The inference the finger is not in is what gets me. How do you know LW and MA are not doing all they can to make signings. Maybe they are very close, maybe someone is done but we are letting the whole Morsy thing calm. YOU just don't know.
If we had wanted players like Schlupp I am sure we could have got him. We could have re-signed Mass, but we are aiming higher, listen to what MA has said about the type of player we want and if takes time.
You are still very much in bed wetting territory I am afraid. |
Don't be scared. |  | | |

Had his pants pulled down? How is that exactly?
OK, so maybe the OP has overreacted to the current situation, but as a supporter he is entitled to his opinion and maybe, just maybe he is right to be a little concerned. As most posters on here have previously said we are still light in midfield and up front. Doesn't make him a bedwetter or Norwich scum IMO that he posts those thoughts.
And what's with calling people champ all the time? A little bit weird if you ask me, a bit like adding your initials to the end of posts.
Maybe you should reconsider who are the drippy little sad sacks really are? Maybe it's the ones who are always trying to gang up and bully other posters? Especially new posters on the site. |
There are some idiots on this site that only seek to take the píss out of other posters rather than contribute anything themselves, as you have said particularly new posters, or ones that it’s cool to dislike like Frimmers previously and that Simon fella they’re after at the moment. Hopefully one day they will realise how ridiculous it is that they try to be part of the cool club on an Ipswich Town forum and actually just post about football | | | |

I don’t know why there are so many pages written on this pants at this time of year. MA, I quote, the signings will land when they land. Each year we have to explain the same thing. Clubs sell their players when they want to sell them. [Post edited 26 Jul 22:35]

What a strange reply, shall I just never comment again on something I can’t control? |
Probably not along these lines anyway. What use it is. Fear monger enmasse 🤷🏻♂️ | |

To be honest I was being a bit provocative, hence why I’ve not been upset by tens of people implying I píss the bed. I do think we’re getting to a point where we will be underprepared to take on Brum and Soton, given how long it takes people to fit into McKenna’s system in the positions we need - as we have seen with Massimo, Hirst and Kieff who have been signed and not thrown into the deep end straight away | | | |

Ahhh, what you've done is jumped in excitedly without actually understanding the post you're frothing about.
I do think the OP was a silly, overreaction and provocative post (as they have said themselves).
However, my entire post that you've latched onto was about them using their initials to respond to Stokie, in a sad little dig at him, as have many before. So maybe tuck that raging little bone away and stand down, champ? [Post edited 26 Jul 22:55]

You could have avoided the detective work and realised I had been on the site before from my posts that were posted on my profile before that response, which was clearly in jest

By the way in the post he replied to you said that Stokie had pulled my pants down, which was the specific comment he had replied to | | | |

Completely agree, and it's out of order. I'm sure that they are very knowledgeable about all things ITFC related, but doesn't mean that other posters don't know anything and aren't entitled to have their own thoughts about things which may be different.
I'm glad you mentioned Frimmers. Personally I really like him and always enjoy reading his posts. He is also always wanting to discuss opinions, which is what a football forum should be about and I like that he is interested to know what other people think rather than assuming he is right about everything.
That's not to say I don't disagree with a lot of what he says. He is guilty of posting some ridiculous and silly posts in the past, which I am sure I have too. Things are said in the heat of the moment which we don't always really mean.
I know it's not cool to like Frimmers and I'm probably in the minority, but I don't care, but I'm also sure there others that really like him too. I don't know much about this Simon fella as haven't posted much lately.
I really like and rate Muric despite everything and hope he gets another opportunity this season (though I don't expect it to happen). Most people will disagree with me and say he should never wear the shirt again. Frimmers said a lot about Burns not being good enough before, I disagreed with him because I rated Burns, but I still think he was entitled to his opinion and I respected it (though he did go OTT about it). | | | |

