Anybody take Izzy brown back? Nope - played for the Dirties (after a fashion) and is no better than we have now - gone down hill and will end up at some obscure London club wishing he had applied himself a bit more rather than tweeting balls

We would like more than one proper shot from him....

Huddersfield are in talks to sign midfielder Reece Brown, 23, from Forest Green Rovers, according to Sky sources.
The deal is not done yet and there will be a compensation fee – believed to be around £150,000 - involved because of his age.

From looking up at Reece Brown it looks like we are signing a lad with real talent and has kicked on this year with Forest Green and done well for himself in league 2.
A player that was released by Birmingham in 2017 with fans saying he had the same ability as Ravel Morrison, Nathan Redmond etc but had off the field issues that held him back and he never really kicked on and was deservedly released.
Saw one comment state that it'll be our luck that he goes on to be worth £20 million now he's been released.
Forest Green fans are disappointed to be losing him but deservedly he is moving onto bigger things with us, lets hope he kicks on as he has been doing in League and transitions nicely.

Problem we have with Kongolo is even if he himself wants to leave, we'll want the bulk of what we paid for him. And after the season he just had, where IMO he looked average at best and pretty unimpressive overall, I can't see who the buyers at that price would be. We might have to look at doing what happened when we bought him. Loan him out for half a season and hope he really impresses whilst hes there to get the value back up again. Its alright saying hes a dutch international, which he is in that hes played for them, but doubt hes anywhere near the dutch managers thoughts right now. Flo is a swiss international..so not sure you can read everything into that. Actually he's now a Kosovan international. Made his debut last week and coincided with their first ever win at international level. Not their first win MT. Now unbeaten in 14!

That's a lot of "kicking on".

I agree but I still think he was better than Schindler last season. Suppose thats debatable, but both struggled IMO The whole team struggled capn...... Tbf considering how bang average at best we were going fwd I think the back lads mostly did ok if not quite as well as the year before. Based on 2 full seasons in the prem then for me 2 of the 4 lads we have who are prem standard are these two. Add mooy and billing for talent and Hogg maybe for application only and that's about it sadly. The rest for me although decent enough aren't top flight.

Can we see some club giving us our money back for Kongolo? I can’t, he’s a good player and I like him but feel we paid too much. I bet you didn’t say that at the time we signed him I did.

Kongolo when on loan looked every bit a prem player. I can see why we paid so much for him at the time. But hes never looked quite the same player since IMO. So who knows whether that loan spell was just an unusual good run of form for him, or last season was just a poor run of form?? Which is the 'real' Kongolo?

While I do not want him to go, it will not be surprising if he does. And if it is going to happen, hope it is for a reasonable amount and the sooner the better so that replacements are brought in accordingly and quickly.

The music accompanying this video. Jaysus. And if they removed the slo-mos it would be a very short video. My opinion - FWIW - is that we are targeting the wrong bloke here; Macauley Bonne is the striker we should be after. Said this before in the January window - I reckon we'd get him for £1m. Probably posted elsewhere but I see he has gone to Charlton.

Of the 4 that could fetch large transfer fees (billing, kongolo, mooy, and Schindler) I'd most want to keep kongolo. Very thin at lb (and at cb unless stankovic will be used there).

Villa just signed centre back in Hause from Wolves surely don't need complete central defence renewing

Struggled with hamstring injury all season and was regularly stretching when the ball was out of play. Didn’t look fully fit - a good rest should sort that.

I have read, however, that Lee Bowyer is on his way out of the manager's chair at Charlton; can't agree an extension to his current contract.

Go to villatalk and their transfer rumour thread and that will explain where the Kongolo link has come from

Certainly a possibility but am hoping Elphick is to replace Zanka.

So do i a very good versatile player can play in many different roles depending on the state of play.

Billing £2m if we are very very very lucky, as I said in one of my tongue in cheek posts I nearly got knocked down in the rush of all the agents and premier league managers looking to buy him (NOT) Stankovic far to slow even for championship I hope we can keep Kongolo Mooy and Schindler if we do I will drive Billing to his new club ( Not really)
