Brentford Make £35m Bid But Fail to Meet Terms Ahead of Release Clause Deadline
at 09:57:57

Just to comment on the Delap Profit and Loss calculation.
Delap signed for 15M plus top ups (assume 20M)
5 year contract, means that this summer our book value was
16M.

Sold for 30M
20% of 10M goes to Man City (2M)

So 28M income Vs 16M book value, is a tidy 12M into the profit column.

Town Closing in On Completing Kipré Loan Signing
at 17:54:54

I think these clauses can be a little misleading.
A mandatory purchase could mean that the buying club has the option to bid £4.9M and the selling club has to accept.
Or it could mean, the buying club has to purchase the player for £3.9M, and in that case the player and club will of had to agree personal terms prior to the loan.

Remember Sarmiento was a 2 year loan if we got promoted.... Obviously we had the option to opt out of that. Although I would sign him, just for the memories.

Trabzonspor Concerns Over Tuanzebe Injury Record
at 15:13:33

When fit he is a decent player for the prem. Unfortunately he has struggled with fitness. Based on that, I guess we haven't offered him that great of a contract.

I would understand if he left, I would like to keep him, but equally the time it has taken, he is definitely leaving.

Clarke is one of our own.

Tuanzebe Linked With Trabzonspor
at 10:34:56

Burgess has gone (wasn't actually going to start)... There is plenty of time to find replacements. Yet you are talking like we are now going to be mid table?.

Nah

Clarke and Johnson at right back is an automatic pushing pair.
OShea and Greaves CB, with Wolfy as cover... Is a championship winning pair.
Davis is the best progressive left back in the league, and many say Townsend is as good.

Baggot as cover, I think is ok. But we may wish to pick up another well rounded CB to mix in and provide competition.

Silverware incoming!

Morsy: I Don't Think It's Momentum
at 08:32:42

We smashed Coventry in the cup, we will be fine. The gulf in class between championship and premier league really is that big.

Sign a striker to support Hirst and Al-Hamedi
Sign a couple of CMs, 1 to start, one to rotate

Nobody else, unless they are premier league quality.

Szmodics Withdraws From Irish Squad
at 12:01:29

I am concerned for my new favourite player after Delap leaves.

I think fully fit, in a decent side that can supply chances, he will dominate. But this ankle injury is concerning. It might be that he never gets fully back on it.

Delap Release Clause £30m
at 21:47:07

If true, disappointing.

The only way you would get more than £30M less sell on, is if a club were desperate enough to sign him before Ipswich are officially relegated. This would give them a chance to agree terms before other clubs and the clause is not active, so we wouldn't be forced to accept £30.

That being said, it would make a lot of sense for Liam to reject that and wait, as he will get far better offers.

Shame we cant agree to loan him to anyone he wants in the prem for free, for a season and hope we get back.

As for the deal. Assuming we have paid £15M, sell for £30m and Pau city £6M. ..... £9M profit looks good a year a go, less good now. :-(

Enciso, Phillips and Woolfenden Start at Palace
at 14:57:54

I don't understand the negative comments around Davis, one of our best players last season.

The way we play isn't to have Clarke out wide, it is to have him inside and Davis push on with all stepping across. This helps us overload the CAM area outside the box.

It hasn't been tremendously obvious this season, but that's because the premier league is hard!

It seems one or two pundits have a dig without understanding how we play, and then everyone starts jumping on the bandwagon.

Having said all that, I think Townsend has done well when he has played and has a lovely cross.

Al-Hamadi West Brom Move Breaks Down
at 20:38:41

Ali has a great work ethic and energy, I am sure he contributes and pushes the squad in training. He hasn't had a real chance here, mostly because he has always had 2 decent forwards ahead of him. But this nonsense about him being a terrible signing or lazy winds me up. He was important in our promotion (created and scored goals winning us points). I am sure he would be a success in the championship if given games, and easily worth £1M.

Good luck Ali, keep on working hard.

But best of lucky to Ali, I hope he comes good, as he is one of my favourites. So much passion.

Sounds like we can go in for Malen, sign him for the deal Villa have agreed, then pull out of the Philogene deal. Or even, complete Malen, then complete Philogene. Take em both.

Philogene at Town For Medical
at 15:44:59

Don't like the story that is being told that Villa are making a quick £7M or so. It's not, they had a 30% sell on that they would have received £6.5M from our £18M bid. Instead they signed him. Now they are selling, so they will get that £6.5 extra, plus £2M or whatever extra we are paying...... But they have lost out on signing bonus and wages.

They would have been better to just let us buy him
