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 wouldn't worry too much about it.
Ignore the idiots looking for a reaction by hinting that Davis is off. It's a long hard season. He will be a useful addition. |  |

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. [Post edited 22 Aug 2023 19:00]

Considering how important he sees FBs, having 3 quality ones is key |  |

Having another option on the right that is happy going forward is key as well. Donacien does a job defensively but doesn't cut it going forward so we need another option.
Not a chance we'd sell Davis now when next summer he could be worth 5m+ more |  |

Has McKenna given you any reason to doubt his judgement? The answer should be no. And he arguably knows Williams and his strengths/flaws as well as anyone. | | | |

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 | | | |

I’m not wholly convinced by it but can see the logic.
Think there a question over his attitude but he’s a young man. |  | | |

You’d think if anyone can help sort that, it would be the man that gave him a chance as a young lad | |

I'd imagine McKenna knows him pretty well and wouldn't want him here if he felt his attitude wasn't right. |  |

yeah it's a logical signing in alot of ways and if McKenna can get him right he will be a decent signing. | | | |

yeah it's a risky signing with a potential high reward. | | | |

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. | | | |

Williams doesn't go forward any more than Donacien. He is a left sided Donacian. If you watch him play he is very defensive. Not a KM type player at all. Strange one this. [Post edited 22 Aug 2023 20:26]

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

Evening Chorizo. Is this one of your 3 massive signings?  | | | |

Do you *not* think Ipswich signing a player from Manchester United would be a massive signing? | |

I'm concerned Davis is about to be sold, however Clarke historically has preferred the Burns role so maybe this gives KM the chance to move Clarke forward occasionally and/or use Clarke as a CH as required. |  | | |

Probably just because you don’t know him very well. kM knows him as well as anyone and ito be honest, if he wants him here that’s good enough for me. He’s earned the right to be trusted I think. |  |

The amount of games Doncien has played suggests that he's very much a 'KM' type player.
Plus. haven't you spent the last few weeks shooting your yellow beak off about how wobbly the defence is? I thought you'd be pleased we're adding some solidity. |  |

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. | | | |

I was viewing more as a sub/rest replacement for Burns rather than a permanent replacement | | | |
