Hughes signed

he looks happy enough to be playing for us if you check the os.

Hardly writing him off, as I said just a tad concerned about the comments

He's had a right touch getting himself a 2 year deal at 33 in the current economic climate, so he must be well thought of.

A John Robinson replacement but defensive rather than attacking - sounds promising.

Shall we watch him before writing him off?

Spot on Clem , they probably knew he was going , question is will he be better than Simon Francis?

can he be any worse ???????

You say that Golf , but some on here do rate him  .... i'm not sure where they are ... but they do rate him.

im sure hughes will be good to have around the squad and then he is playing seems he would try to help the younger players around him! say if we went a goal behind he would stop them getting there heads down! and he works very hard and is hole hearted in tackles which was our complant about francis and mcoxo not doing so!

One of the comments on the previous page said he swore on the pitch once - let's hope he doesn't f***ing post on here.

Now that's funny.

its the rest that dont ;-)

Seems to have done a decent enough job for Leeds and should hopefully provide valuable experienced cover. Still think Solly will probably start on Saturday though. As the season unfolds with injuries, suspensions, and loss of form, the team we're envisaging now wil probably change considerably and he might yet become a regular later on.

A mate of mine who is a Leeds season ticket holder told me he's his favourite player of the last decade.............and he's a right fussy bleeder. (we can still say bleeder, can't we?).

Strength in depth is a necessity - it will a) make for good competition and b) ensure we don't go in to key games significantly weakened. Yes it may be hard to keep some players happy but it is a problem succesful clubs have to deal with and far better than having no competition.
