I have been a fan of this club for nearly 40 years, this has to be the best transfer win since sir Bob.Paul Hurst is I hope going to turn this club around, we need to give him time and we may lose some games, but ultimately we may go in the right direction. We have players now if are any good might take us to the promised land or who we can sell on at a hopefully big profit. Hope everyone else feels the same or has expectations and hopes |  | | |  |

For the first time in over a decade I feel genuinely excited and nervous, rather than forcing myself to be optimistic. Up the towen |  |

Don't agree. Losing two proven goal scorers in return for a hotch-potch of buy one get one free 1st Division players, who will keep our own youngsters out of the team,
is not how I hoped to see this season going.
Frankly it has the potential to be an utter shambles.
But who knows. There is a theory that if you give a million monkeys a million typewriters they will eventually come up with the works of Shakespeare!! |  | | |

If we want a chance of getting out of this league its probably our best chance. Buy potential if unproven talent to take us forward and in some cases generate further cash and repeat. It needs someone who knows the lower leagues, can spot talent (i like how hands on Hurst is) and can develop them/fit them in right system. Its not full proof and its risky BUT we dont have another way.
I think first casualty of this not always working is Roberts. Cant see him getting much game time but was an early shot to nothing. | |

We wont know if it is a good window until we have seen if the lower division players can step up. Certainly a good window for evans as spending minus £4m means he won't have to put much money in this season |  |

Yep.
To carry on repeating the mistakes of the past few years would be insanity. I actually paid money to watch a game on Saturday and am planning on continuing.
I’m excited.
I’m in. | | | |

I was hoping to see some of our youngsters get game time with us but fear that, especially when Huws and others are fit, their chances may be few. Hopefully some will get out on long loans and develop that way.
Ads for the monkeys... A million would never do it. It would need to be an infinite number. |  |

Here’s my problem, it may have been mentioned elsewhere, but I can’t be arsed to read all this thread and I’ve had a few beers tonight:
Let’s say we have a pretty good first season under Hurst. We end up finishing, say 8th to 12th, not good enough for play offs but exceeding most pundits expectations, won’t we be faced with exactly the same issues this time next year? I.e. the better performers, players and/or management, will be cherry picked by bigger/richer/more prepared to take a gamble clubs, and ME will sanction a similar budget to this year to buy from lower leagues and we end up getting stuck with a perpetual rebuilding project of a squad? Having said that, I’m intrigued and enthusiastic about this season to come nevertheless. |  | | |

We could be the surprise package of the season and go straight up! in a way, you could say that wouldn't actually be such a surprise, given how things have panned out.
Anyway, it's wonderful to be looking forward to the season ahead for ITFC with hope and excitement, instead of a sort of resigned dull grey feeling  |  |

It would certainly be a surprise to the bookies and pundits who all have us nailed on to get relegated! :)
I still don't get why people are so excited about signing Div 1 and 2 players.
I seem to have entered a parallel universe!! :) | | | |

As a fan I can’t understand your reasoning about us selling players for a big profit. I want to see them perform well for us, and to stay with us season after season getting us closer to promotion. Realistically we’re not getting promoted this season, so chances aren’t come next season any player who has performed well will get snapped up by the likes of Derby and we will be back to square one. |  | | |

The same bookies that had Sunderland pretty much nailed on to return to the premiership you mean.
The same L1/L2 type players that we have always relied on from the Robson era to the Thompson's, Holland's, Johnson's Mcgreal's , Wright's, Marshalls ect you mean.
Not sure you are in a parallel universe, but you have certainly overlooked who we are. | |

Agreed.
It will just be an endless loop.
When did money from big sales ever buy us big players? It has just landed us a bunch of Div 1 or 2 players most of whom will probably not cut it at this level but those that do will be sold.
Why are Ipswich fans so grateful for nothing...........I simply can't get my head round it! | | | |

The sale of Keiron Dyer, a very big player at the time, financed Town's promotion to the Premier League back in 2000 ...
Are you really a Town fan or just another budgie in a panic about what might happen this season? | | | |

That's the spirit!
To be honest I'm just looking forward to us playing better and more entertaining football with a team of players that have points to prove. Where that takes us I do not know. Personally I am excited. | | | |

Probably one of the most pathetic posts I've ever seen on here. If you'd take time out to look at Jackson, Nolan and Nsala you'd see they're talented. If you'd managed to get to PR last week you'd have seen there's real talent and quality in Edwards, Harrison and Chaloba particularly. Mixed with some of the quality in our youth, there are exciting partnerships all over the park.
We've sold Garner and Waghorn. Big deal. Neither one hearts and minds last year. Thought the doom and gloom merchants died with Mick. |  |
