Hume on his way?

[Father Ted]

The arrival of Howard and Hayles, I think, pretty much confirms he'll be leaving

No it don't.

Give me a D

Give me a I

Give me a S

Give me a C

Give me a O.........

Were you the one singing that on Saturday against Charlton in F1??

The great Massimo Taibi has played in the Premiership.

Does that mean he's still good enough to play for Man Utd?

Im not saying that Hume is rubbish, but that is a silly arguement - i think Taibi played once after his great 1st performance, whereas Akinbiyi and Benjamin had at least 3 seasons in the Prem between them.

:laugh: I know it was - but you cant just say that X is better than X because he's played in the Premiership.

No, you cant no, but people do

(I know it is frowned upon)

Someone on football rumours reckons Hume is going Fulham for £4 million!

Hahahahahahahaha!!! That's brilliant!

[MPH]

dont want him to go but if we get 4m for him ( which we wont, its absolute tosh that story) then it makes the 3m for Fulop an absolute steal...

[Jack]

I think we'd be lucky if we got anymore than a million for Hume tbh, let alone 4 mil.

[TrickyTrev]

I can't believe people want to sell the only player that has scored any goals for us over the past 3 years. I imagine Holloway plans to use Hume as a winger, he has payed quite a lot left midfield recently.

People don't mind selling our most promising youngster either for a cut down price, you'd think we were blessed with talent

[Tommy G]

Hume gets praised for his effort blah blah blah but that just isnt enough for me. I could play for city and give 150% each week but you have got to have the quality to back it up, and he hasn't.

He's had his time here, now its time to go. talk of him going to a prem club is an embaressment, he would seriously stuggle. He could easily bag 20 goals a season in League one, which is where he should be talent wise.

I like Hume, I think he is a battler and as you say gives his all in games. I also think that he has a lot of quality, a great touch, exceptionaly brave and one of the best players at the club.

The issue really is that we havent had a manager use him to his best potential, Holloway also favours him on the wing for some reason. Maybe that might change if we actually buy some wingers??

I think if the price is right £2.5m + then it might be worth moving on but for any less whats the point, we are only going to replace him with a similar standard player.

Your probably right, we need strikers that can give us 20 goals a season - Hume just doesnt give that, and thats what he is paid to do. We havent had decent strikers since the Dicov/Bent/Ferdinand days

Hume has had his chance to show us what he can do, thres been glimpses but not on a consistant basis im afraid.

Lets see how he plays when (gulp... IF) we sign any wingers and midfielders.

He might be a 20 goal a season striker, he just hasnt had the support from his team mates to prove it.

Having said that, if we are offered stupid money then it would go to rebuilding the side which would not be a bad thing.

Hume is paid to score goals, he's not necessarily paid to score 20+ goals a season. Strikers don't get paid to do that, that's just an annoying phrase that the media and fans alike use to describe a desired quality striker. Compared to any other striker we've had in the past few years, Hume is the only striker here that has earnt his wages at times.

You'll not find too many strikers scoring 20 goals a season, i'd be amazed if there's any more than about 5 striker sin the whole of this league that scores that amount this season.

But if Hume continues to everage roughly about 15 goals a season over a 45 game period (1 in 3) then fans would be fookin morons if they were to suggest Iain Hume isn't good enough as a striker at a crap club like Leicester.

He's had a poor season so far by his standards and he's still scored 7 goals in about 20 league starts this season and i'd say a third or more of those games he's played in midfield.

One thing Hume can't be criticised about at Leicester is his scoring record, unless you live in a dreamworld.

[mancunianfox]

Well he scored fifteen goals last season, we have just signed Howard who bagged 19. We have three goal scoring defenders in the side and if we buy some midfielders who are going to chip in with a few goals (for a change) then we will have plenty enough firepower with a Hume/Howard partnership.

[TrickyTrev]

So other than being our hardest working player, the one with the best touch, vision, dribbling ability, our top goal scorer, genuinely versitile, penalty and and freekick taker, flair, ability to spot and execute a pass e.t.c what we are saying is that Hume doesn't offer enough and furthermore that we trust Holloway to sign someone who offers more for a couple of million. I see your point.

Thats a damn good record.

think he'll be playing on the right with a new left winger hopefully.

FlairFlair is right.

Anyone who picks a fight with FlairFlair is picking a fight with his right hand man (me).

Fryatt has the best touch, vision and dribbling ability of anyone in our squad. He is much better technically than Hume which is why his goal scoring record is frustrating.

Hume is better in the air, better at striking from distance, good at tracking back, can take set pieces, more determined and has scored goals for us consistantly. We cannot afford to loose him at the moment.

No chance.

They've both got good touches, Hume is a decent footballer - just because he works hard doesn't mean he's got no first touch. People over-simplify his ability to come up with reasons why our attack doesn't score many goals.

They're just a bit too lightweight, inconsistent and slow to play together as a front pairing unless you have a midfield laying chances on a plate for them week in week out. I think Howard and Hume/Campbell is the way forward. Fryatt has too many limitations to be even close to effective in a team with no midfield.

Not sure if your just looking for an argument for the sake of it here....

I never said Hume has a bad first touch or ability. Imo Fryatt is better technically but Hume offers more to the team and has been more successful in front of goal. Fryatt's ball control in the last few games has been exceptional but at the same time its Hume who has been finding the net and always doing more than what is expected of him. I also agree that Hume/Howard is the way forward.

[Bert]

Can't see him being on Roy Hodgson's radar. But would consider an offer of 2million and John in exchange?

No thanks.

You really, really are an idiot. I couldn't help but laugh at this.

I was only really quibbling with you on the idea that Fryatt has any sort of vision. The rest of it was just a general rant.

Fryatt's technical ability boils down to excellent close control. That's about it. He's missed so many good chances this season that people are starting to finally, and rightly, question his finishing too. If he could shoot from distance we'd have a decent player on our hands but he can't. His close control is only useful when there's a chance he can get in behind the defence like Fulham away and Derby at home last season. The vast majority of it though is done from deep where there's little threat and he ends up shooting poorly from distance.
