Massively improves them, and really gets and will be committed to the derby. Murphy didn’t go anywhere either. They’ll be a much more settled side then us, going to be a tough game. Could do with it coming another 3 or 4 games down the line really.
Just seen our fixtures for September. All look quite tough, aside from maybe Sheff U, but you’d expect them to click sooner or later with their squad.
Incredible to move on from 20 members of the previous season's first team squad in one summer window - and still trying to get Aribo and Edozie out the door Ramsdale Lumley Walker-Peters Sugawara Bree Bednarek Bella-Kotchap Kayi Sanda Taylor Larios Ugochukwu Smallbone Fernandes Lallana Gronbaek Amo-Ameyaw Dibling Sulemana Brereton Diaz Onuachu
Ipswich fans on the whole seem a bit miffed with their window. A lot saying they’ve basically lost the soul of the double promotion team; now just a bunch of randoms; no connect with the fans etc. Must be tough. At least after our double promotion we got to enjoy a few years of top half Prem before our demise.
Quite amusing looking back and reading the abuse some were giving Spors and SR last week when Fernandes left
Have we really got rid of that many? I completely forgot Gronbaek existed, he was a juric signing? Jesus I’m realising how much of last season I blanked out/ignored.
21 if you include Juan (I didn't because he never made a single appearance, despite officially being a SFC player)
It's quite remarkable that we could basically play an entire eleven that weren't really involved last season.
