Ipswich have re-signed George Hirst, hopefully opens up Ladapo for a move away
I think they’d need to sign at least 1 more striker to let him go. They had Hirst last season so haven’t really gained an extra striker to free up Ladapo
At our current level, and May being a relatively big signing in the scheme of things for L1, hopefully it may persuade a few potential signings that we mean business and are worth the punt, who otherwise might have been dithering
It is good we have done some deals but the situation has to complicate things. I would expect it all to free up a bit when the takeover is ratified by the EFL which it seems is close.

This is part of the paradox. We need "statement signings" to show we mean business but we need to show we mean business to make statement signings, who otherwise have plenty of other options.
May having a particular affinity for Charlton will have helped but we need more of our signings to be Alfie May than Lloyd Jones going forward (with no disrespect to Jones.)
Oh Jack Hunt. Oh Jack Hunt. Oh Jack Hunt he has some front. To pip Chris Solly for the right back position in the League 1 team of the year in 2011/12, when everyone could see that Solly was the standout performer in that position. Oh Jack Hunt he has some front.
I'd expect any free agents we've been talking to to be wanting to get deals done in the next week or so. Wonder if we might get a " Marquee" signing to coincide with the Takeover announcement if it comes next week.
I'd have thought any "imminent" signing free agents would have wanted to sign before the Spain trip. A great chance to bond with your new team mates and train abroad.
I'm sure they've identified and spoken to targets without the need for Holden to be in the country.
For sure, but surely Holden would want to meet and speak to potential signings ahead of actually signing them and he strikes me as an in person kind of guy.

Cambridge obviously don't know what they're doing. Cousins has only signed a one year contract. What sort of football club signs players on one year contracts? I've never heard of such a thing.
Don't know much about him. But his career stats look absolutely woeful
Attacking midfielder that’s done well for Cambridge last 2 seasons and only 24. Good signing for them
Yeah I thought it was a good move , probably not someone that would fit how Holden wants to setup but I know he was mentioned by people on this thread as a potential player to look at.
The May signing implies we’re in a better place with more ambition than this time last year and hopefully is the tip of the iceberg and there is more to come.
I have such mediocre knowledge of the lower leagues so I don’t have a clue who is out there with the potential, but I like the fact we’ve been linked with the Blackburn and Coventry full backs as they were both Championship players last season.
There’s a lot of work to be done, and I know we’ve got until the end of August to get everyone in, but I would hope for at least 3 more between now and the start of the season. Especially if we’re going 3/5/2 - CBT at wb just feels wrong

Proper shit.
Left back in non league.
Cambridge sign Jordan Cousins.

We’re obviously short up top now as well
Oh well, Wigan it is then...
He's only 29 too
Pretty standard to be honest, average Championship player ends up in L1 in his late 20s.
It's hardly Champions League to non-league or anything.
