If we want to be in and around the play-offs next season we need a few quality signings . All well and good being fit and playing the pressing game, you also need quality to make things happen. Other teams are cottoning on to improved fitness levels and adapting their styles accordingly. We can't afford to stand still.

I thought he was awful today! cant believe so many believe he had a good game. Incredibly one-footed, kept fouling and must have given it away a dozen times.

Huws looked as sure footed and committed as have seen for a while ,do you think we have a cat in hells chance of him signing ? I don't profess to be as techcnically gifted as you boys but I just don't get him? Can I have a better explanation of what he brings and will bring us

On today's performance I would say no, although a decent player he's not worth spending big money on. He had an excellent game today. Exactly the type of signing we need. If there's a deal to be done at Deano's liking we should be snatching their hand off. What about the other games he has though? For the position he plays he's not enough of a game changer to justify ANY transfer fee for me. There must be lots of similar, decent, won't let you down but wont really excite you type of players available for free. In that Oliver Norwood or Scott Arfield genre of player who are worth absolutely nothing but you wouldnt mind having them in your team.

Classy player who is likely to go to a bigger club. Would love it if he came here as he is above the level of all our squad (excepting the enigma that is Lynch) but accept that there are bigger clubs who can pay higher wages and he will follow the money

He needs far too much time on the ball. Huws is a big presence in midfield... a young, Welsh international who is only going to get better and better. He'll go to a bigger club than us if we are unable to do a deal.

huws is a good player, but not one worth breaking the bank for.

Played well at Blackburn, too. So that's Hull (played well), Blackburn (played well), Rotherham (wasn't played), Birmingham (played well)... where's the inconsistency? Throughout the season he's been a bit hit and miss after a great start here. Would be our record signing if we go for him, not sure he's been that good, just cant see it. QPR nailed on! Obviously you can't ignore the goals he scored at the beginning (!!!), but I genuinely think his overall play has improved since the start.

For a £2m investment I think that he would be a great acquisition.
He still has huge potential to kick on and develop further and I could see us selling him on for a greater profit in the future.
The only stumbling blocks would be that maybe he would be a blocker to billings development but we need a squad of players and whitehead isn't getting any younger...
Also his wages will be an issue...so it ultimately depends on how much he wants to sign for town and the size of the pay cut he is willing to accept.
We will be a weaker side without him IMO.

Huws will get another club and in his wage bracket, the fact he's likely to play some part for Wales in the summer will push his value up to what he wants.

It's catch 22, isn't it? Play Huws and you halt Billing's development... play Billing and we are a weaker side, IMO.

for the money he would cost I think we can get a better player. Huws is ok, looks busy and runs around a bit..but does he provide that 'something' extra ? He's quite aggressive, which I like..but for me just lacks guile at the moment.. Anyway, it looks like it's a no go anyway and I'm not distraught he'll be returning to Wigan. If we're going to elevate ourselves to a top 10 club we need individuals who have that something extra.

I would like Huws to stay, whether we could afford him is open to debate though it does seem at the moment that he is going to be moving on. Situations can alter quickly where transfers are concerned and I would be very happy if Huws were to sign a contract with Town as he certainly has potential to be a very good player and in the process make us a good profit were he to move on.

If it's going to be so easy to get a better player for the amounts being quoted, then Huws shouldn't end up costing that much either. If you mean an overseas player, well that obviously comes with more risk of failure for a number of reasons. I also think you're wrong if you're suggesting he's quite one dimensional. Yeah, you'd allocate that tag to maybe Whitehead and definitely Hogg, but for a holding midfielder Huws clearly has more to his game. In fact, I'm baffled to a degree I can't believe we're talking about the same player!

I would like to see us sign a holding midfielder that isn't scared of getting a shot in. We can overplay it at times when a 20 yard effort is the better option. Hogg, Whitehead and Huws don't seem to have that in their locker so I think we need to sign a holding midfielder who has a few goals in him. I know Billing can do this but someone with more experience than Billing should be a replacement for Huws.

I suppose if Huws does come, his development might take longer but we all know that DW likes rotation so might be not so much of a problem. OR as has been reported we sell him for mega bucks and reinvest back into the squad for the coming season. More players breeds competition.

Huws played ok yesterday I personally think Kyle Dempsey deserved the man of the match. Thought he was great attacking and defensively today

Given they'll be in the same division, I doubt Wigan would sell him for what we'd be prepared to pay

I recall one particular incident where the ball was knocked to him and he crossed it straight into the box and thought if that had been TS he would have taken a touch first before crossing. I see that DW also feels that could be his natural position but I did like him in that role with Hogg/Whitehead and Billing but I know nowt in comparison to DW about football. On the other hand if wants any advice on bribery and corruption within business!!!!!

Dempsey saving Town a bit of money with that performance.. between him and Smith now for the RB slot.. might be just what Smith needs because I rated Dempsey yesterday..
