    Poor old Brenna..." God it's miserable!" his final words today.

    Amen.

    Looks like Jonas is off, so PL looks to be trying out this Leicester youngster, with possibly Kenlock being first choice.
    So much for getting "help" in...

    I can only think there was some sort of assurances given to PL by Evans with regards to strengthening the team in January, and if those assurances are not met by Evans then I can see PL jumping ship.

    We need a centre forward in tomorrow. There is no point waiting until 31st. PL will have given his loan targets to the board - will we be able to get any of them to come to us?

    Apparently we cannot officially sign anyone until Jan 2 due to paperwork.

    https://www.twtd.co.uk/ipswich-town...-at-least-half-a-dozen-including-two-strikers

    So Lambert wants six in.

    Going to say this - some will agree, others will disagree - telling the media how many you want and 2 x strikers is so bloody amateurish. You do not reveal your hand to the world, it puts prices up and makes bargaining more difficult. Seriously not impressed with hearing this at all - it's like bloody Magilton all over again ie Norris. Christ alive this bloody club. Hard work.

    I’d rather have quality, not quantity, but we could do with six quality signings. I think he’s right, as long as we have a £15-£20m war chest.

    Same Hampy - providing the players we get in are quality, ideal.

    I doubt we've got that, but reckon must have some budget to be saying something as mad as that!

    Looks like Knudsen has played his final game with us.

    Apparently Huws close to coming back - not THAT would be massive.

    I don't think PL saying what he wants to the media makes a blind bit of difference. Everyone will know we are desperate and that my friend will inflate the prices. The seller is totally in control with us.

    It would be nice to think he's realised the error of his cheapskate ways and the thought of losing yet more money will jerk him into action.

    I’d love to be proved wrong guys but the cynic in me says he’s completely bored with us and just wants out at least cost to himself.

    First signing in the door in Leicester LB Callum Elder. Can't say it gets the pulses racing, but it's a start.

    Not impressed with this. One of the positions that we shouldn’t need to strengthen but due to the lack of any semblance of an ability to run a football club we are forced to. Just two more defenders needed to sign now assuming that Wolfy’s not coming back. Good luck to the lad.

    Next one possibly coming through the door is Will Keane - Fprward from Hull.
    25, two serious knee injuries, 6 goals in 45 starts and 33 sub appearances....so the bargain basement signings continue.
    Was hoping it might be different this time around.

    At least they are possibly coming in nice and early
