They pay £35k per week for Moore. He’s decent, but not that good. In context , for a team just promoted, that is a massive risky outlay. If it works (which it probably will) then fine, but if not you’re in muddy waters
It has worked. They are 1 point from PL promotion. Sometimes, investment and outplay gets your quality.
When you get lucky. They have spent way more on wages than most in our division. If they didn’t succeed they’d have been up the creek. I’d rather know we’re financially stable than risk it all. Just an opinion
3 Wages down the drain over the course of the season, Burstow will obviously go back, I am not convinced on Hemir or Rusyn, we need much better to kick on.
Mate I’d have me up front ahead of Burstow! Rusyn I don’t think is a centre forward, more wide man and I think he’ll be a good player if he stays. Hemir isn’t ready. Brandon Williams is on £65k. Good player but how can a just promoted club pay those wages without a massive risk? £100k a week on 2 players
Aye. Add Dack into it too. Sure Moore has scored more in two games than them all combined over the season. We don't need more for less. We need quality.
He or I think needs time, but he’s on about £3k, Rusyn I’ve seen glimpses of stuff I love. But he’ll never be a number 9 imo. He’s a wide player for me
Rusyn doesnt strike the ball cleanly enough for me, there is something there but at his age is he really going to improve a great deal more, I am not so sure.
When the title said Ipswich won't go up, it didn't specify which season..... Congratulations to them, I doubt they'll mess up on the final day, and let dirty smelly Leeds go up
they were in a great position and took a calculated risk (not a massive risk as their wage bill is nowhere near as high as others in our league). The best teams will know when to take a calculator risk on a player, whether short or long term, to help them get to where they want to get to I dont want us being stupid with money but i would like to think if we were in ipswich's position we would have done the same They have a manager they trust and thats the big difference
Play great football as well, they are always a cracking watch Intrigued to see how they do next season
Always interested to see how clubs who go up act in the transfer market. Do they follow the Villa/Forest/Burnley method of ripping the promotion squad apart and spending huge amounts or do they try and keep the squad together with a few additions. The gap between PL and EFL is so big now I don't think there's a method that guarantees success so i'd much rather see teams keep their squads together so if they do go back down they aren't burdened with huge contracts.
