cheshire_red Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 According to the editor of the Ipswich fanzine, who is very ITK, it's 10% to Ipswich not 20% of the profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If LJ to be believed in any case we're looking for 4 more signings. It's a bad thing going so late in the window though such a key man, no doubt.

Mattyisared Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 If the price is true I would take it. I think it's more than enough to reinvest in the positions we need and sign a replacement, I'd be most interested in Michael Hector. But another Chelsea centre-back I really like is Kenneth Omeruo. Looks like he's set to leave and played a whole season for a mid-table la liga side last season, has a lot of Turkish league experience. Given the clubs who are going in for him look to be foreign clubs and so don't have as much as a spending power as those in English football have, I think we could get him for relatively cheap actually. £4-5m if I had to guess, I'd want Hector as first priority and then look at a striker. Potentially Dwight Gayle? I know we were seriously linked with him a couple years back but he'd be a player I'd be looking at. Charlie Austin, Jarrod Bowen also players I'd look at.

Just feels like the old Bristol City cycle again right before a new season with promise and expectation, but then dashed with key players leaving. Funny thing i don’t. I am certainly not elated but who on earth thought a year ago we would be dealing in 20 to 30 m for one player. A sign the club is moving as a business. At the very least! Ok so who do we have. Moore Baker and Wright written off by an entire forum as not good enough before a ball is kicked after a horror showing of a pre season friendly by the bloke we are selling for a kings random. Yes there will be in coming. We need a better defensive midfield break up player obviously why Cissé had been brought back to coach and more goals from all over the field.

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 20 minutes ago, Super said: Especially as Trippier went for less! Yep we do maximise the income it seems. Two players and to a layman/casual fan "guess the price of the centre back" would be interesting. Player A has admittedly had a great Championship season, 24. Ball playing but that's it- a great Championship season and injury history. Player B has played in the CL, Turkish League and highly rated in the Bundesliga- aged 19, ball playing too. One has gone for £20-30m, the other has a 15m euros release clause in the event of relegation! The English market is pretty mental in all honesty- Atletico got a bargain there though.

CliftonCliff Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 14 minutes ago, RedM said: Baker WAS £4m signing, how much is he worth now, not even half with his sick record. We need strong, stability in the defence not filling in with Bailey Wright he doesn’t have to play right back! This feels wrong, and I bet Kalas is pissed off too. Same thought crossed my mind re Kallas. They worked fantastically well together last season and were probably looking forward themselves to building on that. It's football, and you just have to take it on the chin, but it's so, so disappointing. That pairing was one of the things I was most looking forward to watching this season.

It just goes to show that bringing the transfer window to a close earlier hasn't resolved the issues clubs' had with it last year - I'm not sure what was expected, whether the number of players available on a free will be higher or lower, how much more frantic January will be. Indirectly it could be good for the academy players of all teams but it does encourage teams to hoard players No, it was always a stupid idea and only beneficial to those at the top of the chain. It just creates a mad panic in England but no where else. What's the point? Just let the window play out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 "And I'm not saying you can't and I'm not saying you can't maximise the market but at the same time naturally if a Premier League club comes in for somebody then they'll want to go." "I thought he was slightly bogged down in his performance by the speculation and potentially in the game - and I would just advise any player really that you have to knuckle down and concentrate on the vehicle that you're in," the head coach admitted.

spudski Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 SL has said he won't stand in the way of a player wanting to play in the Premiership and better themselves financially. That's where we stand as a Club We put a value on a player...say it's 25 million with Webster. If a club comes in with that...and a player wants to go, to better themselves, we would be idiots to try and make them stay. Once heads have been turned they are never the same player imo. We'll have something lined up. Could be the domino effect that opens up so much for us. Can see loans and foreign players coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
