Lighthouse Posted 4 July, 2012 Share Posted 4 July, 2012 I think Huddlestone might have had the same problem as Lee Holmes, they both played too much too young whilst at Derby. Both were pretty much first team regulars at the age of 16/17 under Burley. Burley has a bit of a habit of doing this, I remember he played Bale until he was knackered in the second half of our playoff season. Then when he went to Spurs he picked up a few injuries IIRC.

Thats harsh on Huddlestone. He has played well for one of the better Prem teams and before he got injured made a couple of England squads. He is having a good career bar this injury. Holmes isn't.

No names until I'm ready to write it. Alan Nixon @reluctantnicko @adkinsisourking Both central. Young. Very good. That's all about keeping your options open to be honest. It doesn't mean any deal is less likely to happen today, than it was yesterday, it just means that we aren't hedging our bets and are working on alternatives should these not happen. Sensible way to work and do things, and I'm pretty confident that there is a hell of alot going in behind the scenes. Not sure why people seeem to think we're doing nothing just because there aren't any rumours, which is really surprising considering how we've acted over the past few years - signings happen that are out of the blue alot of the time.

I'd argue that there's a very strong correlation between clubs that make appearances in European finals and 'big' clubs - moreso, perhaps, than average attendances or similar vacuous measures.

SuperSAINT Posted 5 July, 2012 Share Posted 5 July, 2012 Mackie isn't really a striker. He's been very good. Would be just like QPR to get rid of him and replace him with an overpaid ego. Would be delighted if we benefit from that, but still seems unlikely. Just asked a QPR supporting friend about him.... On Mackie, there's no way I can see QPR letting him go. He only signed a contract extension a couple of months ago and came runner up in our player of the year. I think it's a bit of lazy journalism because the full article said that as we bought in Johnson and have Zamora & Cisse... and that Mackie has been pushed down the pecking order... But since he's signed for us, I've never once seen him play upfront. So as I see it, he will still start right midfield ahead of Wright-Phillips. He's one of our best players, I would be devastated if he left... But I wouldn't read too much into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
