Like with Simms, very much doubt we've paid £2m up front.
Like with Simms, very much doubt we've paid £2m up front.They probably looked at the Thomas sale as £2m is good business. Didn’t really hear him linked elsewhere and they have a lot of centre backs, I think we paid a premium there personally, he’d have likely have gone cheaper elsewhere

let’s move on from McNally he’s good but Thomas will be just as good, especially in the second season
Ipswich going for McNallyBased on his value it was showing on multiple websites such as Transfermarkt etc, obviously taken with a pinch of salt a lot of the time but all those websites had him listed very low

Ipswich going for McNally
Plenty in there to terrify Clive and Oggy for the seasonFree players we should realistically be looking at: Josh Maja, Jack Whatmough, Di’shon Bernard, Noah Diliberto, Han-Noah Massengo, Adam Forshaw, Saman Ghoddos. Some of these already mentioned.

Kitching still on the cards then.Turner saying we’re after another LCB. Which is good news. That would be the defence sorted for the season.
I think we wanted him permanent but not at the price they were asking, so turned our attention to ThomasNever likely for us, Burnley were always going to say to us the only way we could get him was by selling them Hamer.
Kitching would soften the blow of not getting McNally. I’d be happy with our defence then.Kitching still on the cards then.

Burnley have definitely done McNally out of his preferred move. Despite what the clueless bookies think there is no way Ipswich finish higher than us. With the quality we're bringing in I'm fully expecting to be in the top 6 again.

Yeh same. I guess for many the thinking was McNally would take Fadz out the middle eventually but no reason one of the others can't do that in time.Kitching would soften the blow of not getting McNally. I’d be happy with our defence then.
I'm going off Gus staying as he's currently still here. I've had a look at the business of the other clubs and not many are stronger than last season. Top 6 has to be the aim.Love our signings, but there has been a lot of turnover in our defence and that may take time to settle/gel. At the moment I'd say we'd be looking at mid-table at best (if Gus leaves), but obviously there are likely to be more signings, so will adjust expectations accordingly. Can't expect all of our overseas incomings to hit the ground running. If Gus goes, I'm expecting fun this season, but a more sustained challenge next season. Who knows, but we're all looking forward to next season, regardless !!
One thing I don’t get is balking at a loan for McNally, but taking Binks is ok. Makes me think something is in line for Binks on a permenant, even just a gentleman’s agreementYeh same.

Well we do already have 2 right sided centre halfs. We have just loaned a left footerOne thing I don’t get is balking at a loan for McNally, but taking Binks is ok. Makes me think something is in line for Binks on a permenant, even just a gentleman’s agreement
I don't remember him ever playing for Chelsea though....
Bashir Humphries pleaseTurner saying we’re after another LCB. Which is good news. That would be the defence sorted for the season.
Loans aren't free ya know. Having had a successful season with us McNally's stock has risen, Burnley are likely wanting a chunky up front loan free and a high percentage/ all of his wages covered. It may just simply have been that the numbers for Bink's made more financial sense.One thing I don’t get is balking at a loan for McNally, but taking Binks is ok.

Cant see us loaning 2 centre backs tbhBashir Humphries please
Worked out pretty well for us last season........Cant see us loaning 2 centre backs tbh
Last season though we had no option. This season there is no chance we are loaning 2 for the same position on the left sideWorked out pretty well for us last season........
You loan to fill the gaps. If there are no LCBs out there on a perm that fit our wishlist and budget then I see no reason why we wouldn't loan 2. I agree, in an ideal world you'd want your own player to develop but it doesn't always work out like that.Last season though we had no option.

We had zero budget. We signed maguire as proof of that. I just don't see us this window signing 2 players for the same position on loan.You loan to fill the gaps.

I also disagree that we had no choice but to loan McNally and Doyle last season, there would have been players we could have signed permanently for those positions it was just that the club deemed loaning 2 CBs the better option
Put us in a position no better than last year though with 2 loan CBTo be honest I’d have taken McNally again this season even if just a loan. Very good signing for Ipswich if that is where he’s headed.
Yes, but also a known quantity who already fits in here and can improve further.Put us in a position no better than last year though with 2 permenant CB
True but still leaves us having to recruit 3 more center backs in a year when fadz also no doubt leavesYes, but also a known quantity who already fits in here and can improve further.
I don't see the us improving him further as a benefit if he can go back to Burnley and they charge us more. I'm convinced we can build a permenant back line thats just as good as what it could be with a loan Mcnally in there.Yes, but also a known quantity who already fits in here and can improve further.
He would have been great but got a good feeling about Bobby Thomas and he belongs to us which is ideal.Yes, but also a known quantity who already fits in here and can improve further.
I would much prefer a younger , hungry player from abroad or loanee than someone on a big wage . Doesn't seem to be part of our plan
Well we’re having to pretty much recruit 3 strikers in this window too. Doyle and McNally were both in strong form, we were never really going to get Doyle back but the latter would have been nice.True but still leaves us having to recruit 3 more center backs in a year when fadz also no doubt leaves
