Him and Fernandes would be a superb partnership in the middle of midfield.
Do you think it would work?
I have my doubts to be honest. Both are fantastic footballers but defensively they don't offer much. Neither are hardworking, Huddlestone is very static and neither possess good defensive qualities.
Maybe against lesser teams at home we could try it but playing them two consistently together I'm not so sure.
Buy saying all this Carrick and Scholes who in my opinion are similar to Fernandes and Huddlestone look good next to each other. Maybe with a bit of experience they'd work nicely,
I do like Huddlestone though. All he needs is a good pre-season and a run of games. Get him to his peak fitness and in the best shape possible and we'd see the best of him. He can play centre back aswell which is also useful.
I think Huddlestone sits deep most of the time. Thus allowing Manny to move forward. But yes we do need someone who puts themselves about.
He would give us extra height to.
I'm not sure actually if it would work or not, i guess we will have to see for ourselves if both deals come off, i doubt they will mind. I highly doubt we will sign Fernandes, just can't see it coming off.
Huddlestone needs to lose some weight and get himself into the best shape possible like you said, and i doubt there is anyone better then Moyes for this.
Didn't you say Fernandes was coming back?
Which thread in Kipper was this mentioned? I'd love to get someone like Huddlestone in early. Get us ticking for pre-season and bring back a bit of optimism.
To be honest I think Huddlestone would lose the weight and get fit. He lost weight under Ramos in a few months so a pre-season under Moyes would be excellent for him.
I was looking at his stats for last season and there impressive. 28 starts, 12 assists and 4 goals. He's very very creative and a midfielder who can get 5/6 goals a season will be useful. He's definatly a player we should be looking at.
