Thread | ITFC Squad...
at 13:34 25 Jul 2018
as far as I am aware, and utilising PH's preferred 4-1-4-1 formation, this is more or less the squad at present:
GK: Bart, Gerks
RB: Spence, Emmanuel, Cotter
LB: Knudsen, Kenlock
DC1: Chambers, Chalobah
DC2: Woolfenden, (Knudsen, Spence)
DM: Skuse, Downes
CM1: Dozzell, Bish, Adeyemi, (Downes)
CM2: Nydam, Huws (Waghorn, Ward)
RW: Ward, Rowe (Sears)
LW: Edwards, Roberts
ST: Harrison, Waghorn, Garner, Sears
We are obviously very light in central defence and unless a few of the central midfielders can get themselves match fit, PH may be forced to play some players out of position, or change his preferred formation.
Even if PH secures some or all of his targets, how quickly will he be able to integrate them into his system of play, and will they have the required fitness levels to make it work? Also, the players we are looking at apparently, are not Championship experienced, so they will need to step up a level or two themselves.
Good luck with that, Paul!
Any thoughts? |

Thread | Recruitment at ITFC.....
at 08:05 18 Jul 2018
PH wants more players, but does not seem very confident of getting what he wants at the moment.
Question is, how does recruitment work at Ipswich under ME? In particular, is PH given a budget for transfers and wages, and who is involved in negotiations?
We can all guess, but does anyone know exactly? |

Thread | Ben Knight clauses?
at 13:01 30 Jun 2018
I appreciate that if the lad and his parents want him to go, all we can hope for is that the club get the best possible deal. The headlines will always concentrate on the main fee, but surely it is even more important to recognise the potential of the youngster with milestone payment clauses, international call-up, a significant sell-on and even a buy-back clause.
Anyone know what we got wrt Charlie Brown and others, or what is currently on the table for Knight? |

Thread | Pleased that England play fairly.......
at 08:46 19 Jun 2018
Pleased that England play fairly (as much as you can these days), but what do teams ever win when they do that? There were enough examples last night. One that stood out for me was the incident where Lingard hit the post. He jumped over the outstretched legs of their advancing keeper instead of allowing a bit of contact and going down for the penalty (like the cunning [sp] Ronaldo would have done). Also, we weren't in the face of the ref, as other teams would have been with some of the odd decisions he made, or that he chose not to make. |
