Not saying he'll definitely make it or something but I can't remember any youth acquisition making this quick of an impact as Hugill in the first three months.
U18s vs Liverpool
- Thread starter limerickcitykid
- Start date
Yeah
Great result to go top of the league.
Getting Savage in there over McNeil was key, made a huge difference.
Emeran was fantastic, Hugill is just so smart with his play and I think Wellens was very good too.

Would add Hardley to the list - by far our best defender and without him we would not have been 2-0 up at halftime
Good character shown by the lads. Another side falling 3-2 behind after 2-0 ahead would have lost nevermind coming back to win.
Maybe some are now realising why city were happy to let mcneil go.
No not at all, why are you still so bitter about this? I’m sure you still have other prospects coming through that could replace him if he’s really as average as you like to suggest.
Wow that was a interesting and emotional match with luckily the better end for us 
Still a long way to go but we have so much attacking quality (especially with Hugill) therefore it would be disappointed if we wouldn't reach the final.

I am not going to judge him yet - that is of course too soon. But his work-rate and all-round play is nowhere near what Hugill has shown. But when it comes to scoring goals - he looks lethal of course.
Isn't he Iraqi?
Half-Pakistani half-Iraqi, the mother is Iraqi and is very good looking (is why i remember this haha).
Cheers for clarifying. I could not remember entirely but thought he was half Pakistani.
Considering how impressive both Pye and Hugill have been here - I can't understand why Sunderlands u18 were so horribly bad. Makes you wonder how bad the majority of the other players were
Hugill barely played for the U18 and played a few U23 games too. Still had a pretty solid goal-scoring record with 4 goals in a total of 8 games for U18 and U23.
Sunderland are pillaged basically every season at every level if I remember rightly, so they've probably lost the majority of their good players over the last few years before many even reach U18 level.
