Aye same my cousin asked would I not like to see him do well since he’s Irish and I said If it means we stay up I’d be happy out with him being terribleI'd say good luck to Keith Andrews but I hope it goes disasterously for them![]()

Rare you get appointed into the premier league in your first ever management job. Only one I can think of is Mikel Arteta.

Just wondering, why aren't you excited at Lauriente but you are for Bischoff?Aye, I look at Ipswich’ signings last season and £20m seems the going rate for bang average players over here now it’s worrying. Glad we look to be targeting European leagues but I can’t lie I’m not really getting too excited over a few of the names we’ve seen mentioned in the last few days ie Lauriente/Baradji. Be plenty of links over the next 9 or so weeks though so be others that are exciting, like Bischoff.
I think some fans are just desperate for another through the door at this stage so anyone will do![]()
I'm more comfortable with the Baradji link than the Lauriente one I think. Higher position of need at a much more palatable price. One that fits in the odds and sods category rather than the 5 key signings one, you'd imagine. Effectively a direct swap for Ekwah with the hope that he can contribute more.Aye, I look at Ipswich’ signings last season and £20m seems the going rate for bang average players over here now it’s worrying.

Being honest I view that as a bit of a throwaway comment. There's probably a way of making that number something you could swallow over a single season (if you maximise the amortisation window on every transfer it amounts to £40m a year over 5 years). However, the question is what that allows you to do in year two. If we max out next season we've got no wiggle room for 26/27 without a big sale or two. It's all about the annual loss. Our 24/25 accounts will help us for the next few years due to the Jobe and Watson sales, but it we max out next year it stores up trouble that could well hit us the season after, but certainly clobber us in 27/28.Article here from Kieron Maguire outline what we could potentially do - bit old news but been brought up a couple of times today

I love Mundle and would be sad but those two would be very solid replacements I reckonWhat would be the general opinion if we signed Lauriente and Bischoff but sold Mundle to spurs for their homegrown quota?
Yeah I agree, would be good for us financially and more than adequate replacements - although I don't think he would want to go back.I love Mundle and would be sad but those two would be very solid replacements I reckon
Disappointed personally, but I guess it makes a bit more sense in terms of squad management. Would be hugely price dependent too. If we get more for Mundle than we spend on Lauriente then we're maintaining a decent spot. Would be another erosion of an excellent squad culture though.What would be the general opinion if we signed Lauriente and Bischoff but sold Mundle to spurs for their homegrown quota?
