I don't see Cajuste happening now though.
Do you not see Phillips and Morsy being very similar players? Don't you think we need someone like Cajuste to do the 8 role?

It will be very interesting to see what McKenna comes up with, can Morsy push on, will those two be initially rotated. It's a jigsaw that now has more pieces, but I'm not sure just how they fit.

The ex-Leeds player chose Ipswich over a number of other Premier League clubs.
Finally a player with a good head on his shoulders!
Possibly need Cajuste too yes, I think it could mean Taylor heading out though which based on pre season would be a bit disappointing. Humphreys will certainly be heading out on loan.

Really? That would be a surprise/disappointment to me.

I think Broja could be a real handful and an improvement on what we have, maybe a risk whether he'll find form. May allow Delap to move to the left wing, where he may be more effective (based on little knowledge on my part).

Are we starting to move from anxiously needing more players to being in danger of getting too many and unsettling the squad?! :lol:

No I think we needed a good 4 or 5, Centre Midfielder, striker x2 , Left wing, those 4 for and probably a number 10 and CB, so assuming we get......

Phillips
Cajuste
Broja ????
Ahmedhodvic
Szmodics

I would say it's pretty much job done apart from the wide man, how fab would it be to nab Jack Clarke late in the day.

Some mouth watering prospects for sure, it's frustrating things have to get so close to the season opener to start moving though. It has to take a couple of months to get players playing McKenna's system with 90% competency. We have to keep faith and keep heads up if we have a rocky start, I can't see it any other way if we're making 6 or 7 changes to a starting line up with half of those coming in at the last minute.

I haven't seen any updates on Cajuste since the Phillips news broke. Has anyone seen an update? Also, I've just read Broja unlikely to join Ipswich.

No update but it's been said he is on his way back from Italy after returning after the Brentford deal fell through.

I'm not disappointed his scoring record is poor.

Cameron Puertas another attacking midfielder, just another rumour I expect.

Dodged a bullet with Broja, not great record and just doesn't do it for me.

Get in! 31 England caps - strong, mobile. Athletic - if we can recapture his form this is a brilliant signing.

It’s looking like Phillips will be will be here, just waiting for official confirmation. He hasn’t performed well recently, but I see this as an astute signing by MA and staff. Phillip’s will be chomping at the bit to prove his doubters wrong, and under KM’s tutelage I can see him regaining his form.

Some Wet spam supporters have been saying he will not improve, he was bad last season & responsible for alot of poor results & the sacking of their manager.
Well sounds like he was a scapegoat & probably didn't like the taste of Jellied eels :) they were negative towards Ben Johnson also.

Much as I don’t mind Moyes - I think KM is different league and will get the best out of him. Obv pep is amazing but it’s probably hard if your not a big fish - here he will have the chance of be one of the main men

Doubt it! Probably get hit with another deduction by all accounts mate. Just can’t see where our goals will come from either.

Expecting very similar to last season.
Calvert-Lewin showing small signs of confidence returning.

Well best of luck to you, unless you're in a scrap with Town for 17th spot come April, in which case I wish you all manner of problems!!
Don’t be too shocked to see DCL leave before the window ends. And to be honest none of us are that arsed about it. He makes us better but he’s declined a very good contract offer so he do one after we supported him through his toughest times.

As for April. Hopefully we’ll both be safe!

It’s been confirmed by the EADT and just now by Talk Sport that Town have finally agreed to meet Blackburn Rovers £9m price tag for Sammie Szmodics.

I see it’s also been confirmed by the BBC and New York Times so I’m guessing there’s been a press release.

Wow, what a day.

It’s now all over the spirts press so it must be true.
Expect him at the ground on Saturday. He could even be on the subs bench given our lack of strikers. 👍

At least Szmodics is match fit and ready to roll in the team for Saturday and gets a hat trick against Liverpool :shock:
