My main disappoint with him is that once the tribunal sets what we get for him (appearance/sell on fee etc), it will be Venkys that will use that to keep the lights on for a few months rather than it being used to benefit the team 

that happens with every transfer we`ve ever  made under venkys ,we did`nt see any money from rhodes,armstong,wharton,szmodics or any others we sold for big fees,they`ve barely kept the lights on either,the **** won`t even pay for a decent pitch,it`s so bad they won`t even pay for sky sports in blues bar,where has all the actual money gone????,they`ve received untold millions from player sales,the poor managers have received hardly anything

Good evening. I've just finished writing an article recommending a signing for each Championship club. Let me know what you think of the Blackburn suggestion.

I'm an Ipswich fan so most of the picks are from an outsiders' perspective, but seems like centre-back will be a position you'll look to strengthen in January?

Whilst we may well look for a centre back, if Luton want their money back on Mengi (or more), then he will be well outside of our price range, as are most things that are worth more than a half eaten mars bar these days 😉

I do think Mengi would be good signing, young player and knows the league. Also depending on the fee its another one where he comes here, does well and we sign him on. I have mentioned previously Mads Andersen before cos he knows Ismael from his Barnsley and he is at Luton also.

Regarding Cozier-Duberry, he was really poor for us last season. Championship full backs had him weighed up pretty quickly. Keep him facing down field, don’t let him turn with the ball and he’s out of the game.

agreed, His loan here was a year or 2 too soon. Ayari was here and hardly play now a regular at 18 months onwards

It's difficult to guess what his price might be. Go back eighteen months and it would've been 10m+ so way out of range for most Championship clubs - it'll be significantly less now though.

Cheers! Andersen has struggled since he left Barnsley, might work in the middle of a back three but I think his lack of pace would be exposed as an outside CB or even in a back four.

Yeah he wasn't great last year was he? That's quite often the case for first loans though, particularly with attacking players. From what I've seen of him at Bolton I'd be confident he could step up to the level this time. Even if Brighton decide to keep him where he is for now, he'll get another loan to a Championship promotion contender next season.

I like the way we are set up now. It’s a coherent way of playing that suits our playing staff.  If we can ever get this team on the pitch we’ll be looking good for the play-offs. Problem is - we can’t.

I’d honestly be surprised if we went for a centre back. Wharton can’t be far off a return, maybe Carter too. Then you have the three young lads - Acheson, Pratt and Litherland all knocking on the door. In the unlikely event that we do bring somebody  in it’ll probably be O’Riordan back from his loan at Donny.
