Summer 2024 Transfer Window Discussion - Rumours and Links welcome

[Blyclaret]

And as for Foster. He has a Short memory. Not long ago he was on sick leave from his job getting payed. That’s the way he shows respect and gratitude. But the first smell of money he’s gone. I don’t think we need a guy like this around the club.

[Row x]

It does 17m owed from clubs

I think we were owed more than any loan taken out, but this isn't really the thread to debate it on

[fatboy47]

We’ve no idea whether Mejbri, Sarmiento and Anthony are going to be the extent of the remaining incomings.

....we've no idea if they're coming at all.

[BigChaCha]

I know we're still over the 25 but we would need to replace Foster with someone capable of playing a part this season because having just Jay Rod and Hountondji as recognised forwards is not the way you go about challenging for promotion.

With just Jay Rod and Hountondji I'm more worried about avoiding relegation... You can forget anything like promotion if they are our 2 main strikers!

[Benson]

Surely we can’t be agreeing to any ‘if Ipswich stay up’ clause? I’d rather Lyle trains on his own all season than loan him for zero reward.

Any such clause would be madness given the fact that Ipswich went into administration to avoid paying their debts the last time they were relegated from the top flight.

For me the accounts at the end of July 23 combined with the money spent last season makes the rumours of us needing to generate 100m this summer in sales to be true

[Blyclaret]

It must be similar to Tresor. Relegation or otherwise we get 25m. Any other deal is brain dead.

[Blyclaret]

It looks like Ipswich are going down the vk route buy buy at any cost … a very dangerous game when it goes wrong. Example Burnley.

[Benson]

The Gawthorpe Whisperer! Fair play.

The Horse Whisperer would be more appropriate.

If that was really the driving factor, why wait for one week to go to start a fire sale?

[Steddyman]

Luton have agreed an £8m deal for Ogbene according to Sky. Do they still need Lyle? He's the better striker anyway.

Ogbene isn’t a striker.

Other clubs needing to sell first also

[FeedTheArf]

Matt Williams must be having flashbacks. Bet it’s like working for the Oystons again.

Who have Ipswich sold ?

Bit of hope for the Brighton winger move. They’re letting another player out on loan today who scored last night.

[gandhisflipflop]

Longside claret said that he expected the deals to be done before we next play, which would make any incomings today. We desperately need some hope and good news ahead of Saturday

[123EasyasBFC]

Who have Ipswich sold ?

They have just been promoted, they are doing what we did, spend all their tv money without selling anyone, if they go down they will be in the same situation

[Steddyman]

Ogbene isn’t a striker.

It says he is a forward on the Sky announcement.

[KRBFC]

It says he is a forward on the Sky announcement.

He played striker for Rotherham and wide for Luton.

[Benson]

So the could have spent this money in July which is what the poster was alluding to.

Our players weren’t their first choice signings

Both Hannibal and JA trained yesterday.

They have spent money in July? They have spent money all summer but just decided to target some more of our players in August

[123EasyasBFC]

Both Hannibal and JA trained yesterday.

Same source that said an announcement was imminent

[wadeswondergoal]

It was, but something has evidently happened at the club in the last 18 hours…

[Pearcey]

At Man U and Bournemouth you mean. Are you the gawthorpe whisperers other half?

[Ric_C]

You could've worded that better. I nearly had a heart attack

[wadeswondergoal]

No, I mean trained at Gawthorpe.

I understand tensions are high, but there’s an inordinate amount of nastiness on this board.

[warksclaret]

Whatever happened to the word "professional" when talking about footballers , and the way they conducted themselves. As several have already posted, no surprise we went down with just 24 points with this squad. I suspect not many of us slept well following news of Amdouini & Foster going. Lets hope work on replacements started a few days ago as these moves did not suddenly happening, and if we did not read what was going on the club are very "green" and remote from the world of football

[Pearcey]

No, I mean trained at Gawthorpe.

You joined this month and said that Parker stormed out in his car!

[wadeswondergoal]

No I didn’t. I passed on information that I was told. Probably came from a rumour on this board - seems everyone is in panic mode.

