sign Collins till the end of the season and Huth until January when we can sort this mess out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’ve answered your own question. I’m not saying Huth won’t do a job - but he’s a big, big risk. Terry is/would have been a risk, but a suitably manageable one for me. Huth would be similar to Samba I reckon - maybe slightly better - but still not automatic promotion material. Having said that, Huth will likely go some way in offering that intangible side we craved from Terry. Not to the same extent, but my Leicester pals suggest he’s a big influence in the changing room.

I don't think he's such a risk if there's no-one else to sign. Either it works or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
