Huddersfield Town Q&A: Transfers in and out

Our final tranche of questions from you lovely lot

We covered the first load of questions on our podcast Q&A - you can listen to that here if you’ve not already.

As you’ll know from part one of the written section (or in case you missed it), there were so many questions that we’ve split them into two parts. You’ll find the first section here, covering your financial, stadium and tactical queries.

Thanks once again for all your contributions! If we’ve not covered yours below or in the podcast, it’s probably because we’ve addressed it in the course of answering a similar question or because we already have a separate piece dedicated to the topic planned in the not-too-distant future.
