Would be an exceptional signing. - 6’4 - 21 years old - Scored 13 goals for a Levante side that finished 16th in LaLiga - Similar Traits to Emersonn so likely a profile of striker that Town like (Target man / Strong physical attributes) |  | | |  |

Unsure on the reliability but a Spanish journalist with 100k followers on X has tweeted the below which translates to “Blimey, the thing with Ipswich Town and Carlos Espí. A full release clause when it seemed only the Germans would dare to go for it” |  | |  |
| Carlos Espi heading to the prem - Any chance it’s Town? on 18:07 - Jul 26 with 3015 views | SomethingBlue | Cracking player but probably one we looked at before readjusting our sights to Emersonn. |  |

Dunno sounds like we are blowing the budget and meeting the release! Would be rubbing my legs like Vic Reeves at this one |  |

I'd be surprised if we were after him. I guess if Villa are interested we've no chance anyway ( he follows them and not us on Insta) |  | |  |

Get this is unfair, but on their career so far I'd personally prefer Espi to Emersonn. But the latter is already through the door. Perhaps will sign an experienced striker as well and let Hirst go? |  |

Any evidence of this, other than an opinion piece? A Marca journalist has just said it's us. |  |

Marca now reporting we’re in for Carlos Espi. Have a horrible feeling this gets hijacked by a club higher up the food chain. This would be a real statement of intent if we can pull this off… |  | |  |

Another thing I hate about modern "journalism". Social media allows stories to be released and withdrawn on a whim, feeding into the desperation to be first because, if wrong? They'll just delete it. |  |

Disappointing. As I said before, would have preferred him to Emersonn considering their recent records, especially as O'Neil was interested in him whilst at Strasbourg. |  |

True! Especially as I'm now annoyed about not signing someone I hadn't even heard of this morning. |  |

| Carlos Espi heading to the prem - Any chance it’s Town? on 13:19 - Jul 26 by Nthsuffolkblue | Young and raw. A bit more experienced than Azon was when we signed him. Both Spanish U21 internationals. I am not sure why we would stand no chance of signing him. If that is the case, we would be shopping in the same market as the likes of Azon wouldn't we? I would suggest it is the level of player we need. |
He’s in a different stratosphere to Azon. Loads of top level clubs interested. I very much doubt we are going to spend 50m+ on two strikers of that age, the second one will be more experienced. |  |

The only time the EADT pipe straight away is if the club tell them to, which I assume they have here to dampen expectations or kill the noise. Otherwise it’s just this lot spectating themselves on twitter rumors, which is pretty rubbish content as a local rag, we can all see and do that for ourselves. |  |

Experienced midfielders AND an experienced striker needed I would think. |  | |  |

If we don’t sign another striker we’d be absolutely cooked , unless Emersonn walks in the takes the league by storm (very unlikely). So not sure what the relevance is about a midfielder here, we are going to have to do lots of deals in 5 weeks. [Post edited 26 Jul 19:33]

Agreed! The only person I take notice of from the EADT is Stuart Watson - the rest just don’t seem to have a clue. |  | |  |
