Earned Wycombe a penalty to win the game and take them to the top of L1.
Is it worth bringing him back and plonking him in our midfielder as a starter or is it better for him to carry on tearing up L1? |  | | |  |

Would surprise me if we'd sell him or that he'd want to join a League One club regardless of how well he's doing or how well he might like it there. I wonder whether we might look to move him up a level if we can - and he's up for it - but Kieran said we're happy for him to stay there and play when I asked him.
 McKenna: Humphreys Loan Success No Surprise 8th Nov 2024 16:23Town boss Kieran McKenna says no one at Portman Road is surprised that midfielder Cameron Humphreys is making such a big impression during his loan spell with League One leaders Wycombe Wanderers.  3

Yes I wondered that and the only logical reason to cut a loan short would be to put him in a champ team e.g. and Oxford/Portsmouth type scenario.
I think given the season he is having and being a big part of it you have to leave him there. If they were mid table or something maybe. But this is great experience to be in another title chasing season for him but now being a key apart of that. Great for his education.
He wouldn't be near our squad let alone a starter so this is perfect for him. If we did come down we'd have to have a proper look/go with him in pre-season to see if he has kicked on enough for a squad place. Could save us some money with us having some aging midfielders though not like for like. |  |

The way the season is going for them, they may not be a League one side for much longer.
You'll know better than I, but what's his contractual situation with us? |
Summer of 2026 with the club having an option for a further season. Wycombe may well not be a League One club by the summer but they're not yet and I doubt be would look to make any long-term decisions in this window. |  | | |

As much as I like the guy. Almost anything that comes through the youths now will be sold on. On the exceptional will make it with us. |  | | |

I see where you're coming from.
I was suggesting they may make a move for him in the summer, but completely didn't make that clear. | | | |

I really don't think they could afford to make an offer we would consider. I think he's minimum worth £1.5-2 mil to us at his age and potential. They aren't going to be spending that sort of money. | |

Has he beefed up a bit? Looked a good player, but lacking in the physicality for PL last time I saw him. |  |

Sadly whilst an absolute club legend, Mick Mills is a terrible pundit and not one I'd be quoting as an expert. |
I agree his away with the fairies at times. | | | |

737 appearances, 30 goals, club Captain, 42 England appearances some as captain.
Yes, he can drone on. I don’t always agree with him either, but I think he has opinions worth listening to. I still think he is right about midfield which is in my view the weakest area of the team. | | | |

Why the emphasis on ‘international’ and ‘ex international’? If that’s the criteria, let’s see if Matt Holland or John Wark can dig their boots out of the loft.
Humphreys was a suggestion for discussion, not a definitive answer. I have given my view on it. If you believe our midfield isn’t a problem, I suggest you give Mick Mills a ring. No, he hasn’t suggested terminating Humphreys loan but he does believe we need strengthening in midfield regardless of our ‘internationals or ex-internationals’. |
What? I have no idea what that reply is supposed to mean. I said, “international” or “ex-international” as our current 5 are all of that pedigree meaning there’s no chance Humphrey’s is coming back and getting a start - that should be obvious.
No matter how much of a prospect he is, there’s an enormous gulf between where he’s at and our current options. Look how lightweight Clarke is at this level - Humphrey’s is no way near ready. He clearly wasn’t last season in the Championship so why would he be now after half a season in league one. Where’s the logic? | | | |

I have given the reason why I started the thread and asked a question. Further into the thread I offered my view, just as others have.
My point to you about use of the word ‘international’ is that it’s irrelevant. It’s how our midfield players are performing now in the Premier League. As for Humphreys, the same principle applies. The question was essentially has he progressed enough in half a season to play at this level. The general view is that he’s better staying where he is. | | | |

How many league one midfielders have you seen go straight into a Premier League side? Especially over our current options? No chance. |  |

I’ve only seen clips so have no idea. He was somewhat slight of frame last year, but now? You are right about the physicality of the Premier League. It’s surprised me just how physical it is. The players all, with the odd exception, seen to be large, fit and be able to play. | | | |
| Cameron Humphreys on 00:14 - Jan 2 with 1470 views | JimmyJazz |
Sadly I reckon he'll follow a similar path as El Mizouni (not necessarily to Oxford) |  |
| |
| Cameron Humphreys on 00:26 - Jan 2 with 1461 views | pointofblue |
I imagine he’ll remain at Wycombe for the rest of the year unless the club receive a bid from another team which is too good to reject. In the summer he may be integrated into the squad if we go down. If we stay up and Wycombe are promoted, we’ll probably loan him back there for a further season. In a similar vain, if we stay up but Wycombe remain in League One, we may loan him to a club in the Championship.
Someone mentioned it, but I wouldn’t be adverse to Bloomfield replacing McKenna should we go down (as I assume McKenna will leave of his own accord). | |

Irrelevant? You think x 5 International level PL midfielders could potentially be displaced by a League One level midfielder who could barely get a start in the Championship? Probably best not to criticise the logic in my other posts - the one about Muric and context was as non-sensical as this one. | | | |

For the last time the OP asked a question about one of our players who is doing rather well on loan. Given that a number of our players who have started and contributed to games this season were playing in League One less than two years ago, it was in my view, a reasonable question to ask. If you didn’t think so, you could have ignored it.
International players? Yes, irrelevant. Totally. It is what level they are performing to now and what they have to offer that is important, not what they used to be. Interesting that you mention your number one scapegoat target since his first game Muric. He is an international goalkeeper with according to Wiki 42 caps. Is his international record relevant or not? Personally I’d say not.
Lastly, I believe a good rule to follow is to post the same way as you’d talk to somebody face to face. That way you can introduce a little more curtesy and politeness into it and a little less judgement of people you don t know.

Church its a valid question. Of course there is a big gap in leagues but what we don't know is the level in which himphreys has progressed. KM talks of delap and the level in which he progressed since July.. that's not saying humphreys is delap or anything close but on what degree has humphreys developed. That will be key to what KM does next with him. |  |

I can easily see your scenario being played out one way or the other.
I haven’t seen Humphreys play this season, but I know that when Wycombe get a mention he tends to, so he’s obviously doing something right given their position at the top of the heap. As is of course Bloomfield. [Post edited 2 Jan 8:21]

It’s not Frimmers. As the second post said, it’s a non-debate and just shows a massive lack of understanding on f the game, sadly. Zero chance Humphrey’s is getting in unless we’re really struggling for numbers. | | | |

Id be surprised if he doesnt get a chance at Town next year. Morsy another year older and possibly Cajuste and Phillips not here. |  |

| Cameron Humphreys on 09:39 - Jan 2 with 1007 views | baxterbasics |
What he needs is to get a stint at Championship level - whether with Wycombe next year or a new loan with a fresh club. Then we'll see where he is at. *If* we are back down there ourselves then yes he might be pretty important. |  |

I agree if we go down. If we stay up, I think I'm right in saying we have an agreement in place to sign Cajuste, and I imagine we'd either work a deal for Phillips and/or bring in one or two others. | |

I'd imagine the truth probably lies somewhere between the polar opposites being opined above. It's clear he's bulked up considerably, and is impacting games heavily in a difficult, physical league. A full year as the main at Wycombe will do him and his belief in himself the world of good. If we stay up, I can see KMc giving him a full pre-season and then taking a call on a Championship loan, or giving him a shot as a squad player. Don't forget, he waxed lyrical about him as a trainer, standard setter etc. When people talk about only the 'exceptions' progressing from the academy, I don't think Cam is far off. |  | | |
