Hughes/Torquay 11:14 - Sep 5 with 1526 views | Sharkey | The TWTD take on it (Torquay sent him back) is tougher than the EADT's, which says that Town 'recalled' Hughes. Either way, it seems harsh that he can't play competitively for anyone at all until January. Reminds me when I used to play hockey (badly) in Lancashire, and sometimes we'd get players who were serving bans from playing football at all levels. |  | | |  |

Feels odd for a club that have a commitment until January, presumably very small financial one but you would've thought they might have kept him as an option. Must be really unimpressed for some reason or another. Sacrifical lamb perhaps from a manager desperate to send a message to the rest after a poor run of form. |  |

Seems almost like 'restraint of trade'. Can't really see the thinking behind the rule that would stop him now going on loan to, say, Braintree or Needham Market. |  | |  |
Hughes/Torquay on 11:22 - Sep 5 with 1390 views | PhilTWTD | Just had that clarified. Was initially told not until January but there is a 28-day clause in the Torquay deal which means he can go to another National League club on loan in five days' time, so not quite the blow it might have been. |  | |  |

Can't say I know anything about the situation other than he was simply told he's no longer required, but I don't expect you're too far off with that. Hopefully he gets something sorted elsewhere, as Phil has just put up on twitter, as he really does need a run of games. Both Morsy & Aluko went to Probert in the summer and said they should've offered him more than 6 months as they were both really impressed by him in training. |  |

| They'd all laugh at me if they knew what I was trying to do. To create a new strain of super-wine in half-an-hour with a fraction of nature's resources and a FOOL for an assistant. 'Bernard Black, he's mad,' they'd say, 'he's insane, he's dangerous.' Well I'll show them! I'll show them all! | Poll: | Who should start in CM with Cajuste? |
