Comfortably the biggest head-scratcher for me in this squad.

Must be a manager's nightmare. At surface level, an absolute Rolls Royce, but delve deeper and is it all aesthetics and no end product? I fear so. He's meant to be our ball progressor. Sure, he can eat up ground with the ball for days, but if you dwell on the ball for too long or make the wrong pass/weight of pass, what's the point?

Jack's added some real bite in their alongside Matusiwa, but we know he's not 'cute' like Nunez. In reality, we need 2x Nunez's - one to compete for the left-sided pivot and one for the central 10!

This tweet summed it up perfectly for me. He’s nice to watch at times but largely ineffective and a really bad fit for the system. Also vanishes from the game almost always in the 2nd half and you just can’t afford to do that in our system.

Poll: Will Paul Lambert be Ipswich Town manager on the final day of this season ?

....at receiving the ball in tight spaces, shaking off his man, driving forward 10 yards and then making an inch-perfect 5 yard pass directly to the opposition.

I've never understood the fuss about him tbh and never got the hype, because I genuinely can't decide what type of midfielder he is. He's not strong defensively or particularly creative. He doesn't have the legs either to be a box to box midfielder. His main asset appears to be the ability to break the lines with a clever turn, but it rarely leads to anything.

I think he could be a useful finisher. I think the last 20 minutes of last nights game would have played to his strengths more than the first 70

The "doesn't have the legs" thing is quite damning, isn't it?

I wouldn't be at all surprised if he does end his playing days in a Saudi Arabia or UAE league, simply because he can't cope with the pace of the game in Europe.

Only Town could sign someone with a chronic knee injury that means he can rarely train and needs wrapping in cotton wool for one of the most demanding leagues in the world.
