  • Revealed: Town's poor 'chemistry rating' for Premier League relegation campaign

    3 days ago | eadt.co.uk | Stuart Watson

    What came before... Town's back-to-back promotions were built on settled line-ups and, with it, an almost telepathic team chemistry. In the second half of the League One season, it was Walton; H.Clarke, Woolfenden, Burgess, Davis; Morsy, Luongo; Burns, Chaplin, Broadhead; Hirst stamped on the team sheet week after week. In the Championship campaign it was Hladky; H.Clarke/Tuanzebe, Woolfenden, Burgess, Davis; Morsy, Luongo; Burns/Hutchinson, Chaplin, Broadhead; Hirst/Moore.

    The most successful of those recruits, 12-goal striker Liam Delap, is close to departing after Chelsea triggered a £30m relegation release clause. Fellow England U21 attacker Omari Hutchinson reportedly has a £35m release clause, while Premier League clubs have been credited with interest in the likes of Leif Davis, Ben Johnson and George Hirst.

    AT LEAST ONE KEEPER... Let's be honest, Town have got themselves in a bit of pickle when it comes to the goalkeeping department. Aro Muric, an £8m signing from Burnley, made too many high profile errors in the first half of last season and was eventually dropped around the turn of the year. Able deputy Christian Walton stepped up, did well, but then suffered a groin strain. Town rushed out and signed Alex Palmer for £2m from West Brom on January deadline day.

  • Town announce 2025 summer retained list following Premier League relegation

    5 days ago | eadt.co.uk | Stuart Watson

    It brings formal confirmation that midfielder Massimo Luongo, a key man during back-to-back promotions, has been released. Blues boss Kieran McKenna recently explained his decision to let the 32-year-old - hailed as 'possibly the best free agent signing ever' - move on. Marcus Harness has also been released, the Blues not taking up their option to extend his deal by 12 months.

    The Blues are likely to announce their retained list in the next few days, with the transfer window opening on Sunday. Top-scorer Liam Delap is on the verge of a switch to Chelsea after his £30m relegation release clause was triggered, with Ipswich understood to have made enquiries about young strikers Marc Guiu (Chelsea) and Divin Mubama (Man City).
