Comment | Brentford Make ÂŁ35m Bid But Fail to Meet Terms Ahead of Release Clause Deadline
at 11:15:36
Hutchinson and his “team” will have negotiated and accepted the £35m release clause (incl. with most of the fee paid upfront) as a safety net if we were to get relegated. They clearly saw this as a reasonable fee for any club to have to pay if Hutchinson decided he did not want to play in the championship. Therefore, whether he wants to leave or not, we would seem to be in a pretty strong position to tell him he’s not going anywhere until this figure is at least met, now that the release clause has expired. |

Comment | Town Bid For Greek Striker Rebuffed - Reports
at 14:14:14
Yes we need to strengthen at the back but conceding the amount of goals we do isn’t solely down to individual defenders’ ability. It’s more to do with the fact we essentially play 3-2-4-1 when we have the ball which is what allows us to score so many goals |

Comment | Town Targeting Wimbledon Striker Al-Hamadi
at 15:41:32
Some people on here either haven’t been listening or don’t understand the FFP restrictions that we are under (and the subsequent points deductions for failing to meet them). Stepping up from league 2 to the championship is a huge task that not many can do but the reality is we can’t afford to get anyone who is available at our current level and stay within FFP. If we spend £5m on a striker now we realistically still won’t be shopping in the same market as Leicester Leeds and Southampton. Anyone calling for a striker with premier league experience is living in a dreamworld. |

Comment | Chelsea Youngster Hutchinson On Town's List
at 22:38:02
Have no issue with this as I don’t think harness or Jackson are of the quality we need to challenge at the top end of the championship. If he can play across the 3 behind hirst then it provides competition for Chaplin and burns. Having said that, I’d prefer rak sakyi as he’s had more experience of first team football. |

Comment | Ladapo: Since Coming Here I've Been Getting Happier All the Time
at 08:44:13
Gets a lot of unfair stick. Don't think he was ever brought in to be the main man but has one of the best goals per minute ratio's in league 1. He's also probably looked the best number 9 in mckenna's system since he came in (in which a lot of supposedly good strikers have looked very average). |

Comment | Former Loanee Luongo Training With Town
at 16:41:16
Can't understand why people would think this is a bad idea. A free transfer and a short term deal to cover injuries to ball, camara and (likely at some point) evans. He's also proven at this level. |

Comment | More Than 22,000 Seats Sold For MK Dons Game
at 08:42:01
Agree with comments that we shouldn't be blaming ladapo. I also don't think bringing in hirst will magically solve the problem. The system we play hardly suits strikers at this level. We've had bonne, Norwood, pigott and now ladapo (although early days) who have all been prolific at this level (or league 2 in norwood's case) at one point or another, but who seem to not be able to do it in our system. I read somewhere that we had a lower xG than forest green and Bolton despite dominating both games. The issue is the lack of clear cut chances, not the strikers themselves. |

Comment | McKenna: Dom's a Great Addition to the Squad
at 08:51:23
We were noticeably smaller and less aggressive than a lot of teams last year and got bullied. Definitely good to have somebody like him either alongside morsy for those particular games or as a much needed replacement for morsy if he is ever out. It's also a very good sign than every qpr fan who has commented on here or the Instagram post seems sad to see him go |

Comment | Cambridge United 2-2 Ipswich Town - Highlights
at 14:55:27
We concede so many late goals from set pieces or long balls into the box (Cambridge, Wimbledon, Cheltenham etc). We shouldn't have to but surely the sensible thing to do would be to bring someone like Toto on for Penney in the last 5 to help deal with balls into the box as obviously the problem isn't going away. |

Struggling to see how anyone could question whether he'd be good enough. He was our best player in a mid table championship team. However, I also struggle to see how we could pull it off |

Comment | Town Accounts Show Evans Waived or Settled ÂŁ96m in Loans
at 10:46:08
Tricky to assess this really. On one hand you have to respect the continued investment to keep us afloat but ultimately Evans' poor decision making led to reduced revenues and his desperation to sell at a huge loss. All EFL clubs seem to lose money so we can't get ahead of ourselves and expect the current investment to be sustainable in the long term but hopefully we can take the opportunity to correct the infrastructure and culture of the club. |

Comment | Town Crooks Bid Well Short of Rotherham Valuation
at 21:58:58
Having new owners and cleared debt after covid is definitely working in our favour. Players like Harper and crooks (even with a year left on his contract) would have cost at least 2/3 times the fees reported here. Seems like the perfect time for new owners to come in and continue the spending while other clubs cannot afford to say no. |

Comment | QPR Leading Chase For Dozzell
at 22:44:02
I find it hard to believe that the England youth set up, premier league and championship clubs are all wrong about his potential. Agree that he can be a bit lightweight but has obvious technical ability and would hate to add him to the growing list of players we let go for ÂŁ3m that are worth ÂŁ20m in 3 years |

Comment | Options Taken on Bishop, Nsiala, Drinan and El Mizouni
at 08:17:00
Lot of strange comments on here. Bishop staying is obviously out of PC's hands given how the option for him to stay is clearly based on appearances. Jackson had championship interest last year so why would we release him for free when we could get some money. I'd have kept Wilson over nsiala but if we get rid of both are we really going to get 3 new cb's in that can play together straight away? I agree that drinan is useless but he'll be on next to no money and again means that we don't have to sign about 15 players in one window like we did under hurst (how did that go?) |
