 Knight on Town Radar as Blues End Taylor Pursuit 21st Jun 2023 10:25TWTD understands Derby County midfielder Jason Knight is one of a number of central midfielders on Town’s radar, the Blues having ended their lengthy pursuit of Peterborough United’s Jack Taylor.  20
Love a good "TWTD understands" to start the day. |
Yes please, if it's 2 - 2.5mil needed it'd be a steal. |  |

He's got an unbelievable engine on him and is obviously at a good age where he can keep improving. With a talented but perhaps less mobile offering of Morsy, Evans, Luongo, Ball I can't help but feel the youthful exuberance and Duracell like batteries of someone like Knight would be a perfect addition.
Competition from Bristol City apparently though, so it won't be an easy sell. 21 year old Dubliner perhaps more likely to favour Bristol to Suffolk, but lets see. Hopefully the project is attractive to him. | | | |

Would be a shrewd signing and a good fit on and off the pitch. Dare I say it, Matt Holland-esque. Even at a young age, has stood out for club and country as being an old head on young shoulders. The kind of character, at the right age, who would match Ashton and McKenna's criteria. | | | |

Derby are after El Mizouni, IIRC? So we could see a swap deal + a bit of cash. That might be in our favour. |
Bit of player trading, lovely stuff |  |

Shame we couldn't get Jack Taylor in. I guess Posh's valuation doesn't match ours. |  |

I’d much rather this than spending the vastly inflated fee being quoted for an average player in Taylor. | | | |

Judging a player in a game against Gibraltar.
Seems the right age, solid dependable with a good disciplinary. KMc would need to see potential to improve especially going forward if he is seen as a midfielder. |
Because I said the lad has a lot of energy about him? That's a trait that stood out, I never mentioned ability |  |

Perhaps Boils Down to the " we only want players here that "want" to be here", mantra?
Taylor knows KM has been after him. If he wanted to, I'm sure he could more or less force a move here.. I like Taylor as a player but if it means we haven't got to deal with McAnthony, who is just going to play hardball all summer, and if Taylor is getting his head turned left right and centre, then we could do without it, imo. We need to get on the front foot as quickly as we can. Besides, the Derby lad is a very solid alternative.. |  | | |

a) Bristol looks NOTHING like Dublin.
b) There are no boats to Ireland from there.
c) its only half an hour extra to Ipswich from Stansted against Bristol to Bristol Airport.
Not sure on the what the big draw for Dubliners to Bristol would be. |  |

Makes me laugh when people post stuff like this re Taylor. McKenna has wanted him since the day he walked into the football club. I'd like to think people trust his judgement by now.
The fee we've offered for Taylor (and what he will end up going for) is well below the sort of numbers 'quoted' by the way. [Post edited 21 Jun 2023 11:54]

Should endear MA to them even more if we Guzzump them.
No further interest in Jack Taylor then or dealing with Posh |

I'd have thought Ball would be ok. Evans' main problem is injuries, not capability. Plus there's Camara and Humphreys, maybe even El Mizouni on top.
Unless we're planning to get rid of most of those (sell or loan out), then we're fairly well stocked at CM.
Not convinced we're going to be spending significant money on an area where we already have players of a similar age and level. |
Clearly you haven’t seen Evans try to run recently. |  |

I wasn't talking about proximity to Dublin or ease of access. More that Bristol's a brilliant and vibrant city, often regarded as one of the best places to live in the UK, and likely somewhere where a 21 year old with lots of money would enjoy living. Similar to Dublin. Not sure the same can be said of Ipswich if we're honest.
It's not a new thing that location plays a part in the decision making of professional footballers. It's been well speculated for a while that it's a factor when it comes to attracting younger players to the area. Hopefully we can sell a different vision to him. [Post edited 21 Jun 2023 12:49]

I'm not sure we'd be in for a player who makes decisions about his career on the basis of where would be the best night out. | |

It makes you wonder how Luton, Blackburn, Burnley or Grimsby manage to attract any players at all!
Professional players will go where the most money is, the best chance of progression is or the best chance at trophies. It might be the ambition of the club, size of the crowds or their role in the side that's the big draw.
I'd imagine vibrant life / nightlife is a bonus to some, but Chaplin has spoken a lot about the countryside and nice places to walk the dogs. We are actively recruiting amazing characters that want to give to the community. It's a requirement. Anyone concerned by the lack of vibrancy in Ipswich isn't going to get far into the negotiations with Ashton.
We've got no idea what Jason Knight wants out of his free time have we. I can't imagine that will remotely factor into his thinking in even the top five things he will worry about. [Post edited 21 Jun 2023 12:57]

Who said it was about a night out? Its a widely held view that it has in the past been prohibitive to certain clubs signing younger players, especially in the face of competition from other clubs in perhaps more attractive areas. I'm surprised this factor is new news to people. | | | |

Context again though.
The current state of the club is completely different to what was being sold to younger players in the past so citing that as a comparison isn't entirely accurate. Everything about the club is moving forward and we are likely to do just as well as Bristol next year.
If he was to make a decision based on what was likely better for his career over the longer-term I would think Ipswich would stack up better than a lot of clubs in the Championship, including Bristol City.

Oh it is, hence I said I hope we can sell him a vision and the project. I think we're quite a compelling proposition at the moment, although I think Bristol City probably are too and can evidence a track record of selling players on to the Premier League. He's an ambitious young man, that'll be his aim.
I'm not suggesting it's the only factor, of course it isn't. But it's likely one of many.
I think it was Claus Jensen that we lost out on to Charlton when we both met Bolton's valuation. He had been around the ground, met with Burley etc. It was speculated that his partner had a big say in them moving to London. It happens, of course it does. | | | |

Fair to say those play off games didn’t help in our pursuit of Jensen and Gudjohnsen. Neither Gartside nor Allarydce wanted them to come here. | | | |

Those clubs do struggle for that reason. There was an interesting piece in the Athletic about it, talking to some agents etc.

I'm not saying we won't lure him, I'm just saying it's probably 1 factor where we don't rank above them but as you say, it'll depend what he wants and sees as a priority. | | | |

Don't think the player is the issue, getting a deal with Posh is the sticking point and Town have decided to move on. |  | | |
