Didn't Trafford get into recent England squads whilst playing in the Championship  with Burnley?

Wasn't that under Carsley after a long run as the U21s keeper?

Why would we spunk a load of money on O’Riley when we already have Fernandes?

Because Fernandes is not staying?

No he isn't/wasn't - he played in a shit side with crap service, most of which were bread and butter balls for CBs, and he won more than any other striker. He was also routinely (isolated which made it much easier for CB's to mark him and be comfortable in their positions). Had saints actually been getting down the flanks / to the byline, whipping in crosses rather than over the top balls of deep diagonal crosses, and had players off him, he would have won more and had better stats for assists and chance creation.

We were shit, he's a limited striker, but to say he's poor in the air is needless revisionism.

He's a decent striker IF we set up to play to him.

Not sure why everyone thinks Ipswich are suddenly a brilliant team? Delap aside they really aren't that special by championship standards.

They got up through consistency and confidence. The confidence won't be the same next season.

We even beat them

Ipswich are going to comfortably win the championship next season. 

They have a brilliant squad for this level. 

Rather depends on how many of that squad get a move to stay in the PL

Could only really play RWB in a 5 too, suspect as a RB in a 4.

True when he was with us, appeared to have improved

He's surely earning far too much now for us to be able to afford him.

Depends on whether he wants to play regularly, or sit on the bench and count his money.

He could get a another trip to Wembley for the Playoff Final

Adam Armstrong should be loaned out immediately. He is utterly useless. When he is named on the team sheet, you know he will produce nothing. When he comes on as sub, you know it's a waste of a place. He offers nowt. As mentioned in another post, there is an argument that BBD hasn't really been given a run in his correct position, and whilst I doubt he would have ever made it, Armstrong has had numerous chances at this level and we know he simply cannot do it. He can in the Championship so perhaps get his value up for a sale at seasons end. Keeping him until his contract expires in 2027 will just be another 2 years of him stealing a living (1 play off goal aside). Now we've freed up a loan space, get a striker in that can score at the top level. Ings for example, certainly isn't the player he was, but can anyone deny that he is still a better option that Armstrong? 

Remind me how many he scored last season

Why would there be a sell-on fee? He's not our player.

McCarthy is ok, he’s no Ramsdale, but way  way better than Baz. He’s not the basket case some would have you believe.

If he isn't having to play Russball then he will look better than he has previously this season

A point more than I expected

£12.8m is so cheap for ABK. He's the same age as THB and has been proven at a higher level than him, both in the Premier League and for Germany. Like Alcaraz, we got great offers for him last summer.

I know he has had injury issues, but Hoffenheim must be happy he is through them.

This is a bit of a disaster IMO. We should have kept him and started him this season. When fit he is probably our best CB with THB.

Not sure what has happened where he is deemed too toxic for the squad as Ralph seemingly liked him, and he wasn't against getting players out the team if they became toxic (Obafemi, Bednarek to Villa etc).

Hopefully we have some great clauses in there to get extra money on incentives or a future sale, because he should have been going for around what we bought THB for even with his shoulder issue. We've sold him at half price, which we aren't in a position to do.

Could fund O'Reilly though, so not all doom and gloom.

When fit and motivated

Sky Sports News reported this summer that Broja is on the lists at Everton and Southampton among others.

Couldn't afford him anyway
