Thinking in the Parker and Sandro thread about how the team will mainly set up, unless we're having it pretty bad with injuries and players out, there doesn't seem to be much room for Tommy all that much to be honest. I feel that's a great shame as I really rate Huddlestone. What I don't get is why we are bidding loads for an out-of-contract Gary Cahill when we potentially have a great centre-half of our own already in the big man.
He's young, he has the size and strength, he can play the ball really well and has played there quite often in the past when stepping in to the role seamlessly. Apparently there is a need for a centre-half at the Club, too. In the long term, if King isn't back to getting the majority of a season in and with Gallas at 34, we'll potentially be left with Kaboul, Caulker, Dawson Bassong and Huddlestone in defence (providing Seb stays). That's not bad if he trains there and maybe gets a chance in the side there at some point. He could stake his place for a role there. I think Hudd is capable of being a versatile, yet potentially very important player for us.
I hope he can make the transition as he a player I like a lot but if not I don't really see him getting much of a look in here games-wise barring an injury crisis. I think he's better than that and will most likely look to leave after too long. Who knows, eh? :shrug:
