do you not think it would have been agree by now if it has £8m release clause?

I don't expect Sammie Szmodics to down tools and kick off, Yes he would take a move to PL club if its happens but as he said during the podcast with Big Sam, he is happy to stay. Also Its down to Ipswich to offer what we want and a deal that's suit us meaning we can invest some of the money on a couple of signings. We need to have deadline when talks should end and he stays here

JRC is a goal threat and playing in the role Eustace has in pre season is a smart move but surprising move. No way Would I be moving Brittain. He will thrive playing the role Eustace wants him to play

So, Its prediction time and who do we think will win the Premier League, Championship, League 1 and League 2? My prediction:- Premier League - Man City Championship - Luton Town league 1 - Rotherham United League 2 - Port Vale

No way would I put JRC there. He is more of threat further forward and I hoping he can stay fit for most of the season and get into double figures for goals Duru for me Markanday I would loan out to loan to a league 1 club, He needs regular first team football now.

That's a fair point but this was before we signed the 3 players we have who add us that experience. For me, we don't need a right back as I think Duru is ready for playing back up role to Brittain. left back is more of issue for me. I think one winger is enough if Sigurdsson stays. Not convince he will be here by the end of the window.

Totally agree. What we should be doing is getting him to sign a new 4 year contract and be a key player for us. No I gave an opinion that Eustace will know more about Ruddy and whether he still has it given he was his head coach last season. That's all I did. Yes I would have taken Begovic given he played all games last season for QPR. I think De Lange meet the type of keeper we both want in terms of playing well in a good standard of league like the Dutch league, good age as you say and can be our number 1 for a few seasons. Its looks like we are close to agreeing a fee for him. Then its just 3 more signings in left back, left winger with pace and centre midfielder? You agree?

Dolan or Weimann would be ideal man to play that pressing number 10 role. More transfer targets very true, from what you and others have said, totally not sure why a Spanish team would sign him. Eustace as said he wants a Centre midfielder signing before the window I expect a couple of loans but the keeper signing looks like a permanent signing. Do you have opinion on either keeper we have been linked to yesterday? Given what we know would you be happy with either?

Ipswich needs to pay the asking price we want. Do that and the player is yours, Then we then to sign a replacement.. Great to hear. Look forward to seeing them both on Friday

Balance argument and that saying Eustace knows him better then we do. My opinion is us having number 1 for few years not just for 12 months

We want a new keeper not 2. Ruddy is still wanted but we are looking at other options like 2 Dutch keepers

Or maybe has a better judgement then yourself on Ruddy given he worked with last season so might just know more than us. Just for record, I don't want Ruddy but want experience keeper but can be number 1 here for 2 or 3 years.

Or Eustace just has different opinion/judgement to yourself on Ruddy You go for ability. I know nothing about both apart from I've seen on clips on YouTube

he played his first season but last 2 season been number 2 and he wants to be first choice now.

did I say it would? Eustace clearly wants Ruddy which I said I think wouldn't do that transfer. I'm more in favour of bringing in 1 of those 2 keepers who we were linked today or someone like that. We seems to be looking into Europe for players and I am pleased by that.

Possible council taxes rises coming and working out what it might be and how it would affect me and my missus

exactly and he is playing in the Dutch top division. Looking at permanent signing is the right division and someone who will improve is I agree totally. I wonder if he has release clause? Cos Eustace wants Ruddy. I agree and looking at these 2 keepers to bring in 1 is the right way to go.

no idea

Dutch keeper Jeffrey de Lange at Go Ahead Eagles. De Lange, 26, may cost £2 million and is emerging as the leading contender although fellow countryman Joel Drommel at PSV Eindhoven has also been considered.

ok Of course, Rovers come first.

If we want that pressing number 10 like we had with Szmodics then Dolan sees the ideal man for that role Most likely tomorrow or Sunday He had 3 chances so far but without seeing them I don't know how good of a chance they were. Hopefully we see some good highlights of the game by Stockport or Rovers.
