TWTD Mike.
someone with some Chelsea connections, yes it’s reliable and this kid is absolutely mustard.
That said, regardless of reliability of the source, this guy was knocking on door of first team last year so it’s hard to see that CFC would let him go somewhere to be a backup to Broadhead/Burns. Maybe there’s an unexpected outgoing coming? Or Burns injury more serious than we thought?
Taken from a post on TWTD.

This might mean no Rak-Sakyi I would think.

Yer, that’s just what I was thinking ….
Omari is an attacking MF/ winger…. At that age he don’t count towards that 25man named squad will he.

Wonder if Phil Ham has been asked to keep a lid on things by the Club. We certainly go our business under the radar these days don’t we.

Very true, it seems he is going out on loan in that case why wouldn't he come to Ipswich not far from home and a club on the rise.

I’d be happy with this, talented youngster to give burns competition without the challenge of bringing in a permanent who is expecting to start.

Not sure he would fit into our squad........lol, he does look like a handful and promising talent, would be great to get him for a season, would definitely help bring his game on under KM.
Burns would have his work cut out holding onto that RW place but competition would be good for him. Imagine Broadhead on the left and this lad on the right, defence would not know where to go lol.

Forgot about Kyle, sorry Kyle lol.
Yes, our attacking prowess would be spot on, just need Trusty and maybe another CB if poss but not essential, and we will be looking good.
On a side note, you seen the new staff pics on ITFC, MP looks like he belongs on D Wing lol, the look

We do look very potent in attack for sure, still feel a top CB is a must though.
No I haven't seen the staff pics yet lol, will do at some point though

The well informed twtder’s are adamant that our CB’s especially Woolfie are the dogs Bollox and will have no problems in the Championship. We shall see ….

What do they know, it is common knowledge that KM wants another CB, without one I think we will be vulnerable defensively.

Hutchinson and Rak-Sakyi.
Both of them please !
Young exciting attacking minded players against opposition's tired legs in 2nd halves of games would look promising.

Reckon we’re going for Hutchinson coz we possibly can’t get the palace player now? What you reckon?

I read Palace are short of numbers so Hodgson won't make a decision on Rak-Sakyi just yet but it read like he will ultimately go out on loan.

Well if he does come in as well as Hutchinson snd Trusty …. There are going to be 3-4 players needing to leave . We’re already on about 27 senior players I think .

There's 27 on the club site atm but that includes Hayes who I believe is going out on loan, Baggott the same and Humphreys who I don't believe counts, so I'm hoping it's 24, I can see Edmundson, Jackson and maybe even Harness looking possibles to suddenly go.

Does Omari count in the numbers game due to his age?
I am the same as you Mike, reckon Jackson & Edmundson could be surplus if we get 1 or 2 CB's in so numbers go back up, Harness possibly but he has had a good pre-season so far so maybe saved him.
Will be the same as previous, MA will do his numbers so we will be right on the limit.

I don't think Omari or Trusty would count no so that's good if so.

Not sure how you understand this though…..I’d heard they do count ….then I saw this ….how do you interpret this ?
25 Players
Clubs in the Championship shall be permitted to name up to a maximum of 25 Players, of which a minimum of 8 must be a Home Grown Player. Under 21 players (other than those who are on loan at the Club) do not need to be named on the Squad List to be eligible to participate in a League Match.
