Seems like a good bloke and a half decent player who's taken it all in his stride and got on with it.
As a club we've hardly covered ourselves in glory over the last year and a bit, but with him especially it's all been a bit of a cock-up. It must be a personal dispute with Kit, or the manager is in denial. Maybe he doesn't want to think that we're a club relying on the long ball, given his academy back ground, and sees us as a Southampton / Arsenal type team in development - but the bare facts are that we pump the ball up the pitch as soon as we're under any kind of pressure because we lack composure at the back and in the middle. And that ball, pumped above the stand - rising toward the floodlights and causing pilots on approach to brown their undergarments - inevitably heads toward Hugo, who has nothing in the air, and ends up coming back toward where it started.
I don't mind the long ball, it can be effective - but it makes no sense for us to do it and have him out on loan. He would be a great option to bring on when we're under that pressure. He would give us some protection from corners and offer an actual outlet in open play.
