He was back yesterday, Phil confirmed it. He was doing conditioning training with Young.

I wouldn't hold your breath expecting an apology, or even an admittance of spreading horsesh*t.

Funny how some people only see the negative. Must be a very sad existence.

It's almost like he was doing different training sessions because he was about 2 weeks behind his team-mates pre-season training for some reason.

The club would have done their physical check ups that they do with all players when they return for preseason. Hence, he trained alongside Young.
Perhaps somewhat telling that they club didn't capture snaps of him training alongside Young though.

If he returns to the group next week in training that's a positive sign.

Personally, i think 110m in television money is worth more than staggered payments of 35-40m. He's the best player at this level by a country mile. The club need to dig in, remaing strong and see the bigger picture that Omari can offer us.

I understand your last point, but I don't agree. Omari could get a season-ending injury early in the season, and we could be without him anyway. That could have a knock-on of us just missing out on promotion for all we know. £35-40M now would open the possibility of another 3-4 top quality signings to massively improve the squad, and therefore improve our chances of promotion. Of course, that would mean McKenna/Ashton would have to get these signings right, but they would back themselves in that, for sure!

We’d also get a much bigger fee if we sold him when we’re in the prem.

You can't let the possibility of an injury affect keeping a player otherwise you wouldn't have any players (unless that player is already carrying an injury).

Very little point keeping a player who does not want to be there.

I agree with the sentence,,,At this level yes,
Should blow this league away,
I'm hoping that the clubs who are interested don't want to pay towns version of his worth,
If he stays( I don't think he will) we're going up,
He will be the difference to the ease of our season,

But the premise here is letting the possibility of a future return to the Premier League stop us from making a good enough return on a player to make a huge improvement to our squad. It's all risky, but 'spreading the investment over a wider portfolio' reduces that risk rather than keeping it all in one place.

It's not fun losing your best players, but it's the model we need to use to move to the next level. Buy £5-20M players, improve them, sell them on for x2-3 that outlay, and then invest that in more young players to develop. We fans have been spoiled with our meteoric rise up to the end of last season, it's means we've been able to hang on to our best and just add to it. In the next stage of the journey, this is not really possible.

Disagree with this. If e take that approach with all players then we'd never keep anyone and sell them. I think he is more important to us than the money and does he want another relegation battle? A good half season and if we want/need we'll sell him for more in January

Do we actually know he doesn't want to be here though? He hasn't said that just social media speculation/rubbish

Absolutely.

Omari has always had a great attitude, and has performed well at a really young age for Town and for England U21s.

It really was not fair, unless those posting genuinely knew the facts, to be spreading that kind of nonsense. Presumptions were heaped on top of assumptions. "I heard he's refusing to train" (Taken as fact)
"Doubtless it's all down to his agent" (Assumption about the cause of the thing that hasn't even happened).

Sure, blame players when they have terrible attitudes. Blame agents when they sow the seeds of division and act against their clients' interests to line their pockets.

But this was just nothing. It's really amazing how quick people are to believe something out of nothing, even when it casts one of our own in a very bad light.

If he leaves, he leaves. We will not be tearing up his contract and giving him away for free, or at least, I very much hope that hasn't become our new counterintuitive transfer strategy...

But he's done nothing wrong, and we'll make a pretty penny. And we're well stocked in the bells and whistles department.
