Of course. Not Hughton. The players. The signings. The January window. The 38 matches. The squad.
Nope. None of that.
But definitely
The dates we bought our players in the summer transfer window...

We'll let you limit the aspects that can be discussed, should you wish to determine some out of bounds.

Have we made a couple of 15M+ signings that I've missed or something?
How can you criticise Hudds' signings when it has all gone quiet over here, quiet at least up until the rumour we might be signing one of their former loanees who they passed up for another?
Signings in the window to date in and out
Plus significant loanees such as Abraham and free transfers.

maybe so, my point is that there is not such a big difference in what out top and lower earners make, compared to what Hudds new players are earning.
You expect a difference but i suspect there are players at Hudds who are on a Fifth of what some of the new earners are on, thats hard to manage.
I was chatting with a Danish acquaintance of mine yesterday about his view of Martin Braithwaite (with whom we were linked) and the subject of this guy and Hudds interest in him came up, this was his assessment:
"He has been a great defender in the Danish league, but that is largely attributed (imo) to him clearly playing on the strongest team in Denmark. In Huddersfield he will be put under pressure he is not used to at all (not even from København's stint in Champions League). While he is definitely not Bendtner, he does suffer from the same misconception of high confidence vs actual skill. He won't make Huddersfield any more likely to stay in the Premier League"
In case you think I'm making this up, it was in a group chat that [MENTION=13055]Ninja Elephant[/MENTION] is also part of, so he can verify. [emoji106]

So he could quickly go from Zanka to Wanker

I think it all comes down to the manager and while Wagner appears to have one or 2 funny traits NOBODY should ignore his record. He has taken an average club into the PL and did that without wasting money. Mooy was as integral to the team as Stephens is to ours and at £8-10 million a good price. Ince is a risk but if he regains his form /is played the right way he will be an asset to their team and would have liked to have signed him. The other signings look sound. Personally feel that whilst they might have had something to make up on us last year they have now leaped frogged us in terms of squad changes.
Oh for sure, all our signings (and current players) are going to take some work to get up to the standard required for PL.
On the flip side, a Copenhagen fan had this to say about him:
"If you are able to land Zanka (that is what we call him; what everyone calls him; what you should call him) for £2 million, it's a proper steal.
For a long time, Zanka has been one of the biggest profiles and best players in the Danish Super League. He is without a doubt the best defender in the league for several years. And he was on the Champions League Team of the Group Stage. He was on the Danish team of the year. And he was among four nominees fur best Danish player of the year.
Zanka is a natural-born leader, athletic AF, and he is the personification of positive arrogance, something that will diffuse a calmness to all the teammates. He is vocal, fast, strong, and he is brilliantly tactically and brilliantly schooled. Some people mention everyone hates him. That's not true. Every fan from every other team than Copenhagen hates him; we, however, love him. The only player we love more is Thomas Delaney. And even though most people hate him, there is an unanimousness that he is entitled to be so irritating because he is so damn good.
Can he make it in the BPL. You never know. But I definitely think he can. He has everything it takes.
If you land him, you have made a real scoop"

It's bizarre, I've seen the argument that Huddersfield getting their business done early let's their team "gel".
Somewhat ignoring the fact our team has been "gelling" for 12 months and we finished above them....so we had a better team. We had NO loan signings in out starting team last year.
Huddersfield had FIVE. That's five players down before you even begin. No wonder they have signed people quickly.

You can inform him that only 3 teams have, so far, brought in more players than us.
