Anyone else feel like an emaciated dog who's just been thrown a bone? Probably all made up, but at least keeps our minds of the perceived transfer famine.
I can't help but comment on the grand irony that just a few days/hours ago our fans were suggesting that Huddersfield's signings were 'preparing for the Championship' and now we look like signing one of their loan players from last season that they didn't prioritise in getting themselves
You can't look at players in isolation. You have to consume what he would bring as part of a team and who he would be surrounded by. How the Manager intends to use someone as part of a team and a member of a squad. We obviously had no need of an Aaron Mooy or we would have made an effort to get him.
This is obviously more of the type of player that the Manager feels is needed to enhance the squad.

I have to say I have only really seen him a few times for England u21s and he has been stand out
And to be the only young player they have that even really gets a sniff of being In the squad for them tells me all I need to know.

You speak quite harshly in general about Ince, yet he had a better season than Brown did with a performing team around him. I struggle to imagine that Brown will end up anything above upper Championship quality, I even have some doubts of that. Perhaps I'm missing something, but I feel like I've watched enough games to make a decent judgement call.
It's fine to not care who they sign, to even to speak condescendingly about who they sign, so long as we have something better in the pipeline. I just found it amusing that this culminated in one of their former loanees that they seem to have passed up in favour of another.
Yep exactly. You can't deduce from any of the chatter that he'd be a "number one target", just part of an evolving squad. Good squads evolve. That's what's happened under Chris whereas, under Oscar and Sami, the squad regressed (due, presumably to the control exercised by D Burke).
I can't believe the number of people losing their shit over not doing "enough business" by 4 July. The squad picture is like a complicated jigsaw and either the last piece goes in around the end of the window or you try to pass off a picture missing a couple of pieces as ok. If your neighbours jigsaws are all missing more than 2 pieces, or they've put their pieces in wrongly, or bought a three piece Noddy jigsaw when everyone else has a 300 piece Monet reproduction or they've sacked the jigsaw owner after a couple of weeks then you're fine.
I was impressed with Izzy Brown last season. Great attitude too. Would fit in well and offers something different.
I may be wrong here, but i got the impression he was a bit of a mardy git, didn't he throw a massive strop when he was subbed in a match last season?

Brown's attitude seems to be a cut above that of Tom "Me Me ME" Ince.
Albeit though I watched him have a tantrum after being subbed somewhere.

Like you, I prefer AK by miles. Ince isn't good enough: as we'll see this season.

Indeed, I particularly enjoyed his great attitude when he had a hissy fit at coming off. That rings a bell.

I'm with you all the way on this Icy. Brown isn't even a striker, let alone a proven quality one. We do need (at least) one of those, but Brown will do me just fine as back up for Gross.
