canarybubbles 1,915 Posted July 7, 2022 People pooh-poohed me when I said this was going to happen. It's happened. Like Martin. Anyone who can actually do anything with a football rather than look good on a spreadsheet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,632 Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) He’s going on loan, which makes perfect sense. He looked just about ok for Peterborough on loan, do you think that makes him ‘right’ for a side wanting to look for promotion?

canarybubbles 1,915 Posted July 7, 2022 Why do you think we're looking for promotion? We were one of the crappest teams to ever play in the PL last season. Our squad is much, much worse than it was two years ago and our manager isn't as good at this level. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 5,926 Posted July 7, 2022 Good. We've not always given young players enough game time due to the stresses of the Premier League, or indeed when chasing promotion in the Championship. A full season down a division worked wonders for Godfrey, and Mumba needs a good, long run of games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted July 7, 2022 Given we have Aarons and Byram ahead of him, makes sense because he simply ain't going to be getting much game time here. Doesn't mean he doesn't have a future here, just means he needs to be going out and playing games regularly in order to develop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If by ‘here we come’ you mean your team (Ipswich) will be staying in league 1 then I should point out that it’s better to say ‘league one here we are’ Seriously though, you think Mumba holds the key to avoiding being relegated? How did that go for Peterborough? Good prospect, play him at that level to give him confidence battering binners and competing with Martin to show how players that can’t quite make it with us are still more than capable of bossing the dross that Ipswich can’t seem to get past year after year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canarybubbles 1,915 Posted July 7, 2022 OK, come back one year from now and see if we have 97 points, or even anywhere near that total. I don't want to be unfair; I'll go down as low as 90 points. If we have 90 points, you win; if we don't, I win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TeemuVanBasten 3,327 Posted July 7, 2022 Basically our talented kids are being sacrificed for financial reasons because we are stuck with deadwood like Placheta and Sinani on the payroll (and yes, I know that Placheta is out on loan, but doubt they are paying much more than a fraction of his salary). Mumba and Martin are victims of our poor recruitment. Famewo probably isn't quite good enough, but have to wonder whether he'd have got a spot in our squad if we weren't stuck paying Zimmerframe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have zero evidence for this. It’s equally likely, I would say more likely that they (Mumba and Martin) are either not good enough or not ready enough.

We've seen plenty of evidence, on the pitch, that Josh Martin offers more than Placheta. Our eyes don't deceive us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
