    Yeah I'd agree. They don't, it's been poor. That's the importance and hinge of the positions. 100% been out weak link with the model and transfer policy we have adopted.

    Just been speaking to one of my mates who gets info on hearts stuff. The rumour at their end is they have a bid in for a striker, he says its meant to be a decent fee so likely to be as a replacement for shankland

    He hasnt heard if they have any bids in for shankland yet but is going to ask around

    aye. Strikers come at a premium and with that comes risk. We just need to adjust our risk appetite when it comes to strikers

    Hopefully that's an option they're now considering.

    They do. But I'd rather bin off the obsession with wide forwards attackers and reallocate funds to the central position.

    Even worse. Missed opportunity. I’m sure it’ll be something along the lines of he’s too tall, past it, cost too much, doesn’t fit our style of play etc.

    Ipswich are a newly promoted team man. If they can afford it why can’t we? They’ve just signed a midfielder who would walk in our team to go with the 2 DM/CM options they already have both of whom have been better than our midfield so far this season.

    styles isn't a bad signing personally if it happens
    over 200 games and a regular in a decent international team

    Gone under the radar as we are focusing on incomings but it’s pleasing there isn’t a hint of a link away for any of our main guys

    Its a massive gamble they are doing if it pays off then grand, if they don't get promoted the wheels will certainly come off, we've been in this rodeo before, id rather us sustain and build slowly.

    Ipswich aren't trying to be self-sustainable. They will be in masses of debt to their owner and if they don't go up this season they won't be able to spend as much next year due to FFP

    Is that actually a cert or just a guess though? They’ve spent barely anything on player fees and nobody knows what wages their players are on apparently as whenever you mentioned wages people are paying quick to say capology isn’t right.

    I’d imagine if they don’t go up they’ll have interest in players so a single player sale for £5m+ will just put their revenue right up to do it again?
