So you have a great track record of judging if players are any good or not, based on watching them once?!

Never once said it was particularly wise or seek any great attention from my observations. I’ve just passed an opinion from the little I’ve seen of him. I’ll pass another the next time I see him play. Watching Ipswich not on my list of priorities, got a wide range of interests and friends to keep me busy Might do him good to show a bit loyalty and stay with Ipswich for a year. Again not a player I know. Just passing on thoughts of those that follow their team home and away.

Genuinely feel sorry for these bairns that didn't grow up and watch Messi week in and week out.

Vini is about to stink up the WC

Allegiances aside, would you rather go to Man Utd and start 95% of games or come here and play in 95% of games. It’s easy to look at the negatives and think he won’t join because he’ll not start every game but what about the positives? He’ll be coming into a trophy winning, (probably) champions league club with a really good young team who are managed by one of the best in the world. The manager plays extremely striker friendly football and he can be a big part in our almost guaranteed future success. The ultimate bottom line here is that if we want to go to the top we’ll need to start convincing good players to join even if they won’t start every game, because that’s what the bigger clubs do. We need as good a squad as possible if we’re in Europe and attacking the domestic cups every year, so deliberately buying dedicated “back ups” won’t help.

No wonder he's in the baller league.

Yeah basically what I meant. The 3 promoted teams from last season were never staying up, it was hardly a reasonable argument at any point. Leicester and Southampton were an embarrassment, lost about 25 home games between them. Only Ipswich had a tiny chance thanks to some half decent away results (they were pitiful at home as well) and I give them credit for taking it as far as they did. You need to be prepared to spend a ton and there's no guarantees you won't go straight back. But maybe yo-yoing for a few seasons, trading as much as possible, can get the finances into a position where it's possible to come up and stay up.

Not with the prices they’re charging currently, they’re pissing off locals as well by not selling season tickets and siphoning tickets off to resale sites.

Good on Satoshi got more life in him than some of our season ticket holders and didn’t have his camera out when we scored.

Will they get fans to fill it ?

Break psr like Forest, stay up and take the hit to build after.

Seen a pic of City’s new stand, looks like it’s just the current small bottom tier with a big tier stuck on top like Villa’s north stand. That Leeds development’s not bad though their South Stand looks untouched and it’s a fucking shit hole like our East Stand. Still think our plans will be next level when they drop and blow all these out the water.

I've not said I rate him very highly, I just said it's not wise to judge him off one game as you seem to do regularly. Plenty of Prem games on the telly to watch him I've said for a while I can't see him going anywhere to be second choice. As for Hutchinson he doesn't even play in the same position as Delap

News article link to the great Claudio Gentile was funny,He's had enough of it all

Mackems are nailed on to play someone dreadful in the play-offs, whether it's them or Millwall or Blackburn, doesn't matter and they'll probably win. Terrible standard but plenty of excitement in a lot of games is the general gist I have from what i've seen. No team down there is prepared for the chasm between the top 2 leagues. Best case for the promoted teams is 17th and build from there like Forest did.

If Isak goes, I'd be hoping for someone better than Delap to be his eventually replacement.

The home shirt is now an iconic shirt after the cup win, so it will be in demand a little longer. On top of this, they have pulled a lot of the stock for both the Final edition, and the Champions edition, both of which are selling at full price.

Hutchinson is a right winger/attacking mid though not a striker. He was definitely their best player when they got promoted last year, but hasn't really done it this season when fit.

Just seen this on FB Marketplace. Seems legit. £25

The standard of the division is absolute dross nowadays. 5 seasons ago this Bristol City side would have finished bottom half.

Udinese at home and likely already relegated Venezia the last two are bankers. I'd be absolutely amazed if Juve didn't finish top 6.

That’s not to be knocked, though you’d hope he would if he’s your main man and paid I’m guessing close to if not your club record fee on him whilst also taking penalties (?) You also seemed to overlook that I share the opinions of a half dozen Ipswich fans who I’m guessing have seen him more than us both and they all thought Hutchinson was the better player. Will be interesting to see his next move if they cash in and how he develops. Just not sure I see him fitting our system on that performance and the fans wouldn’t have his diving. I take it you rate him very highly? Where do you see him going?

Bruno's comment to that post

Why does it matter if both centre backs are left footed? I know we'd naturally like the balance of a right and a left footed player, but some of the best CB partnerships in my lifetime have both been right footers.

They'll still beat Sunderland. Leeds are just too good for this division.
