Yeah first thing I thought across both games, his shots a bit weak and he's not overly accurate.

I've seen the Stockport thread, seems a few have mentioned it. You do wonder though if he's more pissed at how he's being treated whilst here? He's been training on his own for some time based on Eustace's comments, yet he's started today and come on in the season curtain raiser, wouldn't expect he'd play any part at all if there'd been a falling out from either side - which begs the question who's told him to train on his own?

He looked pissed off most of the time during most games last season, flapping his arms up and down and pulling his face. Seems that's just Sammie.

At a quick glance, decent pedigree.

Do any of them fill you with confidence? Cos they don't for me.

So is that 5 players + replacements if both of those players leave? I.e. 7 in total?

So the previous plan that was planned, is once again our plan?

I'd blocked that out of my memory...

One of the areas that needed some money spent on it was the keeper. So if this is true it's not before time, but it's something. Here's to hoping he's a Kaminski and not Whalstedt.

It appears Nixon's retweeted one of his own posts from June 27th which said "Charlton after gk...Blackburn also interested" His retweet has the additional comment "struggling to agree terms". So it's a bit ambiguous and he likely could've selected a different related tweet that didn't mention Rovers. But it lines up to being about Begovic and Charlton struggling to agree.

Have we just gone back in time a few weeks and I've missed it? To be fair with the players we've lost (and will still likely leave), that's about right.

I'm sure someone on here and on this thread 2 or so months ago mentioned Drommel. It was such a left field call that people were mixing them up with 'Drameh' from Hull. Fair play to whoever called that.

Mcloughlin I think. Haven't seen him move anywhere else. Don't think having both Batth and Fadz is wise. I think Wharton might be able to turn quicker than either with only one leg.

Looks like he knows where the back of the net is.

Bang on, let's not pretend this Mafoumbi is for the first team. This board was almost unanimous in that opinion when his name (and age) came up, so no re-writing history. Its 2 in for the 2 leaving.

If Gally and Szmodics both go. We'd need 9 minimum.

Bloxham has been a bit lively, he's at least tried to be positive going forward.

So you're not able to link the first part of my post with the second? Considering you've named 2 players aged 21 and a 19 year old.....

Because Armstrong was much younger than Szmodics. All Clubs are now being extremely careful where their money goes and very few in the Ipswich mould are going to spend around £12m on an unproven 28 year old.

Would he be the first Japanese player to play for us?

Looks like he can play on the left, right and in the hole. Probably more in the hole than anywhere.

Are you comfortable with that considering last season's showing?

Won't begrudge you that pleasure. Although i'll be reserving my celebrations for Venkys departure.

Have we signed Liam Coopers ears yet?

In some way, I'm hoping that when we do sell Szmodics or anyone else, they go for a real derisory fee. Any decent amount will be swallowed up by the owners and keep the circus going for longer. If they've nothing to sell and no way to pay for things, you'd hope they'll have no choice but to piss off.
