Originally posted by sotac464 Watford have just signed Ozan Tufan, for 10 million euros, looks like Hughes may well be leaving. That will finally put an end to the annual Tufan to Palace rumours then. Tufan looked very slow and lazy for Turkey and to use a mattteo-ism, a bit fat. Maybe we'll see what we missed out on though. With regard to Hughes, £7m or less for a proven PL midfielder in his prime is surely a good deal? Not sure why he would be so keen to switch Watford for us given our similar standing, but there you go.

Originally posted by PatrickA For me the question is whether Hughes is a better central midfield option than others in our current squad . I would prefer him in central midfield to Schlupp (not a central midfielder) Jairo, the Luka of the last couple of seasons and arguably Kouyate (not the best passer). Hughes has not so far fulfilled the potential he showed as a teenager when the big clubs were circling him, but he’s only in mid twenties , has a decent skill set in terms of passing and tackling. He also is fairly mobile and I could see him working well with Gallagher and Mcarthur. We know what Our present lot bring, Mc,Arthur, still has a part game in him. But we shouldn’t wait until he drops to have him covered , and a 26year old with the experience Hughes has must fit . Luca, is getting older also, and Gallagher, is not that likely to come to us for peanuts, unless he has question marks over him at the end of season, something I hope will not be the case. There is no doubt there might be better players out there , but he should be in our price range, and he is at least as good as most of what we have.

Impossible to know the truth of that. Parish, doesn’t make a habit of publishing his offers for players,. In any case put like that ,that’s not a first offer, it’s a final offer and not likely to be done in that way for a player you actually wanted. Just watched Bielsa, on Sky, say he didn’t think Leeds would be signing anyone else , as prices were to high. Two things come to mind ,one is would that make O,Brian, available to us, if we paid the price?And does this explain Watford apparently over pricing Hughes?

Hope we get him, albeit hes not going to dramatically improve the first 11 imo. Starting to get a little nervous about the quality of the squad, almost in bedwetting territory I know with plenty of time yet. With Eze and Olise our first 11 im good with, outside of that I do think we are struggling as it stands.

Certainly worth having from a numbers perspective to boost the squad size….will he improve our first eleven…not in my opinion.
