For £10m. Sad to see him go but for that money it makes sense. Assume we have a replacement lined up

You’d hope we have a replacement lined up due to this news. Especially with OH on his way out.

Just heard that, very good fee for someone with one year left on their contract.

Sky reporting, that he is currently travelling to Wales for a medical.

I still think this leaves us short. Look at our bench recently. Two goal keepers, Centre halves on the bench. Youth players. Not our norm.

That tweet literally names his replacement. Akpom can also cover up front and the 10 role. I imagine we'll want a right sided player if Omari goes and then another striker still, as well as a CM and left-back to bolster the squad.

I’d go with that. Possibly one more CM in that list.

£10m for someone McKenna clearly doesn't see as part of his 'usual' XI is a brilliant deal for us.

He is a great player, but if the manager sees 2 or 3 in front of him, we take the money and reinvest.

10m or not - he suited that left 10 perfectly for us and was arguably our most effective player there, will be difficult to replicate the technical ability he possessed.

Akpom?


We probably want 10 players for those front four positions.

Hirst, Akpom, Clarke, Philogene, Szmodics, Chaplin, Ogbene, Burns, Hutchinson and AlHamadi

These are the ten at present, obviously will need a replacement/s for the last two if they go.

Hope we can keep Omari (wishful thinking) and get a number nine to challenge Hirst to replace AAH.

Real shame, absolutely quality player but financially there's no denying it makes sense. Hopefully get some movement on Omari quickly too and we can focus on bringing 3 or 4 players of real quality in over the next couple of weeks.

We don't need two more CMs, imo. That's change for change's sake. Humphreys or Taylor are plenty good enough to be fourth choice CM.

McKenna seems to think so


McKenna: I've Got One Or Two Roles in Mind For Akpom to Play More Often 13th Aug 2025 00:32
Town manager Kieran McKenna has a couple of roles in mind for new signing Chuba Akpom to play more regularly, but says the 29-year-old, who joined on a season-long loan from Ajax on Sunday, is capable of operating in a wide variety of forward positions. 20

Financially yes. What about if his replacement who cost nearly twice as much continues to offer only half the contribution when he’s on the pitch? Then we potentially lose out financially in the long run and in football terms.

Hopefully that position will change and we find the player we thought we were getting with Clarke, but that’s far from guaranteed.

Not really. McKenna likes to have players who are comfortable in more than one position which Akpom can do.

Not for a side with top 2 ambitions imho. Especially when we don’t know how Axor is going to settle

10 million if true is unreal money for Broadhead. Really like him as a player, he can be a bit inconsistent and have issues injury wise, and i think that's why the money is so good. If he was more robust and a longer contract he would be worth more that that.

We've got squad limits we have to meet. Akpom's flexibility means he can cover both a number 9 slot and one of the number 10/wide forward slots. Without that, we'll have too many players for a 25 man squad.

Smzodics can also play left so we have Jack Clarke, Philogene and Smzodics all for that role plus Omari (I believe he may have played left for U21s).

He wants to leave. Let's move on. Maybe this £10m means we can keep Leif and Omari and strengthen in CM.
