I think that's what he was saying tbf. Smallbone and Aribo don't really fit in any position.

It won't happen but I'd really love that.

Good signing if we get him. Fits with Still saying we want championship experience and I'd like a player who knows the league as much more likely to be able to be a success straight away.

Surely Spertsyan? Perhaps a more realistic signing.

The likes of brooks were really decent last time and we never looked to sign him. I agree we shouldn't be reliant on too many loans but there is a place for one or two is appropriate.

It doesn't matter what we want it makes financial sense to get one or two loans in.

Every team apart from about 5 have to sell their best players. Our problem is mostly we have too many misses in the transfer market and we didn't bring in sufficient quality last season and tried to rely on players already here.

If I'm honest I'd rather sell Dibling and bring in the fresh new players that we need. Selling Dibling and bringing in a new 10, rb on loan and top winger woukd improve our chances of promotion a lot.

I don't think anyone should get too excited at the prospect of keeping with players. Losing both is still the more likely outcome. I'd be very happy if we kept one.

And MLG is a teacher! dear dear.

Which part of the Tory tenure are we comparing it to? Not that we should compare anyway, Labour are quite capable of being judged on their own merits of without reference to the terrible Tories.

If we're aiming to improve on 4th then we will need them to be better than that. That's assuming Stewart can actually get on the pitch of course.

Let's look at the Ipswich lineup shall we: Bazunu - not signed last year Fraser - hangover from the previous season THB - loan from previous season Stephen - not signed last year Quarshie - not signed last year Wellington - signed last year Charles - not signed last year Downes - loan from previous season Fernandes - likely to leave Robinson - not signed last year Armstrong - not signed last year So if we signed players to use this season we didn't do a very good job of it, particularly when you consider the likes of Fernandes are likely to leave.

Who is scoring 16 this season? I already said I'm not expecting better strikers.

Labour working wonders for that economy.

Adams is a better championship striker than all of our current strikers and he played the majority of games. We also scraped promotion via the playoffs with a better striker leading the line than we have now.

I know we won't get another striker but the strikers aren't currently good enough in my view. Downs is a prospect, Stewart can't stay fit and hasn't had a consistent run of form since being with us, AA isn't a striker and BBD needs to leave and will hardly play regardless.

I simply don't agree with that. Still has already said that he can't play the formation he wants to at the moment because we don't have any proper wingers. We've brought in a striker with potential but have no reliable out and out number 9 that's going to score 15-20 goals this season unless we are crossing our fingers that Downs with develop in a short period or Stewart is going to suddenly start doing it. Archer is a different type of player that Still seemingly doesn't currently view as a starter. Still also said he wants new players with championship experience so remains to be seen if we can get that in too. So in my mind we need: RB Extra option in midfield because Downes and Charles won't play every game Top quality replacements for Fernandes and Dibling if/when they leave At least one winger maybe two In a perfect world I'd try to get rid of another forward option and get in a reliable number 9 as the Adams replacement but I accept that's unlikely. Aribo, Smallbone, Edozie, maybe Sugawara, BBD and ABK all need to leave or go on loan.

We must have different standards. There's still time to improve but we require more than decent-ish looking prospects.

I'm glad we were effectively relegated last December and have had so long to prepare for this summer and the transfer window in particular.

Well we supposedly have a new regime in charge. You have to think that if we don't go up this year, one main reason will be our lack of a reliable number 9.

I'm surprised we went for someone like that to be our main man up front. If he doesn't show the required quality, it's a hell of a risk to hope that Stewart stays fit and starts firing because there isn't much of an alternative beyond that.

Has the person you know mentioned the likelihood of selling Fernandes?

Losing Alcaraz was a travesty. Martin was a prick for how he treated him.

Please don't sack him rangers. At least let him get tonked by celtic first.
