Go and sign Hayden Hackney, Ben Doak and Mihailo Ivanović 08:30 - Aug 15 with 6753 viewsitfcjoe

3 tough deals to do, but get them done and we blitz the league.

Other options out there - maybe Tom Fellows instead of Ben Doak as that deal will be the hardest of the 3 to get done

If its true that Millwall want 15 for Ivanovic, that should be an easy bid.

He may be better than Hirst tbh.


Don't you think if he was "on the list" this would've been concluded before now ?

I'd take him in a heartbeart but I'm not sure he's on our radar

Hope to be proven wrong

Hackney has already told us to do one effectively. If Boro forced him out of the door, because they need the money, do we really want a player who doesn’t want to come here? It might be OK but it could also go horribly wrong.

Think some ITKs on here have said he is someone we have been interested in for a while IIRC.

You may be right but I guess the Transfer window is always moving and we may have been after other 9s and he is just one of many.

It's interesting Joe still bangs on about him and also HH to be fair

Not suggesting he's anywhere closer to knowing than anyone else BUT , he'd have some better "inside" stuff than I so .....

Boro forced Morsy out of the door to come here. That went ok.

We need another new 9 to compete with Hirst and do a solid 30 every game. Enough of this AAH can do a job stuff; he can’t.


Looks like AAH is on his way, and Azon expected to sign. With Akpom as an option, that will take care of the number 9 rotation.

"Go and sign Hayden Hackney" seems to be somewhat similar to "just persuade Hutchinson to stay".

We could ... perhaps ... but it is very out of our control.

I’d imagine he’s one who would be willing to wait for Premier League interest as well as it’s been rumoured. Last two weeks now and players who are 3rd & 4th on bigger clubs lists realise that the role they hoped too get with them has now been filled by their targets higher up. Lots of bigger deals for all clubs will get done in these two weeks, it’s almost a mini transfer window in itself.

We have a big chunk of money now as well and I think after seeing the squad for the first 2 games we will wanting to be bringing in some real quality who are ready to go straight away.

Hopefully Mr Azon is fit enough to be included on Sunday if that deal is done in time. Even if its just 20 mins off the bench.

Yes, anything in the £12m-£15m region actually feels like fair value for Ivanovic if Broadhead's worth £10m with 12 months left on his contract.

But we have already agreed a deal with Boro re Hackney, but he told us to f**k off as we don't match his ambitions.


Did he say that? He turned down the move when there was nearly a month left of the transfer window with his agent probably telling him that there is still premier league interest. I think if we make the same bid on deadline day and there are no premier league offers he will make the move.

I don't think it will.

Reckon we would be looking for another who is a similar profile to Hirst.

Not sure how much we could in theory spend under the financial rules - lots I assume - but leaving those rules aside for a moment it feels like there's a risk the club's owners don't want to spent this window and instead want the club's finances to be as attractive as possible for new investors. Hopefully that's not the case but it's been an odd window so far. Next couple of weeks will be interesting.


If there are new Investors taking over, then theya re already in the group - it will be Brightpath

I think Azon replaces AAH, not Delap. We are still to sign our 2nd choice 9 (Akpom = Broadie replacement)


I doubt Azon is coming to England to be the third choice striker for a second tier team.

How do you know what HH told us, do you have it on good authority or that is your interpretation of previous rejection? Do you know it was a no to US or was it no I want to go to PL as his agent his told him an offer will come.

If the former, as you suggest, then of course we will have moved on but some fans haven't as we don't know the nature of the rejection

Is there any chance of Hackney still joining? No idea, but why do some feel it necessary to use emotive rhetoric about him having 'told us to do one', 'fvck off', 'prefer Boro', etc.

Even AI can deduce that he's hoping for a PL move, so keeping his options open. Chances are he'll be with another club Sept 1st, and if it's not in the PL it still could be here (if we haven't already found someone else - in which case his agent will have really screwed him over).

For all we know he loved it down here and said he’ll join if he doesn’t get the PL move.

No one knows aside from about 5 people in Ipswich and Middlesbrough.

GK: 3
DF: 7
CM: 5
"Forwards": 10

I think that will be the make up of the squad. Keepers and defence settled. Ideally we would have more cover at LB, but with Young and Johnson's versatility (plus Greaves) we might roll with this. 2 CM to come in to join Matusiwa, Cajuste & Taylor. The first sees Barbrook go out on loan, a 2nd then Humphreys goes. If an U21 addition maybe Humphreys stays until Jan to make up the 25 and provide additional LB cover.

Forwards: Clarke, Philogene, Szmodics, Chaplin, Akpom, Ogbene, Burns, Hirst, Azon is 9, or 8 in the near term with Burns injury. Agree with you with Akpom's versatility I think we're done at #9 when Azon joins. 1 more addition, probably right / 10 Omari replacement.

H. Clarke & Townsend unregistered. Baggott, Barbrook, AAH, Omari still to go out.

Who the 3 in are remains to be seen but we need some proven quality.

Well he isn't getting a game at Liverpool. If they don't do a deal with a PL club before the end of the window he will be ending up in the Championship one way or another.

Id be very surprised if we only sign one more attacker (including Azon)

I reckon 2x CM, Wide player maybe 2, another striker.

Lots of ability in those highly-stocked forward areas but it all looks a bit mercurial and ... flimsy ... to me, it doesn't feel quite right. Maybe I'll be proved spectacularly wrong, let's hope so.

Hayden Hackney does not want to play for Ipswich Town Football Club, let's find players that do. He and Omari will be warming benches next season in the premier should their wishes be delivered.

Well we only practically have one loan spot left now - I know we can have more than 5 but can't see we will want to do that and leave one out of the squad each week. Therefore, we are going to have to do a couple of chunky permanent deals now you would think to get the required quality in. Not sure we go big on another 9 after signing Azon, but still need another 10 and a CM for sure.

Interestingly, I'd heard we are looking at an Omari replacement that currently plays in Holland.
