I saw Beckham make his PNE debut. A skinny 17 year old kid stood on the touchline in front of me......but his ball control was phenomenal just in the warm up. After 4 games our web pages were full of comments along the lines of "bugger building the new stand...sign this kid instead". The guy was brilliant for us as a footballer (admittedly some of the lower league defenders may have contributed to this)....and also brilliant as a person. Hung around and signed autographs and generally did not act the big shot around the place. If THAT Palace fan had not wound up Cantona, Beckham would have stayed with us that season (he was recalled immediately Eric got his ban).....and I think we would have gone up. I won't hold it against you though! Beckham has always spoken well of his time at PNE so you will find very few in the city with a bad word for him. As for Hughill....sounds like he was your second choice anyway.....and from our point of view I don't think we mind who gets him as long as they aren't in our league and have deep enough pockets. My understanding is that there was a 20% Sell-On clause included in the deal which took Hugill from Port Vale to Preston.I believe he cost Preston £25,000.

Sorry for the lack of my ability to give updates on this today, been a very busy day. my source has said Yes he has been in London today and it looks like it's West Ham who have been very interested and it looks like that is where he is going.

I haven't seen the one saying that he has signed, just that he is on his way to London after a fee was agreed. I guess Palace could still hijack it. Although he is another one that fits in the "meh" category. Would have been glad to get him, but also not particularly disappointed not to.

Whenever I have mentioned the word "Source" I have been pilloried on here, harpooned with vitriol and ordure.Hope you don't suffer the same fate ! In terms of Hugill, my views have been well documented and it is all about opinions.I have been in the company of football people and they have had differing opinions about certain players.

At the end of this I will say who my source is. But I can't at the moment because it could put them in an awkward position. I've been posting on here since 2004 and anyone is welcome to check back in any of my posts to see if I have claimed to have a source before (I havn't) My source is particular to Jordy Hugill.

Well I think Simon's head is large; always involved in espionage. (Name that tune) |

Mate, I am grateful to you for sharing. I don't need to know your source. I much prefer your news to the rubbish on the TV.

And I have written a few posts about Hugill on this thread placing my head above the parapet in respect to my opinions about the player. I'm not going to respond to the hogwash relating to my sources etc etc. Getting back to Hugill, I have seen him play a few times but not been impressed.Yes big and powerful and ruffles defenders but you need more than just that at PL level in my humble opinion.

Anyone who says "my source" has no source.
