    All this talk of Ladapo being the next Messiah and yet the Ipswich fans are offering to drive him over.
    They seem to rate him like we did Kirk 
    I’m not a font of knowledge on players, but could anyone explain why our fans seem so desperate to get him.
    it was the same in August 
    I guess scoring 17 league goals last year , many of them from the bench, showing your ability to be a motivated and useful squad player who can come on and effect a game positively is just not good enough for some people.

    I've not seen anyone say Ladapo is the next messiah.
    Why do people have to exaggerate?

    If we don’t sign a striker we are in big trouble, particularly with this clown in charge

    We're in trouble regardless, but Alfie dries up on goals or gets injured then we could be seeing division four football next season.

    I’m sure we will sign someone but prepare to be underwhelmed.

    He's a big guy, still got a few years left, scores roughly 1 in 3 at this level. Maybe not the messiah but seems to tick a lot of boxes IMO.
  • Find it baffling that a young kid would rather play for Oxford rather than the chance to live in London. Maybe that's just due to where I live.

    Having listened to tens of Undr the Cosh podcasts I think this is common misconception us Londoners have. If anything it can count against us with non south eastern english players (conversely likely a big pull for overseas players).

    Players have got to be happy mentally to perform at their potential otherwise you end up with a squad of Charlie Kirks and Marcus Maddison's.

    Holmes to Luton and Stockton to Barrow. Shows how reasonable/unreasonable our transfer rumours have been. One completely out of our league and the other a one season wonder who would have stunk the place out.
    To be fair, we signed a player from Premier league West Ham for a transfer fee, it isn't always as simple as you've posted or I've just posted there.

    Holmes isn't out of our league as he's still going to be featuring in it, it's just premier league money taking a punt. I don't expect Luton think he's ready for their team yet, it's just an opportunity has popped up and they've taken advantage of it.

    Stockton being a one season wonder is a bit of a myth if you look at his Morecambe record. Just appears to be a player who prefers to play his football further North of the country, Barrow have done really well to secure him on loan. I'll be intrigued to see how he gets on, League 2 looking very competitive.

    We've got a chance if Ipswich get Kieffer Moore on loan or another player.

    If CBT goes we are going to need much more than a journeyman/inexperienced striker loan/perm up front to keep any attacking threat.

    Chatting to Chuks Saturday - he said he’s 2 or 3 weeks away 
    How is he dealing with all these injuries, must be so demoralising for him. Has he turned to crack cocaine yet?

    I miss the bitesized, tailored down thread for when I only have 5 mins on the train 😅
    You should get the bus then. This afternoon I spent over an hour on a bus due to diversions, traffic, change of driver 🙄 and the fact bus stops seem to be about 200 yards apart 😞.  Plenty of time to read CL 😃.

    CM on that podcast mentions we need 6 players. 

    Also calls himself “Co-Owner” (which he is) but I know some are going to have a complete meltdown over for some odd reason.

    Bournemouth have received loan offers from Sunderland and Ipswich Town for Kieffer Moore but are yet to reach an agreement for the striker

    This would release Ladapo 
    Why would Ladapo want to leave a club close to promotion to the Premier League for one struggling in League 1 ?

    And I'm sure we'd have to tempt him with more than what we're offering JCH. 

    Might get him on loan......although I still dont think he is the "hold up" player we need.

    When do we get a ghastly loan forward in who hasn't played since 2021 but used to be pretty damn decent (and fit) before then?

    😂 This club 
  • Good luck to Goodwin, they have a very good team of youth and experience, I hope the kad does well,  but we missed out, especially after wasting time on the P/boro lad!
