Lees has many more strengths than he has weaknesses. He’ll be an excellent acquisition for Huddersfield. I agree, just saying that we do know what his weaknesses are so should exploit them.

That’s like getting burgled 10 times and picking the 1 thief out for praise cos you forgot to lock the back door and he didn't have to break a window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now all Hudders need is a kit to fit muscle man Lees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashamanic Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I can't imagine the West Brom fans are too happy about this. They have to be wanting to go straight back up and Reach shouldn't be anywhere near a team chasing promotion after his performances for the past couple of years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonLeon Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Like others have said wouldn’t have thought he’s recovered from his injury yet. No pre season either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This.. without doubt Lees is the most nervous player I’ve ever seen with the ball at his feet, to pull on the Wednesday shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably so . .. however some players thrive with quality around them on the pitch . That’s not happened in a while at S6. Just like you’re average bloke in the street , all footballers deal with their situation differently to the next person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerson Thome Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Huddersfield's manager used to work for Bielsa and has been trying to get them to play that similar, play-out-from-the-back, high pressing, hard running style. Fine players as they are in a system that works for them, I don't see how Tom Lees and Jordan Rhodes would fit in under these plans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we've been making some very charitable donations to their retirement funds for several years now based on their performances! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to some things I've read from Huddersfield fans, he doesn't have a style of play. From what I saw last season of them they were very lucky not to get dragged into the bottom three. Lees seems to me to be a bit of a desperation signing for them. They let Stearman go in the summer and Lees is no better than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendaryswan Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Without Loovens to hold his hand, Lees just looks standard, again its symptomatic from the recruitment room,that they never identified a suitable improvement on him and many others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Funny one udders. Read the other day some super computer had them as one of the favourites to go down. Don’t know who else they have signed, but Lees and Rhodes are a big gamble. IF their manager can get them playing it’s two really good signings. If they get the two players we have had for the last two years they are in big trouble. Would be nice to wave to them as we sail past them next season though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAWAWUTO17 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Tom Lees was the one player I was gutted that we couldn't keep. Massive servant to this club and wish him all the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, despite early promise, Reach proved a massive let down - not fit to lace Brunt’s boots as the phrase goes. He’s bound to catapult them to promotion now I’ve said that!
