Scott Malone

Hasn't played a minute in the PL yet. Do you reckon he regrets the move?

who knows, he might not have played for us either if he had of stayed. Probably on more money now too

[AlexW132]

He looked like he regretted it the second he left

[hovewhite]

Not always best thing ,like anything but more money its a hard life.

[MJG]

No, but I did say at the time of doubt he would start fifteen games in  the league. It was his chance of PL and had to take it.

[J.Perkins]

It be a backwards step for us if we kept him. We took the chance to accept £5m for a half decent championship LB, so that Sessegnon could have more of a chance.

[Lighthouse]

 Sess will always be better further forward. Which is why I think we brought in a loan replacement for Malone. Malone  was always good for us but neither we nor he could turn down the money or chance to play in the Prem.

He may well regret it, but he said himself that he had ambition to play in the PL and he obviously decided that a Huddersfield move would guarantee it, rather than wait for us to get there. It looks like he was just recruited as a back up, but it only takes an injury for him to get his chance.

It's possible that the club actively encouraged Malone to leave, to raise transfer funds. He cost us £635k (the cost of Jazz) and we sold him for £3.5 million

On a similar note, if Aluko's unhappy he may be sold to raise funds for any prospective transfers.

Aluko was a freebie, potentially bringing in a few million if he goes to Reading

Not sure what our nett spend is this window, but excluding loan fees i think we're under £10 million so far (not an official figure)

You have to say the fact we've generated almost £10m for nothing is pretty damn impressive. It basically means we got Fonte and an extra £1.5m for free.

I was sorry to see Malone go but the financial side as explained above makes sense.

Marcel, you beat me to this posting! I have been keeping an eye on his progress. I did not want he to go. There may have been something behind the scenes. He may not have got on with our Boss.

We wouldn't need him. Soares should be an upgrade, Sess and Odoi also there.
