Omari Hutchinson: Ipswich Town open negotiations with Chelsea. on 19:02 - Jun 27 by PhilTWTD | Was thinking Chelsea might be trying to advertise for more and potentially more lucrative interest before doing a deal with us. |
His tweets seem to make it out that's its pretty much a formality. |  |

Until pen's put to paper there's always scope for someone else coming in. Would guess this info is coming out of Chelsea as they're trying to shake out any interest from clubs prepared to pay more money. |  | |  |

The positive thing is, this must mean Omari is open to returning here on a permanent transfer - something I didn't think was always a certainty given how ambitious he is. £22m must be close to our ceiling for any transfer you would think. |  | |  |

This may be a really really thick question. But if Chelsea have indeed got to sell by 1st July Because of working days. Have they literally got to make a decision and sign paperwork tomorrow morning... I imagine no paperwork esp via the fa could be done on a weekend... |  |
|  |
Probably closer to £15m.... on 20:02 - Jun 27 with 3038 views | Bloots |

Am I missing something? Didn’t Hutchinson cost Chelsea £5m? So he wouldn’t be down as ‘pure profit’ and therefore doesn’t matter if he’s sold before 1st July? |  |

He'd still be booked at whatever we pay- £5m if they can get it done by then |  |

I'm unsure about his original fee. I've had a look but can't see it but did see the sun. ( yes I know) said he had turned down a contract with arsenal.. so was he a freebie? |  |

The accounts run to 30th so any new income can offset losses its not all about pure profit |  | |  |

Would be a bargain for such talent. Just need it done and then our resident elephant to tell us the pension fund vultures are wasting firefighter’s money on an unproven player with just a handful of half-decent championship games to his name. |  |

Indeed, very surprised that a bigger club hasn't come in for him. Also that Chelsea don't seem to see a future for him there and aren't sending him out on loan again. |  | |  |

The fact they've been involved in some of the dubious player swap deals recently suggests they're not entirely in the clear financially and maybe this would help to bring in a more immediate prospect for them without getting into trouble |  |

They're neck deep in midfielders Phil, with more incoming. |  |

They're neck deep in players full stop! But you'd think they'd see the potential for OH to get to their level. I'd anticipated a Premier League loan, indeed he seemed indicate a loan was his likely move when we spoke to him in the season. |  | |  |

That does say the issue is postponed rather than gone completely, so would make sense to get on top of it early. They may just be looking to raise cash for additions this summer, of course. |  | |  |

Unless the player has made it clear he wants a permanent move. I certainly would with that number of players ahead of me. |  |

Omari Hutchinson: Ipswich Town open negotiations with Chelsea. on 19:38 - Jun 27 by FrimleyBlue | So this is Chelsea inviting clubs to put and offer in which had a buy back clause in it. |
That crossed my mind. Although at that level, you'd want the buy back fee to be at least double the purchase price (including any add ons paid). Right to resist it. Suspect only a lower Prem side would agree to it. Also..... I suspect Omari would choose a move to Ipswich / McKenna over any other newly promoted / lower Prem side, at which point any buy back offer becomes irrelevant. [Post edited 27 Jun 2024 20:34]

They have Palmer and Madueke in that position already. Madueke picked up a bit of form towards the end of the season so suspect that’s why they’re happy to let him go. And regardless of what Sky says, strongly suspect they do need to sell. Just Chelsea briefing sky so that they don’t get their pants pulled down by clubs knowing they’re desperate. |  | |  |

But at the same time you'd probably see it as a challenge to battle them for a place. However, does seem he's moving on and a feather in the club's cap if he sees joining Town as the best way to continue his development. |  | |  |

I'm imagine that McKenna is getting a fair few players attention now, in the way he developed so many of our players over the last couple of years, Omari included. |  |
