Would be very good work by LJ and Ashton if they manage to act this quickly for reid replacement. Im just hoping if it is Marriott we dont pay over the odds!

Still going to be a sickener to see Reid at Cardiff. But be pleased with Marriott, if we get him, the fact that posh fans rate him higher than Assombalonga and Gayle is very encouraging. It is disappointing with Reid. But if we sell flint/Reid and bring in Webster/Marriott, with Watkins already on board I don’t think that’s a bad start to the window. Also we would be in profit.

Not sure i agree with that from the footage ive seen (only youtube videos and Football league show) but then i don't watch him week in week out and they do have a history coaching good forwards.

Agreed I would also like us to pursue the scunny winger Adelakun? Looks like quite a powerhouse and is still very young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll rephrase - the core, and most reliable players we’ve had, over the last few seasons are poised to leave. Not signed by the current regime. Flint was one of those. Reid is so pivotal to everything we were building. I don’t trust the current board & management to spend this money wisely. If we hadn’t had loaned Diony in January - we could’ve been going out and spending over half of Bobby’s fee on him..... Thing is I don't know how much power we had over these 2, from what people say Bobby has had contract offers since March but not signed meaning he has to go this window, we can't afford to turn down £10m offers in that position. Flint just judging by some comments of his seems he's been happy to stay but also happy enough to move away, talking about how he is happy its been sorted quickly this year. Personal opinion but I think Flint had something stuck in his new contract in March that allowed him to leave. So I don't think Johnson and co had much choice. I trust LJ to replace Reid given our record of replacing strikers in the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick McCarthy had a high opinion of him and Kevin Beattie called him a PL player in the making. Two men who know a bit about centre halves. ... but not a patch on the experts on OTIB!

Tony Dinning like in his commitment. Pretty sure he only signed to be Stewart’s drinking pal, never seemed to want to play. Webster at 23 hopefully has his career ahead of him..

I agree, it was more a ‘don’t rely on the medical’ observation. Incidently, is it me or is it very rare we hear of players failing medical nowdays.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 13 hours ago, Davefevs said: Winging it? For me that was playing Smith and Brownhill at RB, not Wright, who played a reasonable amount of games there. I agree totally. Playing Wright at right back was ok and necessary at the time but not ideal, transfer windows were closed, playing Smith and Brownhill there and not signing a replacement in January was bordering on the criminal. My point is if they try the same thing again and not sign another right back and play Wright there again it will be winging it this time around because the necessity element has now gone and unprofessional.

EmersonsRed Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 My friend who is an Ipswich ST holder said this to me in my question of is he worth the money: "If he can stay fit then potentially yes, he’s played no more than 25 games in each of the last 4 seasons.

When Steve Gerrard was a youngster at Liverpool he was plagued by shin splints I seem to recall but with the right training/medical support etc. he overcame them.

Cidre Monita Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Webster is well known, has shown glimpses of great potential, but is injury prone, and is replacing a player who scored goals, pretty good at the defending , but also injury free. It is why he is joining us and no one else. LJ said last year, our biggest issue was caused by injuries. Do we actually know what we are doing ?
