El miz

[LPE]

This is a statement.

Says a lot about RW and how players wish to work with him.

More than delighted at this. Buzzing.

Richie Wellens was a central midfielder. He knows what it takes. Dominate central midfield as we did so many times last season and you win matches. I am elated that El Miz is back. Elated!

Looking at Idris's history he's been out on loan at Cambridge and Grimsby but I think he progressed more with us last season then he's done before . I think you're right about that being thanks to Richie

Lovely

My bed is soaking wet!!!

Wow that is fantastic news, well done everyone at the club for making this happen.
Centre Midfield looking tasty
Sanders, Gailbraith, Idris, Moncur, Pratts, Brown
In RW we trust

TBH, I don't think there's a better midfield than that in League 1 .

Fantastic!

Well done the team for getting El Miz back. Sounds like this is where he wants to be - easy decision.

[B.whitehouse+10more]

What great news

[PKM]

Fantastic news, welcome back El Miz.
Well done Lingy & RW

[EastDerehamO]

Brilliant news.

Said to my (Posh supporting) son, who didn’t want Ipswich to go up, that from my perspective the only chance we had of getting El Miz back was if they did go up.

According to rumours we weren’t the fancied team to get him either, after it was announced that he was going out on loan again, but that is testimony to Wellens – and can’t ignore Ling either – and the fact Ipswich clearly must trust us with his development.

Didn't they have that this year too? Depth looks enough that we could cover it temporarily if we had to go looking for a replacement in Jan

[Cheshunto]

Fantastic News,
Well done RW and Lingy, oh and the Board
Massive statement of intent………We don’t intend to just make up the number in League One.

[Max Fowler]

They did have a recall last year.

If he's bossing it in L1 and they're in relegation trouble or struggling with injuries then yeah, there's a risk. But lets worry about that next year.

[Constanza]

That is a good signing

[EliotNes]

Brilliant news

[Frogger]

Most important signing by miles, on last years starting eleven then, essentially just Vigs who was a good goal keeper but there plenty of them about that can do a job, Smyth is harder as he added goals, class and a nightmare for defenders, it's getting a player who can do all that but with the end product like him

Smyth can be replaced more easily I think. Goals scored 10 and only one after Xmas. The key was defence tight as a nats ar*e.

[Stan1972]

I agree Frogger, defence again will be key, that’s why we need Ed Turns back on loan for the season.
I would be happy with 2 from 3 every game from Beckles, Happe and Turns.
Ogie can be 4th choice & Thompson can go out on loan, as I’m not a fan, just my personal opinion.
FB - James RB & Hunt LB, both can play either & we have Sweeney to fill in at LB when needed.

[ComeOnYouOs]

Haven't we already replaced Smyth?
Agyei is a similar player

[3GO]

Fantastic news, well done Idris!

Think you are right.

We often let emotion get in the way of facts. Smyth was fantastic to watch and I wish he’d signed. But the reality is, like Richie said, we have to replace around 10 goals and say 10 assists which isn’t impossible. When you consider having a player available for every game without managing minutes will also help attain the levels we need from his replacement

It's more than just 10 goals and 10 assists.

Smyth occupied opposition defences because of his pace and threat and that gave others more space.

makes you wonder why it wasn't sorted earlier then, doesn't it?
