As I understand it, it didn't get very far. We let him go and have a chat with them while the clubs discussed figures, which they didn't cone to any agreement on.

Apparently they had some external consultant provide some last minute input that deterred them, think the chaps name was Fromley? Frimilly? Something like that 😇

Would assume miles apart then Phil?.

Likely to be we wanted £1m+ and WBA were at a similar figure to Boro for Edmundson <500k?

Any chance it might resurrect as a loan with an option?

Don't know precise figures but get the impression there was a bit of distance between the valuations, but not sure it got too far into thrashing an agreement out. Not impossible if the three parties are keen, but I would guess Town are keen to move him on permanently if they can.

Suggests they are confident of getting a striker in then.
As with Ladapo being allowed to leave last season, hell of a risk if not.

What’s the play with Edmundson?Just trying to force a higher offer one would think, seems quite a harsh approach to recall him from loan and miss the game though, that’s serious hard ball.

I heard it was pretty close, they just asked him to sign in the box....


....but he missed.



Sorry. 🥲

He's not up to being the rotating striker if Delap or Hirst are injured. We'd be better off changing formation or whatever. Unfortunately* for Ali we've a) exceeded our expected progression from when he signed, b) Hirst got injured and c) we failed to land another striker in the summer.

* not that unfortunate really, he's got paid more cash, had a great promotion experience, and he's young enough to get going again elsewhere and still have a chance to develop.

Bit of an impasse between the clubs at the moment. I reckon it will probably get done eventually as makes sense for all parties.

I agree.

Ali is not up to it but it isn't his fault. We bought him as a possible wild card in a championship side, we didn't buy him to play on The Prem.

One of those things, I hope he does well.

Indeed. Ali's fitness is also a question mark over a potential move as well, of course. A loan with a view to buy might suit the other club better initially.

It’s not a risk. As mentioned earlier the powers that be are likely to realise multiple other players could fill that role more efficiently

Well, Chaplin IMO is the best at heading the ball in the squad, if he was 2 feet taller, he’d be an absolute monster!

Showing my age but there was a time when some players were versatile enough to be able to play on very different positions. We've had players who played central defence and forward for example. A high quality coach should be able to coach versatility.

Not really, manager gives a player a number of chances to see if he can be the player he wants… and in this case, it’s not worked out at all
