Another one in for Ipswich;
I think he's a good solid signing for them. We could do with adding a bit of Premier League experience.Only one I'd still want of theirs is Diop, Lukic is a decent player but we've signed better.
it's an ok signing, better than most of the rest of their signingsI think he's a good solid signing for them. We could do with adding a bit of Premier League experience.
Apologies if already posted but think we need to start being worried about the business Hull are doing.

2 of their CBs from last season are better than Neumann, namely Hughes & AjayiTheir signings, even the links that haven't happened yet, are so Championship.
Yeh Neumann isn't even Birminghams best CB and I wouldn't want Klarer either tbh. Very strange, their transfer approach appears to be very scattergun.2 of their CBs from last season are better than Neumann, namely Hughes & Ajayi
Tbf, they probably weren't planning for getting promoted, so it's understandable that it's all going to be a bit ad-hoc.Yeh Neumann isn't even Birminghams best CB and I wouldn't want Klarer either tbh. Very strange, their transfer approach appears to be very scattergun.
Definitely. I think they think he's what Yirenkyi actually is though. Reckon he'll be way off it to start with, especially in a poor team. Doubt he'd make our bench most weeks honestly at this stage.Didn't realise they'd signed Hjerto-Dahl. Would've like him, but as a development player.
Hjertø-Dahl looks a cheerful little muffin, though.That keeper looks scary!
To me they don't seem to be getting a squad ready for this season as they couldn't afford it but are getting ready for next season back in the Championship.Yeh Neumann isn't even Birminghams best CB and I wouldn't want Klarer either tbh.

Which isn’t a terrible idea, it’s what Ipswich tried to do in 24/25. Hull just don’t have the resources to attract good players and I’m not entirely convinced they’d win the Championship with their squad this season or even last.To me they don't seem to be getting a squad ready for this season as they couldn't afford it but are getting ready for next season back in the Championship.
Getting promoted has sorted out their money problems. With not having any players that could make the step up they wouldn't be able to build a Prem side let alone a Prem squad.Which isn’t a terrible idea, it’s what Ipswich tried to do in 24/25.

It also sorted out Luton with giving them the money to finish of the ground… it ended with relegation to L1.Getting promoted has sorted out their money problems. With not having any players that could make the step up they wouldn't be able to build a Prem side let alone a Prem squad.
Ipswich want to do a fair bit more in the market
I actually agree with you. I don't think they'll be bad bad, should be much better than their last incarnation, but i prefer what we are doing. If your best signings are players not wanted by Fulham its all a bit meh. Fulham could well be one of the clubs we need to gun for this year.They need to do a fair bit more. They haven't brought in much quality yet. They've gone for quantity over quality so far. We've signed half the amount of players for nearly the same amount of money.
Maeda will play on the left, Emersonn is back-up so we’ll be after another striker as well to start. Doubt Abraham happens, Villa apparently prefer a permanent whereas we want him on loan.Be shocked if they do go for Abraham, already brought in Maeda and that Brazilian non goal scorer then spent 24m on.

Saying that it sounds like business far from done. Ipswich will have a better chance than Hull anyway. Hull are going to be laughable![]()

If you play Maeda on the left in the PL you are stupid and you aren't playing 24m for someone to be a back up.Maeda will play on the left, Emersonn is back-up so we’ll be after another striker as well to start. Doubt Abraham happens, Villa apparently prefer a permanent whereas we want him on loan.
Meanwhile in Hull…
Robins done a number on him big time when we played them in the FA CupIpswich also have the disadvantage of having Gary O'Neil as their manager.
Maeda’s primary position is off the left and he’s played there all of pre-season. Sticking him up front when he’s 5ft 8 would be a choice…If you play Maeda on the left in the PL you are stupid and you aren't playing 24m for someone to be a back up.
