Transfer Rumours - New Signings for Towns Premier League Squad 2024/25

[shabba]

Chelsea looking to sell Hutchinson at around £25 million I saw today I know he's a prized asset but not at that price but I do think we should put a strong bid in for him or push for another loan period I'm sure Kieran will ask Mark Ashton to pursue his signing

I’d say he is worth 20m, he was very good towards the end of last season. Probably capable of playing in the premier league now, even if we went down he’d likely wreck havoc in the championship next season.

[Dubai Blue]

If he develops on in the coming season then he ill soon be worth waay more than 20mill IMO. All down to how much further KM thinks he can develop I guess. If he pushes on and we go down, then maybe we would be able to sell him and dig up another jewel, using the funds to support our push for promotion.

Although I don't like this way of thinking. We are heavily backed, have a wonderful backroom team, we are not going to get relegated. We should be pushing on for Europe.

Everyone is entitled to an oppinion, but PLEASE don't tell me you expect Town to be challenging for a European place next season!??

I mean last season was a miracle.....but EUROPE?

[hallamblue]

“Success” is not a measure of the position in which you currently stand, but the direction in which you look!

Had that on a poster on my wall in my uni years…. I think DB is simply alluding to the fact that we should be LOOKING to achieve the highest progression possible. Ashton and Co definitely are…..” we are not here to make up the numbers”. Fighting talk indeed. Unrealistic? Who’s to say it’s not possible. No one gave this Club a chance when promoted to the Championship ( given our squad )…. Look what happened! You just take the MODEL and repeat but at a higher level. No one expects us to survive. It’ll be difficult for sure. But as a club we might just surprise a few once again. Just because others place limited expectations on us, doesn’t mean we have to as well.


Let’s see where we go ….. hell, let’s AIM for top 6!!

[Bluemike]

I think its right to aim high, to strive for mediocrity is a recipe for disaster. I certainly I don't believe we'll go straight back down again, depending on if we get our signings right I'm predicting 12th-15th.

[ITFC2024]

I think if we shore up our defence, there's no reason we can't survive. Top 6 is a bit of a stretch in my opinion, but sure it's fine to aim high. I'm a tad nervous in all honesty by the number of goals we conceded in the Championship. Like many others, it has been my belief for a long time that defence is our main weakness. I just want us to compete and not be embarrassed by lopsided defeats.

[Bluemike]

Defence is our main weakness but its important to remember that the way we play got us promoted and that includes the concession of so many goals, a high risk strategy that paid off, now its the Premier League the focus has to be more on tightening up the defence with maybe just a tad less of a gung ho approach while attacking, just a little, we won't change too much in our approach.

[ITFC2024]

Latest media speculation stating we’re in for Hutch & Almiron at 50-mil for the pair! Bloody hell, I hope that’s wrong. I mean I’d love to have those players, but that’s a bit dear. We need to save some money for CBs and a striker. Here we go again!

Onboard with 12th - 15th area. A sort of Crystal Palace / Brentford type season.

Personally, ——>> I feel there is not a snowballs chance in hell of Europe. And if HE, (the Most High) manages to negotiate the mighty ITFC to Europe, then it’d be confirmed that the modern day rebirth of Sir Eck Fergie has arrived —->> AND he’s @ Ipswich Town.
But nope ——- absolutely nae danger.
After Burnley (and Forest running close to the trapdoor) ……. Survival would be a VERY good achievement.

[ITFC2024]

Just don’t want us to put all of our eggs in one basket. We should know there’s a risk, Sereni, F. George, Le Pen etc.

you know we're making progess when we're linked to fifty million potential transfer deals. (However) Seems ludicrous, a case of running before you can walk. We don't possess that area of money to spend on players at least not until selling our most prize assets and how much are they really worth anyhow. We wouldn't really get anywhere near it. Market today is out of proportion and misguided although it's been that way for some time with it. Say we sell on Morsy, Chaplin, Broadhead for starters, three of our best and most influential players, how much can we feasibly be expected to get for them in total. No-one can put a price on it because whatever is stated or suggested it would be invariably incorrect.

on your last point, do we even need new strikers or forward players. Last looked there were an abundance of them at our disposal but guess not all are going to be needed for the new season at EPL level and some are destined to move on someplace else. The goals in the team aren't a problem, we've scored about the highest of all teams both in the championship and League 1 past two seasons. Suppose the next step up requires better quality and some are now going to be surplus. But really, goal scoring doesn't appear an issue for us. Some would argue we're ready for premier league defenses as it is.

