Go and get Ivanovic 15:28 - Aug 17 with 3205 views | blueoutlook | I’d be after this guy for definite now. Why we haven’t tried for him I don’t know. He would be a great fit up top. Would help Hirst. They could rotate. He won’t be cheap but if we are willing to throw good money at Hackney and a kid from Norway,then we may as well on a proven championship player. |  | | |  |

Go and get Ivanovic on 17:10 - Aug 17 by BloomBlue | Must admit I've not been into Town for a couple of years now. Grandson drove us into Ipswich today and we parked at Tacket Street. Walked from that end of the town centre to the opposite end, civic drive. I was shocked at the state of the town centre, what a shlt hole. Not sure if the council is on strike but litter flying everywhere, empty shops, everything looked completely run down. Even had to be careful walking on the pedestrian area as every third brick was half sticking up. I honestly couldn't believe how bad the town centre looked today. Certainly wouldn't attract any player looking at that |
A rat ran in front of me today walking through town centre 🐀 😲 Not at all worried about the lack of signings, yet. We're clearly setting our sights high and will have to be patient to land premier league quality players. |  | |  |

Go and get Ivanovic on 16:52 - Aug 17 by blueoutlook | I’m not nervous. Ivanovic isn’t a lesser player. We can’t wait forever to make our moves. I’ve just stated why, because we invariably end up with no one. There are good players outside the PL and anyway they will only be kids who will probably take 6 months to settle, if at all that we get from said PL. |
You're clearly nervous that we'll "end up with nothing". The window's not shut. Let's wait and see when it is, eh? |  |

Go and get Ivanovic on 17:38 - Aug 17 by duke_maiden | Isn't this one of the reasons we have brought in Akpom and we're chasing Azon. That shows the club have targets and we still have some of the window left. Plus Ali |
Akpom not a 9. I’m concerned. We have known that Delap was leaving since April. Additionally, we needed another striker in January (with Hirst injured) and didn’t get one. This has been an issue for a long time now. |  | |  |

Akpom can play as a 9 and does it well. Dunno where this myth has come from that he can't. Take a look on sofascore or similar. For example, in Feb played as main striker for Lille against Rennes, 3 shots on target. 1.65xg, scored a goal and rated 7.7/10. Lots of other examples where he's played 9 too across his career. |  | |  |

Troy has been amazing with AZ Alkmaar but he is not the type of player we can use in the current system ( shows how a player can blossom in the right system ). We may need to modify the system to take account of the players we have or are being targeted. Similarly we may should modify playing out from the back if we are playing a goalkeeper with two left feet! |  | |  |

Go and get Ivanovic on 16:41 - Aug 17 by The_Flashing_Smile | Because, as has been explained countless times on here, if you want the top players (who could potentially play in the Prem as well) you have to wait for them. The problem is they often think they're ready for the Prem, see Hackney as a case in point. Then there's the fact that players already in the Prem are harder to persuade to drop down... and many aren't even available until the Prem clubs have finalised their squads (again, something that happens towards the end of the window). |
It’s a shame that this has to be explained so often. |  | |  |

Been saying for a couple of years he'd be a good fit for how we play and stylistically. The fact he has now got the goals to back it up more consistently is great. wouldnt be cheap though. |  |
