Transfer Rumour Charlie Hughes (24 Viewers)

[Grendel]

Thought he looked a big upgrade on Kitching. Really noticeable how much he talks and organises as well.

Kitching is fine. It’s Thomas who really isn’t up to it in terms of distribution and positioning

 

---

[Terry Gibson's perm]

We need a replacement for Thomas he gives the ball away far too often

He also gives stupid fouls away that help the opposition kill the game.

 

[Pusb1]

The two times they were through 1v1 first half, it was Kitching who was out of position

Yes looks a very good player , hope he enjoyed his new home today

 

[Ccfcisparks]

He'd pair well with Kitching I think.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

I can’t see us signing him.

 

[Mcbean]

I have to say I never saw a 10 m player in any of their team - they were just big and tall and defended well - we needed to vary the attack - short throw / short corner

 

[Rodders1]

Can we buy a £10m CF/RW instead

 

[Evo1883]

He made 2 great blocks first half atleast and won almost every header it felt

Yes two clear goalscoring opportunities. Score those and we win comfortably.

I like the look of him.

 

[Skyblue54]

Won almost every header..against what opposition?..

 

[peteCCFC]

Better than Thomas and Kitching combined.

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Better than Thomas and Kitching combined.

He may be but he won't be signing for us.

I mean this is pretty much what we want in a CB

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

He looked a decent player but you have to remember the quality he was up against BTA would make Kitching and Thomas look like prime Baresi, I think he could even make Binks look competent.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Absolutrly bossed it. Wow this lad is good. Won EVERYTHING. Made Thomas look shite.

It was his reading of the game and positional sense that most impressed me …..

He looked absolutely giant as well.

Height and build

He did look good but up against Asante most would, we played into their hands and I was shocked Lampard couldn’t see it , the over used long throw and crosses in were easy for their centre backs, and I think it was the kind of game Simms would of been better in.

His best two contributions were against Rudoni

 

[Mcbean]

I mean this is pretty much what we want in a CB

But not 10m I think their valuation is 15 m - incidentally Rudoni worth 30m to any prem team or they can feck off

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

He looked where we'd hoped Thomas would be by now. Not that he was particularly tested, he had one job to do in defending balls into the box and he looked at home doing it.

Though I think it says more about how pedestrian we are going forward, our own defence shits itself when the ball is lumped forward.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Clearly a very good CB with a high ceiling.

Personally imagine we’ll move onto new targets. No specific reason just a hunch based on him playing today

 

[coop]

Won almost every header..against what opposition?..

Exactly fucking worst attack in the league

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Hull has some amazing parts of the city and some really terrible parts. I definitely prefer this to somewhere like Southampton which is just ‘meh’ all over.

Less successful follow up by the Dave Clark Five?

 

[fernandopartridge]

It's tedious listening to every single player we've got being called out as shite, fotmob rated both Thomas and Kitching higher than Hughes today btw

 

[Cally Fedora]

Hughes was OK. But really just did bread and butter CH stuff. He’s not a 10m player and isn’t a huge upgrade on Kitching if at all. I’d like to think you could pick up that type of CH for the championship for 2-4m on a regular basis.

Better than Thomas then?

 

[fernandopartridge]

You've also got to think about the differences between playing as a centre back in a low block and being told just to defend the penalty area and playing in the system we play, where you're likely to be far more exposed.

Some good defending but didn't see a £7m+ defender. And Is I said earlier whilst he played right side, he cut on to his left and played inside virtually every time he got it. It's also easier to defend in a low block, you're facing away from goal and there little space behind to exploit.

I thought he looked decent and worked tirelessly across the back, with some good blocks. I can see why he is rated. However £20m?? NO but whoever lands him will pay in and around £10m if Hull accept, which i think they will have no choice

What happened to the WBA action you talked about ?

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Opinion on Hughes goes back to how much money we have in the pot, wouldn’t want us to spend all of it on him (assuming good as he is imo) and not be able to look to improve our RW and ST

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Made it up

 

[Yorkshire SB]

I thought he was excellent yesterday, had one dodgy clearance when under pressure, but otherwise for a 21 year old looked very good. He was also barking orders at Ajayi who’s 10 years his senior.
