The manager has got this one very, very, wrong. Not a lot you can do about it though when he's got so much other stuff right. Every manager, even the really good ones, have moments that leave you shaking your head and chuntering 'what the fuck are you thinking' to yourself..........and this is definitely a 'what the fuck are you thinking' moment. That all depends on what happens over the summer in my view. He sent Huth out for games which he wasn't getting at Stoke. He looked well dodgy against Wrexham and with Shawcross and Muniesa looking pretty solid it was clear that Huth wasn't really going to get much of a look in. The injury situation and the subsequent form of Wollscheid had obviously made that decision look ropey, but if we're going to take Hughes at face value then the decision can only be evaluated come the start of next season. If Huth is back at the club and is a major part of our first team squad then the decision will have been a good one. If he's out of the door permanently and Wollscheid is his replacement, well... I think we've been led up the garden path a bit on this one dave. Huth's tweet when he left and subsequent comments from Hughes and another 'Bowenism' tell me he isn't coming back.

If MH thinks Wolly is the answer to replacing Huth then he can think again!

I think he's as good as already gone as well and the question now is, "what is he worth"?

I think he's as good as already gone as well and the question now is, "what is he worth"? On current form twice as much as the German we are playing, overall 3 times more big mistake if we let Huth go and keep this imposter.

If Huth comes back Ryan gets dropped, it looks like there is only room for one of that type of player and Huth is better, He isn't though Huth, as a old fashioned, hard man, intimidating, crunching tackling and power heading center half is far superior than Ryan.

If MH thinks Wolly is the answer to replacing Huth then he can think again! If Hughes pays more than a tenner for Wolly he wants his head reading, simply not good enough started badly improved slightly now a liability, his lack of pace for a 25 year old athlete is fucking frightening, his temperament is very suspect, he is as weak as the proverbial kitten in short he is not fit as a defender to lace Huths boots, I like Hughes he has done a fabulous job overall but he is wrong on this one massively. I do not buy into the plays the ball out better from the back shit, he is there to defend to win the ball and give it simple to a more creative player simple really.

As a partnership they compliment one another, Ryan has not looked the same player with Wolly alongside him, there is little understanding Ryan is not sure as to whether he should stick or twist with the milk float next to him.

They compliment each other really well. Both hard as nails, know each other's game inside out. Ryan has more pace and brings the ball out from the back better and Huth will make us a more solid unit as he is prepared to put his body on the line and loves defending.

Spoke with Kevin Phillips in pub yesterday and asked him about Huth, he said Huth was the model professional and playing brilliant for them, I asked about whether they would sign him and he said he would like to. Then asked about Huths' knee injury and if he still had it, he said Huth was big and strong but the knee was for the Physios to decide on. Obviously nothing done yet so have to wait for summer. On lighter note he said regarding Pearsons interview after the Chelski game that no one took mickey out of Pearson as he's a big guy but the leicester chef put Ostrich burgers out for lunch the following day...quality

We were crying out for a Huth thread. Can't believe it has taken so long for someone to start one

Yep, and I remember in Drogba's first year in the Prem Chelsea fans crying about how fucking wank he was. It does sometimes take a while to kick in! H Those blind  Chelsea fans who lived in a cave on the moon? Had a real good return in his first season and also had an injury and pretty sure they won two trophies. Didn't do bad at all Well id be pretty pissed off with 10 league goals for 24 million quid in 2004. Whether he was out for 2 months or not. My point still stands that sometimes it takes players a bit longer to settle in the Prem. I still reckon Huth will be back at Stoke next season. H

I knew we'd miss the bruiser. Said it was daft and premature at the time. Hes been very composed on the ball for Leicester. If they stay up (which it looks likely now) der huth will be paying for my next vacation. Love that true centerback.

If Huth is moved on after the impact he's had on Leicester's season it'll be a very bitter pill to swallow. I know who Shawcross would prefer alongside him if asked. In Hughes we trust though, I suppose. If he's shifting Huth this summer I really hope a new centre half is on his shopping list - we have decent players in that position, but no one as rock solid and reliable as Huth.

I've not seen any evidence that Wilson and / or Woolie are close to forming as solid a partnership with Ryan as he did , that could be down to our style changing but we do too many daft things defensively these days

I really don't think Huth has a future at Stoke with Hughes preferring a more mobile, passing CH. Pity really that Wolly has blown his chances over the past few weeks of getting a long term contract as he's shown in several matches he's certainly got the ability. For sure. Huth has never been the best passer of the ball although a good defender. Someone needs even geekier glasses to see that. Can see why Hughes is looking maybe for a new CH but not Wollscheid

Can't see coming back here, I don't reckon Hughes likes him. Problem is he wouldn't start and if he wasn't playing regularly his injuries may come back or may not be fit enough to play after a while on the bench. I haven't seen him play for Leicester so I can't comment a lot but Hughes knows we are missing his presence so I'm sure if it's not Huth then he will try and get someone in similar, hopefully not Wollsheid.

I understand the idea that it is good to have defenders who can also play the ball out with a deft touch and a bit of subtlety but the worst of all worlds is a defender who thinks he can play a bit when he can't. Much better to have a defender who knows the quickest to Row Z than that lethal scenario.

Laurel and Hardy. Morcombe and Wise. Ant and Dec Reagan and Carter. Holmes and Watsom. Cheech and Chong. Pinky and Perky. Tom and Jerry. HUTH and Shawcross

He has been brilliant for them and is the big reason behind their great form. A giant and leader in the defence and makes players around him better too. Morgan and Wasilewski looks like Premiership defenders all of a sudden. Sureley we want him back playing next season? When he's fit he is top top quality and miles better than his countryman Wollsheid. Does anyone know when his contract expires?

Leicester fan here.
Huth has been fantastic, yes we've still conceded goals but he can't do it all himself. When he plays the people around him are so much more assured. Gone are the stupid mistakes we were making every week that were slowly killing us. Now we have a ball magnet in Huth who ends up on the end of everything and a man who has transformed Wes Morgan from a joke (to the press), to a decent centre back.
It's not just him though, we've gone all out attack. That has really turned around our game, the wing backs we play are no longer right backs and left backs but wingers with pace. We've also started playing Vardy who the opposition have found almost unplayable at times.
100% we will bid for him in the summer, I could see Pearson building our defence around him and being our main man. It will be down to him if he wants to be that man, or someone who might not be a starter for you guys.

Our defence hasnt been anywhere near as good since Huth got injured. Now he is back to match fitness it seems right for him to join Shawcross again and push us on even further. Wilson is ok backup and Muniesa is emerging and longer term will be a threat to Huths position but the manager needs to admit defeat on Wollscheid and put Huth back in the team.

If Begovic really is leaving then I'd be starting next season with Huth and Shawcross at CB, even if it's a short term arrangement for next season only (it is possible that Huth may only have a season left in him as a mid table Premier League player).

Huth's last 9 full games with Leicester, won 5 drawn 2 lost 2, bloody ell we would be totally mad to let him go, we need the wall back in the heart of our defence!
