All in 1 window. End of an era innit.
Presumably Muric too, although that one is more end of an error.
Lot of change, lot of pressure on the recruitment this summer. |  | | |  |

Yep, said all along I think this will be a bigger rebuild then most people think.
A lot to do given we start the season in 3 weeks. Fingers crossed we get some deals over the line soon. |  |

It's a lot. We have a mountain to climb and I think we can scale it but there is tonnes to do in very short order before I can put us among the automatic promotion contenders. People need to be ready for some difficulties ahead. [Post edited 16 Jul 13:14]

Burnley have shown it can be done and you can still achieve your goal.
2 CMs and Striker before Brum needed. |  |

Think I said back in May we would be looking at 10 new names in by the end of the window.
Initially I thought that might be high, but looks like we'll need that just to stay steady in terms of squad depth. |  | | |

We still have an incredible squad with funds to add when you write it down on paper. We have work to do in midfield and forwards for sure.
You seem to be in a very negative mood at the moment, SB. | | | |

I make it potentially another 8 that could leave;
Muric - obvious reasons
Slicker - clearly needs a loan
Taylor - has he done enough the last 2 years?
Al-Hamadi - probably time to move on.
Johnson - has been linked with a move elsewhere
Walton - will he want another year as a number 2?
Humphreys - can't see him getting enough game time this season
Broadhead - was almost out the door last summer.
Add in Morsy and Hutchinson and your at 10. Of course they won't all go, but plenty of gaps to fill in my opinion, and you're right, we look well short given the season is 3 weeks away. [Post edited 16 Jul 13:20]

Losing a bit more than " one or two" aren't we. |
Only 1 more really though because the others were out of contract. pretty much in line with Ashton's comment about losing 1or 2 with high premium value (can;t remember when he said it but I'm sure it was to that effect). It was therefore always on the cards (inevitable) that we'd lose more than Delap.
But I'm not sure we could expect anything else when he'd said that the future was going to be all about player trading. This is what that looks like so we'd better get used to it.
As others have highlighted, it's actually been the Ipswich way since Burleys time - he build the promo team by player trading over a few years.
I've no problem with it - but it does put such a lot of pressure on KM, MA and others to get the recruitment right doesn't it! |  |

Did anyone ever say it would just be one or two?!
No one ever thought that, we knew Delap, Omari and Tuanzebe were off from the outset. |  |

Davis possibility too.
There will be loads of business in the last week of the window which means the first few games will be interesting. | | | |

Worth thinking back to the starting XI and squad from three years ago - the start of the L1 promotion season.
GK: Walton / Hladky / Coleman
RB: Donacien /KVY
RCB: Woolfenden / Keogh
LCB: Edmundson / Burgess
LB: Davis / Leigh
RCM: Morsy / Ball
LCM: Evans / Camera / Humphreys
RW: Burns / Aluko
CAM: Chaplin / TJJ
LW: Harness / Edwards
ST: Ladapo / Jackson / Adhame
We've arguably rebuilt this squad once already - this season feels like a continuation of the work done last summer, rather than the start of a new era. Of those names above, only 7 remain, and likely down to 6 or 5 by the end of the summer if Morsy and Humphries leave. On average since the start of 22/23 we have signed 9/10 players in the summer and 4 in January. If we end up with 7 or 8 new faces in the squad, that is pretty much on par with normal. | | | |

Difference is this time is the players leaving were key components, some that have left previously like Ball, Leigh, Evans, Camera, Edwards etc never established themselves in that bracket.
Its inevitable, but certainly feels like a lot of change this summer. 4 of those were regulars last season in the premier league, and Burgess & Luongo were the promotion years prior. Its not changing of the fringe, but significant changing of the core. That's the difference really, but as I say its inevitable when we've seen the first backwards step after a few seasons of forward progression. | | | |

I need to see that whoever we bring in really moves the dial, that's for sure. There are 10-12 teams in the Championship who can drop £8m on a nice player or two. We have lost a lot of what got us up the first time, both tangibles and crucial intangibles, and while evolution is natural it will take a humungous effort from McKenna to create something similarly formidable. I'm not saying he can't do it and reserve the right to be in full p7ss the league mode a month from now but I think we are in a for a bigger scrap than most people are quite ready for.

I have seen your comments about this before on here and I totally agree. This is going to be a very hard job for MK. He will have a lot of new faces who need to learn his way of playing. It’s going to be a very tough season I think. I really am not sure we will be as big a force as people think this season. I think the second season could be the one. |  | | |

We have 2 (3 if you count Button) already.
So 7 more to go, depending on who leaves. | | | |

Given we’re already over the squad limit, there’s 0 chance we sign 10.
10 may go, but they don’t all need replacing, e.g. 5 senior GKs. |  |

Don't forget Cajuste and Phillips.
Well, if you factor in there were 418 starting places in the league last season (11 x 38) then we have lost 140 of those through the above *excluding Hutchinson* as he is still here and not in talks like Morsy.
Only Delap (32) and Morsy (31) were nailed on (30+) PL starters; then you had Cajuste (25) Tuanzebe (20), Burges (16) and Phillips (14) plus Luongo with just the 2.
There is a lot to do but looking at the squad today:
GK: Muric, Walton, Palmer, Slicker and Button - assuming Slicker and prob Muric to leave either perm or loan.
CB: Greaves, O'Shea, Kipre and Woolfenden with Baggott as backup
LB: Davis and Townesend
RB: Johnson and Clarke
CM: Matusiwa, Taylor, Humphreys (Need to add here)
AM / Wide Men: Hutchinson, Szmodics, Philogene, Clarke, Broadhead, Ogbene, Burns, Chaplin
Striker: Hirst and Al-Hamadi
Priorty remains strengthening the CM and Striker, and then review attacking options especially if we lose Hutch.
It's a pretty formidable Championship squad as it stands though - priority is strengthening for the Championship at the moment, ideally with players to then step up to Prem, but we should not get ahead of ourselves. |  | | |

There is a lot of negativity on here.
Yes
I would welcome a few additions and clearly we are over saturated with goalkeepers
.
But personally I believe we have forwards here now that are quite capable of tearing most Champs defences a new one. |  | | |

Cant see Johnson leaving. Muric yes but slicker will stay and carry on his training here. Suspect Broadie to stay also | | | |

It was inevitable
When we reached the PL we knew some were coming towards the end of their careers/jury out if they could perform at PL. Then relegation followed so some better players will want to move back to the PL. Plus relegated clubs always lose some players/forced to sell and we're no different to the likes of Leeds, Burnley, Leicester, Southampton in recent seasons.
It was inevitable we would lose players
Sad as it is, we need to refresh if we want to gain promotion and stay in the PL.
But sell players for good money and reinvest. None of our players are Messi, Ronaldo or Thijssen, they can be replaced with players of the same calibre or better. |  | | |

Seems a mess to me,
In the championship you don't have much time before your playing catch up,
To many changes with a squad that would have been top 4 easily,
Il wait for the mud October patience it takes time to gel, |  | | |
