Demitri_C Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 You surprised people are turning their nose at hugill. He was very good at a poor Preston side. Very good at this level. Yes please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has scored 16 and 25 goals in his two seasons in the championship. Am I missing something? He is facing a battery charge in Las Vegas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I was surprised that West Ham signed Hugill and the step up hasn't paid off yet. I think he could do a job for us this season but would doubt a loan can be agreed for him or for Powell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had 2 comfortable seasons in Championship since promotion and just missed out on play-offs last season, hardly poor though Hugill has a Gestede like record except for one season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Powell still only 24 and was a step above any Wigan player when they went down but seemed to be injured a lot. We could do worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skarroki Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) fwiw with Hugill, I watch a lot of PNE games as my family supports them and couldn't believe West Ham bid for him, let alone for the sum of money they offered. He didn't really suit Alex Neil's style and I've just never thought he was very good at all. They have better options up front now since he's left, I don't think he'd do well for us. Needs feeding the ball in the right areas a lot of the time although he does use his strength well against defenders and is deceptively quick. Would rather have Hogan if that gives you an idea of how I rate him. Edited July 30, 2018 by skarroki Talking about Hugill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 2 lads I always think do well at Preston, Callum Robinson and Daniel Johnson... Also their new signing Graeme Burke is doing well in pre-season... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 On 30/05/2018 at 11:23, Tomaszk said: We should be going for Jordan Hugill on loan from West Ham. Or even a swap with Hogan if they'll bite. Only reason I mention that is because they were linked so heavily before we signed him. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11685/10743373/west-ham-still-looking-to-sign-scott-hogan-from-brentford http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4129118/West-Ham-make-breakthrough-striker-Hogan.html https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2017/jan/17/west-ham-strikers-david-sullivan-gold-simone-zaza-scott-hogan https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/12/31/west-ham-transfer-news-shane-long-brentfords-scott-hogan-alternative/ I think Hugill would be useful! Suppose it's important to see what's happened to him having gone from one of the first names on the team sheet to hardly making the bench at Wham from Jan onwards.

Also surely Mendes must do what’s best for his players. Not for any particular club. Finallly I don’t think it’s a bad thing to have local rivals in the same league. Competition is healthy and it’s good the for region. Ok - working with Mendes - but who the **** tells him what POSITIONS we need cover for ?.... It don’t work without input from Bruce. Who at the club “is working with Mendes” ?????? Edited July 31, 2018 by SirSteveUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're joking, but can you imagine getting Tekkers on loan for a season. He would be fantastic leading the line and probably get us promoted, and keep Bruce in a job. #Bring him home Edited July 31, 2018 by ferguson1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I've heard that we are taking the Wolves approach and working with an agent to bring players in to the club. The problem is that it's Steve Bruce's agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
