Quite right. I meant last "year" as it was towards the end of the 23/24 season. I'm not negative and I want him to be brilliant for us but I was a bit concerned about some of the comments I have seen. My views might have been a bit skewed by the fact that he was, at best, our third choice CB...

I only said, "We will see". Obviously I hope that he is. Quite a few (though I would say a minority) of Ipswich fans are pleased he has been shipped out. I've not see him play, as he was an unused substitute in the league game at the CBS last season (which doesn't exactly inspire confidence)...

They are not. Just free agents until January. P.S. Sparks posted while I was typing 🙂

I have had a look on the Ipswich fans forum. A few are saying "good riddance" to Woolfenden but most are sad to see him go. The consensus seems to be that he is an experienced, calm, dependable CB. He may be just what we need but I wonder if he is really much of an upgrade on Bidwell. We will see.

He has shown some ability to get past defenders and put in a decent cross. It's not guaranteed that he will work there but FL - who has seen far more of him that you or me - obviously thinks he can. I doubt that he will be an out-and-out attacking left wing but remember what I said: Seeing...

I totally agree. I think most footballers should be capable of playing in more than one position. Dion Dublin was a great example of a player who made a big change and was very successful at CB.

FL obviously seems to think he can play there and from the little we have seen I think he is capable of doing a job. He is a good option to bring on (or push forward if he started) for EMC - or Haji if he's playing there - in games where we need to protect a lead.

I reckon the key problems we faced were (a) other clubs not being prepared to sell the players we wanted (Charlie Hughes being the most obvious example) and (b) the market being significantly inflated, no doubt due in part to Birmingham and Wrexham. Apart from at full back we haven’t added any...

I think FL sees the potential of Rapha. Clearly he doesn't rate Bassette. A loan for Rapha may be a good thing for his development.

Frank Lampard has resigned in disgust at not getting players in?

Saka off to Wrexham.

The surprise could be that Wolfenden has failed his medical. 😳

Can we still register FL as a player? 🙂

I think we would be in a pickle. In that event I would probably try Torp - or possibly Rudi - as a false 9.

I doubt he will come, as he probably has his sights set on higher things. It’s a shame as I think he could have performed miracles for us. He’ll probably sign for Saints. 🙂

I reckon that, age wise, he is just what we need. Plenty of experience but nowhere near past it. Indeed, for a CB, he’s probably just entering his prime years. I agree we are unlikely to make a profit on him but if he helps to get us into the Premier League that is an irrelevance.

I disagree. As a CB he could easily have another ten years at Championship level.

I reckon Luke Woolfenden is a decent buy. I would rate him at least as highly as Thomas and Kitching and he will provide competition rather than just be cover.

I think for many on here it was around the middle of June. 🙂

Football is nothing unless we can dream 😊
