Losing Hughes wouldn't hurt quite as much now though. Dont get me wrong, I'd love to see Taylor and Hughes both stay, but the realist in me thinks that TTA have to balance the books at some stage.
I keep thinking back to what SC said in his interview on LW. He was calculating the worth of Hughes for the rest of the season. After tomorrow, 21 games left. If Hughes picks up 3 more bookings (a given) then that totals 10, automatic 3 game ban. That leaves 18 games left. As he goes for free at the end of the season, a £400,000 offer works out to him potentially costing us £22,000 a game....plus his wages.
It's a tough one to call.
