Ogbene is a very good player. Wes excellent at this level. Omari will play alongside them at #10. |  | |  |

Assuming Hutch goes (and he clearly will) on 08:04 - Jul 10 with 3150 views | Herbivore | He barely played on the right last season so I doubt we'll look for another right sided player to replace him if he does go. We'll have Burns and Ogbene back, Johnson played wide right a fair bit for us last season, Philogene too before he got injured. We might look to sign another 10 if Hutch goes as we've got Chappers as a specialist in that role and then Szmodics who has played there in the past too. Saying that, I'm not sure he'll go. I'm even less sure now you've said he will clearly go as you're never right about anything. |  |

Assuming Hutch goes (and he clearly will) on 08:28 - Jul 10 with 2952 views | Tractor_Boy333 | If the £35 millions release clause is correct, I’m sure someone will take a chance on him. But look at Delaps situation not sure he was ever a guaranteed starter for Chelsea but now looks like he’ll spend a fair bit of time on the bench and that’s not going to do his career development and England prospects any favours. Omari would surely find himself in the same situation at any premiership team, as opposed to pretty much starting every match for us so would be better off staying with us. But perhaps players don’t think like that and just want more money. |  | |  |

Have you considered that footballers are just like the majority of the population who want to better themselves by earning more and working at the top level possible? Delap has far more chance of playing for England at Chelsea than he ever would in the Championship. Omari would start every game for any team outside the PL but it doesn't mean he should give up on playing there. These are confident and ambitious young men and are unlikely to be solely motivated by minutes in the Champ. |  | |  |

I think it's 50/50. Much as Prem money is wild, £35m is still a big fee for any bar the top handful of clubs and that top handful aren't going to be interested. Will a mid level club think he's worth a punt at £35m? It's certainly possible but I don't think it's guaranteed. |  |

Assuming Hutch goes (and he clearly will) on 08:56 - Jul 10 with 2759 views | Guthrum | Burns will apparently be fit fairly soon. Hopefully not having lost any performance. I think Ogbene is good enough, if, perhaps, not so capable of pulling off the spectacular as Hutchinson. Again, the same caveat on full recovery of pace and maneuverability. Finally, if Hutchinson stays, he may well not be playing on the right, anyway. |  |

Not guaranteed but very possible. Given Hutchinson’s age, obvious talent and potential I think at £35m he’s a bit of a bargain. Already an England u21 with a Premier League season behind him if I was a Palace, Fulham, maybe a Villa I’d see it as a no brainer. The prices for players bear no reality to a couple of seasons ago. Will Hutchinson go? Who knows. I hope not but I’ll understand why if he does. He’s a bit too good for the ham an egg Championship |  | |  |

Its the statement of fact ariund something that is only a possibility. "Clearly he will be" based on what? He might be and we'll all be disappointed if he is. But none of us can say for certain |  |

I'm not convinced of the existence of a Hutchinson release clause. Delap's was being widely reported for months, up to the level of national press. As was the pursuit of him by top-level clubs. In contrast, Hutchinson's situation is pretty much limited to a few speculations on here. None of that confirmation from many directions |  |

To be fair I think Chelsea bought Delap to stockpile him, as they thought £30m was a cheap option & one they could turn a profit on. He's going to have a fight on his hands to become first choice striker now they have signed Pedro. [Post edited 10 Jul 9:17]

It's still a large sum of money. It would be a record transfer fee paid for Palace or Fulham (and several other PL clubs for that matter). Do they rate him that highly? Maybe but it's far from a given. Especially when you look at the value you can get abroad. Kluivert cost Bournemouth £12m. |  | |  |

You are right that money people will put top-dollar ahead of everything else, but sometime there are other considerations that contribute to your own assessment of 'quality of life'. We don't know what Hutch values most. I'm sure there will be interest, and there's a reasonable chance he will move on at some point, but until there is some evidence that a realistic approach has been made, I'll retain the hope that his life goals better align with being with Town for a little longer, and he's here come Sept 1st. |  | |  |

I'd be surprised if there isn't one. The difference is finding a young, English #9 like Delap who had the season he did for £30m is harder than a young English 10 / winger like Hutchinson for £35m. Delap was probably 50% - 60% of his true market value hence the level of interest. Hutchinson is more like 100% at that price I'd say. I think there will probably be interest in Omari as the window progresses, but its not a punt at that price for the sort of clubs that would want him. It would either be a transfer record, or close to a record signing for most of the mid tier PL clubs. I can see him at West Ham. They've sold Kudus and Cornet will likely go as well, that would make plenty of room. |  | |  |
Assuming Hutch goes (and he clearly will) on 09:31 - Jul 10 with 2465 views | baxterbasics | Don't agree on "he clearly will" - there's been no speculation that I've seen or anything rumoured about clubs even being interested, never mind a solid offer. Of course it's quite possible he goes. But I think it's ok to hold out some hope at this stage. |  |

And yet! Delap had the chance to play for the U21,s and come home with a winner’s medal but gave that up to play in a meaningless tournament in America! He may well have dented his England chances with a dubious decision to put club before country. |  | |  |
