What Now For Huddlestone?
My, the hardworking folk at The Mirror have been a busy lot this morning; none more so than resident ink-slinger, Darren Lewis, who’s been cooking up a spicy bit of gossip concerning that of Liverpool Football Club and one Thomas Andrew Huddlestone. Despite the Merseyside club having more central-midfielders than I’ve got angry red letters from the council- not to mention Liverpool’s position as ‘direct rival’ in the hunt for those precious Champions League spots- the story’s author seems fairly determined to make it stick.
The line goes that the husky England man has fallen down the pecking order in recent times- what with long-term injury, the emergence of Sandro, Scott Parker being all brilliant and whatnot- so far, in fact, that he may find first-team football rather hard to come by once his return is made and ankle declared ‘not buggered.’
I’m inclined to stick to my guns and say it’s pure toilet. But it does raise the question as to what Tom’s future will hold in the coming months. Huddlestone’s a marvellous player but what’s the likelihood of him thinking ‘balls to this’ and looking for employment elsewhere if he’s sitting on the bench week after week? People have walked for less.
And in news of a less trivial nature. I’m sure you’ll join me in wishing a hasty recover to Harold Redknapp, whom is set to undergo minor heart surgery today. Terrible business, that. Rumours abound, though, that he’ll be back to work within a day or two. They don’t make ‘em like that anymore, eh?
