    Can we draw a line in the sand around this Towell business?

    Mick McCarthy raved about him when he played for the under 21s at Ipswich last year so can see this happening unfortunately.

    Mick isn't really the "raving" type!

    "That lad Lookman from Charlton, he did alright tonight" is probably as enthusiastic as he'd get

    Lookman is a talent but he's nothing more than that at the moment.

    A Championship club cannot justify spending more than a few hundred thousand on an 18 year old.

    If Lookman goes, it'll be to a Premier League team or recently relegated such as Newcastle or Villa where £2m or so is a drop in the ocean.

    That kind of depends how much our battle hardened business negotiators ask for him.

    Katrien likes to open bidding at 7 quid. 7 is her lucky number.

    Well it seems unlikely to me that Ipswich could buy him. I think RD wants something close to £3 - 4 million for Lookman so on that basis it's not on. If he goes for something that Ipswich can afford then frankly that will be it for me until RD pisses off.

    I have no doubt he would accept far less than that if there was a cash offer. 1.5 at a push

    I have heard our new signing is Egyptian (cotton)

    I heard there was a Moroccan coming in. As well as a Belgian and three players on loan from Bournemouth.

    I'm sure if they don't have the money, Katrien could haggle a bit and accept a 35 year old midfielder and a tractor plough in exchange.

    I was fortunate enough to play golf with McCarthy in May and he confirmed he is very impressed by Lookman and also THD. "Lookman is a bit raw and not ready for the premiership yet but he's a good player."

    He also said his owner wouldn't open his wallet for that type of player...he barely spends a penny on purchases

    It's a good job we sell for pennies then. Or just give them away in Henderson and Morrison's case.

    Isn't his owner under investigation for selling Olympic tickets above face value?

    Until you realise the "rumour" came from one of "those" Twitter accounts.

    Played with him at Pompey, probably just acknowledging an old mates performance. With that said, he'd be a welcomed addition

    It's a bit quiet on the rumours seeing as we're looking to bring two more mdfielders in.
