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

[Bluemike]

We need to strengthen, that is obvious, let's not lose sight of the fact Omari and Sarmiento don't strengthen us, we had them already.

[hallamblue]

I'd be surprised if we are seriously interested in him, I don't see this as better than what we already have.

I recall Ashton saying we are continuing to build for the here and now, and the future. So when a young talent becomes available or is identified we act…. I suspect IF the rumour has credibility it’d be in the “ one for the future” category and not the PL final 25squad….

[marko69]

Chris Smalling springs to mind as a good example of national league to champions league

Yes, and as previously mentioned, Andy Roberston at Liverpool, …… but they were surrounded by major talent.
Thinking if Ipswich Town FC want to consolidate EPL survival, got to be looking no lower than Championship players.

I mean ……. YES…… go get them, get them out on loan etc etc etc……. But hopefully a first team will come together in the next 5 or 6 weeks. Let Scotland winning the Euros get out the way first.

I don't understand your point, if we sign this guy its like signing a youth player, i.e not a first teamer etc. It won't stop us signing first team player at a level we need.
A national leaguge player is never going to command any sort of high fee.

Thats because you missed the point. I didn’t say the guy would be a “first teamer”……. I said, “yes, sign him, get him out on loan”

My reference to the term “first team” meant ——>> hopefully we see what that first team is in the next few weeks……. After the euros.

You like to disagree with people eh shabbs?

That’s a very good point. I’d love to have Sarmiento back, especially on loan. I’ll never agree with spending loads of money on Omari…sorry thanks for the memories. I really want us to sign a strong & versatile striker, preferably a foreign player. I’m not too interested in available British players right now and they’re well overpriced anyway.

I don't agree to that!!



But seriously, I just wasn't sure what you were getting at. We will sign alot this summer, some first teamers and some for the future, we have no idea what order that will be in.

One could argue that at least with young players they should improve - i.e if you had a team of amazing 20 year olds and didn't sign anyone, vs a team of solid but peaked 30 year olds - then over a 3 year period the first option would be alot better choice.

Hopefully I've explained it right, a young player can get better every season 'for free', i.e your team is better without having to make new signings.

Still - I would say Omari would just be one of many signings needed, we need to level up for sure in some positions. I do believe Omari is capable of playing Premier league football, and likely could be a very decent Premier league player in 2 years time.

I do hope you disagree with some opinions in your spare time though, Shabba....... We don't need to pay for it do we?

You bloody nincompoop !

SORRY..... Stepped into the abuse room there.

[ITFC2024]

Aargh! John Gow is on to you Shabba! Take shelter! The tam & the kilt is after you! Like blood shot eyes on it’s way to Sullom Voe & Orkney, and a stop by Glenfiddich…for a shot or two. Captain Kidd will shed his rum now and proclaim, I’m an Ipswich supporter! c*cks!

(Can't abide short answers on a message board, it's a waste of participation, but - )

Is it possible to get a translation for the above.

Fixed that for you, IT24. (also changed c*cks to the word you really meant )

What happened to the quilt?

Not transfer related:

I see TH has kept his job at Man Utd. Tbh if I was him I’d tell them to stick it. They’ve shown absolutely no respect to the man and frankly are a disgrace of a club.

I think most of the fans wanted him to stay as well. I wish him luck winning over that circus!

Someone needs to go in there, bomb anyone with a bad attitude out (sucking up the cost of that), get rid of who you can etc but dont even let the bad ones near the club/1st team.
Bring in a few really good leaders and standard setters, Henderson etc springs to mind, then some good youngsters/ones from the academy and just let that mature over time.

[Bluemike]

Well if it doesn't work out for Ten Hag thus time we can expect more Mckenna crap to resurface and next time it won't end so well.

[hallamblue]

As ITFC2024 says it’s a circus at that club, but with any doubt that’s where McKenna will end up at some point. And you’re right Mike, we’ll get this media circus until he does eventually leave us. I’ll give him one more season here, two at absolute best. I’ve resigned myself to that.

