Neat finish for his goal, but terrible keeping.

Decent noise but fuck all fans there

Think he has 3 goals in 5 games for QPR now.
He can do it at that level and am sure we will find a buyer.

Good for him. Hope he gets his career back on track.

Double figure English strikers in the Championship go for what we payed for him. Here's hoping.
As said, nice to see for him.

Watched highlights, indeed a terrible miss.
Also noted that QPR play music after goals for which they deserve nothing but eternal damnation.

A terrible miss and a goal is a good game for a striker. Much preferred to no miss and no goal.

Hugill was never as bad as everyone made out. He only played a handful of games,but still a very average player and strange signing. About as much use as Andy Carroll.

People say he is shit, but feel a bit sorry for him, never really had a chance to show he wasnt, not that he would have of course!! Strange signing and as someone else said, his Agent is/was Moyes son apparentley.
Speaks volumes about Moyes, or did he genuinly think he was worth the punt of 8 million quid?
Good luck to him though at QPR, maybe he is better off in the championship and getting games rather a PL side not getting much if any chance.

Wishing him luck is all well and good, but we want him to do well regardless so that we get a decent fee for him.

Re: Hugill

He is a decent Championship striker and I wish him well.
But as said it’s all about him doing well to spark up interest amongst a few clubs down there and drive up the price.
He is never going to be a player like Haller is he?

Re: Hugill

Is that really true about his agent?
I was dubious enough that Moyes (normally a tight jock) paid such a fee for a lower league player with a far from great scoring record and older than 22 so not exactly a prospect, but to add the family connection - jesus. Oh and that’s not mentioning doing his old club a favour either!

There was definitely something dodgy about the signing from the off. His record wasn’t great and the reaction from the Preston fans on their forums was laughter at how much we paid.
He looked truly awful away to Dagenham in a friendly and totally out of his depth. But, in a way, he also hit the jackpot with a huge pay rise. As did Preston. As did Moyes probably and, if the rumours are true, Moyes’s son. Nice work if you can get it!

I don't understand how the deal wasn't investigated.

A mate of mine is a former semi pro and QPR season ticket holder and told me that Hugill was a grade above most Championship strikers and he's becoming a fan's favourite.
If you put it into the contaxt that's he's a quality championship striker then 10 million is perhaps not to far off the mark.
But yes, still an odd signing.

Doesn't deserve the stick he gets on here. Yeah strange deal. Maybe we can offload to QPR for 7-8m end of loan.

Exactly this. Seems like Moyes was dodgy as fuck for pushing this one through.
Glad he is scoring goals, only so we get a decent fee for him. It was clear from day 1 he was never going to cut it for us.

'on here'? You make it sound like we're important. Very much doubt he's heard of westhamonline.net somehow.

Re: Hugill

You never know but signing Hugill maybe did us a favour, either Moyes thought the owners were stupid or actually thought Hugill could cut it in the PL?
Doubt like the rest of us the owners knew much about him but with Moyes keen on the job and us in the shit, they may well have said ok, only to see he was a bit dog shit and out of his league (not that he had many opportunitys) and if its true Moyes son was his agent, then any hope Moyes had of getting the job full time went out of the window then.
But i could be wrong.....

Re: Hugill

How can he be a grade above other Championship strikers.
Look at his age and his goal ratio...

Why are people so desperate for this guy to fail.
Not his fault we bought him.
Weird.
