Sulberto21 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I wouldn't mind us signing Luke Woolfenden from Ipswich. CB could definitely make the step up. Plus he has the same birthday as me although I'm some 17 years older. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another shout is Sead Haksabanovic from IFK Norrköping in the Swedish league, was bought by West Ham as a teenager but couldnt quite make it there, went home started again and ripped our league to bits. Winger/wide forward. Will make it big. What happened to that guy mentioned a while back, Sema? Think he went to Watford but haven't seen his name in their squad.

Reckon he might be a decent Championship player but I don't know if he could shake the loser mentality Lambert has instilled in that club. It seems so grim there I think any players transferring out would need time to get their love of football back and shake the Lambert weirdness. I feel bad for Ipswich fans. They have been on a similar journey as us with ownership and a string of truly awful managerial decisions.

I see where you are coming from, but I've not really had much time for Ipswich fans since 1981. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been on a similar journey as us with ownership and a string of truly awful managerial decisions. Yet here we are, in the premier league and there they are in league 1. I agree, weve made some bad decisions, mainly player recruitment. But, I don't think the managers ( Bruce and Smith) have performed anywhere near as bad some like to make out otherwise we probably would be league 1. Ask Ipswich fans if they think they've been on a similar journey, and they would point to current positions and tell us we've had it good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Ipswich also had a competent Championship manager until the fans hounded him out for excitement. Our exciting football got us to the Premier League. They are in League 1 with Paul Lambert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair many good players come from these types of leagues. We just happen to buy crap players.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had no idea when to shoot or pass though. Have to say Buendia is a very clever player. Not just the goal but can hang onto the ball and knows when to pass it short or long. On our budget and being back down in the championship he's probably the closest we'll be able to find in the style of Grealish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering we were linked a bit in the summer I can see us going back for Harry Wilson. Reminds me of when Tammy Abraham went back into the championship with us after struggling at Swansea. He scored a couple at start of season for Bournemouth but struggled since and he certainly isn't going to breakthrough at Liverpool anytime soon. Still did well at Derby last year and can see us getting him on loan with an option to buy for 15-20m if we go up. Still young and can play out wide or upfront. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'd have to survive to be able to sign him, he will get offers from PL clubs and he won't come cheap. You get what you pay for though and he's the sort of player, that I would like to see us go for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grobs Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Whoever we sign I just hope they have some pace, it’s painful watching a team with absolutely 0 threat on the break 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomvilla7 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Todd Cantwell I would definitely take from Norwich, and maybe the two full backs Max Aarons and Jamal Lewis. Buendia is quality but I don't think we will get him unless we stay up. Prob wouldn't take anyone else from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Jamal Lewis has been linked to Liverpool given they lack cover for Robertson. Had a pretty poor game v Sarr. Tbf if Heaton dosen't want to stay I'd happily have Krul as our number one next season. Edited July 7, 2020 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
