So no-one said that he's rubbish then?

Do u not read these pages? 
Rubbish a bit strong but he gets his game over analysed and ripped apart to a ridiculous extreme on here

Exactly

I do read these pages and I don't recall anyone calling him rubbish. People have pointed out the weaknesses in his game which is fair enough as there are some.

There is n fair enough.its funny really because all last pre season n generally all yr I said I'd of started Azza n benched danny to maximize his strengths n minimise his weaknesses n here I am going into bat for him cos I feel it's overstated on his weaknesses n understated on his strengths imo

So he's another player wasted and ruined by our useless succession of coaching teams just like Horne in a way

Perhaps. Although it's not easy to teach someone to make good decisions. The best in the world just naturally have it.

Good coachin should of made both players better. Instead they stagnated and with Horne took abuse for not being a world beater and now Houghton who's possibly jumping ship even though he loves FC but realises that he can only possibly achieve success elsewhere

Houghton gets criticism from me because he simply makes the wrong decision a lot more often than others. He'll give it to anyone who shouts on last tackle instead of looking for his halfback. He rarely steps out of acting half to pass, instead passing from the floor. This enables the defenders to get 3 in the tackle more often than not. If he stepped out and engaged the first defender we'd get more wins and it would speed our play up.
He has a lot of strengths too. Although he does it a lot less nowadays, his scooting is still top drawer and if he spots a gap he's at it. He has one of the best kicking games for a hooker in the league and his defensive stats speak for themselves.

Houghton to Leeds? Burrow in part exchange? On both counts its extremely unlikely and I don't think it's happening.

Burrow can't be part of any part exchange deal as he is out of contract at the end of the season.

He could if it happened now though

Personally I'd prefer we kept Houghton but brough Burrow in for next year too. Start Burrow and bring Houghton on for extra pace from the bench. Also if Rankin goes Burrow would provide much needed cover for the halves.

Bring Houghton on for pace??? Lol

The only rubbish being talked is by Houghton fanboys who seem unable to distinguish between valid, measured criticism and a player being 'ripped apart'.

Neither do I Wilf !! I made it up

I meant with his scooting runs

On par with Roby on pace from dummy half IMO.

That's all he is on par with Roby.Houghton is in the top 3 hookers for defence...down at the bottom for offence.

I'm amazed we haven't heard more about this

Well said!

Me too. REALFCFAN needs to post a link.

Ha now that's rubbish. If you think a lot of what danny Houghton gets on here is 'measured' then we must both have trouble with distinguishing what's being said at times.
Go far enough back I've been critical of danny at times n I've always held back from getting carried away with him.
To be fair I'm judging a lot on what I've read on social media as well.
Although just a rumour some people were advocating selling Danny for Rob burrow. Burrow who isn't a starting hooker. Who misses a fair few games these days n who is much older. Outside of that rumour hooker is a hard position to buy in and danny really ain't that bad!

No.
200 grand plus Burrow is what was mentioned on this thread.
I like Danny but realistically he's not in the top half dozen 9's in the comp.
I doubt we'd need Burrow as an enticer if that sort of money was being realistically offered.
But I doubt very much it is.

As an overall measure of everything they do from hooker name the 6 that are better?
200k is no good if you can't bring better in. Unless something dramatic happens I can't see any real decent hookers available. & I certainly wouldn't want to spend loads on 1 as we've much more urgent areas to fill
