Always been a niggly opposition player that I’ve disliked when playing against us. Probably the type of player we need and will become a fan’s favourite. It’s a YES from me :-)
Sometimes we just have to accept reality which is that we don't have the kind of money that will enable us to fix all the positions which need fixing with the calibre of player we'd like. I believe Hughes can do a job for us.

Shaqiri would be affordable and do exactly what we need from midfield. Can't believe we haven't made an offer!? Perreira would be great, but too expensive. Shaqiri, at 29, offers us the stop gap we need until the youngsters progress. Hughes is nowhere near the level we need.

Not to mention the fact that while he has undoubted quality with the ball, when he hasn't got it he doesn't go chasing it.

I know some people won't like me saying it but at present Hughes is an achievable target, Shaqiri is unlikely to be. Edited by doombear (18 Aug 2021 6.45pm)

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!! |

Palace has put in low ball offers with a few players that are in last year of contract and then gone on to either get them free or pay a little more. Will Hughes for 5m would be a bargain I expect the true figure would be 7m if we land him this window. Some one saying go for Shaqiri they are crazy he is a completely different player (not in a bad way I do think he would be very good if we could get him but it's a fantasy also wouldn't be good business) who Based on past dealings with Liverpool he would end up costing around 16m and has far better options then Palace also his current wages are rumored to be around 90,000 a week not including bonuses for a 29 yer old this is not the direct Palace are going towards.

I agree, £7m would be about right, no higher. Of course Watford may be reluctant to sell to a club who potentially could be relegation rivals.

For me the question is whether Hughes is a better central midfield option than others in our current squad .
