What could have been if we'd beat Luton that day.... Ipswich about to sign Philogene! It's quite literally a different league once you get up, financially. Luton about to sign Isiah Jones too, good player!

So in summary….

Our players are all shit and no other club would want them, we have wasted all the money. How could Robins or Lampsrd make anything of this shower ?!!?

However …..

We have Sheaf, MVE, Kitchin, Láti, Binks, Wright all targets from higher based clubs, prepared in most cases to give us more than we paid for them.

Confusing times.

Look where Luton are now

They, sensibly, funded a stadium rather than buying anything that moved just because they had a shit load of cash. Like King did.

Not sure if any of the ITK’s have heard similar, but have heard Lati out is all but done, and the fee is pretty good.
I’ve heard that he’s “on a list” for Sheff Utd. And in my words, there are targets also on the list that you would surely pick ahead of him like Omabamidele.

Biggest summer balls up was signing BTA instead of a CM . The urgency of the CM issue was obvious to virtually everyone with the exception of those responsible for recruitment and final purchase decisions.
This assumes it was a case of either/or. Was there no money for a midfielder or did we just fail to bring one in? At the time we brought BTA a lot on here thought we were desperate for a striker to replace Golden so if anything Bassette was the mistake. Personally I think the club assumed/gambled that Gyokeres and Hamer would move but that is just me speculating.

I phrased this rather badly. The meaning was that the money spent on BTA was wasted as he is both shit and was not needed . Better to have those funds for elsewhere in the side

maybe they thought we didn’t need another midfielder ?, we recruited in the summer to play 433. Eccles, sheaf , torp Allen rudoni and guess they didn’t bank on palmer leaving ? competing for 3 spots, guess they thought that would be enough

I think you can only assume one of two strikers last season were for sale and something went wrong?

Yeah TBF I might have looked into loaning him out the instant Bassette came in. They might have done for all I know though. I actually think he is better than most make out and might have had his moments in the run in were we playing for anything but respect your view and agree the squad has no balance.

I think it is clear (despite what DK might have said) that we must have been looking for a midfielder in addition to what we had. Robins certainly gave that impression and we were linked with (at least) two. Sometimes things just don't work out.
