Hugill scored 4 in 36 for Norwich, 1 in 20 on loan at WBA and 4 in 18 on loan at Cardiff. Hardly a striker that "carries a goal threat".
As a link up player, he might be something we need, but I remember being pretty annoyed with how few Fletcher scored (12 in 72).

If he can create chances for others it hopefully won't matter how many he scores, very different I know but Sidibe didn't score all that many, it's what else he may bring to the side, maybe it'll add some sort of ballance to the forward options. |

Yeah, sure. And also in his favor is this quote from Daniel Farke: "Hugill was a key player for me... I don't just rate a player because of his minutes and his impact on the pitch. You don’t win a title or promotion just as 11 players. A leader in our dressing room and one of the main topics why we were promoted". |

Leader up top + Target man who can hold ball link up play and get the best out of Ty, Gayle + Brown = Hugill Leader/captain at the back = Bentley Leader in the middle/defence mid = ? Pearson ? feels like almost a plan coming together |

But that period just before Ty got his injury, our forward line was flying, the partnership between Fletcher and Campbell was brilliant, it didn't matter that Fletch wasn't scoring, because of everything else he was doing |

Am I right in saying abit of a Grealish light? I’d say that’s a very good way of describing him. No mention of Stoke interest anywhere looks like his destination is Rangers. I hope the AN factor can steer him our way. Maybe he needs a change of scene and someone like Neil to twist his head back in the right direction. An on-form Cantwell would be terrific for us. I would go so far as to say that an form anybody would be terrific for us. It would certainly make a change. |

As a link up player, he might be something we need, but I remember being pretty annoyed with how few Fletcher scored (12 in 72). He did score 13 in 39 for QPR three seasons ago though. I don’t think Norwich and WBA are good reflections as he obviously wasn’t first choice striker at either, and most Cardiff fans actually say he made them a better side with his hard-working, no-nonsense approach. I certainly don’t think he should be considered a first team regular for us, but would be a good option against teams with big, strong defenders or off the bench when we’re chasing the game. |

Been saying for a long time Hugill is exactly what we need If he is what we need we may as well pack up now. Journeyman, slow, no ability on the ball Typical signing of bottom of Championship side or League 1 set up May therefore be what we need if we are settling for that |

To be fait to Hugill, he's had virtually no minutes in the clubs where he's been recently. www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jordan-hugill/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/291544674 minutes (so about 6 games at Norwich) 1000 mins at WBA In his last full season in the Champ (19/20), he scored 15 at QPR. And we know he's performed a key role in a Neil team that won him a £9.5m move to the Prem and glowing praise from Neil. Is he perfect? No. But we've got to acknowledge the financial pond we're able to fish in unless we sell Souttar, and he would hopefully be a hard-working foil who did the ugly stuff none of ours can do. Not that there's even any link to him at all! |

Strikers generally don't disappear in their late 20s and then suddenly come good at the same level in their 30s. |

So if he does sign, where does Stoke's confidence in him come from? I'm not part of the recruitment team, it's best to ask them 😂 Maybe you should be. |

Cardiff fans were generally positive Fair point, but not sure there's definitive proof he's washed up though. He's just been starved of minutes. He's only 30. And he's never relied on pace in the way Gayle has. Of course the danger is if he's Vokes Mk II. But a loan 'til the end of the seaosn wouldn't break us in that way And the market we're fishing in for that type would be really shallow as can be seen with loads of Champ names being linked |

I also remember at how many inexcusable sitters Fletcher missed. A needless rebona attempt at reading being one. |
