The whole world smiles

The argie on loan and hopefully Eduardo on loan tonight.

Get the champagne out.

But. But. But I thought Ipswich was a brilliantly ran club from top to bottom who were lightyears ahead of us? Lol can you imagine the rancour from you lot if that's what our transfer deadline looked like?

I read earlier in the thread he's in the last year of his deal.

Just googled it. Unused sub!

What about the Walsall game or is he cup tied?

We could have a team out there to do medical etc

To be honest if you liked Danny Simpson and enjoyed watching him play for Leicester (I did by the way) you need to get off your high horse here.

6 games is generous these days! Plenty on here genuinely wanted cooper gone after 2!

Link them mate. If any of these sources say we have only just started to seek a permanent deal for him this week I'll buy you a pint.

How on earth could you possibly know that?

I actually think it being announced tonight means the club must be quite confident of another incoming transfer tomorrow otherwise it's much better from a PR point of view to announce it tomorrow afternoon.

In my humble opinion for what it's worth. I think it will be a good sign that the club plan on more business if this gets announced tonight. If not they will sit on it and announce it tomorrow to keep the fans calm.

James Madison.

I have watched my side get relegated 6 times in my life, I've seen adminstration, players playing for free I've watched Peter Taylor tear down O'Neil's legacy in 10 months, I've seen relegation to league 1 but I have never wanted my team to lose. But whatever you keep posting your shit memes and wanting the team to lose. Hope the result hasn't pissed you off to much . Up the city.

Why?

I know it's League 2 opposition but if some of our so called fans can write him off after 27 minutes I'm allowed to proclaim him the 2nd coming of Leo ulloa after 72 minutes!

Agreed not the opposition to judge but been quite impressed.

Not even played a single competitive minute yet! That must be a record even for this place.

We would look absolutely mental if we sacked a manager a week into the season having not backed him in the transfer window it would effect our ability to bring in managerial talent for years! I can't believe people are seriously discussing it.

Maybe I'm an idealistic, happy clapper but I'm of the opinion that you should give new managers longer than 2 games (one of them a good result and performance) before baying for them to be sacked.

Interestingly he scored less goals and assisted less in the Belgium league than Jordan Ayew did in the premier league last season yet Ayew was a pathetic signing and this is good?

The two examples I sent were low and flat I don't think you need to be David Beckham to deliver those and would have every faith in a fatawu or winks to replicate them. But Yes your right though I watched the video and there was a lot of nice deliveries hit into the right areas however the season before (22/23) when Norwich didn't have Andy Hughes he only managed 4 assists so maybe there is more to it than simply having a "set piece specialist" in fact before last season he has never managed more than 4 assists in a season so maybe he isn't the specialist your making him out to be.

Rome wasn't built in a day seems a bit harsh to judge the mans work on 1 game where we had to defend about 20 corners and refreshingly didn't conceded one. also I'm not sure your right about Gabriel Sara a lot of the Norwich free kick goals I've seen weren't a brilliant dead ball whipped in but more clever routines with lots of planned front post movement and doing the unexpected like these (Sara doesn't even take the one against us):

People moan that there hasn't been any thought or strategy to the recruitment but this is so obviously a strategic signing. One of the first things Cooper did was hire Andy Hughes from Norwich. Hughes was set piece coach at Norwich and Norwich scored 18 goals from set peices last season. And jordan ayew is regularly the most fouled player in the premier league so it shouldn't take a rocket scientist to realise that he hasn't been signed for his goal contributions! I read someone else describe it as a moneyball signing and I think that's spot on. We aren't going to be able to compete talent for talent with at least 12 teams in this division so we are going to outwork them, try to hit them on the counter and win lots of free kicks and cash in on them and Im all for it!
