Top stuff from Jon Stead there, shows what a class guy he is. It's easy for me to say we never should have sold him now, but for the record I did big him up before the game!
He wasn't the best at Ipswich but he always gave it his best try and had the ability to make something from nothing. Would probably be a useful player to have around right now. |

Comment | Ipswich Strikers XI
at 23:30:09
Nthsuffolkblue: I was fully aware of all of those factors when writing this up but it was just a bit of fun. It was always going to be bit of a stretch to get 11 'strikers' in, but I'd like to think people enjoyed it.
BackToRussia: I think that Scotland could do something in central midfield, would be entertaining to see him there at the very least! I also think that Murphy could be half decent at centre back, again would be funny to see. |

Comment | Campbell Could Be Recalled Claim

Although he was pretty awful at Leicester along with everyone else we really need him. Don't know who else will get the goals we need.
January can't come soon enough, give McCarthy money and he will do the rest! |

Guess it worked well for Newcastle to give their manager a long contract. Shows commitment and the players know there will be stability. Hopefully this will be a good move. |

Comment | Campbell's QPR Career May Not Be Over
at 15:50:43
Basically, if he plays crap we can have him but if he hits form then QPR will keep him.
Always best to include an option to buy clause before agreeing to the loan but I'm guessing it wasn't possible. |

Great blog, really interesting way to go with it.
I'd struggled to disagree with most of those picks, might have gone with someone other than Bullard but it is slim pickings.
It would be interesting to see someone make a similar 11 but exclude loan players. That would be even harder! |

Comment | Are Town Becoming More Financially Efficient Or Still Wasteful?
at 15:03:52
Interesting points and I think you are right about where the game is going. More and more clubs will rely on free transfers or paying small amounts for players.
I'm not sure if we are at that stage yet though. Peterborough are the perfect example of a club that sells at the right time. They bought Taylor for £5,000 and sold him for around £2 million when he only has 9 months remaining on his contract.
I'd like to see us be a bit more crafty in the transfer market, I think the only good deal we have done is selling Wickham. The sales of Trotter and Rhodes should have been dealt with better. |

Fair points rosseden. I totally agree with Lee Martin, it is something that I now wish I mentioned in the blog.
My main point is that the club haven't sold players at the right time. I think most other clubs do their business differently too. I think that we should have either got Martin, Hyam and whoever else is out of contract to either sign a contract in this window or sell them. Losing Martin would be hard to watch but it would make it less painful if we got some decent money for him.
I see your point about the cost of relegation but I can't see us going down with or without Lee Martin.
I wouldn't worry about the moaners. I have written stuff for a different site where nobody comments and trust me it is better that someone disagrees to start a discussion rather than no one commenting at all lol. I always enjoy reading a variety of opinions too |

Comment | Town's Bid Only Offer Accepted for Posh Duo
at 15:10:53
You would have thought so NITFC but if the rumours are true then they were looking for 15k or more. I agree if they asked for 7-10k a week we should sign them but over 15k would probably stretch the budget too far |
