I wouldn't be overly surprised to see Nakayama-san depart a few months early. It would be a shame, he was starting to look like a player when he got injured, but not so much now, more German mustard than Wassabi? |

Ben Jackson's contract is up in the summer but the club have option of another year so no need to cash in on him in January, same goes for Headley, and for Pearson - not that we'd be able to 'cash in' on him anyway.

Just seen that Everton set to recall Mason Holgate due to lack of game time and send him back out.pretty sure we could give him plenty game time.think he can play at right back as well as centre half.ideal for us.

A few little bits i heard. Diarra, has a contract on the table from Town to stay on, but is currently not signing it I would suggest if he doesnt sign he will be gone in January. Another first team squad member could leave the club in January, take a look at contract situations and it will give you a clue. Edwards, told he will be going back as Ollie Turton should be back during January. Rhodes, if we can get a striker in early doors then JR may not come back, however I am told Darren wants to have JR back if possible. Personally I think he would be a great option even if jsut for the bench one or two goals for JR could make the difference this season. Incomings we have made contact with a number of clubs and agents already and some positive discussions already to strengthen the squad, it could be the busiest January in years for us, especially if 3 leave we would need to bring 5 or 6 to strengthen the squad if this happens. Edwards should be going back even if Oliver Hardy makes a come back. |

Ah, few little bits someone who is 100% not at all connected to the club at all, has to share with us all. You can’t pretend you are a ‘season ticket holder’ of the last 25 odd years and come out of nowhere and state all this. I see a few on here still lap it up. You are remarkably similar to Htafc35 who used to post shite on here and quickly left. Coincidentally around the same time your new account came. |

If Diarra goes it's a bit of a metaphor for how our ambitions/hopes in the run up to promotion turned sour.
Along with Ayina and Camara, he was one of the marquee signings of the new academy model and a show of intent about how far we could go.
We've seen fleeting glimpses of the potential of all 3 in the first team, but it seems their agents have told them that there are better offers to be had or clubs to be at than ours.
So much like our stay in the Premier League, we had a bit of a taste and then will have to watch on as other more ambitious clubs take our place.
I don't see that there's much the new regime could do about it if he wants to go - but please make sure that it doesn't happen again.

Concrete interest in CBT for the January window. Was mentioned on deadline day in the summer but was never going to happen at that point. Possesses explosive pace & a powerful runner - can also play wing back but his preferred position is as a winger. I believe he is out of contract in the summer so Charlton should sell for a reduced fee although he is their MVP. Several other championship clubs interested so would be a coup if we can get it over the line. Anything else - is the window looking postive ? |

At the moment we need at least 4 new first team signings and 2 decent back up options, excluding any outgoings. If 2 or 3 players leave we'll need 8 or 9 new signings in total!! |

Promising to me that we’re aiming for players like Gelhardt, get 4 or 5 above average championship players like that and suddenly we’ve got a good squad. I suppose the challenge is convincing them to come to Huddersfield over teams like Hull… Is he above average ? Did nowt for the Chesties in the greedy league and can't get a look in this season, if they're happy to loan him out 🤔. Small, and only scored 6 goals in 75 games according to his Wiki page 🤷 I don't get the hype around the lad either, he's not what we want in my opinion, if we continue to hoof the ball we need someone who can compete for the ball & hold up play better. We might as well have one of those not scoring than a load of attackers who can't hold a ball up but still not score. |

Many at the club believe he will be a premier league player in a few years time. So, why the fuck are we not playing him? Makes no sense. He’s got something none of the rest of the squad have got. Talent. The coaches need to do their job and get some coaching done. |

Is he not predominantly a right winger? Either way I’d imagine because everyone knows we need to make signings that we will be linked with anything and everything that moves over the next few weeks. Seems he’s played on the left at least this season.I though he was a right winger.right footed. |

Talent. The coaches need to do their job and get some coaching done. because he is simply not ready to play week in week out in the championship, this I am sure if you have seen him come on recently you cant argue that he is ready. Some players take a little longer to be ready BD is looking like one of them he is still young enough to get stronger and improve, abilty is not in question other parts to his game currently are however all can be worked on just not to make a difference this season IMHO, especially when we are fighting for points to stay up. |

All the potential in the world, a really decent dribbler and works hard, but if he can’t pass, shoot, and score, then there’s no place for him in a championship team. |

When he has started games, he has looked way out of his depth. Struggling will not aid his development. Imagine Levi Colwill playing for Chelsea in the PL or Chilweel when we had them. Their careers would have gone backwards. Calm down dear. |

It’s called coaching though, isn’t it? That’s the point. He’s not going to improve by not playing is he? It’s not like we’ve got an abundance of talent in the squad when the likes of REG and Edwards get a game.

REG and Edwards are experienced players compared to Diarra. Diarra is young and overall has been pretty poor. By playing him, in this situation, it would ruin his development. He needs to be in League 1, getting minutes in a better environment. It has nothing to do with coaching. Player pathways differ. Are you telling me that Colwill should have been playing every week for Chelsea 2 years ago? Or was his move to us more beneficial? |

If Diarra plays Premier League football I'll be extremely surprised.
No doubting he looks good when he goes on one of those runs but he's so bad at both seeing the correct option and playing it. It's like he's got too many thoughts going through his head and ends up doing none of them.
Can that be improved or does he just lack that natural footballing brain of seeing the whole picture? Foden is a great example of this, he just knows what's around him without even looking.
Didn't Diarra grow up playing street football in Paris? I bet he's great at 5 a side as a result but it certainly hasn't helped him for the professional game compared to being in an academy from a young age.

I do understand what you’re saying and, in an ideal world, if we were doing okay in mid-table and he was on a long-term contract, then we’d have the luxury to loan him out. As it is, we’re utterly shit and will end up losing him for a pittance. |

Diarra will have his agent chirping in his ear, for obvious reasons. Sign a new deal, get a decent loan move in Jan and I feel we could see a much better player next season. |

I wouldn't be overly surprised to see Nakayama-san depart a few months early. On second thoughts, assuming he is selected, the Asian Cup (12/01-10/02) probably reduces any likelihood of that. |

He’s gone to Serie A. I don’t think anyone expected him to be playing in the first team immediately. A project player. Presumably he’s being coached and playing in the B team until he’s ready. Their squad isn’t paper thin like ours, so they have the luxury of time to work with him and develop him. It’ll be interesting to see how he does. Maybe he’ll make it, maybe he won’t. As for Diarra, I don’t see that we have much to lose in giving him more minutes. |

Like a rabbit in headlights and panicked an awful lot when he had the ball. Another one though, talent was evident. Personally, I feel agents get too involved. Camara, like Diarra now, was not willing to sign a new contract with us. It is a shame as both could and may well end up being worth a few million. I get what you're saying about Diarra, but when he has started games, he has been dire. He has had one or two brilliant performances off the bench when given 25/30 minutes though. |
