Ali Al-Hamadi

Apparently signed a long term contract at Ipswich Town.

One that got away?

On paper it looks it, his time at the club though he had the likes of Ayew, Bony, Baston, OMB, Brewster in front of him and he wanted to leave to at the time for 1st team football.

We couldn't offer that to him at the time given the players in front of him at that stage in his career.

Surely a couple of loans away might have been a good shout?

Admittedly may just have started to shine but in light of Whittaker, Gyokeres etc I'm doubtful

Heard it’s for 1.5m

Did we have a 100% sell on clause?

Another former Swan on the move - this time to Ipswich Town ahead of Leeds United interest

There was genuine hope when Ali Al-Hamadi was at Swansea that we had another star for the future but he is now back in the Championship having been snapped up b

See how he gets on before bemoaning our fortunes. He really only had a short few months playing u21s football with us due to injury, and despite his massive size advantage never impressed at u18s level the same way strikers like Cullen, Iwan Morgan, josh Thomas did. Was offered a contract to stay on but he wanted to pursue first team football instead (as he put it) and was nowhere near ready to do that with us at the time.

We won't be due anything (beyond a fraction of a training fee maybe, was only with us 3 years) as he was unemployed for a while before joining Wycombe and then dropped down again to Wimbledon. Fair play to him if he's managed to get himself up to this level, I honestly didn't see it in him even when he had that short purple patch in the u21s.

I forgot he went there via Wycombe, and also wrongly assumed that he went straight from us to Adams Park.

Good luck to the young man, I wish him all the best (apart from whenever he faces us).

Didn't do much whilst at Wycombe - no return in 9 games and I think Derby didn't fancy him either.

L2 to this level is a jump - possibly thinking he may get a bump in wages if they go up to. Good move for him but timing just didn't work out for him whilst here.
