Hugill Return??

Augero wasn’t exactly worlds strongest man and one of the best strikers on the planet

Aguero was incredibly strong. He had a super low centre of gravity and you couldn’t knock him off the ball.

Aguero was very strong.

Re: Hugill Return??

Etete was a strange signing. If he was any good, spurs wouldn't have let him go for £500k. If he was a Tier 1 player they would have kept him, T2, sold him for millions to a german team, T3, kept him out on loan and eventually sold him.

It is a speculative punt for a couple of years time. Realistically he should probably go on loan to a L1 or L2 club to get some games. That miss against BHam was awful.

I can't believe Aguero has even been brought up in the conversation. Max Watters isn't even at Chris Pike or Carl Dale level yet.

Re: Hugill Return??

All three of the forwards we have all look more suited to playing alongside another forward. Assuming we're not switching to a 4-4-2 anytime soon, I'd say we do need two forwards similar in style to Hugill, who can make those kind of runs in behind and hold up the ball at least a little bit in order to bring others into play.

Etete does seem a strange gamble to me.

Re: Hugill Return??

I wouldn't say that Watters is necessarily weak as he's at least had a few instances of holding his own against defenders. He looks more clumsy than anything.

To be fair to Etete we haven’t seen enough of him yet. All we can go on are people that have seen him and the general feeling among Spurs fans was that they were disappointed he went on a permanent and were very keen on a buy back clause. I also do t think he was signed as a starter - more a project.

Re: Hugill Return??

I wonder ??

We need a Chopra, McCormack or aging Bellamy type, all thrree of them would be on four or five goals by now in this team!

I would take Hugill too, although he's a different type of Striker.

Re: Hugill Return??

We need someone desperately.

Listen to Morison's comments we'll get two I think!

Re: Hugill Return??

Isaak Davies shouldn't be discounted, he should walk into the striker spot once fit

But he's a second striker and needs to play up front with someone who can lead the line.

Really? We're created fewer chances than virtually all other Championship sides.

Yes we haven't seen enough of him, but when we're persisting with Watters and Harris ahead of him, then you have to consider why.

Yes I think so, we misssed three yesterday, about five at Birmingham and there have chances in other games, they are not half chances they are missed easy chances.

Also don't forget if we take those chances we start to play with more confidence, as a result the other team have to chase the game and we would have had many more chances. Not taking our opportunities is killing us and costing us points.

Re: Hugill Return??

Hugill returning would be such a boost. He fills a lot of gaps that arguably we've been missing up front. The ability to hold the ball up - a danger in the air, another target for set pieces, and I suspect someone who wouldn't be shy in letting teammates know what service he wants. We probably also lack a senior pro role-model for our other forwards.

Can’t compare without watching the games but we have made a number of decent chances. Stats don’t always tell the whole story.
