Idiot

Spain u21 international, scored in prem league, scored two in playoffs, young, pacy, skilful, could play across the front 3….
We won't get more than 10m for him imo. Decent sell on.

I got pelters when I disagreed with people saying we'd get 25m for Clarke
 
No. . . but isidor, mayenda, neill and onien shouldn't be here next year
Well obviously Dan Neil is out of contract anyway, assuming you mean him.

Isidor literally scored home and away against this season's Europa League champions. How much to replace a lad scoring at a rate of 1 PL goal every 193 minutes?

You'd have to be stupid to get rid of O'Nien, a lad with a 10/10 attitude who fits the homegrown rule, is an established leader at the club and has stepped up fine.

Mayenda needs to play regularly, he probably will be sold just because of how quickly we've improved, shame like cos he's had a few iconic SAFC moments.
 
One thing I’m really comfortable with is that any lack of success this coming season will not be through our ownership and football leadership structure failing to plan and prepare for next season.

Maybe things won’t go our way, key targets turn us down etc or we have some shocking injury issues. But the club will have actually tried to execute a proper plan.

Unlike during the Short years where throwing money around like confetti achieved nothing
In principe yeah I agree, think it’s clear now though selling players effectively is as important as buying with new rules as they are
We bought him for 1 million quid I believe to sell him for anywhere near 20 million with sell on looks a good deal to me
We’ve sold Clarke, Bellingham and Stewart and not missed out on the pitch it’s also helped us in the transfer market

We missed out enormously losing Clarke and Stewart in championship …latter cost us a season in that tier.
Clarke had he stayed we would have been auto promoted .. same end result… just !

When you see what strand Larsen went for I tend to agree with you

Clarke always looked the part with us and despite still scoring it looks as though Ipswich still lack faith in his consistency.
Dont really think that Stewart has ever proven himself as a remotely regular scoring c’ship striker
I think anyone would be but he's proven he can play well at this level club clearly rate him more
Makes me nervous as hell when he brings the ball out with his feet
He is an accident waiting to happen

Patto isn't going to stay as third choice
Possibility due to home grown role that we may loan out Elborg and have Patterson as back up

A Europa League squad can have 25 players, but 8 of them must be “homegrown”meaning trained within and English FA Academy between ages 15–21. Of those 8, at least 4 must be trained by the club itself. If a club cannot meet these numbers, its squad size is reduced accordingly

Rigg, Patterson - from the club

Ballard, Moore, o’nien - wider homegrown (Hume doesn’t count as Irish FA)

No doubt I’ve missed some players

Have a feeling we will see likes of Geragusian and others from u21s named in the Europa league squad

Clearly we need some homegrown players brought in