Have to say I agree with your comment of running before you can walk AP. Although we want to give ourselves the best chance of staying in the Premiership just throwing money at it doesn’t always work. We have to be careful in case things don’t go as we hope next season. Fortunately I think a lot of the speculation that will know doubt be doing the rounds in the next couple of months will turn out to be bs and I’m fairly confident that we will be sensible in what we spend on players.

[shabba]

We should easily have 50-70m to spend on players (total) this summer, we lost 18m last year and now we are getting 100m in Tv money.

I said it before re Almiron, the lack of any sell on is the worry, if we want to be sustainable then when we spend out big on a player they need to have a possible higher futures value or at least be someone you could keep for 7-8 seasons.

I suspect it’s just because he is known to be available.
If he was a free signing (on decent wages of course) or sub 10m I’d be very keen.

Omari makes sense, he could easily be a 50m player if he can keep developing, even if he didn’t then you might end up having many many seasons out of him or at least selling for similar money, so the overall cost of asset is low.

It would surprise me if we do many deals like the almiron one, maybe he would be a one off and the rest would be better value in long run terms due to future value etc.

probably BS but £45 million for a 19 year old, I'm thinking click bait

£45M for someone from Sheff Utd who had been on loan at Burton Albion? You are having a laugh (I hope!). The whole article reads badly too - 'the blue and white stripes...'?? Nothing doing here for me.

[shabba]

Hahaha WTF. Utter BS, article states we have other players to play alongside him like Maculy Bonne and Joe Pigott - erm

[Bluemike]

It sounds bull but I have seen another article linking us to Jebbison.

Leeds-live is entertaining isn't it? Spent a couple mins reading about Jebbison and 10 mins reading about the Gogglebox stars.

[arana peligrosa]

No chance in hell this club will part with 45 million for one player. Not today, not in the future, not ever. Up until recent we didn't seem to have a pot to p*ss in and the whole time Evans was in ownership we hardly ever paid out on actual transfers other than loan deals. Maybe that isn't entirely correct, haven't got the time or inclination to argue the point, and tried hard to forget the whole time here were with us and the absolute damage that came with it, but actual paid for players coming in, they sure seemed few and far between.

Lo and behold we're now supposed to be looking at spending amounts that are coming in that a year / 18 months back would have been better tailored to April 1st. It's not amusing, it's not credible, it's merely not beyond horseshit. The kid mentioned we're supposed to be focused on, not once heard of the player and where's he at, Sheffield United.. Yeah like they're going to be involved in transaction deals of that nature - and with us.

Bottom line it's garbage for lack of better word although the pity is there'll be a great many suckers in our fanbase led to believe it or insist on it's credibility.

It was posted as a point of discussion, Saint......, KL even said its clickbait......., and YOU clicked?! You a sucker as well?

There’s no way in hell we’ll off load 45-mil for one player.

[Charnwood]

There’s no way in hell we’ll off load 45-mil for one player.

I can’t think of any player we could off load for even a third of £45m

[hallamblue]

According to some on twtd, Woolfenden

[Bluemike]

Well nowhere near that amount but I was reading a report the other day that he is our most valuable asset at 7.5 Million.

Guessing you mean "spend" , ITFC24? I agree with you there, ........, think many fans would be more than a little irritated if that sort of dough was splashed on ONE player in the FIRST season back in the EPL. And the USA pension holders would have sweat running out their buttcracks.

Lol, what above the likes of Hirst?

Well if we can con a club into paying that for him, let’s by all means sell him , and quick!
