    Jordan Hugill is the striker in question who we could be signing.
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    The flip-side, of course, is what Sully said happened with Carvalho, where there was too much posturing, everything was left too late and we missed out on him.

    Anyway, all seems moot now as the latest 'news' is that we actually bid £16m, which for me is a fair offer to get the ball rolling.

    ;hmm

    Source was same bloke who mentioned the permanent striker signing.

    3 goals in 11 games for Preston this season. Surely not. ;hmm

    We can't, there aren't enough beds in the sick bay.
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    Jordan Whooooooooooooo?
  • McHammerMcHammer
    My mate a Preston Season Ticket holder when asked is he any good?

    "Plenty of Preston fans think he is, personally, I think he’s vastly over-rated. He’s a battering ram and not much else. Honestly don’t understand why we don’t cash in on him. "

    Song - I'd take him in a heartbeat. Pure class player.

    I heard we're re-signing Carlton Cole
  • alderzalderz
    I thought Song was rubbish in his second season with us and doesn't warrant a third

    Going in insultingly low just seems to me like a complete waste of time and an ego thing.

    If you know a club wanes £20m, maybe they £16m and some bonuses or a player exchange. Then work your way up.

    You don’t go in at £10m.

    It's nothing to do with ego. If there are no other offers you'd have to be off your rocker to pay whatever they ask straight away.

    Fair enough if they've had offers of £15M plus and you go in with £10M. Then it's pointless and derisory.

    If they've got no other offers than who cares what they value the player at. The player is worth what somebody will buy them for. At least try your luck low and then edge upwards as it progresses.

    Sky saying Jordan Hugill on his way to West Ham now.
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    Hope he doesn’t know the way, having said that Moyes ex Preston so maybe he has some inside knowledge

    (Inkersol)... goes to all the pre/post match conferences so id be pretty sure he has contacts at the club.

    He might want to get some better ones, then.

    Why?

    Things change in football. Almost by the hour. Doesn’t mean his contacts were wrong originally with the info they supplied him.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    So 51 new posts, nobody signed, one #fakenews on twitter.
  • TheMadcapLaughsTheMadcapLaughs


    Looks good to me.

    A big strong, mobile lad.

    ;wahoo
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    The report says we pulled out as we don’t have a replacment - why would someone who doesn’t play in the first team in the league need replacing?? ;hmm

    Well, some 40 mins between his tweets.

    Did he say it was a new, higher bid, or that his first tweet was incorrect?

    Never heard of Hughill but I had n't heard of Antonio until we signed him either
  • McHammerMcHammer
    My inside man at preston

    "Looks like I might have been wrong, Hugill to the Hammers looks like it might be happening. Palace supposedly interested as well though.

    I’m really struggling to see why a PL club would be looking to buy him. More money than sense. "

    I want Smalov

    BBC Deadline Day ticker says we've agreed a fee of between £18m & £20m with Swansea for Andre Ayew.
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    19 then alderz I’d have took ten
  • alderzalderz
    Personally I would not sell Ayew unless we had a replacement coming in (unless Mario was the replacement ;hmm ).

    This Hugill chap hasn't been mentioned anywhere on the BBC thread, for what it's worth.
  • Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_MoyesJorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes
    If the Hugill transfer is actually true, to me, it's the kind of signing I think fits with Moyes whole vibe and ethic.

    He will hopefully be bursting at the seams to prove himself and grab a chance he will never get again.

    Moyes is building an earthy, hardworking side and this kind of signing and character might appeal to that much more than somebody who could be using the club as a stepping stone or as a payday.

    Some of his goals in that video are decent, too.
