    What you're saying is we're missing those star players who lift the whole team up a level.

    Bowyer had Cullen, Bielik/Gallagher and Taylor as you say. Powell had Yann supported by several others.

    This team doesn't really have that - Dobson and Stockley are very important but they need help.
    Dobson and Stockley are both good at what they do but neither of them are in the kind of role that lets them lift teams by pure example.

    Dobson is fantastic at his role of midfield warrior but if he is fighting fires all over the midfield he can't also be creating chances or tearing forward to have a shot - which is where Gilbey/Morgan/Lee need to be stepping up.

    Stockley is likewise good at scrapping with defenders and winning the ball but he can't ALSO be making chances for himself and others at the same time (where Kermorgant could.)
  • Tension mounts as the window creaks on its hinges and nothing happens. 
  • It is a big if, but if we have enough in the tank right now to survive relegation, then I wouldn’t be signing Fraser.
    We need a clear out and re-build with a mind to bringing on the young players. I think Fraser would be more clutter.

    My favourite part of this thread is @Plaaayer posting for the first time in eight years and getting called a twat and told to fuck off straight away.
    Well if the cap fits… :-) 
  • We’re playing the media game. We want two players really….a new number 8 (Fraser)…& a new number 10 (Szmodics).

    When top proven league one players become available on a perm then you have to buy them.

    Sandgaard wants Prem in 3.5 years and knows he needs to upgrade more than one position to get out of L1.

    Once the clock strikes 11pm, we’re gonna blow this league away.
    Won’t be signing two when we’ve already brought in John.

    Not a chance we’ll be in the Premier League in three and half years under Sandgaard.

    No problem sir. That’ll be £1M, thank you very much. Cheap at the price. 
    Well we have wasted  half of that on one player who's already been shipped out whilst the overall effect of our last season and a half is we are not in the mix for top 6 where we need to be. So just maybe its a false economy to keep paying out for players on smaller fees (250K) as been reported and still not have the engine that makes it work.

    Gilbey has a fantastic engine. Dobson is quite mobile for a holding/sitting player. And Lee covers a decent amount of ground for a playmaker/#10. Even Morgan's workrate is decent these days. I don't think their issue is a lack of mobility. I think sometimes it's a lack of technical ability or tactical nous to find space off the ball. 

    Fraser is a tough one because he was there in the summer but we didn't get him. Plus, we did have a not particularly mobile playmaker in Shinnie, who we let go (though he is about five years older, and it's hard to see where he would have fit in Adkins' 4-2-3-1). This window does have a feeling of correcting mistakes we made in the summer. Which, hey, better late than never. But still frustrating.

    I'm also a bit gutted we pulled out of a deal for Marcus Browne. Obviously there's a risk signing a player off of an ACL injury, but the bits I saw and read about him he seems to have a very high upside, especially at our level. He's one that, because he's coming back from injury, we may only have a shot at signing now. My bigger concern for him was where he would play in our system. But he seemed to have the technical ability and pace to be a game changer. 

    Fraser looked very good against us last season. And might turn into a decent signing, and is probably lower risk than Browne (and yes they do play different positions so it's a bit apples and oranges). But I don't think he has Brown's ceiling. 
    Totally agree with your assessment of Brown & Fraser, that's my thinking as well.

    Dobson is a given he does the defensive job.  I am not convinced of Gilbey or Lee as the main man to make the midfield tick consistently.

    Good to see you posting again @Happy Valley
  • Going to be hard to concentrate on this thread and the match today. Imagine this thread will be busier than the match thread today.

    Little bit in this on Fraser. Apparently the bid exceeds what Ipswich paid in the summer...

    I don’t get why I keep reading this - we are still in a battle to stay away from relegation. If we think we are playing for nothing then we will have a big shock in a few months l.

    Gives me a bit of hope that comment - if Ipswich are leaking they are making a profit (whether they are or not, and it wouldn't surprise me), it feels like that's explaining it before it happens.

    When the window opened we were looking to bring in two and possibly three players.
    Burstow has displaced Davison and we have added Chucks. We have bought in a left wing back who is out of contract in the summer so if he does well we may be able to make permanent. The extra one is an exciting youngster who looks destined for the Spurs 1st team in the near future.
    Overall a good January window.

    Now we after a fourth and yet some are saying it is another disaster. If we do manage to get one of the two suggested targets on a permanent it will change a good window to a fantastic window IMO.
    We are edging towards having a squad of players that are actually our players which is good.
    Many won’t be happy until they see consistent results and performances on the pitch, regardless of any signings made. That means winning promotion from this league and then competing in the Championship (not saying that’s right or wrong).

    Still light in the goalscoring department

    That’s a lot of reliance on unproven youngsters with potential, they still may not cut it. Hoping otherwise, but it’s a gamble on our part. We need some proven quality as we’ve been let down by the quality players we thought we had.
