Morepork Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 They are three players we really ought to be shifting so I’d expect truth in that. Before we hang Nixon....Bruce is a shrewd operator, I fully expect us to be the source of plenty of Bullsh!t rumours and distractions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogbad Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Wouldn't be against offloading all 3 but not to bring in Hugill. The 3 of them each had a better goals per minute ratio than Hugill last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazowl55 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 If Bruce thinks this team needs Hugill then I trust his judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stocksyuto Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Christ can you imagine the uproar on here if it was CC wanting to sell those 3 for 1 player . I would rather keep forestieri out of those lot tho I'd be disappointed to see him leave and all the pressure would be on hugill to perform. I trust Bruce to sort it out.

0114 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Would be happy with Hugill, younger type to Fletcher. Pretty certain if Forestieri, Joao and Rhodes all leave on top of Hooper being realised we will see more than just Hugill arriving up front.

Did well at PNE but done nothing since. He did well for 1 season then signed with west ham, that the sort of transfers we need to be making Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 The issue with FF is whether we keep him and potentially lose him for nothing next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 45 minutes ago, Bluesteel said: I like Hugill. Bruce wanted him at villa before West Ham got him. He’s pretty rapid and strong and we can’t rely on Fletcher alone for that role. Hugill was adding more goals to his game at Preston but has stalled since leaving. If we were to move those players on it would be funding an entire overhaul of the team rather than just bringing in Hugill. Middlesbrough fans I know thought he was rubbish.

Haha I didnt even kno he was in the championship last season , not the best stats I think even Rhodes managed that amount of goal with far less apps for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 54 minutes ago, SallyCinnamon said: Same. All three better options than Hugill for me. If we sell all three we 100% need to find a goal scorer. Hugil and Fletcher very similar. Not against selling those 3, but not particularly enthused about Hugil. I agree he's similar to Fletcher and suggests we are lining up with 1 up front, with competition in that role being sought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, cant see us offering him more money unless he has a fantastic season and doubt he would take less. Reluctantly, we might sell to avoid him walking for nothing next year.

Guest wilyfox Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I wouldn't be against Hugill. He's a mobile targetman of good age. Can understand people's concerns re binning Joao & FF to do it though. They are the two in our squad capable of summat special - apart from a long-ranger from Reach of course. Sell those two and replace with Harris n Hugill...we'd have zero flair.

Sunday People - Us and Boro want to bring in Ben Gibson from Burnley. I can see the logic of shipping those three out.. Joao can't be arsed 50% of the time and wants to go Benfica, Forestieri's hamstrings are knackered, he will play a max of 20 games next season I'm sure and Rhodes dosent want to be here and his wages are hideous. Get them gone. Edited June 23, 2019 by Bigblueowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats true, but Bruce will know that too. We have to trust Bruce knows what he’s doing. If we do let Joao go I hope it is too a club like Benfica and not to someone in England Rhodes to Norwich is good, Forestieri will probably have a blinder for someone else next season which will be annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
