He only started 8 games for Ipswich. If they won’t sign him permanently in the Prem, why should we?
Because they don’t have 2 contracted central midfielders currently…

We have Crooks and Slater, not including Matazo as he’s out and Gyabi as he’ll likely go out on loan. We need depth as much as we need starters. And he’s a pretty decent safe option. He’s decent, free and he won’t leave if we go down. Win win

That’s irrelevant. We’ve got all summer to sign better than Dan Neil.

i do reckon we are planning more for having a good team in the champ the season after than going all out for prem survival, which might not be a bad thing
and staying up would be an incredible bonus

With the gap ever widening a few years as a yoyo might be the best thing, don't do a Luton, do an Ipswich

i think you do everythig you can to stay in there, not throw money around willy nilly but already thinking about possible season in the championship again is not the way to go and i hope they arent thinking like that personally.
good to have a squad that wont fall apart completely if relegated and be sensible, but you have to take your chance now its come and look to do a Brighton/Brentford.
theres no guarantee of coming back up again no matter how strong a squad you go down with.
 
They absolutely aren’t going to be thinking like that as the fiscal reward for staying up vastly outweighs going down.

A handful of smart signings like Dan Neil aren’t going to prevent us signing some flash wingers for 15m from the continent to fire us to European glory.

Hull City have taken up a one-year option in Harvey Cartwright's contract to keep the goalkeeper at the club until the end of next season. The Grimsby-born 24-year-old spent part of last season on loan at Hartlepool and will get another year at the Tigers, who have confirmed their retained list for next season.

Cartwright's new contract is the only senior retention from the first team squad, with confirmation midfielder Harry Vaughan will leave the club on June 30 when his contract expires, having been on loan at Irish club Bohemians.

There is also confirmation the loan deals have ended for Joe Gelhardt, Toby Collyer, Amir Hadziahmetovic, Yu Hirakawa, Lewis Koumas and John Lundstram. The rest of the first team squad remain under for at least one more year.

In the under-21s, while captain Lewie Coyle is celebrating promotion to the Premier League, younger brother Rocco Coyle has been released. Coyle joins Pharrell Brown, Sammy Henia-Kamau, João Mendes, Harry Revill, Noah Wadsworth and Callum Yam in leaving following the expiry of their deals, but new contracts have been offered to Stan Ashbee, Ed Devine, Archie Howard, Aidon Shehu and Nathan Tinsdale.

From the under-18s, second-year scholars Ramell Carter and Josh Ocaya have been promoted to the under-21s after signing their first professional deals, while Zac Jagielka, Charlie Leach, Calvin Okike and Reuben Silk have been offered professional contracts to join the Under-21s.

A shame about Vaughan, tidy little player with good close ball control. Think he still could have done a job for us.
 
Just sent this to pal who's a Leicester supporter... Leicester are in talks with former Southampton and Rangers head coach Russell Martin about taking over the club following their relegation to League One.

His reply was 'just when you thought it couldn't get any worse''..

That’s got Jon Rudkin written all over it.
 
As much as McBurnie is great getting on crosses and defensively in the air, he's less good when he's got to win an ariel ball from a GK against big defenders. There were so many times last season when that tactic didn't work.

We're terrible full stop at winning the first ball from Pandur, yes his kicking needs improvement, but we also need to massively improve on winning the first ball
