We were terrible. Worst I've seen us play for ages. None of the players looked Luke themselves. Derby were imperious and it could have been a higher scoreline.

We've not won at PP since promotion, have we? Even when we deserved it, we've come away with not much. Can't see that changing based upon our recent away performances. We'll look good in general, unplayably good in spells, and then our weak underbelly will result in a draw or loss.

Raw, pacey, direct, great attitude and has an eye for goal. Is seriously rapid. Needs to develop his football mind in my opinion, as his decision making and composure aren't great. Let's put it this way, if we were a L2 side and got him on loan I'd be very pleased. Always has a smile on his...

I don't think there's anything in the Nketiah one, certainly not as a loan to buy - he's one of their highest rated youngster who they're hopeful of not even loaning out, let alone selling!

Think we've done some cracking business this summer, and had the security to turn down the £6m Woods offer from Swansea despite probably being solid enough without him. Our B team transfers look like something from Championship Manager (unofficial fees in brackets - sell-ons received for Mawson...

Ah yes, very good point. Although a slightly different situation as he would have been arriving from our sister club - so not too comparable with a general loan. I think it was the Kaikai issue that was the final nail in the coffin for our loan transfer dealings - told by CP that he'd be staying...

I don't think we were actually ever in for him on loan - was mostly journalists putting an early transfer interest in him back in the news. Although, you're right, he looks to have done very well since.

Was Canos the last player we signed on loan? Think that was three years ago, and we went for him because he wanted out at the end of the season at Liverpool.

So... that John Egan, eh?

Markets move. With only two days left of the window it's unlikely that he'll go for less than £20m. Is he worth £20m based on his current ability? No. Is he worth £20m as an asset to us? Almost certainly.

Yeah, I was there for that. League One it was, and our goalkeeper coach had to go in goal for us - thankfully it was his only appearance. I recall us being 2-0 down at one point despite you only having 1 shot. That was a dreadful period for us. Andy Scott was getting more and more defensive and...

Played well. Wasn't tested much. A bit slow with his distribution, but I suppose the nerves of a debut at a higher level tend to rein in a performance somewhat. I imagine he'll be replaced when Julien Jeanvier has a full week of training following his transfer. I think Konsa has probably been...

There's a weird belief that people who've spent their lives playing football are the best at running football clubs. Instead, the most competent owners and management teams come from a variety of backgrounds - this applies to most industries, not just football. Our owner (Matthew Benham) has...

As far as I am reliably informed, we rejected a higher bid than that in January this year, so would have thought you weren't too far off with your guess - maybe go down to £6m plus a shed load of add-ons.

If Waghorn is the vital component to avoiding relegation, then of course he's worth £5m and more. You watch him week in, week out, so of course you're knowledge of his importance to the team is beyond that of non-ITFC supporters. My point was simply that, at age 28 and with one good season under...

Personally I think £5m for Waghorn is very good money for Ipswich - not necessarily for just for Ipswich, but any side that he played for. He's 28, not likely to get any quicker, stronger, etc., and has had just one good season in English football. His goalscoring and assisting of last season...

I think he's going to be a bit like Hogan. Use Flo properly and Derby will have a real player on their hands - he was a key part of our quick, incisive passing game last year. Use him poorly and play him in a different role to the one he was successful in at Griffin Park (similar to how Villa...

Premier League squads require a quota of homegrown players (or, if they avoid this, then their available squad size diminishes accordingly), therefore with the increasing transfer fees across the board, it's only natural for Championship clubs to demand excessive fees for their homegrown talent.

:ffs: :eyes:

Apologies - I'd somehow taken "For all my past slating of Brentford's business regarding transfer fees" as that you had been critical of our transfer activity. Silly me ;) Would like to have a look through said argument - I've got sod all to do today - but couldn't find it. You got a link?
