This is for the (somewhat) older fans............Stuart Slater. Back in the day we paid the not inconsiderable sum of £750,000 for young Slater. He was a wideman who had burst on to the top flight at West Ham, flopped at Celtic but we were hopeful of a renaissance in blue. Nothing seemed to work for him in a Town shirt. He appeared to try hard but to no avail. I cannot remember what happened to him and fear that the same fate is awaiting Kasey McAteer. That first half yesterday was as poor a performance in an Ipswich shirt as I've seen in a good while. Joe Fairs and David Diamond on Blue Monday match reaction were incredulous if you fancy a watch (equally so about the hapless shark Ivan Azon btw).
It could all be so different for Kasey. He spurned a great chance early in his Town career against Derbt iirc, other misses too, especially Wrexham could have changed the narrative. He's put in a few decent crosses but cr@p finishing from our strikers mean he has yet to record a valuable assist and other than sheer hard running, nobody can see why we have spent a heap of cash on him. It's all so......well.........Stuart Slater. |  |

Painfully slow player (?), I recall. But I was super young.
Shocked we paid that much for him, a fortune back then. |  |

Reminds me of harness. Lots of running but doesn't generally do that well think he may eventually get a goal but hes the sort of signing I'd have expected coming up from league 1 rather than down from the prem. |  |

Rude to Harness!  | |

It was our (joint?) record signing at the time I think. | |

The most pertinent point you make is the small margins thing. "It could all be so different for Kasey. He spurned a great chance early in his Town career against Derbt iirc, other misses too, especially Wrexham could have changed the narrative. He's put in a few decent crosses but cr@p finishing from our strikers mean he has yet to record a valuable assist and other than sheer hard running ..."
I don't get why so many of our fans are so keen to stick the boot in. The same happened to Muric who is back to his best back in Italy now. If only the fans could give him a chance but you are right, they won't and it will be a remarkable turnaround now if he does make it. |  |

Darren Currie described himself as a "slow winger". A good player though. | |

To think we have spent around £40m in transfer fees on that right-attacking position!
I just checked Ogbene's stats at Sheffield Utd, he has made just 10 appearances with no goals or assists apparently. |  | | |

Reminds me of quite a few non league players over the years! If we had picked him from non league football, then sure we’d have more patience, but what was his fee again? |  | | |

Reminds me of a young Tony Swallow to look at that reference is also for older fans |  | | |

Yeah agree with that. Especially as Harness was a fraction of the price of Nanny McFee |  | | |

Slater arrived with lots of optimism as being the star player but like you say he never quite made it but tried so bloody hard. I remember we were all singing his name in the pub at QPR before his first game and he just didn’t not feature at all in the match. | | | |

I thought he was more of an attacking midfielder, quality player, close control etc but he just couldn't finish..
I've still no idea what KM saw in McAteer, Burns will feel like a huge upgrade when he's up and firing again.. |  | | |
