I think we need to find the next generation of Delaps, Huths and Whelans, rather than trying to get them back.

They’re welcome to him. I’d have him for his character but his playing days are long over.

I said a week or so ago TP would be all over him so it's not a surprise to me.

I would be aghast if we sign him. I mean, I love the guy and appreciate what he did with us when he was here, but mid-30 somethings who never had pace in the first place is not the direction in which we should be going. We need a re-build and a new philosophy to go with it and take that into the Premier League in 2019 or 2020.

Loved Huth, but no to a return from me. Huth and Ryan now, not enough pace as a partnership now, sadly.

Huth's time has been and gone.
Absolutely love the bloke. He would walk through walls for us but theres no way he's dislodging either Ryan or Bruno from that starting XI imo.

If he never had pace in the first place, what makes you think he’s got worse since last time? Isn’t pace first to go? So he’s just the same but with better positional sense and more experience...?

If that was relevant, Teddy Sherringham would still be banging them in. Age and injuries take their toll irrespective of what pace you did or didn’t have in the first place.

Backwards, we need to move onwards and upwards. Huth is yesterdays man, a great player but we need younger faster stronger fitter

I promised myself i wouldn't be sentimental this season about who we should sign, its not whats needed so as much as i love the guy he's not whats needed in my eyes although from a dressing room point of view he'd be fantastic. Tough one

But the poster said pace is his issue - which it didn’t used to be. But you suggested he was just the same (as he was) but with better positional sense and more experience. With age, you don’t just lose outright pace, your reflexes go, maybe even your anticipation and focus, and you can’t turn as quickly. All sorts of things start to pack in. That’s why Crouchie is a bit part player now, rather than a nailed on starter. As others have said, we don’t want Huth or Walters, we want the newer, younger versions of these players who can do us a top job on the pitch as well as being great in the dressing room.

You might be right in much of what you're writing here, but I need to correct you on one thing. A lot of people have got the impression that Rob Huth has/had no pace, but in fact he was the second fastest player in the German squad way back in time. So when you say never had pace you're wrong.

In his day one of the best stoppers in the Prem., tremendous partnership with Ryan, great servant for the club, but time has caught up with him and Pulis can have him. When did he last play a competitive match?

Agree he’s probably not for us but the key for me here is what’s the truth about him and McNair did we ever want them , were we not that bothered , were we out sold by Boro , If is the latter it’s the first real concern of the summer , possibly a comment on Rowett and a test of his faith in the commercial team .its not that big a disappointment but how we resct Is key , the players come back Wednesday and we’ve an awful lot of work to do in the market .

He will be a outstanding defender still at this level I admire your loyal support for Huthy, but he is now in his mid-30s, was always on the slow side, and hasn't played competitively in ages (like Wimmer, Berahino, Bony, etc.) I am a strong believer that players do not generally "come back" to the same level of performance after they have been out of the game for an extended period. I think our experience in recent years with players who have been injured or sitting it out for long periods, has shown it is not the way to go.

Pity he's likely to return to Middlesbrough though, especially as they seem to have beaten us to the signing of McNair We move on, maybe Badou can be persuaded to stay? Unlikely I know I'm confident that Rowett is making plans for several options, just like every other club we won't convince all of out realistic targets to sign for us

Would be interesting to see how good he is now. Never say never. No one predicted him to be that good at Leicester, did they?
