    It wouldn't be a transfer window without him being linked!

    Last season? When we had Broadhead as backup to Stewart?

    Not for me Clive. 28 years old and unproven/not good enough at Championship level

    Not sure why. He’s always banging them in in league one. Arguably one of their best players

    I don’t disagree but he scored more goals in a **** Peterborough side in the championship than any of our players did in a side that created loads of chances.

    don’t think he’s right but he’d be nowhere near as bad as many make out

    21 Championship goals in 98 games and will be 29 before the start of the season.
    Doesn't inspire me with confidence, especially when you factor in that he takes their penalties

    Yes but most of those games were before he turned 23 and he was clearly a late bloomer.

    12 in 41 in Peterborough’s last championship season, when they were pants and didn’t create anything, and 26 and 31 in the two league one seasons either side. Can’t really argue with that.

    I can argue that L1 is irrelevant when assessing his suitability for top end Championship

    I get what you are saying - scored an average amount of goals in a poor team suggests he could score a reasonable amount in a good team

    Ultimately I trust the club and it's recruitment. What will be, will be

    I can't get away and will never get away from the fact we didn't re sign Broadhead. So many if you were against it citing injuries etc. I still maintain he was the ideal type for us and would have given us so many options.

    Reputedly he has a poor attitude. This is from Peterborough fans

    Can't quite recall but I thought the rumour was that we did try to get him again but he didn't fancy it because he wasn't sure he'd get a game with Stewart and Simms ahead of him. So he went a level down where he was guaranteed games.

    Whatever the case I think he's a good player and will do well for Ipswich in the championship. He's a natural goal scorer.

    Oh right I get you now, personally I think he's a canny player and the other stuff about why we didn't sign him is just rumour.

    If we wanted him in January he would have came I reckon. The stuff mentioned above I believe to be true in the summer window.

    For me I think we missed a striker more at home than away but looking forward it means we can attack indifferent ways and can on occasion cross a ball :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    This is true. Also, did you see his performance in the second leg of the play offs, absolutely rancid. Stay well clear.
