I think the club needs to learn from Payet and Arnie and sell when they have highest value.
If I remember correctly (and I might be wrong) we accepted a big offer from PSG for Payet and he turned down the move because he only wanted to go to Marsielle.
Re Hugill, personally think the only person to blame is Moyes, a big favour to his old team, IMO....was never good enough, and he just wanted to help Preston out....That's all IMO of course!
Not of course his fault but Hugill is right up there amongst the most ghastly signings this club has made in recent times. Even with the benefit of hindsight this was signing was as puzzling as they come. If I was to be generous I would say he is bottom third of champ standard at very best. My guess is Pelle will be giving him game action in this pre-season mainly to make sure he is in tip top shape for when a club (hopefully) comes along and takes him off our hands.
You reap what you sow, on this occasion I think the club / Admin / PR have clearly understood the frustration and disappointment from the fan base, after he basically got taken back and accepted again in January, second chances and all that.....
Fool me once......
He can go and rot in the China Sunday league for all I care, counting his money......zero ambition from what could and should’ve been a top professional.
Italy's Corriere dello Sporte reckons Fiorentina might be interested in Hernandez although their director of sport Daniele Prade has said that he's not looking to make any deals before 10th August, the day after the English transfer window closes.
The Italian transfer window closes 18th August and Serie A season starts 24th August.
Principally I guess it is good, but more important (for me) is that the windows shut at the same time across Europe. Because you can see where it is going if indeed a bid is made for chicha only after the English window closes.

That story was going the rounds a couple of days ago, and would rather seem to be trumped by our most recent reported bid.
