Ndoye and McAtee are ahead of him
at 09:16 4 Sep 2025

He smashed up the Championship last time around, why would he want to do it again when it was obvious Premier League teams wanted him and he wanted to be back there?

We got a very good deal, he got Premier League football, everyone 's happy except those that are harbouring grudges and bitterness

The Athletic Worst Premier League transfers this window

Why do it at all as it's completely subjective and not based on performance? But if they do like a list, it would make a lot more sense at the end of the season when they could at least try to justify their choices.

There will be an empty seat in the Cobbold stand tomorrow where my brother usually sat. He sadly passed away this morning. A season ticket holder for many years, he took me to my first match at PR in the early 70s and many away games when I was too young to go alone. He's also kept my son in Town shirts over the last 20 years or so. We'll miss him hugely.

He looks honestly and genuinely happy to be at Portman Road.

He's a bright lad too, studied industrial engineering at university apparently.

Probably because he has shown that he has got the best out of far more players than he hasn't.

Given this quality, surprised no buy clause did come to fruition (n/t)
at 06:22 29 Aug 2025

I believe it was reported that his contract with Como has a 10 million buyout clause. No idea how accurate that is but sounds feasible, especially considering what Como paid for Azón in February.

It means if all goes well he could be an Ipswich player in January. If it doesn't or there are complications with his injuries, he's back at Como in June.

Edit.
Added link that says his buyout clause is 10 million euros when he was expected to be loaned to Valencia.

Me too.

I think there may have been stuff going on behind the scenes that we probably won't know about but reports were he was close to signing for Olympiacos last week and just yesterday for Getafe.

It appears he originally wanted to sign for Valencia when they showed interest but that wasn't going to happen with their messing about and lack of funds and commitment.

Pure speculation on my part but I think the deal was done in reality a couple of weeks back and the delay has been Como backing down on the obligation to buy at the end of the loan. And I believe Azón was holding out for that or he could have been playing Champions League football in Greece or close to home in a crappy Madrid suburb.

I've seen him described in the Spanish press as the most exciting young prospect amongst strikers here. Fàbregas rates him highly and gave him quite a bit of time pre-season despite deciding he had overbooking on attackers and signed Morata on top.

I'm really looking forward to seeing him and providing real competition for Hirst.

From the little I've seen he is a proper goalscorer and a tad feisty. Still quite young and new to English football so expectations need to be tempered a bit but I think McKenna will get the best out of him.

Reports here said we've been watching him since 2023 so in no way a panic buy, maybe just cautious particularly following a recurring injury from last season.

Will Azon have had a pre season?
at 20:06 28 Aug 2025

Top scorer in their pre-season but 45 minutes or so in each of 4 matches I believe. Sub against Lazio at the weekend. Fàbregas rates him but can't stop buying more players so ultimately no room in the squad.

Maybe wait to see him play a few matches before deciding what his role and expectations will be.

Why is it no chance? Local and national media both reporting it. Looks like a very good chance.

Just had a look and he is strongly linked again with a loan move to Getafe so maybe we'd go back for him in January / next Summer.

Pretty sure we could get a deal done this window if we wanted to though.

It wouldn't surprise me. According to reports here we've been interested in him since 2023. The obligation to buy following his recurring injury issue / medical was probably the sticking point but a renegotiated deal would make sense.

Como have about six strikers, made a shed load of signing so would probably be very happy to move him on.

Fernandes to West Ham
at 11:01 28 Aug 2025

Southampton have made some serious dosh this week with a reported 38 million now for Fernandes after Dibling going to Everton.

Good to see a potential rival weakened and little time to spend on replacements. Two good fees though.

That's because you've never liked or rated him. Now, imagine if it was about Downes coming...

I've seen a fair bit of him and I can't believe he would be anywhere near suitable, not even as third choice. He had one good season about 5 years ago, looked way out of his depth at Villarreal and very poor in a very poor Southampton side.