[marko69]

Unless rock bottom @ Xmas…….. then he can GTF from ITFC(in)2024

[arana peligrosa]

The F.A. Cup games and eventual victory would have saved his as*. It were a real shame Coventry missed out at the semi final stage, was hoping for sure they would go on to win after turning it around, but United showed a certain level of resilience and focus to go on to win. Not only that they pulled star prize by overcoming MCFC at the final game stage when many thought it impossible or didn't give them a chance.

Guess after that Ten Haag could do no wrong for a while and reached something like hero status to the fans there. If they'd failed, if United had won nothing, he'd be out, vacated, fired, there's no two ways about it.

As an aside suppose McKenna were to ever take charge there. What they need is another League Championship to keep the club name in with company of the EPL elite - McKenna for all the good he's done here, just isn't a name to provide it. It's been like 10 years or more since MUFC won the league title, the years can only get further the longer they go without and truth seems McKenna isn't a candidate to change that statistic. They need to look higher or set sight on a more established, long term proven name if they hope to be League Champs once again.

[ITFC2024]

No disrespect to Kieran, but as I said before it’s silly to even consider McKenna for the ManU job at this point in his career. TH is the right man for the job right now. You have to consider, ManU has been plagued with injuries. No manager can overcome that kind of duress. I’m not particularly a fan of TH, but he’s far more qualified to be their manager than Kieran McKenna.

Anyway, let’s move on. f*ck ManU!

[Charnwood]

Until this years FA Cup Final I don’t think I realised how big a rebuilding job Ten Hag had done at MU and I guess it’s still worki in progress. With this in mind I also think it’s shrewd move by United to keep him on board and could save them a fortune not bringing in a new man who would want to start all over again.

I think United’s FA Cup winning team had at least 8 different players in the starting line up compared with the previous season and two of these were teenagers Garnacho and Mainoo who scored both of United’s goals. TH must take the credit for this especially against such a strong Manchester City team.

[hallamblue]

Lol, I see what you did there marko ...

[hallamblue]

Not sure if this player has been mentioned eighoug scrolling back over all the posts and links on thus thread.... but this came up on my phone just now : Spurs young defender


https://www.spurs-web.com/spurs-news/re ... velopment/

[shabba]

Yep, linked a while back - was at Millwall last season.
Probably an OK free transfer, add some squad depth and save some cash for the big transfers



*not that we would dare spend over £15m on a player.

[Bluemike]

Saw a link today regarding Joe Rodon, would love that to happen.

yeah was linked a while back to, would make alot of sense, and no doubt his Welsh team mates here will be giving him good feedback about the club.

As always with Spurs, the fee/transfer negotiation will be the 'fun' part. i.e Mr Levy.

[shabba]

Random but I recon we only have 17 players, and I'd say a few of them are likely to move on like Walton, Harness, maybe Al-Hamdi (loan). Hladkey situation needs sorting too.

GK: Hladkey* Walton

RB: Axel Clarke
CB: Wolfie Edumdson
CB: Burges
LB: Davis

CM: Morsy
CM: Masimo Taylor

RW: Burns
AM: Chaplin
LW: Broadhead Harness

CF: Hirst Al-Hamadi


Youngsters you'd expect to go out on loan:

Slicker
Baggot
Humpreys

Players surely surplies to requreiments:

Ladapo
Ndaba
El Miz
Ahadme




I'd like to see:


GK: Hladkey* new GK

RB: Axel Clarke
CB: New CB Edumdson
CB: Burges Wolfie
LB: Davis new Backup lb

CM: Morsy Masimo
CM: new cm Taylor

RW: new RW Burns
AM: new AM Chaplin
LW: new LW Broadhead

CF: new CF Hirst Al-Hamadi


So 7 new signings, plus 2-3 more to add depth.

[ITFC2024]

I don’t consider Taylor a Premier League player. Good report, but I think we need to spend money on defence and a striker. Maybe a bargain goalkeeper too. Yes and a quality CM to replace Taylor.

Taylor is fine as a backup though, I very much expect us to sign a new CM to parter Morsy.
Agree we probably need more spent in the defense, RB as well perhaps.
