Just seen that he has signed permanently for Stevenage.
Not sure his move to Huddersfield worked out for him? |  | | |  |

Suspect it did financially. |  | | |

Think he will have gained financially in the short term, but maybe not for long term? | | | |

He’s still only 22, a good season in L1 and a Championship team may well want to sign him. |  | | |

Given the upward trajectory of Ipswich he wouldn’t have made it here either! |  | | |

Impossible to say really isn't it as we don't know what future he might've had at Ipswich if things worked out differently. One thing is for sure the pay rise he got by going to Huddersfield was significant compared to his Town package, so he's enjoyed that for the past 2 seasons. That dropped with relegation but he's still back in L1 which is where he left us. Not too old to kick start his career again but certainly needs regular football now.
I've never thought he was particularly good tbh and have always said that. He's an athlete but he really isn't much of a footballer. |  | | |

Do you think he'd be playing in the PL next season if he'd have stayed? Would KM have had him in his side whilst he was earning a pretty poor wage? I'd say it's highly unlikely.
He's gone and earnt a better contract and is still at a good level now, not bad I'd say. |  |

He's interesting as he'd played so little football before joining us, had been a very good rugby player. I think the expectation was that he'd probably push on more than most might from where he was, and he's only 22 now. Physically he's obviously very capable and he always had an eye for goal. One of those that will make a living from the game, I think, even if he doesn't necessarily hit a very high level. |  | | |

I think he probably made the right move, even if he hasn't made it at Huddersfield. Financially it was very beneficial and he probably wouldn't have fared much differently had he stayed here. He wouldn't have got much of a chance and would almost certainly have been sent out on loan for most of the last two years while on significantly lower wages. | | | |

He was decent at rugby at school. He's essentially brawn, athleticism and pace, but he's never looked a particularly accomplished footballer. He had rawness which I think probably appealed at the time, a bit of a rough diamond, but a lack of football 'schooling' really shows. He doesn't think like a footballer. He'll have a career in the game I'm sure through his 20's, but I can't see that in the top 2 tiers. | | | |

There were people at the time suggesting we should pay him whatever his agent wanted - ‘sign him up’ and all that.
With the glorious benefit of hindsight, it looks like we saved a chunk of wages given what you say looks about right to me. The right decision to let him go to Huddersfield? For both parties, I’d say yes.
Given Stevenage are in the same division as Huddersfield and Hudds looked woefully short of players from what I saw of them, I thought they might give him a chance at first team football in L1. But clearly whoever the current management is doesn’t rate him. |  | | |

Agree, and I know one of his coaches was sceptical whether he would make it. But I think the physicality, pace and eye for goal will be enough to see him OK. Rugby-wise, Leicester or Northampton, I forget which, offered him an academy deal before Town did. | | | |

If he had stayed with us, you do wonder whether he would have been sent on better loans, and benefitted from better guidance here.
Our loan players tend to thrive now, I'm not sure if that is down to better due diligence and selecting loan clubs that suit the players?
Huddersfield scrapped their academy, and gambled on buying players young to develop. I dont think they have the ste up to do that. |  |

Watched him in a youth cup match at Cardiff as the hype was starting with him, I was expecting him to rip it up but he was perhaps the worst player on the pitch.
(Must have been Dec 19 as I remember we lost at home to Bristol Rovers that day) |  |

That's possible, but he's literally earned 10x the money he would've earned staying put. I know from the horses mouth that the package we offered him was the equivalent of about £40k a year vs. £400k a year at Huddersfield + a signing on fee. They've probably had to bridge the remaining 2 years he had left too, as I doubt Stevenage are paying him that sort of dough. A 4 year deal worth £1.6m at 'Udders was impossible to turn down to be fair to him.
Given he's broadly ended up back where he started it still looks a good move on paper. Who knows though, had he stayed put and banged goals in L1 and the Championship for us he might be a premier league player now, but that's unlikely I would think. | | | |

If its that kind of difference, then you cant turn it down.
Shows how badly Huddersfield had been run though. | |

You can't really argue against young players taking the opportunity to go up leagues, even if they don't make it, as they'll normally make better money and there's softer landings, not to mention the life experience.
Charlie Brown, now at Morecombe after not doing much at MK Dons and Cheltenham, but still making a living and going to Chelsea was probably the best decision of his life (he'll be 25 in sept).
Marcelo Flores another example, plus Harry Clarke of course. | |

Indeed, I think much like El Mizouni the club would've outgrown him, even if he'd stayed and we'd found a good loan or two for him. I suspect that the same will possibly happen for Humphreys and perhaps even Baggot too. |  | | |
