If we don’t sign a striker we are in big trouble, particularly with this clown in charge
Don’t think we are , Aneke back in a couple of weeks and why sign a young unknown striker when we have Kanu … give him a run with May till Aneke comes back
Methven’s podcast out today, talks about the January window.
Worth a listen this, he mentions we put in a significant bid for Nelson abbey . Atleast we’re going for the right players even if we’ve only got a couple over the line so far .
He also mentions phoning reading about other players and other teams knowing we’re desperate for a number 9.
Not listened to the podcast but is Methvan saying he personally rang Reading or that the club did?

I’m sure we will sign someone but prepare to be underwhelmed.
Underwhelmed?
Like some people were when we signed the day we signed Yann Kermorgant? I didn't actually mention @AFKABartram did I?
Good grief, when @Oggy Red turns against you, you know things are bad! :-)
Ive just re-read the thread Oggster, and you’ll find that after stating ‘he sounds like a Jewish Festival’ I quite clearly type the words in my next post ‘he will probably turn out a genius’.

Ah yes, because that has worked so well for the last 2 months

The club have, he said his job at the club is to manage FFP.

It’s only good if we can replace him, if we don’t get a replacement we’re in even bigger trouble.
This.
If you dont believe it just look at our right hand side. JRS was outstanding last year & kept us out of danger. He went back to Palace & we haven't replaced him. Upshot is.......we regularly play our top goalscorer out there. Or Leaburn (now injured) or Tedic.(hone back). Because of this we are now playing an out of form Campbell.
It's obvious that we're after a certain profile of striker to fill a hole in the absence of Leaburn and Chuks so with that in mind...
On my lunch break, here's a list of 61 strikers playing in the top four divisions of England or Scottish Premiership that are 6ft or taller between ages 21 and 30 and I think might be interested in playing for CAFC either permanently or on loan. They are in height order (tallest first).
The majority of these won't be good enough which is why they're available, & I didn't check if they're currently injured or recently moved clubs in this window already but anyway... have fun!

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've not seen anyone say Ladapo is the next messiah. Why do people have to exaggerate?
Perhaps messiah is a little strong but I’m just wondering what people know about him and why they think he’s the one we should be going for.

Most are out injured as well, our treatment room must be like downtown Gaza, Daniel Udoh is out with a bollock strain, Admiral Butterworth went down with his ship!

because may and kanu r both finishers, who need a physical partner and aneke will be injured a few weeks after he comes back - we won't win until we solve this problem
It’s got to be Knibbs and Smith right. Could a deal be done with reading for the two of them? Doesn't sit right with me but if we don’t have them they will go to other clubs anyway

Could you narrow it down to players who can also play on the wing?
We were looking at the guy Reading sold to Luton today but we presumably can't compete on wages. But once again, a player nobody had heard of a few weeks ago that we were in for. I believe Martin's magic box has been destroyed in favour of an upgraded one.
wrong thread maybe but only just noticed we are 19 points off the play offs. NINETEEN. That is abysmal in any language, and this in a season where Andy Scott said anything less than the play offs was unacceptable.
This shows why all the talk on here of binning off JCH was wrong.
If some people had had their way the club would have told JCH and his agent to feck off and we would have burnt another bridge.
It still might not happen, probably won't, but we still gave that option.
He's basically binned us off already...but let's see eh...🤷♂️
Has he?
What has he said or done to suggest that?
iirc Henry, and I stand ready to be corrected, there have been posts on here saying that he has refused our offers, and the Boro chairman has been reported as saying that we would be the best club for him, but he is not interested it seems, now,...I may be wrong, wouldn't be the first time, and as I said, lets see where it all ends up...but the clock is running down. 🤷♂️

Ive just re-read the thread Oggster, and you’ll find that after stating ‘he sounds like a Jewish Festival’ I quite clearly type the words in my next post ‘he will probably turn out a genius’.
And what a prediction that was.
