The Summer 2025 Transfer Window Thread

Not going to pin that one on the club, he looked rubbish in various loan spells in the Championship.

I can't rewrite history on that one, the bits I saw of him at Hull didn't impress

Yes I agree with that as I certainly wasn’t clamouring to sign him before. I suppose what I should have stated is that players who have impressed in the Premier League will not be coming to us, we have to spot the talent or take a punt beforehand.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

We did get Calamity Nathan but it's probably a stretch to say he impressed. Also out and out strikers are thin on the ground these days and so will always be a bit different.

For the record I'm OK with Jørgen, think he's getting a bit of a raw deal lately. He's a good player. Plus we've basically already bought him.

That was Ipswich's transfer strategy in general. Delap, Muric, Clarke, Townsend, Greaves, O Shea, Philogene, Palmer. All players who'd spent the majority of their careers at that level. Which is why they look like a very good Championship team. Delap an obvious hit, Palmer based on today, the rest have been what they are (Philogene too new to rate)

7 goals and 2 assists in 23 games isn’t too shabby for a young lad in a new league. A few excellent saves from chances for him too. I don’t think we necessarily play to his strengths either.

They’ve spent an awful lot on precious little quality. Whether Delap will make up the losses on the rest will determine if the strategy has paid off if they go down.

Yeah Larsen is pretty good. Not the type of player some might want him to be but he can lead the line well and just suffered by being coached by a moron first and flogged a bit

 

[Tony Towner]

He is pretty good. He hasn't been under this manager though, bar a good goal coming off the bench. Might be coincidence, might be that he was carrying his injury longer than we know, or it might be that he wants a centre forward that can hold the ball up for us to counter. He can't do that at least at the moment, it doesn’t stick and he's easy to knock off the ball.
