AndyJR 0 Posted March 21, 2009 That would truly make my day, in fact year. The way he was treated in the end was dreadful and despite what some people seem to think, without a doubt he would still be a massive asset to this football Club - or any in the Championship for that matter. Come home Hucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Bates 9 Posted March 21, 2009 He should have never gone in the first place... But if he is to come back, my god i would be delighted... Some attacking flair to terrorise defences again!! Brilliant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Louis 0 Posted March 21, 2009 I might be in a minority here, but I think it would be a bad and expensive move to bring him back.I loved Huckerby when he was here and he is one of my favourite ever Norwich players, but what are the chances of him "tearing defences apart in this division" if he returns? The way he left stank (Roeder!!), however for long periods of that last season here he drifted in and out of games and was inconsistent. I thought at the time it was probably a good time for him to leave. I really think it would be a backwards move to bring him back, though obviously I would get right behind him. I don''t think it would work out.Now, I sit back and await the inevitable abuse - I''m probably in a minority on this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Bump 0 Posted March 21, 2009 Mixed emotions about this onePros- I''m a big Hucks fan and I''d love to see him back in a City shirt againCons- Might ruin his legend status at the club if it doesn''t work out, same as Gunn at the moment.- Paying a fee for a player we (stupidly) released Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ca 1 Posted March 21, 2009 We wouldn''t pay a fee as his contract runs out with San Jose at the end of this season in Oct ( I think) so he could then sign for us in the Jan transfer window as a free agent.Tilly - You know he''s the love of my life [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Huckerby was injured for most of hi last year here and drifted in and out of games at a more competitive level than the MLS... sure thered be the huge pomp regarding his arrival, but if the injuries flare up and he sits on the bench/in the treatment room instead of playing some fans would get on his back for him not being the saviour he was a few years ago...Lets not forget he will be 18 months older and 18months slower by the time next january rolls around since he left the club.... hucks game is all about Pace, he cant pass, cant head, cant tackle... once the pace has gone thats it im afraid and what you have got is a pretty poor player.... i loved hucks when he was here but lets not get all misty eyed about a possible reunion..... lets assess the situation in January and go from there.....it could all end in tears.jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJP 79 Posted March 21, 2009 Would be good to see. He''s a quality player and it''d give everyone a huge boost.Obviously there''ll be a few who will disagree and go against the grain (usually because they don''t know what they''re talking about or because they like to pretend they know better than the rest) but I think the vast majority of Norwich fans would be glad to see him back.Should never have got rid.
