Whilst I agree he tried hard, he was brought in to score & create goals, something he failed miserably at. Two goals with no assists is a flop in my book regardless of how hard he tried. He missed some absolute gobbers aswell. Tried hard = that alone means he doesn't deserve to be lumped in with the others. Plus, we made a profit on him. A tiny profit if any, we pretty much got our money back when he dropped back into the Championship. We definitely had Stoke's pants down with that one. Revenge for them selling us Sobhi but atleased we managed to get our money back with him. You can't tar him with the same brush with his workrate but it doesn't change the fact that his goals & creation output was a bad as the rest of them. He averaged a goal every 14 games.

Ince tried hard & we made a profit on him. He wasn't a roaring success, but he wasn't a flop either. Doesn't deserve to be lumped in with the gnome-with-a-cyst, the greyhound chasing a balloon or the Hide & Seek champion. Tbf he was crap, we just found another club with more money than sense

He had a phenomenal work rate, you could never fault his effort. Anyone who thinks otherwise can’t have seen him play for us. He needed an extra split second in the Premier League but I’ll be forever grateful for that winner v Watford.

He’s signed for the Qatar sports club, be getting paid unreal money. Not sure how he does it but fair play to him 😂 I'm bitterly disappointed in IM, and to some degree how the club managed him irrespective of his lack of effort, money grabbing and no care attitude. Company wise, if you in essence bad mouthed an employee, told everyone you wanted rid of them. you'd have to in some instant expect them to take you for everything you had, unfortunately for us as a club, I think his agent and himself did just that. Winston Bogard at Chelsea did just that a few years back. The Qatar Sports Club move, may make sense to him. I do believe he is a devout Muslim (I could be wrong), but it could be closer to his roots than Huddersfield. He may also speak Arabic too which would allow him to communicate. Additionally, he likes the nicer things, cars, lifestyle etc so Qatar, Money and Lifestyle might seem him happy and dare I say it, produce, for his career, I'm sure that's what he would want. I slandered him like crazy yesterday wishing him all sort of nasty results. However, for the club and for him this is a good split. We cannot blame him for the cost we as a club paid for him, we can however blame him to a perceived lack of effort. He arguably downed tools once knew there was limited playing time, club wanted him gone. To be fair, he did come in early pre season last year, maybe that was a sign of remorse or recognition that he needed to fight for his place, a sign of "look I'm willing to put the effort in". We got a half decent-ish player then, some of us thought maybe he turned a corner within reason. THAT was the time we should have looked to part ways, his stock was a bit higher. Hindsight is a wonderful thing though. We will move on, as he will.

The abuse he got was ridiculous. Not quite good enough for the prem. if he had of been, then we wouldn’t have been able to sign him. Then after 12 months we got our money back.

That looked like the plan buying high end top quality Championship players to give it a go. And if it didn't work out we have a decent squad to give it another go the following season. What a cock up! Done now, we learn & move on together. UTFT

Dear Isaac Mbenza
Anyone who's ever watched a game of football, could see from your highlights real you're a player who would prosper in a team playing attacked-minded football.
It's no coincidence that in the three years you were with us your prospered in the only three months in which we didn't play turgid dross.
Before you came, many of those on this site with anger-management issues took it out on a winger called Rajiv Van La Parra. Their main criticism of him was that he kept running into trouble instead of releasing the ball. You did the opposite. They're angry about that too.
Best wishes and hoping Qatar Sports Club don't play turgid dross.
BB

Frazier Campbell is a striker who would thrive on total attacking football as well but we don't because we don't play suicide tactics. He get's stuck in wherever and shows total dedication to the team, irrespective of what is happening. You can never judge anyone from a highlights reel, I'd look amazing with the right editing. Isaac Mbenza is the turgid dross. Anyone with a football brain more developed than an autistic monkey can see that. In the modern game you can't hide like Diakbenza did, there are tactics and more to being an attacker than just attacking. He hasn't got the mentality and doesn't deserve to be where he has been or deserve to earn the money that he does. Give me a player willing to work hard and learn over him any day of the week.

Spaffed millions on 3 or 4 that were worse players than those that got us out of league 1. And your mate isaak one of those. Effort, dedication and skill will take you a long way. Skill alone won’t. We saw a few glimpses last season that there may well be a player in there. But his effort and dedication tell me he’ll never make it

Apart from getting more goals and assists than all 3 of them combined ? * Sobhi didn't work out, but we got our money back so no real harm done. * Pritchard - like Mbenza - only had half a decent season amongst an otherwise shite spell, but when he was shite, he wasn't as shite as Mbenza. At least he wasn't actively hiding from the ball. * The greyhound chasing a balloon... well, he was cheaper. Nah, Pritchard used to hide too. Maybe not as regularly, but it was clear, especially at throw ins where he regularly left the likes of Hogg and Bacuna (yes, Bacuna) to go for the ball, whilst he'd conveniently run away. At the same time, this is a lack of confidence, not necessarily because of a shit attitude. A decent half season is pushing it too. Hopefully we're soon going to be able to stop comparing crapness 😄

Now that he's not done that, and has instead moved to one of the few leagues available to him, given that the transfer window is now shut, he's still proving what a "lazy greedy selfish person" he is. That's fair (not).

That's fair (not). He had no say at all in accepting terms it was the clubs choice to extend that’s on the club. the fact he then turned down many moves and then would only move to his current club if town released him meaning the club gets nothing but he gets a nice big signing on fee or he was happy to stay at town not playing does sort of suggest his all about the money and not the football.

That's fair (not). You are entitled to whatever bizarre opinion you want BB…. However, my view is that we bought a player who ‘looked’ like he had some ability and potential. We paid him wages that would make your eyes water whilst he did very little on the pitch - in either the PL or Championship. He ‘raised his game’ for a bit when his contract was running out and he thought he’d better impress potential future employers. When a move didn’t materialise he returned to his ‘can’t be arsed ways’….. ….. HT, having spent literally tens of millions of pounds to buy him and to fund his wages, exercised an option to extend his contract in the hope that IM would be transferred to another club for a teeny tiny minuscule fee….. …… IM apparently turned down numerous offers. Once the transfer window closed in the majority of countries, IM and his agent say that they’ve found a club he’s happy to go to - in the mighty Qatar league. He could have said please negotiate a fee and allow me to follow my boyhood dreams to play in a desert….. ….. but, no. Instead he says to HT, I’ll stay here and forsake that dream unless you release me from my contact so that my agent gets a touch and I get a golden hello from my new club. ….. he didn’t even have the good grace or self awareness to allow us to get a bit of ‘face saving’ fee for him. Rightly or wrongly, HT plucked him from relative obscurity and in a few short years made him a multi millionaire….. Hence, whilst wishing no ill or injury on him, I think he is a self serving, selfish, greedy, useless, lazy sod, lacking in professionalism and ambition.
