    Just a few days left as our mid table chasing squad takes shape 
    who’s going where ?
    any other hidden gems in the Ipswich reserve side for us to covet and jostle over 
    The excitement of this history making failure of a season for us knows no bounds .
    Strange take IMO

    We have a manager in place now who seems decent & the balance of the squad is far better than it was a few weeks ago, with possibly another couple to come in.

    I'm more optimistic now than I've felt for a while

    Unless Wollacott demanded a transfer (which is unlikely as he's not even fit yet) we'd be mad to let him go. As others have said you never know when AMB is going to be injured again and then we'd be playing Harness with an U21 keeper on the bench.
    Still think Wollacott number one done nothing wrong .. 
    Glad you ain't picking the team.

    I'd still expect 2 in and 2 out before the deadline , obviously that would give us 6 loans potentially but with Kane's injury that isn't too much of an issue immediately. 

    Maybe a couple of the youngsters go out on loan too.

    Expect or hope?

    This basically means no-one else will pay his high wages so he’d prefer to stay here even if he never plays.

    Not for what he would cost in wages.

    Ian Evatts comments sound like Kieran Sadlier could be available....

    Wollacott started the season very brightly and was one a few positive signings. AMB has been excellent shot stopper but I remember the Oxford 3rd lets judge him on half a season not a handful of games he undoubtedly is playing in a team thats in the best form its been in this season.

    I'm not convinced either have earned the title of No. 1. The competition is healthy so I wouldn't be looking to off load.

    I really would not blame him. He is coming to the latter stages of his career and was asked to play in a formation that does not suit his skills and experience. That was Garner's fault not his.

    More going off Holden's interviews really , sounds like we could be quite busy

    Stockley stay as 3rd/4th choice now is hardly the end of the world.  If he is still here on the first of September that's a bit different.  I would imagine him and Kirk would be the two that they want off the wage bill though.

    I hope so, Marcus. What concerns me is that Holden clearly wants players but will the club pay what is required to get them ?

    Leaburn, Bonne, Stockley is fine for the rest of the season imo. Especially if we're only playing one striker

    I get that it is natural for him to think about number one.

    The problem with deadwood like him & Kirk hanging around though is that they’re eating up a significant chunk of our salary budget which is preventing us from creating a squad good enough to get out of L1.

    I hoped Andy Scott might be able to move out more of our prephirary players but it looks like we’ll be stuck with the same top earners doing nothing (and consequently stuck in this shite league).

    I think he want's a move back South. Orient are interested too.

    McGrandles out seems sensible.  If we get the player I was told about Saturday he’s slightly more advanced so wouldn’t be a like for like.  Depends if we want to “force” a deal through

    We were also looking at another centre midfielder but I don’t know his name.
    Is it Danny Shittu?

    Yes they proved that last window with a 400,000 bid for a striker unfortunately we missed out to Huddersfield he was BG number one target

    Bit gutted about this. I'd like him gone. Bad attitude, offered precisely nothing this season and is likely our top earner. Go and play football somewhere else. (Although sounded like only L2 interested again). Will offer nothing even as 3rd/4th choice. 
  • Surely Kirk and DJ will go?

    I guess we're looking for replacements first though.

    Swisdom's 'force' clue might refer to Mason Burstow. "Burst' is a type of force. Or maybe Mason being a builder is also a work force. If Burstow did come back on loan he would be behind Leaburn and Bonne and probably Stockley as well, although I imagine Stockley will be on the move.
    Swisdom's clue - got to be Max Power hasn't it.   :)

    One man's trash is another man's treasure 😉
  • You would think that an exit is likely to appeal to Kirk if we find him a club in the north west nearer to his family.

    Part of the problem with Stockley is that he not only is on high wages but is also settled in our area (so bloody hard to shift).

    No idea what the case is with DJ. He is the one out of these 3 that I would keep unless we have a top winger lined up to come in as a replacement.
  • I would think that they bought in Bonne with the expectation that they would off load Stockley in the window, well that went well didn't it...

    It’s more a question of whether you want to shell out £6k a week (if Salary Sport website is correct) for your third choice striker. The money could be better spent elsewhere really. Not sure how long is left on his contract, but that £6k will be a major disincentive for any club interested in signing him.

    Oh if we can offload him and get someone else in I still would. But just don't think anyone will be silly enough to pay £6k a week for a crock

    Re: Leaburn being sold, the current speculation re: a takeover would complicate things, but if it were TS and someone came in with even a bid of £1m, he’s likely to accept it, regardless of if we think he’s worth more.  

    When you’ve spunked as much money as he has, with what I presume is little chance to recoup it, you’ll take every penny you can get 
    No chance TS accepts £1m or Leaburn would already be gone. 

    If he sells Leaburn any new owner will say the club is now worth £X million less as you’ve just sold off the best asset and only thing you own that’s worth anything. Leaburn is probably the only thing that TS can use to justify asking for a decent fee to sell the club so he won’t want him gone on the cheap 
    You think Leaburn is worth £10m? But more to the point, why are you writing in Roman Numerals?

    If you had 18 months on a contract on 6k a week.  Why would you move to good knows where for 2k a week?

    I mean someone like Salford or Wrexham might offer him decent money.  If he sees Chislehurst, or where ever, as his "forever home" he probably needs to see out his contract to pay for it. 

    I don't think there would be the same problem for the likes of Kirk or Lavelle but off loading older players who are from the South East, or have settled there, is a big problem for us.  Hence we are paying a very high % of Gilbey and JFC's wages to play 4th tier football.
