But if we have Hirst or a PL-level backup on the pitch for the last 20mins, we win that. |  |

Or maybe it’s an indication of the difficulty in acquiring forwards at the right calibre, who are available at a price, that want to come here. Everyone is chasing a Delap.
If you are Man City, United, Arsenal, Liverpool you can click your fingers, offer £60m and £300k per week and the world is your lobster. You don’t even have to obey the rules. Bit different for us further down the food chain. We don’t even have the spending power of Leicester and Saints under FFP.
As for 22/23 and 23/24, I seem to remember that while those seasons could have been better (first not second), they finished ok. I’m not quite sure what more you expect Gamechanger to do - by them I presume you mean the Ipswich Board and CEO, Recruitment Team and KM. |
Yes, it's not really a 'Gamechanger' issue, more a football issue with the difficulty for all clubs to bring in strikers. It says much that Kieran thought our best option was an already injured Broja. |  |

Erm. They finished ok because we got reinforcements in January.
Just like this season could finish OK once we get reinforcements.
Just praying delap doesn't get Injured between now and when ever we get another striker as we could be well and truly fked and not getting that striker in the summer will I'm afraid be a massive contributor.
But.. let's stick to what's happening at the moment which is things are flowing nicely. Just lots of praying weekly for delap lol.
And remember we didn't need another delap. Just someone fitter than Al Hamadi. Now that there were plenty of. |
My post was in response to the interesting one from POB about Gamechanger’s track record on strikers.
Yes, people were recruited in Jan. You never know the same thing might happen this time.
Underlying my point was the difficulty in acquiring strikers that fit what you need and can afford. I guess it’s easy on FM24 or whatever it’s called, but clearly not the real world.
We are looking for players who are either going to challenge Delap and Hirst (FFP/cost?) or be happy as back up or have potential. That is why I’d have liked Moore on the books, had he been happy with that or the type of players I’ve mentioned elsewhere - young with potential.
Has to be a better option than a marquee signing that so many love like say a Rashford who another poster suggested. After 81 seconds he stank the place out. [Post edited 26 Nov 2024 8:56]
