Huddersfield Town say no — this time

The offer from West Bromwich Albion for Jack Taylor was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Alfie McNally

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Huddersfield Town have done the hard part with West Ham United, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Transfer targets

Huddersfield Town bid $84.0K for Alexander Atkinson

The offer went to Birmingham this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
