They’ve only ever released amount of years the contracts are extended

Boro also had Alan Browne popping up regularly on Dasilva’s side. It worked so well that he got hooked around the hour.

Yes?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

You're telling me that Boro made the unprecedented and totally insane decision to... play a wide player out wide, all because of Jay Dasilva?

What did Whitaker do?

 

[Deity]

You mean like they always have? Yes?

The club offered the deals, the players accepted them, the clubs position will be stronger not weaker for it otherwise Doug would not have sanctioned the deals.

If we go up it will all be academic and if we don’t we know they are very capable players in this league.

It’s very positive news.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Yes?

You were asking for more details than that

Don’t think it’s unreasonable to want to know when the new contracts expire tbf.

Wasn’t Milan always rumoured to be on a fairly small wage? Also corrects that I assume if true.

£3k a week has been a long time rumour.

 

[Ricketts]

I’ve said it before on here people are saying Dasilva has been excellent are only judging it on his previous levels not the levels of a decent full back, Boro could see he was the weak link and put Whittaker very wide and Dasilva just left him alone we’re lucky he had a bad game and they don’t feed him that much.

Perhaps you meant to put, Whittaker is a decent player and the Dasilva skilfully took him out of the game.

 

[covcity4life]

Happy with the Kitching situation and marginally MVE. But despite the feel good factor no idea why we’ve extended Dasilva.

Because clearly anyone who doesn't rate him has been shown up to have zero football knowledge

 

[MikeyMoo]

My beef with Dasilva is that red card - but whoever decided to stick with him this season made the right call. The club might also simply be more interested in investing in forward players as they appreciate in value more. Bidders played well in some of the games he played, but one at least was as a centre back I think... So not sure about next season.

 

[Lamps]

The entire squad needs replacing if we go up. Dasilva has been fine and one of the more consistent players this year.

In the Prem you can have up to 25 players but only up to 17 that are not seen as 'home grown'. We would need Rushworth and Onyeka for starters to have a chance of even competing occasionally.

Let's say we go for gold and invest £100m in our squad in transfer fees alone. That's an average of just £4m a player. But if we can get Rushworth and Onyeka we're up to about £20m already.

Our best chance of survival would be signing a Prem quality player for each position and keeping the best of who we already have. But even this wouldn't come cheap and would leave us with a massive wage bill. What would be best is bouncing between the Championship and Prem once or twice and keep improving the squad.

He is limited and is without doubt our weakest starter

It looks the best way to do it is be like Sunderland who have signed mainly big and powerful players from abroad and not the Ipswich way of signing all the best championship players or the Burnley way of praying buying a Spanish team and hoping for the best.

Even pep Barcelona would have a weakest starter, doesn't mean no new contract offered

Genuine Q: do you keep improving the squad or do you lose your best players each time you’re relegated? I think best is to replace what you can, stay up, then replace some more. But either way it’s a huge ask.

Barcelona would look to improve that position and we should have done the same, with him I don’t see what the rush was if he went totally out of contract it would be a short queue to sign him.

 

[Sick Boy]

Now the others that are staying,and Frankie?

I suspect Lampard’s negotiations are paused until the end of the season with a possible promotion on the cards. I’d expect him to sign a new contract this summer regardless of what happens.

Someone’s on the verge of a Micky Adams moment.

The issue there is you have to keep getting promoted which isn't exactly a given and if you look at what happened to similar clubs doing that in the form of West Brom, Norwich and Burnley, it either hasn't led to establishing themselves in the top flight or has led to becoming stuck in the Championship.

The wildcard in all of this is King. Would he sell the club at its peak value as a top flight club owning its own stadium complex? If the answer is yes, then depending on who he sells to you could be able to spend significantly more in that first season.

We would have to use the loan market well, if our staters Monday I think three would be ok in the prem and two of those were on loan, Rushworth as Onyeka has played there you would think him and on his day Wright.

Yeah no one would want a starter from the top team in the 2nd tier....

MVE would 100% start for us in the Prem

Judge it by the teams around us Ipswich Boro Hull and Millwall wouldn’t want him as they all have better players. Teams that can pay more sheff Utd and saints both have better players.

He would but I’m not sure I would be wanting him to, his great asset is pace and they all seem quick at the top level and his positional sense is a bit lacking still.

Oh come on he would play for Hull and Millwall

Someone is so desperate for likes they are failing to see obvious lighthearted comments. The moderators on this site really are pathetic.

Dougaty and Giles can’t see it myself

 

[Hincha]

I'd imagine we'll look to get better competition for Kitch & JDS in the summer - whether we go up or not. We were after Hughes in the summer & the Guardian article said we wanted a LB so both positions are priorities

You tie down your starters while bringing in better. Then the starters become back up (the Jamie Allen trajectory) and the cycle continues

 

[edgy]

100% strength, power and pace is what is needed to survive in the PL. You need a squad full of it. That's all that most Academies look for in players as well nowadays.

Yet we are above all of them

You are just being stubborn about jds rather than admit he's alot better than you have him credit for
