Not spoilt at all Doombear i am realistic and realise the club does not have a bottomless pit of money. We have several midfield players already, Luca not played yet, Olise and Eze when fit to comeback in. I really want them to focus on a striker if Beneteke gets injured as every chance his track record not great, leaves us with Mateta and Ayew!!. If that 6 milion or 10 million whatever it is spent on Hughes is the difference between getting a decent goalscorer and not i know where my money would be spent. I like Armstrong who went to Saints and although not proven has masses of potential and wouldnt go the extra 5 mill.

Totally underwhelmed with this, i hope i am proved wrong but always felt a bit lightweight. We need a striker in before the window closes top priority Watford are a team of thugs. This lad is a bit different. Can put it about when needed but also play the dainty game. I say give him a chance and we may be pleasantly surprised.

If we're playing 5 at the back with a midfield of 2, you don't want Jairo, Schlupp, Kouyate or Luka alongside Gallacher. Currently it's McArthur and Gallacher, or we'll get overrun and not have the distribution. If Gallacher is injured, you don't want to be playing a midfield consisting any combination of the others - we saw last year how bad it was -we can't keep the ball. After this season, there's a good chance we won't see Gallacher again. Hughes is the first central midfielder we've signed for about 5 years that offers something different. At £6m and 26 years old with experience, I really don't see the issue here. I agree, we have never replaced CABAYE who without doubt was a great midfield general linking the defenders with the attack, his precision eye when passing a ball through the eye of the needle and his lethal midfielder strikes is something we have missed since he left us and I just hope that Hughes can a least fill some of CABAYE attributes and give us that edge in midfield therefore I wish him the best of luck, assuming of course, that we get the deal over the line which just seems to take ages at CP compared to other clubs!

Seems like a lot of the fans from Hertfordshire's version of Brighton are pretty disappointed to see him go, or in denial that he has gone to us. Neat and tidy footballer. Will help as string more that two passes together. Only £6m. They are behaving in the typical way fans do when their best player decides to get out, he is a very able player who certainly will help us string more then three passes.

He’s probably a cabaye type player. We’ve missed someone like this to keep possession and pass.
