    He can break the recording now of his normal comment, " We have learnt our lesson ", each time we were
    relegated from the championship, back into league one.
    Maybe concerned about the length of the contract, 3.5yrs for a 30yr old player, but when you see Billy Sharp
    at Sheffield United still scoring goals at 36yrs of age [37yrs on 5th Feb], we have to hope Hugill can get the
    goals, & maybe the length of the contract was a condition of him signing for us.
    Hope he can do a ' John Galley ' & get a hat-trick in his first game.
    Can't compare him to Billy sharp as he was scoring plenty of goals before he got old. Hugill can't be discribed as prolific. To me, from what I e read and watched he's more of a shorter version of smith.

    What I meant Cayton is a player can still score goals into his middle thirties, so the long contract is passable, I
    just named Billy Sharp as a player in his later thirties. Hugill is a centre-forward, where I would say Billy Sharp
    is a poacher in the football sense.
