Don’t mind the idea myself of the experienced head in with the younger players, same as McShane last season.

Good. Play him in the De Jong role and use the cash to sign a DM and a RW.

Probably my only memory of his career was an absolute beauty he scored for Spurs at City about 15 years ago.

Man had an utter bullet of a shot. These 18 year old keepers are going to have broken scaphoids.

That 6-0 hammering has really aged him.

Never have a problem with stuff like this. He could turn out to be a great coach/asset.

It did work out very well with Paul McShane apparently. Think this only gives guidance to the kids.

Only thing I really remember about Huddlestone is him not getting a hair cut for 30 months after vowing not to get a hair cut until he scored a goal... He did raise a fair amount for cancer research though. So good on him for that.

Wasn't he one of the infamous "cake boys" at Spurs?... in that he used to stuff himself with a large piece of cake at halftime.

Why are we signing random underachieving players to coach our players again? What is happening? Tom Huddlestone? Why do we need him to play for the u21’s? What?
Why not Steven Sidwell? Or Steve Lomas? Is this some sort of a money laundering scheme? What the feck is the point of all of this?
Why can’t we do things that make sense for a change?

What a load of nonsense, come on guys… ffs

Liverpool have done the same thing by signing up former player Jay Spearing to guide the younger players.



Jaysus.... that's what he looks like now? Life has been tough on him since that 10-12yrs ago when they had hopes for him to break through. I guess it will be good for the scouser kids to listen to his stories and learn from it.

Christ on a stick. This isn't new.

We brought back McShanne last season to do exactly the same thing.
