And not Ashton reacting to pressure from the fan base and trying a quick win to
Improve his standing with the fans.
Ashton clearly has an ego and recent analysis of his role in recruitment will have stung him
I'm sure. It’s a key window for us and setting the club up for the next 2 years that we have to get a good hit rate on signings.
I’ve not seen loads of Nunez, just bits in the derby games and thought he’s looked ok, but this is a lot of money for a player who if he does any wrong, the morons will be on his back as an ex Norwich player.
Still let’s get the deal over the line and see how he fits in!

Pressure from the fanbase, is there?
I doubt Ashton's going to spunk £10m to keep a few online wazzocks happy. |  |

He’s a very good player and exactly what we need
It’s great business
Well done ITFC
For me this may well be the signing of the summer |  |

Do you not think the recruitment record from the last 15 months has been analysed then after us going down with a whimper?
Delap and Omari have been successful es but there’s question marks over Johnson, Greaves, Clarke, Palmer, Philogene. Phillips was a failure for what he was brought in for.
I’m doubt he has tbh but we all know about the ego and this isn’t a simple signing for a myriad of reasons. | | | |

We might’ve put the bid in ages ago and Norwich were just hoping someone else would come in! |  |

That’s the standard line about pretty much every signing tbf.
Hope he does well for us, not seen enough of him to be fully confident we have got one yet but time will tell!! | | | |

This one is bizarre in the extreme.
Utterly ridiculous |  | | |

Doubts about some of the purchases? Sure. That doesn't equate to "pressure from the fanbase" (or any more than is usual). | |

Not sure I could see us paying out 30million on 2 central midfielders in the Championship but stranger things have happened. | | | |

I think it does as a parachute payment team. We have 2 years to get up otherwise it becomes a real slog again and we will be back in the pack. | | | |

Taking aside the fact it's sent Norwich fans into meltdown on a purely football level it looks a really good fit for what we need. To me £7.5 mil isn't even too bad. I'm sure there is an 'Ipswich Tax' on it but honestly feels market rate probably due to the fact he has 12 months only. I'm sure they would have got £5-7 off someone else.
Good signing. |  |

This is a very good signing, he’s a very good championship player and also won’t even be in our strongest 11. Azor and Cajuste are the midfield 2, but bringing on someone with this quality when Cajuste tires is perfect. | | | |

There has been no fan pressure for us to sign a Norwich player.
They are always sh1t for us, hopefully Nunez bucks the trend. |  |

unlikely granted! But I’ve heard things that have happened at clubs that are done
To appease people, fans and it’s quite surprising. | | | |

7.5m rising to 10m is the same as broadhead, he's much more experienced at this level (albeit, at a much weaker team) and a good few years younger, so seems about right | |

Nah. The fact its suddenly happened you can bet Ashton tapped up his agent weeks ago, and let him know we're interested.... should the contract talks breakdown. The old... Wink, wink, coughs out £35k a week, taps nose |  | | |

I’m not sure that’s strictly true dav
I’m an optimistic fan.. but for me the Leicester city fans feedback, and the fee, mean McAteer has some question marks. Albeit he did have a great start in the Championship for Leicester.
Different reaction for me | |

I thought some of our recruitment had been haphazard and not consistent this last 15 months. This revelation has confirmed my worst fears and you have been involved!!
1 down, 2 maybe 3 to go. What are you saying Frimmers? Rene Higuita, Carlos Valderamma, Sam
Vokes, in? | | | |
