And we're the Ipswich Town newco with less than six months' history. |  |

Footballer Insider standard template innit. "[Spin wheel] is set to join [spin wheel] in shock [spin wheel] year deal". Mind you, these new owners do like a former big name signing. Could he be our Drogba signing? I can't see it myself as the workload in L1 is a lot higher than in the US. |  |

Town after Jermain Defoe.... on 12:44 - May 26 by chrismakin | Genuine question what did ward struggle with? Defending no, attacking no but combining the two yes. Fullback requirements don't really suit a mid 30 year old. |
I actually think Ward struggled with pace and strength. His positioning helped him, but when people ran at him he didn't have the pace to cope. Also I remember numerous shoulder to shoulder moments where he just didn't have the strength of big guys 10 years younger than him. |  |

Or am I getting mixed up? Can’t keep up with all these ‘footy insider’ accounts 😂 |  |

Clearly there were elements otherwise he would be staying. My point being overall at this level he had a rather solid season in a defence which was top 5 despite his age. Defoe, or anyone of an age, all depends on how they are physically as i mentioned in my other post, no one would turn down ibrahimovic, and he's 40! and still banged in a shed load of goals this season. |  |

Do you honestly think Lge 1 is better than the SPL?! Even the stronger sides in Lge 1 looked awful last season, such a poor standard. I watched Dundee (Championship) v Kilmarnock (Prem) the other night, some really good quality in that game as there is most all Scot Prem games I have seen recently. Defoe may be old, but he is still a great finisher and is far above our level. |  |

Chill out bro. I do think the SPL is pants. I don't think Defoe is above L1. Happy to agree to differ. |  |

just to clarify Conference players - what a joke, we now have money, we've let dozzell go league 2 players - no experienced enough, hurst did it and burnt us league 1 players - we should be aiming higher, why are letting dozzell, bishop go cham players - waste of wages on journeymen, must be something wrong if he chooses us, hasn't acheived much in his career, luton! experienced goal scorers late in careers - To old Young goalscorers - 1 season wonder, we've had this before What sort of players should we be getting? |  |

Don't think I've made any of those other comments and I am certainly not getting worried about anything. I just don't think signing 39 year old players is the way forward for us right now. |  |

Wasn't aimed at solely you Coco, it's regarding various responses to links. It's actually difficult to know what sort of players the club should be aiming for when so many links get negative responses lol. The way forward for us to get out of this league by signing players to do so, if that's a 39 year old who could get 20+ goals, go for it. If Norwood is still going to be our number 1 striker, it will be difficult to attract a Piggot type as you won't get away with 2 no 1 strikers with 1 role available. [Post edited 26 May 2021 13:07]
