He's a lot more than a grafter to be fair.
He's improved immensely over the past 12 months since he became our main striker and he's turning into a hell of a striker. Absolute beast.
Not saying 8 million isn't ridiculous because it is. But at today's prices he is in my eyes worth at least that!
8 million is a huge amount of money for us but in my eyes Hugil is vital to how we play. If we have serious ambitions of reaching the play offs this season then we need to keep him.
And I think the board are looking at it that way too looking at how we have performed these first 5 games. There...
No your not right. Was Reading :fing:
Scoring 2 is fine when we have only conceded 1 goal in 5 games that being a penalty. Not bad considering we have played Reading Sheff Wed Middlesbrough Leeds and Derby in our first 5 games :gr:
Is it embarrassing making comments like that whilst your sat only 2 points above us in the table?! And spending over 40 million in the process.
Whilst, like you stated, we have a random lad up top who used to play for Port Vale:fl:
By saying I think we're good going forward?!
Sorry for getting a bit excited by our squad this season. Average age of 23 last week and the first 2 home games I have witnessed we have played both Reading and Sheff Wed off the park.
Only a few years ago we were getting smashed at home to...
I genuinely thought we would accept around the 6 million mark. Fair play PNE for holding out. Let the bidding war commence. I've resigned to the fact that he has probably played his last game at Deepdale for us though :conf:
I'm quite aware we have only scored 2 league goals but we should have scored at least 4-5 last week at home against Reading.
And the other home game I witnessed Sheff Wed we should have won by a bigger margin again.
So I stand by what I say. We look good going forward this season from what I...
If we get something here I might genuinely believe we can push for top 6.
We played class last week but Middlesbrough away is a different ball game. 2-0 Boro
Id keep same team and go at them. We have the firepower to go for it so feck it why not.
Hows John Terry looking?! Was thinking you would be tough to score against this season but doesn't seem to be the case at present!
I've got you backed to win League on my Acca so pull finger out for feck sake :crazy:
12 months ago wasn't arsed one bit about Jordan Hugil, could have left for free and I wouldn't have batted an eye lid.
Now we're turning down 7 million bids for him and I'm devastated to think he's going to be gone by end of August :dk::eyes:
Anyways. Thought we were fantastic all over the pitch today and can't quite believe it was only one.
Hugil is getting better by the game. Top class debut from Harrop, such a tidy clever player. And defence looks rock solid. To be sat 7th in the league after those first 4 games is ace
I was sat on the Town End and thought it could have been a red. I love the guy and he was absolute immense today but he does need to chill out a bit!
He doesn't need to fly into tackles. He reads the game better than anyone ive ever seen in a PNE shirt. His hassling and intercepting is enough...
Wouldn't be against lining up like that as you say extra protection without Pearson. And really think a pairing of Hugil and Maguire could be lethal up top.
Just can't see AN changing formation
Pearson a huge loss for us and unsure who will step in for him.
Really think we can get something out of the game tonight. Going for our 3rd clean sheet in a row and either 0-0 or 0-1 with a last minute Tommy Spurr header to win it.
How's Nugent getting on for you? Absolute loved that guy at PNE
Wednesday played exactly same as last season. Absolutely woeful.
PNE were class second half. Thoroughly deserved win.
Hugil had a huge impact off the bench.
Maguire had a cracking debut.
Spurr came in and was solid.
Cracking display.
UTW
Feck me what a long summer.
Our attacking options look exciting this year and expecting big things from both Maguire and Barkhuizen. At the back very concerned.
I think we can win this. 3-2 PNE
Barkhuizen Maguire and DJ
Always a good atmosphere with a sold out Kop. Roll on Saturday
Can see why people think we will struggle as Grayson was a huge part of our success. Wouldn't surprise me to see us in the play offs or in a relegation dog fight I really don't know!
I think Cardiff Sheffield Utd will have good seasons and challenge for play offs. Think Leeds might struggle
