New Defender

[abebaby]

Just seeing that Leicester have recalled defender Sam Hughes from his loan spell at Salford. I seem to remember his name being mentioned on here in the past. I was just wondering if anyone thinks this may be a possibility for us. I'm not even sure if he is a central defender or not.

He played CD for Chester FC at The Bank.

 

[Davidimp]

We've been linked with him before

 

[Binghamimp]

He has not been starting for Salford mainly sub in last month

 

[Davidimp]

His career has stalled a bit of late, maybe Appleton can get it going again?

Definitely a CB, big and strong and I think out of contract in the summer so wouldn't be surprised to see us sign him permanently. MA will know.him from his Leicester days, been unlucky with the odd injury but was highly thought of.

6 foot 5 I think so Notty would be happy!

 

[nlondonimp]

his deal expires in the summer, so could be available now to sign permanently - rather than a loan, which would mean six loans for us. fits the the type - younger, quicker, centre back we could well be looking at.

But is he any good, can he play out from the back as MA wants them to or is he another, what shall I do with this bomb at my feet player.

His Leicester profile suggests he can also play midfield so that suggests some degree of comfort on the ball / passing ability.

Thanks Skip

Left sided, I think?

Natural replacement for Shack, then.

Seems like a good fit.

 

[Luke Imp]

Presumably MA was at Leicester when he was?

 

[Impish]

Left sided, I think?

Says on the transfer market forum he is right footed, main position as CB but also as a defensive midfielder. No idea how accurate these sites are.

I’d take Pearce off Mansfield - he can definitely play higher than league 2

Shacks to move into JAMIE`s old coaching role?

Pompey showing interest in this lad currently,could be a fee for him.
Leicester paid 100 k i think

Maybe, but he’s been part of a Mansfield side that have Mansfailed for the last three years, despite all the cash lobbed their way. Not got the minerals?

Lols - people said that about Walker. Remember there are 11 players in a team
