Great addition to the squad and should be a reasonable price. Darren Ambrose says he was an Ipswich fan in his youth as well.

I thought I had read somewhere that he hated us (thought it was a Colchester thing). Also noticed that his goal celebrations against Norwich the other week were rather muted - not exactly what you'd expect from an Ipswich fan or even ex-fan. Maybe that's how he celebrates all goals though.

For clarification, pooh-poohed my story rather than the potential move.


After they had pooh-poohed your story did they wash their hands of the suggestion?

Is that right Phil, did the club pooh-pooh you?


Well damn it Blackadder what more evidence do you need? The pooh-poohing alone is a court martial offence!

But we need a MorsyMass type and Hirst-a-like more than an attacking midfielder. Thinking as I write though, if Chappers or Nathan get injured there’s a bit of a step down…. except hang on, Hutch can play there…. hmmm, we do actually have some depth there innit. Scoring goals ain’t a problem currently though, it’s the conceding. Maybe it’s just the way we play.


I think Scarlett may also make a great #10. We do have strength there. Its CM we have the issue with. We definitely need someone to fill in for Morsy/Luongo. Taylor is good but need more nastiness and bite.

Doesn’t he hate us with a passion from his time down the road? I got the feeling that he would never agree to play for us.

Would Szmodics want to join? Absolutely, yes ! We're no longer an unknown quantity at this level, can potentially offer a player Premiership football, the opportunity to play infront of 29K plus every week, train under the most talented coach outside of the Premiership...we will have no problem attracting players in January.

He'll cost around 5-6m i think.

Money. McKenna. Move back home with his family who are from Colchester too. Possible promotion.

Good player…. but I’m sure he’s gone on record as saying he hates us and would never play for us, so I doubt it.

Seem to remember a quote to that effect from earlier in his career. (Colchester/ Peterborough days)

Yeah he does, although that's easily paid off with the right contract. I like to think we'd be looking at players ready for the Prem next season.

He is a local lad isn’t he (Colchester). Would guess (NOT for sale) in the summer and huge fee too

Weren't we linked heavily with him when he started to impress at Col U?

He's a West Hame fan, as was very clear on Twitter when Blackburn drew West Ham in one of the cups recently. His father is a well-known Colchester Utd fan, and Sammy joined the U's academy at 7 or 8.

He must be close to being a regular in the Irish team soon.

I saw him in a FA Youth Cup game against my lad's side about 9 or 10 years ago and I'm sure I came here and said that Town should snap him up.

Talk yesterday that Poku, (Colchester to P'boro without bothering with Bristol C.) is on his way (back) to the Championship. Town among a whole host of clubs linked. Very much McGreal's player, and I should imagine he's been watched a lot while Town were keeping tabs on Taylor.

It's well documented he hates us, I get what people are saying money trumps morals, but do e really think the club would want someone who has openly commented his disdain for us in the past?

Hardly the template or type of character the club looks for when for Running towards adversity.

Well, quite, in literal terms!

But I'm just not sure Ashton would take the positive view from it.

But as we know football is a ruthless business and maybe he would take the view that he would be earning fortunes from the enemy.

I'm not sure about 'well documented'. I've never heard the man himself say anything on the subject, and online there's only stuff about his being a West Ham season ticket holder. Some of his schoolmates who were/are U's fans maybe were gobby on the subject of 'he'd never go THERE ', but that was almost certainly wishful thinking on their part, - quickly pounced on by people here who relish nothing more than to spotlight the chip on CUFC's shoulder.

There have been countless players who have said they dislike clubs and then end up playing for them.

If you pay them enough and the fit is right. That sort of thing is irrelevant. Issue is the money, think Blackburn might ask for a crazy fee.

Yes there has, but it's like people haven't listened to one interview from Ashton or McKenna in the past two years about player profiles and what the look for, not just football ability, the whole package.

I'd be very surprised he if fitted the profile they are looking for from an age/value for money/personality aspect.

I've heard this too, can play on both sides but mostly plays on the right, but he's left footed, not sure posh would sell if they're top 6 pushing for promotion and they will be, so we'll be quoted a silly fee knowing them..

Ordinarily I'd agree, but I think with Szmodics it's so out there that you're taking some additional risks here.

If he potentially brings any of that vibe to training or the dressing room, that's an issue. Even if he doesn't, off the pitch you're really dependent on him excelling right from the start and never really dipping in form. Because the second he does dip, it'll be because he doesn't care, hates the club etc. Easy for that to spiral into mutual loathing between supporters and player.

Just don't see that you'd risk it.
