Ogilvie and Morrell are both very decent signings.
And Portsmouth have a limited budget ,so whatvare we doing ?
Getting their PoTY, Stockley, Clare and Dobson, as well as lining up Famewo for a perm
Farnewo only signs if we get promoted....
Stop digging out posters who make a comment you don't like!
The window is still open. We get it. However our rivals (or perceived rivals) are signing players and we currently aren't. Those are the facts. Window open. Our rivals are signing players. We aren't. Currently.
Nobody (I keep getting told), is happy with the current squad. So the odd poster or ten makes a comment and just gets shouted down. Despite everybody agreeing we need signings.
But unless you agree with the positive posters you're seen as the antichrist.

Nevermind.
The exact same thing is true the other way round too.
Not quite but I get the point. However. With each day that passes, I'm sure even the most positive of posters have a little feeling of discomfort.
I dont even recall that we'll be only be signing Famewo on a permanent deal if we get promoted - I know this thread is about making things up but no where has that been said.
We will come back to this comment next season.
If it was as easy as signing him now in League 1, we would have done it already.....
Possibly but we don't know.
The delay might have been due to Norwich not wanting to sell until they have signed other players, it might be Akin not wanting to commit until some later time or event (such as promotion) or it might be us not wanting to spend money on a transfer fee now that we can instead spend on another player.
Lots of different possible reasons for him not signing permanently, one of which is that it is dependent on promotion.

Still wouldn’t be halfway to Ipswich’s incomings..!
But we did not rehearse 20 plus players so we don’t need anywhere near as many as they do to make a squad ..
No....we released 16.
All 1st team players ?
We know that 16 includes u23s and players we loaned out.
How many of Ipswich’s 20 released players were part of the first team? Not counting anyone they loaned out or u23s with the odd first game appearance.
Not U23's but includes players loaned out like Oztumer & Maddison. But they were on our books in 20/21 and so needed to be replaced.
Oztumer was replaced by whoever we signed around the time he went on loan. You could say Levitt, who was then replaced by Smith. Using your logic we need to replace them with 3 players, but they could be replaced by 1 player given when they were here and how little they played.
Maddison (and Williams) were replaced by Millar and DJ.
Looking on wiki, Ipswich now have a squad of 26 and that's without youngsters.
They're surely going to have to offload a couple. Got to be worth a call to the agent of Norwood and Nolan (who are unlikely to feature much given the new signings) to see if they're happy to stay.
I watched a bit of Ipswich Saturday and their CH went off with a hammy, it's OK having good attacking and midfielders but the commentator said they were short in depth in that position after the CH went off. They will score goals but will also concede a lot if they don't add signings there. Sounds familiar.
Let’s hope there’s nothing in the Stoke rumours because if they want him they’ll get him. They do look a little short on wingers though and it’s nice and local for him.
I'm not sure they are short on wingers, unless the rumours of Ince leaving are true. Currently they've got Doughty, Brown, Ince and McClean.
Short on good wingers
Doughty will continue to develop into a left wing back at Stoke with the much abused (at Cafc) Morgan Fox playing as the left of a 3 at the back.
First team squads are limited to 20 senior players this season I believe.
"Unfortunately, the EFL is refusing to withdraw the squad size limits. Frustrating as this is, unless another solution can be found, the PFA must now therefore consider commencing a further arbitration claim and/or bringing other legal claims."

To be fair; Ipswich had a very good defensive record last season so not surprised that they've not focused on the defence
Think they had more 0-0 results than anyone else
Which explains why they've gone crazy signing attack minded players

I understand we have an option price agreed, so what happens to Norwich is irrelevant, except of course if Akin decides he wants to stay. But I expect it's above our L1 budget so we'll secure him if promoted. That would be logical.
League One and League Two clubs will be limited their squad size to 22 players for the 2020/21 season. This will be reduced to 21 and 20 in subsequent seasons (2021/22 and 2022/23 season respectively). Players aged under the age of 20 are exempt from these restrictions.

Nolan would be an excellent move if he became available. Was excellent for Shrewsbury

what the fuck are you on about? You asked what are we doing, it's the final 4 words of your post (I've bolded them to remind you of them) and I pointed out that we've signed players, and we will before the window closes.
So they've signed Morrell, we brought in Dobson and Clare into the midfield already.
I think I've said it on this thread and others, that we still need players, and I'm pretty sure we'll get them in.

We're in the 21/22 season mate. Changed the bold bit.
So there's little point in signing a million players when only 21 seniors can be in your squad. It's just a waste of money.

That is simply untrue. You can’t go stating something as fact when it isn’t.

No chance we would get anywhere near Norwood wages. He’s on silly money for league 1. Turned down championship clubs to sign for Ipswich

I make that we've got 17 already, including Dempsey and Davison who both count as senior players. Means we might need to shift out as well as the obvious requirement to bring players in unless we can grab U21 loans to fill slots.
The problem Cafc face with Steve Gallen is after the Nonsense with Matt Southall, is if as I'm sure he is working around the clock since last season finished how many possible deals can Steve set up under Thomas Sandgaard but they don't come to fruition because we are being out bid or a championship team comes in, or agents demand too much or a myriad of other insurmountable problems arise. Failing a medical at one club and then signing for another club a week later is quite common according to a football insider I have got to know in recent times; Terms may be altered with games played making up a bigger percentage in the add-ons.
The signing on fees can also scupper a deal if a player has options and the agent plays clubs against each other.
If Millwall or QPR did have a vacancy in the wacky world of football transfers let's hope Steve is on a top contract himself at Cafc.
We need a signing today to bring all the CL members together again. If you want something to worry about look at the UN climate report of yesterday, humanity is on red alert

Queue 3 signings today please!
