I'd like to see Emnes and particularly Graham at our club. We would be a play off force with those two additions.

Wages!!!!

Refer to Nobber etc re the danger of paying excessive wages.

You do not have to spend big (see Hugill, Robinson) to sign someone who can score. We have tried gambles like Cummins, Little, Doyle, Makienok, Beavon to name but a few recently and not a single one has worked to the extent of doing the job they were bought for, namely, to score some goals.

I am sure that by offloading Beckford (OoC), Lindegaard (OoC), Makienok (end of loan), Doyle (not good enough), Pringle (not good enough) and Baptiste (injured, end of loan), that we will be saving some serious serious coin.

We still have the Bailey Wright money (I hope), the 2nd payment of the Garner money to come plus money raised / saved from the above.

I would try to get the following.

McGeady (Loan or Perm)
Browning (Loan)
Striker (whoever that might be)
Keeper (this a tricky one, is it a youngster to compete with Hudson for the bench or a Senior Pro to compete with Maxwell? Option 1 is cheaper).

Have I missed anyone out?

What about Declan Rudd, 3rd choice at Norwich and currently on loan at Charlton. Could be a cheap deal to complete and we know he is a reliable keeper.
 
My original topic post said “Hugill is a donkey” and the admin on here changed it to just Hugill.

I stand by the orig topic heading and he showed last night everything I watched him do in a PNE shirt.

✌️✌️✌️😂😂😂😂😂 to you that think he’s a good player!!!

£10 million 😂🍺🍺🍸🥂🤣🤣😂

Showed today exactly the type of player he is. A lumbering clueless donkey of a player that's got lucky with the goals he's scored so far this season.

Apart from the classy goal he scored around 2 months ago, he is crap.

His ball control, heading ability and winning of 50/50 headers is easy pickings for Championship centre halfs and even the clueless Moushinio(or whatever he is called) will probably not have an easier opponent all season.

I have trusted Grayson with his decisions, but to continue with 'Dobby' is proving a little frustrating.

Que the Hugil lovers!!

He has had a better career than I ever had so good luck to the guy. He is what his is and he needs a team playing to his strengths. He didn't do half bad last night, creating space for the whippets who couldn't finish.
 
Always been a marmite player ain't he.

My opinion is that he is a rather limited player. But if played in a system where those lmitations can be utilised, he can do alright. But those teams / managers / systems may not always be avaliabile to him and thus, he'll struggle.

As for how much we got of West Ham for him, I am still convinced that was Moysie's doing. Moyes knew Hugill would be leaving PNE and also knew he'd probabaly get the sack from West Ham (he did), so thought f**k it, i'll spunk some money for North End's benefit before the P45 gets posted out 🤣
 
In the right system with the right manager in this division he will score goals.

Neither of those apply to us though.

FWIW I didn't think he was as bad as some on here made out. No world beater absolutely but as above if a team plays to his strengths he will get a few.

He’s already played for 7 clubs in this division and I don’t know how many more managers. Yet he’s only just got into double figures twice in his career. So I don’t think the evidence really supports your statement.

To be fair though he's not played regularly since he left us.
