    Anyone saying we won’t get relegated, if we lose tomorrow and a whole host of teams on 30 nick draws we could be right in the mire!

    I don’t see the point of a loan. No matter what run we go on, we are not catching play offs. Now is the time to build for next season, so any new loans is against that plan of action.  
    Will only have 12 months left on his contract. Clearly not wanted by Ipswich in the Championship so if he plays well and enjoys it maybe we can get a perm deal done in the summer

    I'm surprised we have offered a new contract to TC. He may prove me wrong as he is still very young but I don't see much to suggest he is better than League 2 
    Huge ability and potential as we saw early in the season.

    Has had a poor couple of months but the whole team has been poor and he's a teenager.  Been in and put of the side and playing on the wrong side to accommodate CBT on the left.

    Has pace, can cross, works hard and chips in with a few goals including the long range thunderbolt against, was it Reading?

    In a settled side and with a target man to hit he will thrive IMHO and at a level above league 1 
    Logic, reason and evidence has no place on this thread! :)


  • Why not get Taylor in to partner him and go the whole hog...🙄

    He is the type of player we want; they may have someone better/younger lined up in the summer, but they are getting someone similar so that we can work on playing this way. Does the job in the short term or covers Leaburn/Chucks and plugs a gap.

    We need to get away from the relegation battle we are falling into now with one eye on the summer. Sensible approach. 

    You never know. It might even be with a view to signing in the summer anyway and this is almost a try before you buy.

    Wouldn't be too surprised if Ladapo was loan with a view to making it permanent in the summer if he impresses , if Ipswich do get promoted he'll be nowhere near their squad and probably one of the first names out.

    That is a bit of a downer, unless we have a clause to buy and first choice. 

    Otherwise we are competing again with other clubs for his signature if he does well..

    Would have much preferred Uche to be a loan and Ladapo permanent.

    If Ladapo is a success being loaned then there is every chance that we could sign him permanently in the summer. Obvious now that Ipswich are planning for life without him and I suspect it’s us that would prefer a loan at this point due to money and having an extended look at him. There’s more than one way to skin a cat.

    Does that sound like maybe it could be on a permanent?

    Loan with a view to perm is the dream scenario

    I think Ladapo would look lovely with a perm.

    I hope this ends our Ipswich curse, we used to do really well with our business with them, recently it's been dud central. 

    Come on Ladapo break the streak

    Would imagine once these deals are done the next week will be quiet on incomings. Really need to shift some bodies out

    If CBT does go I still think it’s worth at least taking Ronan Curtis on trial

    Strange as people were happy for JCH to come in on loan.

    Don’t say break! Our treatment room is already full.

    Think maybe they plan to go back in for JCH in the summer, hence a loan.

    Smoke coming from the Ipswich end now too.

    Safe to say there is a Ladapo fire..?


  • I am personally pleased with this window, seems a real shift in strategy and the owners are putting their money where their mouth is. My only issue is a really don't think Appleton is the man to take us forward, even with a host of new, better quality players.
    I think he’s now on trial as much as anyone else. I’m sure he’ll be given next season but I think he’ll be expected to deliver top six at least pretty much from the first game. If we’re still looking not like promotion contenders then he’ll be gone in November.

    What backing him does do is prove either way if he's the right man or not. If he isn't then let him go and we have a better squad for the next manager to take over

    Then a loan perfect for us to have a look at him with next year in mind
