Something doesn’t feel right 18:55 - Aug 22 with 8289 viewsbluesbrothers

I should be elated with this signing but for some reason I’m really not

Davis and Clark don’t need upgrading. But he’s not joining to sit on the bench. All I can think (hope) is he’s going to be reinvented to play the burns role.

Wish I felt more positive about it, but just don’t for some reason

I think you have to look at a player’s ceiling here.

Leigh has done excellently for us but in all honesty is unlikely to be Premier League quality.

It’s the same with Donacien who did well in League One but looks a little exposed in the Championship.

But Williams has played in the Prem and could potentially do so again.

My heart says I’d like to keep Leigh but my head says trust McKenna. This is an upgrade and you can’t blame Leigh for wanting regular football elsewhere.

Yeh true

If the whole squad can get on board with every game being a squad game and not obsessing over the starting 11 then I suppose it’s a great move


Our extremely tightly knit squad with incredible team spirit have been on board with it for the past 18 months mate.

It’s a top signing if we complete it. He’s basically a premier league player at a good age who has worked with KM before.


Yep, probably wouldn't be possible without the McKenna connection. He'll be dropping down to play for us.

This would be an excellent signing particularly with view to perm. He's only 22 and has only ever played top level. He's very quick and very combative. He could be superb on the right. With Leif on the left. That's some pace either side.

They guy is very comfortable on the ball and helps us get out from the back.

Is it just me who thinks that McKenna might have visions of having him as
A) a utility player
B) a potential starter instead of Burgess

A signing who never played is being replaced by a signing who’ll never play - locking out anyone st the club from progressing. It’ll probably be a self-harming, pointless loan as well.

What’s not to like - this is franchise football?

At 5'7 can't see him taking over Burgess role.

Looks more to me like Clarke will shuffle up taking Burns out and Williams slotting in behind.

Clarke spent most of his youth football as a striker so he knows how to play further up the pitch.

Clarke is not going to play 40+ games this season with his Achilles injury. Davis gets kicked every game and each time he goes down I fear the worst.

Having three quality players for those two positions is very wise of McKenna.

Four. Janoi has played well when he’s come in as well.

He’s not anywhere near the quality of Clarke, Davis or Williams (if he signs) though. McKenna must feel similar otherwise why is he trying to get Williams in?

Why do so many people seem concerned with trying to replace Burns? Especially with players who have never played that position. He'll be a really key player for us this season. He's crucial to our system and is really effective.


Quite obviously our weakest link in that starting 11 for me at the moment

JD was getting a lesson on Saturday, was clear to see the weak link in the team, all that said, I still love JD.
But I do think the time is now right to upgrade

Maybe McKenna knows a McKenna player and what McKenna wants better than you, Naylorsrightboot, do.


I think it goes without saying that the Ipswich manager knowns what players the Ipswich manager likes rather than a poorly disguised budgie on a message board does.

You no longer make any sense at all.

Indeed. I've said ever since we signed Clarke that you can see the drop off in quality between him and JD, and certainly with how we play he hinders the build up etc.

He's been a dependable player in the squad though, but as you say, with our aspirations, it's time to upgrade.

the rapid development of tactic for playing out from the back sees full backs totally evolve. We need the legs.
