    Ipswich have a nice set of fixtures at the start of the season playing Morecombe, Cheltenham & Wimbledon in Aug.

    Our starting fixtures look comparatively tougher against Sheff Weds, Wigan & Oxford etc

    ...even more reason why we could do with not waiting till deadline day to fill most of our remaining squad gaps (but I get that the game of transfer poker makes that hard for Gallen to achieve without overpaying).

    Although it's hard to judge alot from friendlies, Ipswich lost to palace 1-0 on Sat. Be interesting to see how we get on against Palace on Tues as a bit of a benchmark.
    It’s hard to benchmark the palace game with Ipswich’s because this is palace’s cup final and they will be up for it 🤭

    Rangers forum is saying that Edmundson has left and signed a 3 year deal with an as yet unknown club 
    Doubt it's us , only giving out 2 year deals these days 
    Apart from Stockley, Schwartz and DJ you mean.
    Talking about the last couple signings 
    Those three are recent enough to show we’ll give some players longer deals.
    Actually, 2 was last season so shouldn't be counted this window 
    Obviously they came in last season, are you saying you believe we won’t hand out any more 3 year contracts from now on? For what reason?

    Yes, he asked for an extension from the 5pm deadline because the Club seem to like making late announcements. No one wants to be on the red list!

    Why is everything so absolute?

    Saying Cook or Cowley are good managers doesn't mean you think we don't have a good manager.

    Saying Ipswich have done good, early, business doesn't mean you think we haven't good business or won't do any more.
    Your'e absolutely right, people just like to draw comparisons, and some have glasses constantly half empty, that's the nature of the beast, but yes nothing is finite.

    Didn't say that did I , just seems to be what's happening with the last 2 signings

    2 signings is not a big enough sample size to be making the statement "Doubt it's us, giving out 2 year deals these days"

    I think 2 year deals are fine btw. This season, they're expected to get us promotion, next season we can assess whether or not to extend their deals/give new contracts.

    Can I shock you? I wasn’t making a serious point. Just tickled by someone making a grammatical mistake on the word ‘intelligent’, mate.

    I know, I was just commenting on that part as I know some posters are concerned that 2 year deals aren't long enough.

    Back to the rumours do we have anyone ITK with any knowledge of a dramatic player/kit reveal meal deal combo?

    It seems like it'd be right up Sandgaard's street.

    Imagine the uproar if the kit reveal was the new kit modelled by Lyle Taylor - with the hashtag #WelcomeHome. I'm just being silly btw, not ITK.

    Paul Cook is an excellent manager and would be surprised if Ipswich fail to get promoted this coming season. They’ve done some excellent business, albeit spending a lot of money. But Cook is proven and knows how to win a league and if it wasn’t for administration, would’ve kept Wigan up the other year.
    I don’t get all this blowing smoke up Paul Cook’s Neil Harris. Adkins has won this league and the league above more times than he has. Cook’s win % at Ipswich so far is 25%, Adkins at Charlton is 50%. We’ll be finishing above Ipswich again this season, despite the world class players they’ve signed from MK Dons and AFC Wimbledon!
    Both are excellent managers, but it's worth noting that Adkins hasn't achieved any promotions since 2011/12, whereas Cook has achieved his 3 promotions since then

    The win stats for last season are irrelevant, when a manager is basically ripping up the side. I hate to imagine what Powell's numbers looked like in 2010/11.

    Whilst I admire the positivity I can’t quite agree. I’m
    very happy with Adkins but I do think Cook is the best manager in this division. He knows how to get teams promoted.

    Last season Ipswich were a joke. By the time he came in it was pretty much accepted Ipswich were useless. The stats are bad, but it was more of the manager experimenting to figure out who was worth keeping.

    I don’t think we will do badly at all this season, but saying we’ll finish above them at this point seems unlikely. Let’s be honest, we’d have all loved to have signed Fraser and Pigott.

    I’m not trying to say Ipswich are the best side league one has ever seen before a ball has been kicked, however they have done a lot of stuff very well in this off season. At the moment, they are stronger than us.

    Would have taken Fraser but happy to stay away from Piggot. 

    Out of both Wigan and Ipswich signings, there is only 1 player from each team I would take (Humphrys Wigan and Fraser Ipswich.)
