Chatting to Chuks Saturday - he said he’s 2 or 3 weeks away
2 or 3 weeks away from training, which means end of February surely.
When interviewed earlier this month, Appleton said Chuks may be available around the end of January, so I would take it as 2 to 3 weeks from possibly making an appearance on the subs bench.
I think it went under the radar a bit, but in the same interview it sounded like Camara might be available sooner than we were expecting too and probably won't miss the whole season after all.
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'd rather that we take the relatively "safe" option of a loan for the rest of the season rather than overpay for someone just so we can say that we've made a permanent signing (a la Griggs at Sunderland.)
That said there's still enough time that potentially someone in the mould of Ladapo does become available so hopefully there's more irons in the fire still.

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?

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.
Anyone else just enjoying the fact we are in for players for decent fees and decent wages and planning already for next season? Despite missing out on one potentially two, it’s refreshing.
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 😃.

Look at the league table..... look at the form...... look at the games to come.
Where is the logic that says we will go from not being able to scrounge a point to winning multiple games.
We are bang in trouble IF we dont significantly improve.

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.
Need to keep the dog happy.
