This reminds me of when Boro bid like £5M for Greaves during the summer of the 22/23 season. We kept him for two more full seasons and sold him for nearly four times that much.
I’m a little concerned that it’s being reported that we’d entertain offers above £10M for Hughes. We shouldn’t be entertaining any offers unless it reaches Jakirović’s £20M valuation. The party line should be that he’s not for sale this summer.
No way we should sell Hughes in our current position. We are sitting in 7th just outside the playoffs.....

And that would be pretty close to paying for Frigan and a 3-4M replacementAnything north of 12m he goes imo
I’d be offering Charlie Hughes a longer term and Improved contract.
It may only be valid until the end of this Season. Not sure on his current pay, but by all accounts it’s not at the level of others in the squad.
Look after and reward your assets.
Hughes is capable of a better move than one to a newly promoted PL team. I think he could move to an established PL team in 12-18 months.

Only if the Restriction is lifted if it’s not then don’t think about selling, if it does get lifted sell buy Frigan then use McCarthy to replace him and keep the remaining funds towards costs or Jan.
I can’t see Hughes wanting to go Coventry. They’re in a lot better position than us, but still too much of a sideways step. I could see him going to an Ipswich/Southampton this season and almost being guaranteed promotion, but I think the most likely scenario is waiting 12 months and getting a prem move.
Gelhardt coming back might have an impact as well, as daft as it sounds
