Philogene - jury still out Burns and ogbene - both returning from big injuries Broadhead - wouldn’t surprise me if he left Chaplin - good Szmodics - good Clarke - *should be good*
Hirst - good (when fit) Al hamadi - not good enough
Hutchinson leaving I feel would be a big loss. Just feel our attack isn’t as stacked as everyone makes it out to be when you break it down.

Omari leaving would be massive loss on 14:26 - Jul 14 with 2411 views
I'm sure if Omari went we would want to add another player of a similar profile but without him it is still a very good attack.
Philogene- Great player at the level 10+ goals last time Burns and Ogbene- Injuries yes but both good players at the level Broadhead- If he stays great player at the level 10+ goals last time Chaplin-Great player at the level 10+ Goals last time Szmodics-Great player at the level 20+ goals last time Clarke- Great player at the level 10+ Goals last time
We have a lot of options even if Omari was to unfortunately depart and we would probably recruit.
Think you are being a bit negative here Philogene was one of the top players in the championship and interesting Barcelona in 23/24, Chappers has scored double figures in the championship twice, Broadhead we don’t know if he’s off but if he and Omari leave we will spend big on a replacement I’m sure.
Szmodics top scorer in the championship, Clarke one of the best in the championship for a couple of seasons. Burns we know is quality and Ogbene is a top championship player, no reason to think certainly Ogbene won’t be the player he was before
I agree with your overarching point – we've not seen a lot, so far, to confirm that these players can gel but we *do* know Omari is basically a cheat code to get out of the division. Lose him, which will very probably happen, and we badly need to find a bit of magic.

I’m sure that the club have a plan. It’s been pretty obvious he’d be on his way for a good couple of months now.

Personally, Hutchinson was really good out wide, didnt personally think the more central role suited him, it;ll be interesting for me at least to see where he ends up playing at a prem club.
ogbene is a beast, philogene is another version of hutchinson when he gets time in our system and enjoys being at 1 club, his brief appearences for us reminded me so much of omari when he first came in.
Clarke will tear apart the champ on the left
sammy s as long as hes fit will continue to bang in goals at this level
Burns is rapid at this level, maybe not so much the prem, but he'll do his usual stuff when he gets back, so no the right hand side for me isn't a massive issue.

I don't get this 'It’s been pretty obvious he’d be on his way for a good couple of months', unless relegated clubs (even with no financial troubles) somehow automatically have to sell their best players.
Yes, he will be attractive, but it's not like there have been suitors queuing up around Portman Road. Nor has their been the resignation from the club that we saw with Delap. Rumours of trigger clauses - and their value - have not been confirmed in mainstream media as with the latter.
All round, there has been remarkably little noise.

Not only were these players producing these stats mostly from out wide, but that was in inferior teams. People saying they don't know what to expect can just look at the Coventry cup game last year and how good Clarke was.

Chappers will do what chappers does
We do need better than Al hamadi though
Burns is 30 and coming back – not for some time yet, probably around his 31st birthday – from a big injury. We have a problem on that right hand side.
I think it is what it is , we can’t control it and this is where we find ourselves as a football club right now. We have evolved for the better and long may it continue. We will hit times when we need to or have to sell our better players due to PSR or in this case a trigger point as in a release clause.
£35m is a chunk of money for anyone and whilst on paper it’ll weaken us I can certainly look beyond that because this amazing club of ours has an amazing reputation right now and I’m sure any of the so called big clubs out there who have a starlet who they feel may need nurturing by one of the best guys outside of the Premier League then surely ITFC will be the destination.
There will be a contingency plan for Omari going I’m sure of it. I’d be as gutted as the next guy especially after watching the Under 21’s where he was stand out BUT there’ll be more !!!!

Omari leaving would be very bad but I'm rather bored of this narrative around Philogene.
He's an established player for the U21s and has played very few games for us when we were a losing side.
His numbers last time he played at this level were very good:
Philogene: 32 matches, 12 goals, 6 assists
Clarke also did very well that season:
Clarke: 40 matches, 15 goals, 4 assists
Let's get behind Philogene rather than persist with negativity.

Realistically Philogene was probably signed as a pre-emptive replacement for Hutchinson - and in both summer 23 and summer 24 was more highly rated than Omari

Do we?
Ogbene, Philogene, Johnson ( If needed ) , Mendel, Clarke J ( If needed )
Plenty of options.
If we lose hutch we will prob though get another one who can play anywhere on the forward line anyway
Plenty of square pegs in round holes, yes, unless we get Ogbene and – later, because he is still months away – Burns back to Championship-winning levels of sharpness. We can't make do, I think we need another.

Will be interesting to see if Mendel has gone out to Austria and whether we see him in any of the friendlies. Not convinced he's that close to the first team from talking to people who have seen him in the U21s.

It will be interesting to see if
Alcohol is the answer but I can't remember the question!

It will be interesting to see if Mendel-Idowu comes through, he is pacey and tricky by all accounts?

Question of when not if he leaves. Hope the 35m release clause is true at least to soften the blow.
Well unless you are Omari's agent or someone involved with transfers at the club Illinois, Omari may well favour a move, but unless someone reaches the figure of £35 million ( allegedly rel. release clause ) , than he may not be going anywhere?
