What is the one thing that is least likely to happen today? Jim White on Sky Transfer News.... "...And we now go live to Portman Road to report on the latest Transfer Activity....." #Tumbleweed
Obviously the club has no ambition whatsoever even when we are in the strongest league position since Evans took over!
What positions would we like new signings? Winger for me key * Stewart no idea what's going on there * Anderson hot/cold * Henshall on loan * Tabb NOT a winger! Also like to perhaps see something different in the middle of the park. Not a transfer as such, but could Ambrose feature more from us from here on in? If we were so unimaginative vs Wigan at home, could he be the man we could perhaps try more?
westy that's a good call about ambrose, that game was crying out for a creative spark and he could have provided it!
Ballmouth and Derby are strengthening their squads for the final push and what are we doing? Jackshit as usual... oh we may borrow a player or 2 later in the month if we're lucky! We couldn't even fill our Subs bench for the game against Millwall ffs! Yes I'm pissed off!
Bournemouth are strengthening because they have a manager that thinks it is needed, unlike us. Mick is happy with what we have and may just bring in a loan or two. HE IS YOUR HERO WARKY, YOU SHOULD TRUST HIS JUDGEMENT AND STOP YA MOANING!!
Warky we don't meed mass changes but it does appear we need an upgrade or two to confirm us top 6 and give us a chance of top 2. Bournemouth/Boro/Derby all look to be lining up upgrades and it is hard to take I must say given our position and how much ££££ Keane and Jewell flushed down the toilet. Still get angry now when I think how many millions they wasted. Need to get shot of Taylor ASAP aswell, can't be good for morale etc him lingering, probably texting certain players etc. He needs to be gone! Even pay up his contract early if necessary just get rid. Mick's very good at finding a bargain though isn't he, like Sears. I very much trust what Mick's doing - but can't help but feel quite dejected as 11pm tonight gets closer and closer with it being evident nothing's going to happen our end. Just hope Jonny Williams or someone of that ilk will be joining on loan in a week or two.
I hope for Joniesta or Jesse Lingard to come in, perhaps another RB or get EH back from Colchester so we can play 3 at the back!
I'm not talking about mass changes Westy but the need to get in one or two quality additions to cover for injuries etc,,,If Murphy is out injured for any length of time we are fooked!
http://www.twtd.co.uk/ipswich-town-news/26727/mccarthy-taylor-wont-be-back--full-stop Taylor won't be back whatever happens so he will be off the wage bill. Do we need additions.....I'm not sure. Do we need to do something different with the players that we do have available.....yes, I think so.
It's not surprisingly that we're not bringing in anybody permanent, really. Evans isn't shelling out the cash because, unfortunately, I don't think we have any spare for transfer fees. The financial largesse of previous years were always going to catch up with us, so I'd agree the books needs balancing. However, I hope that's not going to impede on us bringing in some loanees over the next couple of weeks. As I said before, I think it's obvious we need to improve the squad's strength in-depth and provide some creativity in midfield, which has gone a bit stale lately. Bring in Jones, if he's available and a winger on a short term deal. We have a lot of games coming up this month, so we cannot afford to leave our squad stretched thin.
Not sure we're going to be able to afford a big enough %%%% of his £30,000 a week + wages ( probably well over £40,000 )