[burnley007]

There always is. It's the way people are. No idea why.

[Clovius Boofus]

Well, if they only came for Kompany, and no longer want to be here - then we are well rid. I shall shed no tear.

Better out of the door than spending the whole season gawping at their phones while stinking out treatment room.

[roperclaret]

As it stands right now, of all the players that have moved on, there’s really only 4?that I’m bothered about - Muric, O’Shea, Berge and Odobert. The first 2 have been replaced, only time will tell if the new guys will be as good, and we are led to believe the other 2 will be replaced today/tomorrow. Not one of the others has consistently been good for us. I get that strength in depth has been affected, but hopefully that can be addressed in January if not this week, or even better some of the players step up and take their chance (eg Egan-Reilly). I’m not even fussed about Amdouni, Foster, Weghorst but would like to keep Vitinho and Koleosho

[CrosspoolClarets]

What would be ironic is after this farce we somehow improve the first XI.

Berge would be tough but Billing is similar level, and we should now be throwing cash at that one rather than letting Leeds sneak in. Entirely plausible Foster, right wing, goalie (Hladky) could all be improved on last season’s versions. Not saying I see it, be it is plausible.

I’ll judge things at tea time on Saturday.

[Commy]

Who have Ipswich sold ?

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ipswich ... on_id/2024

[Sproggy]

Amdouni is on the Manc to Heathrow flight according to my mate stood behind him in the queue to get on.

[Steddyman]

It was, but something has evidently happened at the club in the last 18 hours…

Probably sold them to Ipswich or they have backed out due to the carnage.

[jedi_master]

We clearly do not have the cash to replace what is leaving with anything like a Philip Billing (who would probably cost £15m+). You don’t make these sales if you’re financially secure and that also shows in the manner of business where anyone we try to get in seems to be on a loan with a purchase if we get promoted (kicking the can down the road?). Hannibal is allegedly permanent but was originally going to be a loan. Anthony, Sarmiento and Humphreys all loans with obligations/options. Not withstanding the fact that you can only have five loans in your squad, it’s worrying that we’ve sold £150m worth of players (or will have shortly, perhaps even more than that) and still seem to be haggling over loan arrangements rather than having the money to buy.

[NewClaret]

Amdouni is on the Manc to Heathrow flight according to my mate stood behind him in the queue to get on.

That’s an odd one. Pretty sure he could get a direct flight from Manchester to Portugal.

Benfica too cheap to pay for a jet?

[123EasyasBFC]

No, I mean trained at Gawthorpe.

I understand tensions are high, but there’s an inordinate amount of nastiness on this board.

For someone who has the nerve to complain about someone posting an Amdouni rumour because it was from an account with 300 followers, which is actually happening now.

You’ve done your fair share of acting like you are getting information

[midlands claret]

that why amdouni on his travels

You’re not a very nice person are you?

[kentonclaret]

And as for Foster. He has a Short memory. Not long ago he was on sick leave from his job getting payed. That’s the way he shows respect and gratitude. But the first smell of money he’s gone. I don’t think we need a guy like this around the club.

Perhaps he just wants to go and ply his trade in an environment that hasn’t become toxic and in a constant state of upheaval with players departing on a daily basis.
For somebody with a history of mental illness hardly a stable environment for him.

[123EasyasBFC]

You’re not a very nice person are you?

Are you forgetting what you were saying to me when I posted the Amdouni link? Very rich to talk about people being nice

[boatshed bill]

Thanks for nothing Lyle makes his rant at corky look false now! He threw the towel in refusing to play the idiot! Good riddance! See you back in the championship next year he won’t get a warm welcome from me.

I saw that; quite honestly I didn't understand a word of it, or who it was aimed at.

It seems to me, having been on this board for a few weeks, that you’re a bit of a bully on this forum.

You don’t like being challenged, and you come across as quite aggressive.

Is everything ok at home?

You were happy to try and call me out about the Amdouni links, this is your 4th account on here, you now try and get personal with your last sentence.

Extremely poor form
