We are firmly a League 1 stroke League 2 outfit.... 00:18 - Aug 14 with 14350 viewseddiespearitt03

So Kieffer Moore lined up for a £2 mill move. Yet he was prevented from a chance to flourish at this club despite only costing 10 grand. We can all probably guess why he was not given time.

Looking at the kind of players we are now recruiting it is near on certain it is going to be another frustrating time watching football at Portman Road.

Not entirely true is it? More like, he flourished at L1 level and his value rocketed. Barnsley came in with a bid 70x what we paid for him and Evans said 'Yes'.

But yes, 'booo Mick' too


That's not entirely accurate either. And he did look poor in his limited appearances for us.

His performance away at Norwich was genuinely one of the worst I have seen from a professional footballer.

Yes he didn't get much game time with us but he never looked like he had much potential. I was completely fine with selling him at the time and it was the right decision, regardless of where he is at now.

There’s a lot of selective amnesia that goes on when people talk about Kieffer Moore. He was laughed at by many (I would suggest the majority) on here. Good on him for making a decent career for himself, but I think that it’s a bit hypocritical for fans to have a go at selling a player who was on the whole derided by the fans....unless of course you believe that the Club shouldn’t listen to the fans in the first place.

This is 100% correct but some on here are only happy if they think that they can find something to complain about in ITFC's past,present or future.

As I remember it he featured in many a person's worst town team ever selection that was doing the rounds on the forum at the time.

As I always say in thse discussions, he hardly played for us, 11 appearances from the bench and most of those games were late sub appearances in games we generally weren't doing that well in so there wasn't much to judge him on.

The one game when he really made an impression was the away match at Rotherham, which ultimately led to his loan there and then the progress he has made since. All power to him, I say, made the most of an opportunity he probably thought had passed him by after some poor career decisions earlier in his career.

This, he typically came on with 10 minutes or less to go, either to try and throw a different threat at the opposition because we were chasing or to give us a beanpole to hoof the ball up to while we tried to hang on. He was litterally working with scraps and had no real chance to show what he could do, but still seemed to be written off by many because he wasn't bagging hatfulls.

Didn't we score from a set piece immediately after he came on in a game at Portman Road, as a result of his presence? I seem to remember 2 or 3 players all sh!tting it and trying to track the giant racing onto the field, leaving gaps for others to exploit. My memory is a bit fuzzy and I can't recall the opposition though.

I think it’s more a reflection of how painfully ridiculous and largely forgettable football is becoming that he commands that value. Any player is a bargain at £10k these days but make no mistake, and do not let time cloud you’re judgement, he’s terrible and not, and never should be, fit for this club.


At the time selling him was the right decision but where we are as a club right now, he'd walk into this side.

You wouldn't be happy if we signed someone who had scored 30 goals in his last 53 games at our level?


Given the style of football played in order for him to get those goals, correct.

If we have to re-sign Kieffer Moore to get us out of this league with the players we have at our disposal then there is something disastrously wrong.

We are already at the disastrously wrong stage having failed to get promotion with the players at our disposal last season.

I saw him play for us a few times and he looked well off the level required. Good to see him progress since then but the mistake we made was selling him after he'd done well at Rotherham. Blame Evans or Mick for that one.

Was he not noted for a bad attitude by Mick?

I don't think it was so much of a bad attitude as such, just that Mick realised his head had been turned by the prospect of regular football (which he wasn't going to get here) and more money elsewhere.

Think that's a fair assessment, don't thnk he sulked, threw his toys or anything like that, was just a bit down in the mouth at prospect of a few minutes here and there from the bench having been the main man during his loan at Barnsley. Seemed a decent enough bloke when we spoke to him.

He made eleven appearances for us.

He was poor in most of those games. In the others he was terrible.


(But good luck to him. He's worked hard and turned himself into a decent player).

While agreeing about how poor he was when he played here - the 15 on-loan goals in a relatively short time said something different. Not revising anything personally, it seemed odd to me at the time after that success - especially assuming that someone somewhere saw something initially that none of us could see in first bringing him here, and yet we got rid as soon as whatever that someone had hoped for seemed to be bearing fruit.

So you didn't think he was good enough but we should blame Mick or ME for selling him for a decent fee even though he wasn't good enough?

When you look at some of the very below average players this club "carries"the whole episode regarding Moore was nothing more than a quick buck to be made. We are where we are because of one poor decision after another and that is indicated by relegation followed by another poor season in League One. We should of got rid of the poor players hanging on to this club and we didn,t.

I think you've got your head stuck in the sand mate. We're in the league below Wycombe Wanderers and we're playing Crewe this year.

I don't think we're in a position to be fussy about style of football!!
