    unfortunately, I think that puts us well out

    Definitely feel like Carey was announced to soften the Thierry Small blow, wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more in the pipeline
    Most definitely, as 'he will join when his contract expires' at Blackpool.
    Rubbish …. 
    You are obviously the ITK person in existence Colin, first with the news Sonny has changed his mind and isn't joining now.

    Would expect Phil Chapple’s scouting dept. to beyond ex-players 
    Agreed.  As much as I liked the team at the time, the likes of Stuart Balmer, Paul Sturgess and Bradley Allen are all likely to struggle to make an impact

    This  misunderstanding came about as Nathan Jones was overheard to say he wanted a Fox in the box type of player to push 'Godden again'.
    Jesus .  I’d rather have Purrington back

    Just out of interest, has there been longstanding rumours about this new fella Sonny joining, or has this one come out of nowhere?

    You would rather have a bang average league one player just released by Exeter over a bang average championship player just released by QPR?

    Thank you, will be interesting to see how many other signings this summer come out of nowhere, I like that strategy.

    Do we have the cash to splash on the players we desire, Galbraith etc etc ? .. we're probably shopping in Tesco not Fortnums  nor Harrods .. still good stuff in Tesco if you shop around

    Morgan Fox .. I'd like him back .. never looked comfy at left back i m o, more of a central defender. Issue is, would be 'demand' 1st team football ?

    Few comments about Gillesphey .. few say he lacks pace .. Harry Maguire lacks pace, I rate Maguire. Being in the right place at the right time outweighs pace for me .. different era .. recall Bobby Moore

    So recent rumours... Famewo, Djiksteel, Fox.

    I am glad our signings are likely to come out of nowhere this season.

    Given our recent record of an Ipswich signing each year, our interest in Scottish players, and our need for another keeper then I wonder if we had scouts watching Cieran Slicker last night.

    I imagine all our signings will pretty much "come out of no where" - The club certainly don't allow any leaks these days

    Dont remember many from last season for example that we knew beforehand, Ahadme and Edwards maybe?

    We can't buy a player for 1.75m surely we have the means can't be that grim a budget.

    Be surprised if we spend that much in total. Reckon it’ll be predominantly frees and a couple hundred grand here and there if we can get a good deal on a player

    Berry was going around for weeks beforehand other than that I think it's just Edwards and Ahadme from last season's batch.

    That's pathetic then tbh have owners with the equivalent of 5000 million I just read but can't have a transfer budget of 5-10 million which is pretty much peanuts and standard in this division after promotion TV deals season ticket increases kit deals, of course it's all speculation and they might make a go of it but it depends how serious they are in improving and staying In this division if we follow the cheapskate route it will be torturous season ahead and we have already done the get rid of our exciting players start to business which we usually do.

    I thought I read some time ago that our owners don’t really have that much money, or their money is tied up in some way and not available to chuck around.
    Thats why a no transfer fee signing, and getting an earner off the books makes sense.
    I wonder if there is extra wages attached to the Nathan Jones extended contract, or if the extension was the attractive bit for Jones, not a wage increase.

    I think if the right player came along then we might be surprised to see how much the club would be willing to spend. Jones and Chapple are well aware of what’s required at Championship level and what the “exceptional” player is going to cost. Having said that those players are in high demand and the competition will have in many cases much more money. It’s not the fee that will necessarily stump us but competing in wages. In any case I think Jones and Chapple have their list and in many cases it’s going to be way below our radar.

    Probably not, we never seem to announce signings on the weekend.

    Probably not.  Neither though, thanks

    I wouldn’t rule out us paying £1m+ for the right player. We must have spent around that on fees in L1, and we get about £11m in TV money compared to around £2m in L1.

    I think there's definitely money to spend for the right players but I expect NJ and Chapple to be quite particular about anyone that comes in for a significant fee 

    If Galbraith is available at £1.75m for example I could see that happening. Was Igor really our last £2m+ signing?

    Would Dijksteel fit in on the right hand side? 
    Yes he was always quite good going forward, I recall he was involved in the build up to Purrington's goal at Wembley. Now Small has gone, given Djiksteel is available on a free would be good to see him come back in. Think he and Ramsay could compliment each other quite well.
    I think Dijksteels best position in our formation would be the one Ramsay is playing. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t sign him though, as he can cover Ramsay and whoever we sign as a RWB

    Djiksteel would be a very solid pickup. Could also cover Coventry at CDM too if needed as well as RWB/RCB. I guess the only thing with him would be wages.

    Based on what? We spent more than that in league one, suddenly the owners are going to spend LESS in the division above?
