Well, Richie does like signing players who can play in multiple positions!

Strong rumour with Ipswich fans that he’s going to Oxford - bollox, if it happens.

That would be a blow . So far I've been less than impressed with our recruitment . I'm still waiting for these exciting signing's Nigel

Never a truer word said in jest .

If this happens it’ll be upsetting .
Our recruiting so far is late and very average I’m afraid https://the72.co.uk/2024/07/05/ipswich- ... nsfer/amp/

The chances of us being able to sign players with the quality of El-Miz's is beginning to look quite remote . Going by the standard of our signings so far I think we're really going to struggle next season .

Ideal signing for both parties really. El Miz gets to play at a higher level and is likely to be in the starting line up every week.

Oxford get a Championship quality player and probably for a decent price as Ipswich are looking to offload.

Not proven at Championship level YET. , and will probably be playing league one when Oxford get relegated unless he has an out clause in his contract

The article is based off two posts on an Ipswich fan site where they don’t commit to anything language wise. A lot of ‘understand’ and ‘likely’.

Our signings so far have been abysmal so far

Again , as the other thread titles states , we can't compete .

Bit OTT Wellens must be happy with transfer policy or would never have signed a new contract

Or maybe Wellens was promised more than what has been forthcoming, which seems to be the case so far.

He signed his contract about 3 weeks ago after 2 years of working for the club fully aware of how we operate, obviously he is signing players that he has worked with before/ or youngster s he feels will improve under his leadership . If in your opinion they are abysmal then you are not on the same wavelength as someone who has earned his living in the professional game, it s different from playing computer games

Idris set to join Oxford U for 400k according to East Anglian Times just now. https://www.eadt.co.uk/sport/24437399.i ... rd-united/

Good luck to him, hope El Miz does well.

Shame he's not coming back but its not as though El Miz is irreplaceable.

Still not signed

Personally I’ve now given up hope of us getting him back.

How long have you worked in the EFL? You seem to have more knowledge than Richie

Well we’re never going to pay 400k for him are we . It’s very disappointing not to get him back.

I have total faith in Richie it’s the influence from Ling and the transfer committee that I blame.
