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.

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.
