It depended where you lived. In Liverpool it was Keegan. I thought it was St. John.

I think some on HOL are seriously underestimating Hughes. He is a fine player, and alongside Gallagher will very much improve our midfield i.m.h.o.
Jackson.. Wan Bissaka.... Sansom.. Nicholas.. Cannon.. Guehi.... Zaha... Thomas.. Byrne... Holton.. Rogers.. that should do it.. |

I was hoping this was dead in the water but looks it might be "resurrected" now. Edited by viveasheagle (24 Aug 2021 9.23am) Also someone who doesn’t burn the candle at both ends.....

In any event, he may not be the most exciting transfer prospect, but I see him as strengthening our squad at a reasonable cost and likely to be a regular starter alongside Gallagher and A N Other in midfield, at least until Eze is fit. Edited by doombear (24 Aug 2021 1.31pm)

Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

Hughes is abit like a younger version of Mcarthur which we need. He is not flashy but does the simple things well and is a consistent performer and team player who will add depth to the squad

He is not flashy but does the simple things well and is a consistent performer and team player who will add depth to the squad Having watched the game against Brentford it's also abundantly clear that Kouyate is and never will be comfortable in possession when receiving the ball from the back. He got caught several times in dangerous positions. Hughes apparently shifted to a more DM role for Watford last year so I'd certainly feel more comfortable with him in there if we are to continue to adapt our style. I wouldn't mind also getting in Lewis O'Brien as competition for Macca and Gallagher who'll both require rests through the season due to there non- stop style of player. I admit it's unlikely we'll get both however... but we can dream. Edited by samprior (24 Aug 2021 3.07pm)

Hughes and O’Brien would provide the energy to suit a high press and the bite we’ve been missing. Like you I think both might be beyond us this window.