Maybe stop with calling people champ?
You and SB post very sarcastic and patronising with your posts, which is annoying and unnecessary.
If you stopped with your own sad little digs at people, then others would do the same. That's the only reason why people take the piss out of Stokie for signing off as SB, because he often dishes it out first. | | | |

Evening quad.
Appreciate you've mentioned me in a good light but could I ask not to be included in this thread. I don't want anything to be misinterpreted and people feel I'm involved in it. Thank you though. |  |

Not sure this is anything about Frimmers, who I've disagreed with plenty but usually was fine, certainly since his return. Don't think he needs to be dragged in.
This was just an observation that time after time posters throw out a pissy little dig at Stokie by mimicking the initials, as ChantryBlueBoy (sorry CBB did) that you jumped on over-eagerly and now are flailing wildly.
Edit - sorry Frimley, saw your post above. Agreed. [Post edited 26 Jul 23:26]

Worth noting that when we got promoted from League 1 to Champ, we had only signed Taylor, Hirst and a very raw Hutchinson when we played our first game at Sunderland. Williams only joined in late August and Tuanzebe was yet to join and injured anyway.
We did ok.
I'd be worried if we didn't have decent enough players for the games in August.
But we do.
We have a stronger squad now. |
I take the same view on this.
7 of the starting 11 against Aberdeen were purchased AFTER the Championship promotion season, so therefore intended to play at a higher level.
The quality is pretty much there, it’s only a couple of numbers we need in key areas, but to get that same quality we need to be patient.
Seems like some would be placated if we just buy any old random from the lower divisions just for the sake of doing so. | | | |

In an ideal world we buy/loan a striker and 2 DM's. Any 2 can be loans but they all must be a real improvement on who we have now and have KM attributes.
Getting these players however requires a lot of hard negotiating and critical timing.If we manage to get any before the brum match it will be a near miracle. It's just unfortunate for us that we play a couple of our main rivals first up, and before the transfer window closes.
I can see why people are concerned but it's pointless to worry unless you can do anything about it. I am sure everyone involved in signing new players are working there butt off to get these players in asap. | | | |

That’s true and I agree with the general point, there is still time and remain confident the signings we need will come
BUT, it’s worth pointing out that in 2023/24 we hadn’t at this point lost our captain, our top scorer, our first choice RB, and a further 3 CM’s depart from last seasons squad. None of that list includes the likes of Burgess or Enciso who played regularly last year either
So not really a like for like comparison |  |

When we came up from L1, we had a squad with a winning mentality, who were largely bought to play in the Championship, knew the system that manager favoured & we had no real expectation of immediate promotion. So while Tuanzebe & Williams were both PL quality signings, they both came with significant risks due to injury & .... other factors.
This time however, we are a parachute payments side, with an exceptional Championship squad already, are favourites to win the league & are expected by most (wether we wish to say it out loud or not) to go straight back up to the PL.
For those reasons, we can't just look to sign good Championship level players, we have to bring in guys that we feel will be capable of being competitive PL players next season. We will already be charged a premium by virtue of us having the parachute money, even if the player is average, but in the markets we're looking, it is hard to see us sign a CM or striker, be it Hackney & Ivanovic (hopefully) or others in their ballpark, for lesd than £10m at least, up front, plus add ons for promotion & appearances.
Centre Midfield will be particularly tricky, as we have to convince 2 quality players to join, while each knows that they are not necessariliy going to be a regular starter.
I do think we need to get at least one of the midfielders in early this week though, so he will get some minutes in the Auxerre game under his belt & be somewhat prepared for the game in Birmingham. | | | |

And people seem to have forgotten that the biggest coup Ashton has had this summer is keeping McKenna, so this "pull your finger out" stuff is a bit grating. He's also had the Fabio match and the three Sheeran shows so as a CEO he's hardly been sitting there scraping fluff out of his bellybutton. |
Exactly, and our football team is surely better than all the other music venues in town, so I don't know why new signings are such a priority. |  | | |
