The point being Ipswich signed him in a promotion season. Clearly they rated his ability. If Lampard views Torp as more of an attacking midfielder then this could also work

He was signed on loan by Ipswich in their promotion season and at the time they had Morsy and Luongo. I think its because we have so many similar players. If we sold Sheaf this would be a good signing in my opinion

Not automatic on allens case. Club option

So no wingers then?

A lot of teams seem to be doing the behind closed doors route these days. Some have even said they cant announce the opposition they are playing in those games

They did the exact same with Shipley and sold him within a month of him extending the contract. We may well end up keeping him but if he leaves we get a fee which is still more than letting him go which you seem to be advocating.

He agreed a contract where the club could extend it by a year. They are protecting their asset. Why would they agree to a free transfer if he they could get a small fee?

Given your contract length question he now has 6 months less than that alleged bid so is therefore worth less

But then they dont get a fee. Same with the Shipley situation.

Nobody is paying 15 million for him even if he had 4 years left. Just isnt happening.

Has 2 years left. They could always just wait and hold us to ransom in 12 months i guess.

I wasnt aware you had followed Braus career that closely to form this opinion. We signed Grimes, one of the best players in his position in the division, and Paterson came in when we were short and scored a goal that helped us reach the play offs. Only one of these cost a fee too.

So you want the same as we got for Hamer? As good as he is we arent getting an offer close to that

Enough to replace him and get a couple of other players. Nobody wants him to leave but the reality is this is the best time to sell him for maximum value. Leave it a year and he is into the last 12 months of his contract and theres no chance of getting north of 10million.

What if we get a great fee for him and can sign 2/3 players to replace him and strengthen other areas?

Read something on X that we are in for Alfie Gilchrist. This would fit both RB and CB cover

Bo update required. You mentioned the word wash

He barely played much last season so im not

While that may be partly true all agents leak information so its very hard now to make a signing nobody is aware of in advance

They are trying to sell a few peripheral players as well. On the reverse side we would no doubt prefer to buy after 30th June so it goes against next seasons totals.
