Rumour: Hugh Parker

We're now linked with Hull's 19 year-old striker Hugh Parker on loan. Apparently, he's a physical striker who can finish well.

Would prefer Hugh Janus, brother of Samantha (actor for those of my vintage)... ;-)

Presumably in youth football, because as far as I can find he's not played a minute of senior football.

Rather play Patton or Evans

Looks like a cookie cutter of MoM.

In the words of Morgan B. Has he played at Valley Parade?

But younger and with less experience. Yay.

No more of this could Messi do it on a cold, wet Tuesday night in Stoke

Valley Parade is the new yardstick that all new signings should be judged against

Of course just as he has a similar profile to MoM doesn’t mean he’ll turn out so badly. Lots of these type of loans work quite well

In saying that not keen on it either. Needs some experience to go with that physicality up top

So signed from UCD in the LoI in Feb - where he appeared 34 times (9 starts) scoring 2 and assisting 3 times.

At Hull - 5 games in the Prem Cup (according to Transfermarkt) with 3 goals and 2 assists.

And that's it.

Could be a genius move, could be pointless.

Now that is a signing I could get on board with up front.
Richard Osman!

Rather have Jaida Parker.

If Hugh is as bad as the last bloke we got from there then Hull can keep him.

That's a bit more encouraging, I suppose.

Hull play in the Professional Development League, so his U21 league games don't show up in Transfermarkt (*). Other similar websites might show his goals, but not necessarily all the appearances. Of course Reading will have seen him play when we beat them 2-0 in the Premier League Cup, plus there will probably be another chance this Friday.

(*) - your grasp of data appears to be as utterly useless as that of the club's Head of AI.

Therefore, if this rumour is true, he must be seen by the management as an improvement on either Evans or Patton but would say it’s not what we need now, we need someone ready to go in a third level first team now not a promising youngster from a second level team who doesn’t seem to be getting a sniff of involvement there - and surely he would if he was that promising.

Now this is a surprise for everyone.


His agency is Team SHM. Our own Stephen Hunt Management no less. :D

Are we sure that Noel isn't still at Reading FC??

Rather have Hugh(ie) Cheetham.

(Scored direct from a corner for us in the late '70s at Torquay in DIv 4).
