StefanAVFC Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Will Hughes looked good early season for dcfc but fizzled out somewhat I think he'd be priced unrealistically tbh He's 18, it's expected to be in and out of form. The guy has bags of potential. That's fine. I mentioned him on here 12 months ago. Nobody had heard of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) How about Harry McGuire from Sheffield United? He's not very fast so not entirely sure he would make the step up to the prem, especially with our defence being slow as it is, bu Sheffield United have absolutely no money to spend at all and there were a few rumours about a bid from Sheff Wednesday for as low as £900k. He's been touted about in the £3m bracket but I think thats mostly paper inflation (similar to £3m Lowton who was more £900k). We could even try going lower than that supposed £900k bid and then loaning both him and Derrick Williams (They need a CB, and as previously mentioned, have no money plus Williams isn't exactly first in line here and it may help him find a club moving into the Championship?) back out to them for next season? He made the League 1 team of the year in both of the last 2 seasons and has a fantastic mentality, even if that same mentality may mean he would refuse to leave, money for his club + a loan back may convince him though? At 20 he'd be one for the future, see if he makes it and if not at circa £1m we couldnt exactly lose money on him Edited June 1, 2013 by HalfTimePost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent player but i think the Championship is probably his level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mentioned him in December by which time lots of people were aware of him. It was December 9th to be exact 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandaq Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) I knew off him way before that actually. Just wanna put that out there : )))) Edited June 1, 2013 by vandaq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Will Hughes does look quite phenomenal at his age. Even if we sign him for 10 million he will be worth alot more 2 years down the track.Some of us moan when Lambert goes to the lower leagues.. but he would be crazy not to want this kid. Wont be on massive wages.. local boy. Sign him up. Maybe Popov is the back up player if he fails to sign Hughes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I'm gonna put my hand up here and say I've never heard of Will Hughes. Never. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Me either. His youtube scouting disappointing as well. I see some good tracking back and tackles. Aside from that a few completed passes, a few missed. I dont get the hype. Is his workrate amazing or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandaq Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Because the media say so...But I have looked at him a couple of times(not often you get to watch derby play mind you) but he has a bit of flair and you certainly notice him on the field. As far as I can remember he has a pretty good work rate but again, haven`t seen him that much. Even if the hype has gone a little bit quiet on him I still feel like he will end up higher on the table unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caddy Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) Heh, I remember reading the report last night about Newcastle being in on Will Hughes and thinking to myself "10m? At that price, and if he's willing to sign with Newcastle, there's no reason Lambert couldn't pluck him." Sure enough, the rumor mill has already started up. I wouldn't get too excited, though. He would be the perfect signing for us, which means he'll sign with someone else. Edited June 2, 2013 by Caddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 He would be the perfect signing for us, which means he'll sign with someone else. Well, we are arguably the perfect club for him at this stage. As others have said, he will get nowhere for a good while if he goes to a CL club.

Delphinho123 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Read a link on Newsnow (don't know how credible) about us looking at Popov at Krasnodar. Helluva player if the link is credible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People probably said the same about Delph and looked how that has turned out, he did okay towards the end of the season but he certainly hasn't doubled his value. There are no guarantee's with any player wherever they come from and because of that I just can't see Lambert paying the sort of money being talked about for Hughes. The kid does look very good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Sako would be the value option IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Deadline Day @DeadlineDay19m Will Hughes is said to favour a move to Aston Villa. He's keen to remain in the midlands, and at a club with a strong youth policy. #AVFC Will Hughes.... any good? God, yes please! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 He'd be back up to Delph if it came off (which I doubt due to £££) Good prospect ? Any better than Gardner ? Not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambridge-AVFC Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Bannan to Swansea for £2 million is said to basically be a done deal, according to SSN. So maybe Will Hughes to replace him? If we can afford him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Bannan to Swansea for £2 million is said to basically be a done deal, according to SSN. So maybe Will Hughes to replace him? If we can afford him. Hope so. I feel vindicated already. How many were saying Championship team, if he's lucky. lol. There's a great player there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 LOL at that gif. What a stunning 4 yard ball that was. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoD Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Why do you keep using that terrible Gif to show hes a great player :S. At least use the Assist to Albrighton, its pretty much the only quality thing he has done for Villa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
