From Watson’s article:
"I think Suffolk does suit me," he concurs. "Like you said, I'm pretty relaxed, pretty laid back, so I think it suits me like a hand in the glove. I think it's perfect for me."
He’s fairly non-committal about staying but says he’s learnt loads from McKenna and will continue to do so as time goes on. Come on Jens you know it makes sense. |  |

Can't see it happening. But would be brilliant if it did. Think that we under estimate the draw of working with McK for most players. Really hope that McK stays for one more year. |  | | |

He's had a pretty nomadic career so far, so would love it if he's finally found somewhere he feels at home.
Don't know how much he would cost us though, as the option to buy for £10m is only triggered if we stay up... |  |

The trouble is, if we can have him for £10m it makes sense for a Premier League club to sign him for squad depth. Dirt cheap in relative terms. Even if we wanted to do the deal and he wanted to come I think a mid table to Europa League team would see it as a no brainer for £15m-£20m* or so.
*Assuming they are under no obligation to sell to us for £10m and can raise the price based on his performance. |  |

Who’s going to be the enforcer alongside him? Morsy should still be good for 1 more year of championship, right? |  |

It wasn't an option to buy, but an obligation. This suggests that Napoli were keen to sell, but we were only willing to commit (at that time) if it worked out with him, and we stayed up.
So if Napoli are still keen to sell, and Cajuste was settled here (and willing to drop a level to continue the project), then to comes down to agreeing a price, and what competition there may be from other clubs (many won't risk the weak knee - the article reaffirms that this is not mended and being 'managed' by us).
I think it's still a long shot, but the stars may align, and I'd be delighted to build a midfield around him for the next couple of seasons. | | | |

I would think they’ll still be open to selling him if they were happy to add that clause in, it would’ve been us that made sure it was only triggered and contingent on us staying up. As you say though the issue now will be they’ll likely still sell him, but can now do so to the highest bidder. I dare say across Europe (and perhaps beyond) there will almost certainly be interest from elsewhere. |  | | |

I wouldn’t mind a good backup option for Morsy. I’ve no idea how he’ll handle next season, but he’s not going to be getter any faster/fitter from now on. |  |

If McKenna could convince Cajuste and Phillips to take massive pay cuts to play here next season we would have a very strong midfield base to be promoted with, unfortunately footballers only have a short window to make a lot of money in, and thus it would be an incredible ask to get players of that standard to remain here next season. |  |

I'd love to see us pick up Alex Scott on a season long loan from Bournemouth next season. Not played much for them this year and imagine they will strengthen again in the summer. | | | |

It fits him like a hand in a glove, but unfortunately gloves are pretty easy to take off, no matter how much he's currently putting the love into gloves. |  | | |
| Cajuste on 16:12 - Mar 29 with 3709 views | Joey_Joe_Joe_Junior |
That’s a bit a tease. I really don’t think it’s impossible but surely he will have interest of at very least the promoted clubs and also in Europe. |  | | |

Find the idea that he's mile and miles out of our league a bit strange.
He's not so good that it's outrageous to think we would buy him in the Championship.
Forest was his best game of the season in my opinion, and by quite some way. He's always looked classy but not necessarily effective. He's scored one goal or assist, and that was against Forest. |  |

Yep I also dont think he is particularly effective off the ball.
Very talented footballer dont get me wrong but seeing some people saying he would be their player of the season over Delap and I think that is bizarre.
Would obviously be very good in the championship though. [Post edited 29 Mar 18:43]

The direct assist stat is a joke really, the amount of times he’s set us away from CM after being on the ball has been impressive. | | | |

The way he turns on the ball and creates space and releases one of our runners shows he has some real class though. Especially considering he is doing it against PL midfielders.
Just from memory, by doing this he set up the Delap Pen v Chelsea, a load of the chances first half against Spurs, he put Davis away against Palace early which created a really good opportunity for Philogene. Was obviously our best player against Forest.
He’d be elite a level down I think. | | | |

I can see Town making a player to sign him even though we're more than likely in the Championship next season. I can see him happy to sign, too. |  |

The midfield is genuinely a concern next season. Morsy, Luongo, Taylor and Humphrey’s are the only players contracted for next season and Morsy & Luongo will be moving into twilight of their careers and Humphrey’s isn’t really tested at that level.. in fact Taylor wasn’t a regular in our promotion campaign.
I can see us spending money on that area and would expect us to show some interest in Ben Sheaf again. Not sure on his contractual situation and obviously if Coventry go up that poo poos that, but would be a natural successor to Luongo or Morsy in my opinion |  | | |

I wouldn't get too attached to any one player. A lot of players will move on and I'd rather we go for players who can play 46 games a season. Cajuste can't and he won't be cheap. What's the point in spending over the odds for a player with only 20-25 games in him? It's a pivotal position and we need a younger version of Morsy rather than Cajuste. He looks class in patches, but not sure he's that 90 minute x 46 games midfielder that can give us 7/10 every game. | | | |

Is Ben Sheaf the James Coppinger of the 2020s? | | | |

I’m sure he’d be saying the same thing about central London if he was playing Prem football on £30k+ a week. |  |

It's not impossible. We persuaded Morsy to drop down a level for a project, maybe we can do the same with Cajuste. You never know.
I wouldn't read too much into the Suffolk comments though. He was asked about the county, he's hardly going to say it's a dump because a) it isn't and b) even if he thought it was he's a professional footballer with media training.
He'll want to keep as many summer options open as possible, but we could well be one of them. |  | | |

I really like this shout about Alex Scott. Technically very talented and a very good ball carrier. Would be a very good addition. |  |

Not sure how it'd work salary-wise but if we did want to keep Cajuste we may have more chance than some people think. Not convinced he gets another Prem move, or at least one in which he's regularly starting. | |

Yeah I actually feel that the deal to get him from Napoli might be easier than people think, but equally our interest in getting him might be lower than people think.
Assume the reason we didn't just do the deal last summer was because of injury concerns (and maybe wages) and those concerns still feel valid. We would be offering one of our highest wages to compete with other clubs and spending a decent amount of our PSR leverage on a player who may not have huge long term resale value.
I think the club might be inclined to think that we would find a championship game changer, with big future potential, for the same sort of commitment. | | | |

Well Brentford were going to sign him before he had actually had proved himself as a viable Prem player. So if assume they'd be interested, unless the injury would still put them off. Itv wouldn't put me off looking at his performance and the price. | | | |
