Jordan Hugill has now departed for Norwich City for a fee that could rise to £5 million. We've also sold Albian Ajeti to Celtic for £4.5 million, so that's £9.5 million banked for two strikers who cost a combined total of £18 million, neither of whom never started a league match. Hugill played just 22 minutes for West Ham and the suspicion remains that he was a panic signing by Sullivan rather than Moyes two seasons ago. In the circumstances the club has done well to recoup some money, but having lost £5m on Hugill and £3.5m on Ajeti it's definitive proof that, to contradict Mark Noble, the club really is run like a circus. Hopefully the signings of Soucek and Bowen by David Moyes represent the start of an era of planned recruitment.
