Ipswich signing centre back Cameron Burgess from Accrington, according to Accrington manager Coleman.
Probably helps them fend off bids for Dion Charles for another few months
That’s a really good signing. Statistically he was one of the best CB’s in League One last season. Burgess & Edmundson should be a very good partnership at this level.
But still it’s hard to sign good players in this window 🙄

I didn’t say they were?!… I said they should be very good. As are our two and the Wendies pair too.
Anyone still think Gunter is a good option at LB? Desperately need a natural left footer in there
I don’t think many people have said he is a good option. People have said he is a suitable short term solution until a loan comes in and purrington is fit
Out of interest just when does the transfer window close ?
I've seen in be 11pm on 31st August (as that is when the PL and most of Europe closes), but then I've seen it being 2nd Sept for EFL clubs. @Airman Brown in VOTV said 31st August........but I'm not so sure.

I think it was Adkins who said he is a good option. I am a bit worried that he was being serious.

I think he was being serious when faced with choices he has at this moment in time, until purrington is fit, or an alternative is miraculously found, which is very much needed in the long term anyway.
He’s not good enough and that is ultimately the crux of the matter.
Based on what period of evaluation? Do you seriously suggest Avory is prone to supporting such a basic version of alleged nepotism? Perhaps we should revisit Barker whose dad used to work for the club?
Are you suggesting that is how the Academy works?
I’m suggesting he’s not good enough, bottom line.
Doesn’t matter about other players, Barker has been around the club for a while and was important to the U18s success last season, he’s proved himself around the club. We have/had young players better than Roddy and to many it looks like he’s been fast tracked to the first team.
I am not saying anything against the academy or Avory, you mentioned him, not me. My point is Roddy is not good enough whether he is 18 or 23, his age is irrelevant, he shouldn’t be near the first team set up right now.
Not really irrelevant though. A player at 18 has plenty of time to improve, but if he was with us and not good enough at 23, then questions would be asked. He didn't even play that badly in the cup game anyway.
A lot of hysteria over this though, he's clearly only been thrown into the squad because we're lacking in that area. That's the clubs fault, not his. He'd probably be the first to admit he's not ready for senior football at this level yet. With or without Purrington we still needed a left back and here we are over 3 months since the end of last season and we still don't have one.
One goalless draw, 2 defeats & zero goals from open play.
It's not been the start we wanted but that's not suprising with so few signings and absolutely nothing on the bench to change/influence a game.
The club will be fully aware that we need a CAM, LB, ST, CB & another winger. With two tough games coming up against MK Dons & Wigan, let's hope they bring them in sooner rather than later so we don't fall too far away before we have a squad capable of competing & winning games.
We have no Astrit, Reid, Murphy, Aribo, Jensen-type player. The kind who can bring you into a game by putting his foot on the ball. We need to sign one desperately.
Think window is going very similar to the January window.
The fans can clearly see where we need players in, the management and recruitment team are the only ones that don't.
Everyone knew we needed a CB in that window, just like everyone knows we need a LB, AM, ST and 3 others in this one.
What we need and what Tommy is prepared to pay for now seem to be widely apart. Adkins gone by Xmas?
I dont understand this. We have paid fees for 2 players. We were set to sign the player from wigan but he failed a medical, he would not have come cheap in terms of wages and a signing on fee. Famewo might only be a loan but most premier league teams charge loan fee’s? We’ve already agreed a fee to make the deal permanent.
without fully understand what Tommy has paid and what else we have lined up, makes this comment ridiculous

This is the missing piece of the puzzle for me . The midfield is all a bit samey at the moment , that creative spark that will open up a side is key.

Stockley, Clare, DJ, Kirk and Schwartz must be close to 1.5m in transfer fees in 2021. I bet there's not many league one clubs who have spent more in that time.

The signing on fee is not the whole equation. Wednesday have had a transfer embargo but had signed 12 non-fee players on top money and have more to come according to reports. As a club that appeared to be pot-less only a few months ago, it begs the question, where is the money coming from. Surely they must be risking administration if they don't go up.
Just over 2 weeks of the window left. We need 5-6 players. In our recruitment staff we trust ? Well , actually, no.
I think we maybe need one more than that to get ourselves in the position we need to be:
Striker to compete with Stockley Morgan replacement (Morgan becomes squad player) Clare replacement (Clare becomes squad player) New left back Additional centre back option Reserve keeper to put pressure on the new bloke
Potentially also be nice to get squad options to compete with DJ….
So 6-7…. We have been told to be patient and they will come. Guess we will find out in the next two weeks.

I meant this season, not realising that Clare cost a transfer fee. But your list does aid my point, Tommy has spent money on the squad and for other posters to question Tommy’s outlay is pathetic. We could always ask southall to come back with his supa dupa phone

Strange ain't it, when things don't go just so, blame the manager, he is just an east target and it seems first in line for any abuse, but this goes a lot deeper than Nige, he wants it as much as the next man but can only work with the tools at his disposal, so recruitment team, step up and try to give him something to work with if possible, I know we are only 2 games in but we can't slip too far behind.

I think I read their fans saying their owner had a temporary embargo on taking money out of his home country (Thailand maybe?), but that has now been lifted so they are rich again. May be wrong.

No manager would be with this squad, we all know we need at least 4/5 signings.
