Excellent, my money is on Mark to get a great fee. If he can get £10m with add-ons for Broadhead, he can make good money on Muric!

I am happy for him to go with our best wishes.

Don’t care if he ends up at naaaarwich as long as we get a good fee for him!

Just get rid. Calamity Muric. Still have nightmares about Bournemouths first. Sunday league stuff

Bluearmy, I still have nightmares about some very simple chances missed by players here at the other end of the pitch over the years, who most certainly were top notch and less so. Are you going to call out GH and IA for missing a huge amount of big chances in the season just finished? Or is it just specifically reserved for AM? Players do and will indeed make mistakes, all of them, in all positions. Sometimes they unfortunately come in clusters like AM's did, not helped by an extremely streaky defence. It's all over now, just hope he finds a good place settle and continues to show what he's really capable of.

Dont be surprised if he turns up pre season "for assessing"?

Recent report say Agirrezabala picked up a meniscus injury and the option to buy fee was 12M Euro... the report says Valencia's financial circumstances would struggle to pay that.
If Muric goes for 10M Euro then it's cheaper, but is it cheap enough? Valencia have a new stadium to pay for.

Aro Muric like me is on a tour of Europe......

maybe swap deal with Moreno. Although may require a few more £ to seal it

@Bazza8564 Thing is Broadhead was worth that, especially when you compare him to the fees paid for Philogene and Clarke and their fee/output ratios.

We/ Ashton is going to make a loss on Muric, so make peace with that now.

Excellent, cash in and let him get on with his career.
No hard feelings or recriminations, hope he has a good life.

O'shea and fellow defenders will be having nightmares if he comes back.

Armchair, as you alluded to yourself, there were just far too many mistakes which cost far too many goals and points. Unsurprisingly the defence had absolutely no confidence in him, you could see that from a mile away. Best for all parties if he just clears off never to be seen in Ipswich again.

armchaircritic59 totally agree with all you wrote. Has anyone considered he might not have had any confidence in the leaky defence in front of him so did things he probably wouldn`t normally do. Looking at the picture above he seemed pretty confident there.

In our Prem season. Many many outfield players made mistakes. Missed chances, poor tackles, poor crosses etc.
The trouble is when a keeper makes a mistake it usually results in a goal.
Don't be so hard on him, he's still young and can still be coached.
He is a better keeper than Walton and Palmer who also made many mistakes in their careers.
If he goes then good luck to him, if he stays and becomes first choice, then i for one will support him.

Hopefully we’ll get a decent fee for him after a good season in Serie A. We need a decent number one if we are serious about staying in the PL. Walton has been excellent this season but his nervousness on crosses in a far more physical league and poor kicking under pressure is not what’s required in the PL.

Muric, Ogbenne, Sammie, Walle (tbc), Jens, Akpom, Greaves, McAteer, Azon, Nunez (TBC), Johnson.

Put all the conjecture, all the opinions, all the rhetoric to one side.

That’s £85-80 million in fees, and a huge amount on wages, agents, signing on fees etc, on players that McKenna and Ashton clearly believe aren’t good enough or likely won’t be. By dint of sending them out of the club, not selecting them, and links with other players, it’s obvious CDM and wide right especially, WE view none of our signings as good enough for this step, or even top EFL.

That’s a damming verdict on their own recruitment. We go again, but we HAVE to have different people and process, and I’m not sure we do.

If we have the same people, the same or similar process. I’m not sure why after five years we’d expect a different outcome.

Mark is great at doing deals. McKenna a brilliant coach, it’s been obvious for a long time neither is elite at talent id.., and it’s Marks job to pull people in that are MUCH better than he is .., not sure he can put ‘standing on the shoulders of giants’ ahead of ‘ego and control’.

I can’t see our 65 year old new recruitment team being at the cutting edge of data aggregation like Brentford and Brighton, or Bournemouth or Sunderland, our literal competition. We have to be at least as good as they are, or better.

And it’s not a levels thing, Brentford signed Ollie Watkins in the championship, we signed Azon, bless his socks, he’s maybe four levels below Watkins!! Their success hasn’t come as a consequence of premier league revenue, the premier league revenue was a consequence of their brilliant talent ID.

I hope I’m wrong and we sign some worldies, but experience says we’ll make the same mistakes and I get the feeling McKenna thinks he can coach the gap.., and if he still thinks that.., he’ll be in for (another) shock.

Hopefully we’ve learnt the lessons and sign some bangers, fingers crossed.

darkhorse28, like you, I most certainly hope we've learned the lessons, and also like you, I'm worried that we might not have. All will start being revealed from 15th June onwards. You fight PL battles with PL quality players, nothing less, from where doesn't matter.
