That’s not what I said. I compared Hugill to Sargent, and think Hugill is a better option than him. Ideally I’d want us to bring someone in that could do a job better than all our options. Which you know isn’t going to happen because of money. I find it baffling in the summer we didn’t prioritise that position, heap praise on Idah only to not play him and then bring in a “striker” from Bremen who apparently has “potential” but can’t hit a ball into an open goal… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Numan 25 Posted December 5, 2021 Farke heaped praise on Hugill and then loaned him out. Farke obviously didn't think Hugill was PL quality. I'd rather have hernandez back. Oh, what the heck, bring them both back and keep Idah, then we would be overrun with striking goodness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fuzzar 1,702 Posted December 5, 2021 I can see the benefit of a loan move for Idah, but can't see how we'd re-accommodate Hugill given we'd previously deemed him not good enough at this level. Irrespective of the change in manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ron obvious 1,501 Posted December 5, 2021 Hugill's an extremely likeable bloke but he really is pants. The one thing Sargent's got going for him is non-stop pressing & harrying the opposition. Hugill hasn't got that, & he hardly scores either, so I think I'd rather have Josh on balance. I suppose you could make a case for Jordan coming on late in a game if we're battering a team 😁 but can't put it away. Pretty unlikely scenario though. What we really need for that is a Mbokani type player. Now there was a man who could win a match for you out of nothing ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unique 434 Posted December 5, 2021 With a squad full of players who can’t/don’t score goals, we now have the depressing anticipation of adding to that number…. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He’s young and needs to gain experience and confidence, but he’s still better than Hugill, just don’t get why anyone would want that cart horse in a premiership squad! We do need another striker come January, might be one from our youth ranks who knows if we don’t have the funds! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daisy 137 Posted December 5, 2021 Been told that Hernandez is coming back in January, guess with no money available to Smith he needs all the help the club can give him which includes bringing back a couple of loans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newtopia 517 Posted December 5, 2021 Surely if Onel and Hugill come back they will simply be loaned out somewhere else, they are not going to help our premiership survival battle? I would expect someone else to come in if Idah went out, it will be interesting to see the plan unfold. This is why Webber is there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not the worst idea, when you consider Rashica’s now out and Tzolis is still raw. Plus Onel has Prem experience. Can’t say I feel particularly over the moon about the notion of there being nothing to spend though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thought Idah looked pretty tasty when he came on against Newcastle, but trust Smith knows what he’s doing. Assuming there’s any truth in this of course.

Ken Hairy 3,760 Posted December 5, 2021 I'd be happier with this, Hugill is better than Idah, neither are Premier quality though. Really think we'd need to push the boat out in January for a striker which obviously won't happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty13 2,229 Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) Given Idah is starting today, wonder if he’s being given a chance to impress before January or maybe there’s just nothing to this story. Id rather we spent money in January on someone who’s actually been scoring goals at Championship or similar level on the continent.

Indy 3,286 Posted December 5, 2021 How on earth can anyone rate Hugill above Idah! I know it’s all opinions but come on, at least Idah puts in a shift, chases down and has been played out wide most of the times he’s come on. Smith might just get that bit more out of him who knows.

Really think we'd need to push the boat out in January for a striker which obviously won't happen. Idah is 20 and will hit the target more consistently and is faster. Hugill is 29 and has 1 in 16 appearances in the Championship... As this is from one of the worst sources of "news" in Britain, I'm doubtful this is even accurate. However, I'll predict one thing. If this happens, Hugill will no doubt score fewer than Idah does where-ever he goes on loan to, and then people will bemoan letting the better player go out on loan whilst recalling a "journeyman" over the hill championship at best striker.
